94.9 Hootenanny Concert VIP Passes

What’s up everyone!! Hope all is well. Last week (Saturday) it was still stormy, I hadn’t surfed, Steph and me were bored out of are minds and we were trying to figure out what to do for the night. All of a sudden my phone rings and it’s Greg from Synergy Surf Co, he told me he had 4 VIP tickets to the 94.9 Holiday Hootenanny at UCSD and wasn’t able to make it, he asked me if I wanted them… I said “Hell yea!!” We rushed home to get ready, took a while cause of Steph J. Then we headed down. It was raining so hard and we got a little confused once we entered the campus, no signs right away to tell u how to get to the arena, but we finally got there safe at about 6pm. Parking wasn’t to bad. We headed to the front of the line and just walked right in to the VIP area where we entered a private elevator to the to the top floor. Doors opened and it was insane. There were 4 rooms .1 had a buffet set up with great food and drinks. 2nd room was a lounge with white comfy benches, flat screen TVs to watch the concert on, a Wii to play, more free alcohol, and desserts. The other 2 rooms were a balcony to watch the concert and another sitting area. We hung out up stairs for a while to enjoy all the free food and drinks, and then went down for the concert. We were escorted down to the VIP seating area right next to the stage where the bands hang out before they go on. We saw Phoenix who is so insane, probably the best band of the night! Spoon was also insane. Vampire Weekend, they were pretty lame. Manchester Orchestra was insane and White Rabbit, which we didn’t get to hear cause, we got there a little late. The whole night we just partied and had a great time. Stephanie friend from work and her boyfriend showed up to catch the last band Spoon play, they would have been there sooner but the got super lost trying to find the place J. We all left about 12 and headed home a bit exhausted but so stoked from the night. For more pics go to www.fm949sd.com/Photos/Hootenanny2009.aspx
