Last Friday night.... a free Ben Lee show & Sarah Hatter's Bday

So, as I mentioned in my last post - Last Friday Hez, Misty & I hit a free show downtown (put on by KFOG at some fancyshpants hotel), starring the #1 pop sensation in Australia (yes, that's right - beating out Coldplay *gasp!*)... Ben Lee!!! (the crowd goes wild)

It was great! We snuck in just in time and got right up front & then went & chatted with him afterwards. I'm officially on Team Bagel Radio now because I not only sacrificed my bagel radio 1" button right off my own jacket, but I recorded a station ID from him. woohooo! :p

Here's cutie Ben wearing said given button - I love this photo:

I also *love* this photo - how cute are my awesome show ho girlfriends?! SO AWESOME! xoxo

Hez, Misty, Ben & me! :) Aww yaa, fan girls! hahaa..

Ben is a very charming performer and I have been really enjoying his new album, Awake is the New Sleep. You should pick it up if you don't have it already.

Oh & here's the rest of the photos. It was cool to be outside & have palm trees & the Bay Bridge right behind him! Albeit it made for some harsh backlight to all our photos, but they didn't come out so bad.

And - even though I posted it before, here's a link to hez's post & photos and misty's post & photos from the event.

So I quickly raced home, changed & then met Sarah, Shannon & friends at Chow for dinner. And afterwards we went for drinks at the Argus! Here's me w/ Miss Sarah Hatter (the birthday girl!):

More photos from that night are posted here - and Sarah's (addicted to her camera phone & instant posting abilities) are here!

p.s. Sarah Hatter is THE fastest text messenger on the PLANET!

Lastly, for those of you pictured, I've snuck a few more into the Random June pics album (scroll to the bottom). Harry & I @ the Noc Noc, Jem and her beautiful painting (from when I went over to her house after BAM for a mini craft night catch up), and a few of Chris & I (looking admittedly a little tipsy) at 12 Galaxies last Thursday night. :)

Ya... June was fun... but July is already proving to be pretty kick ass. I love summertime!
