In case you didn't believe me, here's evidence that he rocks:

I woke up Friday morning (my anniversary) to find this awesome card, all custom PhotoShopped by Hubs, and containing a fun surprise:

We're going to see BECK on Monday!!! I'm so excited about this, I can't even tell you. I was basically grinning all day Friday in excitement. For the concert, yes, but also for the fact that I have such a great husband. He bought the tickets on Ebay, a few weeks ago, paid cash so I wouldn't notice a credit card charge (which I would have) and drove clear across town (by "town" I mean the valley of the sun) to pick them up so I wouldn't intercept them in the mail (which I would have). He's always been the king of good anniversary presents.

I can't even describe my excitement, honestly. There are only a handful of bands/musicians who I would really want to pay money to see, at this point in my life, and Beck is one of them. I went to a Beck show once before, in 1994, when the song Loser was famous. The venue was Club DV8 in Salt Lake, and all I remember about it is who I was with (a different boy named Aaron) and what we listened to on the drive up from Provo (Primus' Sailing the Seas of Cheese) and the fact that the concert was awful. Aw-ful. BUT - Beck has come out with a gagillion really good albums since then and I am so excited for tomorrow!!


P.S. Beck isn't really holding a number 11 on his lap; that's just Hubs' PhotoShop magic. Nice, huh?

Hooray for you! That AP is a keeper.

Laurie said...

Yeah for AP for going the extra mile to plan--Dan totally forgot ours this year.

I'm wondering which box you checked. :)

I'm glad you are going to a fun concert with this Aaron, let us know how it goes.
Is that your actual ticket? I have heard that it's not good to post the numbers and the actual digital bar cause there are people that somehow can copy it and print it and get in before you, like those tickets you just buy and can print at home. It might not be true but I just wanted to tell you. Have an awesome time!!!

I know I already told you but, I am jealous! I bet you checked the "andale" box...

I'm excited for you! And my kids are completely thrilled too! Okay, so they don't care that you are going to see Beck, but they DO love that your kids will be having a half-sleepover!

By the way, remember when I was at BYU and Shima and I wanted to "decorate" our lovely little dorm room and we got a bunch of posters from you from CD Warehouse? Well, I didn't know who he was...but one of them was Beck. I still remember because people would come in our room and go, "Oh cool. You like Beck?" I ended up buying a Beck CD sometime that semester so that I could respond properly!

Sara, Have so much fun tonight and congrats on another year!!

Yep, it was Aaron Rust. There was another guy there too, a friend of Aaron's, who drove us there. It must've been during spring term 1994.
