Idina Menzel

Friday night Katy & I went and saw Idina Menzel in concert. It was so much fun!

Before the concert, we went out to dinner in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. It was nice but I decided that I hate all of the one way streets that are there! It was such a pain. After that we drove over to Humphrey's By The Bay, which is where the concert was. We walked around by the bay and looked at all the sail boats. It was really beautiful.

There was an opening act before Idina came on. It was two guys, one sang and the other played violin. The guy singing did ok but I thought the guy playing the violin did a great job. After they finished it was another 30 minutes before Idina came on.

I really enjoyed the show she put on when she came out. She told a lot of stories and was very funny. Her husband, Taye Diggs, was there and it was funny how she would alternate between acknowledging he was in the audience and pretending like she had no clue. At one point she was giving him a hard time for not bringing her flowers and then when someone made a comment about how he should come up and sing with her, she said that would be impossible since he wasn't there.

She also talked about her time as a wedding singer before she made it on Broadway. She had a lot of funny stories to tell about that but I'm sure they weren't as much fun when she was actually living them. She talked about how one time she was singing at a reception when one of the guests had a heart attack. She automatically stopped singing but one of the members of the band told her that she had to keep singing, so she did until the bride started yelling at her. She said immediately after that she made her way over to the dessert table and started stuffing her face. I'm guessing if I had been in the same situation I would have done the same thing. She also commented on how funny it was that the most common song that was requested for weddings was Saving All My Love For You. It was funny because the song is about having an affair. Go figure. Her advice was that everyone actually listen to the lyrics of the song before making it the song for their first dance as husband and wife.

Anyway, the conert was great and I'm so glad I went. Check out the pictures below of all the fun! :o)
