Dark (and Totally Awesome) Ride

Hey hey!

I mentioned in my last post that I had some fun things from the weekend to share, and Saturday night was one of them. A few weeks ago, I kept hearing about this fantastic event Lexus was promoting called the Dark Ride, A VIP Experience. And I was lucky enough to win tickets from one of my favorite bloggers, Alana!!!

So, Saturday night J and I prettied ourselves up and headed downtown to the State Theater.

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. But as soon as we walked in I knew it was going to be an awesome night. Check out the lobby:

There were free cocktails as soon as we walked in, so we immediately partook.

After a few drinks we we ushered into the theater. I’m not sure if you can see, but this is the view from the seats if you were at the theater:

(can you see me??) :)

There were bars in each corner of the stage, along with Lexus cars! The music was loud and obnoxious (and right up my alley with the hip hop), with dancers already on the dance floor and on the stage. Between the booze and music, it didn’t take long for me to start shakin my hips.

Luckily there were lots of friends at the event:

And then it was time for the concert! Seriously, I felt like I was at the club. And I loved every minute of it.

Dev rocked it out:

J and I weren’t too sure about her (we’ve never been fans of “Like a G6″), but she ROCKED.IT.OUT. We’ve already downloaded the songs she sang Saturday night and I can’t stop singing “I like my beats fast and my bass down low” to C (he’s sufficiently annoyed with his mom right now, btw, hehehe). :)

Jay Sean was up next:

And he was OK. I think Dev had already won me over so Jay Sean kinda took back seat. Sorry, Mr. Sean, but you were totally upstaged by your opening act Saturday night.

And what better way to end the night than with…..

A soft pretzel bar!!!!!!!! I die. I immediately regretted the cookie table J and I had at our wedding – soft pretzels are where it’s at!!

I don’t regret marrying this guy, though:

Stud.

I was so lucky to win these tickets – thank you, Alana!! The Playhouse and Lexus really did this event right. I sure hope there are more like this in the future!

What fun events have you been to lately??

    Now that looks like a blast. We haven’t been anywhere lately. Tony has been to Seattle for a convention, but lately his work has taken over his (and our) lives. We are considering changing that soon. You look amazing! J is one lucky man!

    I’m jealous! That looked so fun! Love Like a GG but The Lover is not a fan. And of course, am super jealous of the pretzel bar. OK maybe not that jealous since we have them where I work. ;)
