So, I didn't get to see John Mayer Monday or Jack White Tuesday...but I did get to go to the MTV Woodie Awards Wednesday.
On Monday I ran straight from work to Brooklyn, but all of the wristbands were given away. I ended up meeting a friend at the Beer Hall for a litre of beer! Around the start of the show, we went back to the venue, but still couldn't get in. Rejected again we went and had more beer and cheesepuffs....what a well balanced dinner?!
Tuesday night's show was sold out, but I wasn't upset since I was going to see the Dead Weather on Wednesday night!
For the awards ceremony we waited over an hour outside (in the cold, single-file line, and 3 inch heels). Once inside we realized it was standing room only, except for the VIP area and a long bench in the back of the venue. We managed to find a spot on the bench, where when I leaned to the left I could see the main stage! When my friend leaned to his right he could see the presenters' stage, so we took turns seeing everything!
Matt & Kim opened the show with a little strip tease from their dancers! Some of the presenters were Zooey des Channel, Alexa Chung, and Cyndi Lauper (to name a few). The bands that performed were Matt & Kim, Deathcab for Cutie, Passion Pit, and the Dead Weather! To be honest, all of the bands were ok, but the Dead Weather was beyond incredible! Waiting nearly 4 hours to see them was absolutely worth it! Jack White and his band gave an orgasmic performance that makes me want to see them again ASAP!
The end of the night was capped off with invites to the after party, which I was unable to attend, because my friend got rejected at the door. It will not be the last invite to an after party, and I will hopefully have another awards ceremony to attend sometime in the near future!...Besides, my boss offered me her red, Bill Blass couture, cocktail dress for my next affair, and that's an opportunity I can NOT pass up!
Below are some pictures (my camera started to die and couldn't focus well) from the event!
