I Can't believe we forgot to post this in December! Nathan won us passes(I know, I am the luckiest girl ever!) from 105.1 The Buzz (radio station) to see Adele at Urban Wine works in Portland! It was amazing - There were maybe 150 people total there and it was just her and an acoustic guitar. The location was cool but they only put out like 20 chairs. We were in the back but seriously, the experience would have been the same either way.
Aparently Adele had booked this show before her appearance on Saturday Night Live - after that show aired, her songs went off the charts! We have really liked her music for a while but after seeing her on SNL, we realized what an amazing artist she really is (For you non SNL watchers, EVERYONE SUCKS when they do SNL but she was amazing!)
The venue was really pretty. This is us out front after the show. We were really exctied, not only to hear her sing but to get to hear her thoughts on her songs and what they mean and such. Well, to our shock, when she went to explain a song after singing it, we could barely understand her! Her accent is THICK! We had a giggle over that - it was amazing.
The show wasn't super long but Courtney was STARVING when it got over but we really wanted to meet her. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and even pulled the pregnancy card before we gave our camera to Cheryl Stewart (one of the 105.1 DJ's) and asked her to just go snap a pic for us.
Afterwards, we drove down to the waterfront where Nathan took us out for the BEST steak dinner ever! We went to Ruth's Chris Steak House and WOW, it was incredible.
