Just about two years ago as of last month, I embarked upon an epic journey to attend as many concerts by my favorite band, Tears For Fears, as possible on their 2004/05 Everybody Loves A Happy Ending tour. Heck, fellas, I was even lucky enough to meet the band and take kissing pictures with Roland Orzabal. It was a trip - literally and figuratively.

Last weekend, Tears For Fears again decided to shed their mantles and put on a brief tour - not for business or pleasure mind you, but for the benefit of their road/tour manager, Gungi. I attended two out of four of their benefits concerts in Las Vegas and Costa Mesa, California.

To say the brief adventure was a maddening whirlwind is putting it lightly. Sure, it was only two concerts, but I felt like I was always on the go, fretting, or having to plan out my next move. It was fun as all get out, but, WHEW!

So, to sum the entire 3 day experience up...

Three flights, two hotel rooms, one car rental, two Tears For Fears concerts, two opportunities to hang out backstage with the band and my friends Afton, Gruno, Amber, Phyllis, Kathy, Vince & Julie, one amazing Cirque du Soleil show filled with Beatles music (aka, Love), and most importantly, one excellent adventure with Chris jacksonslam later... My adventuring batteries are quite recharged, and I am thoroughly looking forward to being absolutely LAZY and going NOWHERE this weekend. :)

And now for a few goofy pictures...
