Sorry for the cliffhanger the other day I just didn’t want to overwhelm you with the awesomeness that is Adam Levine! Plus I didn’t want to overload you with too many pics and videos, making the post slow to load.
So where did we leave off? Oh yeah! Heading into the concert…
When I tell you we got lucky with our hotel being right beside the arena I meant it. We also got lucky in that our seats were on the same side that we entered on so we didn’t have to travel half way around the arena for our seats. We also had escalators right by our entrance so it was pretty much an awesome night in that we had easy access to the way out when the concert was over.
First thing we did when we got in the arena, besides buy beer, was buy our t-shirts!! Can I just say that it has been a long time since I have been to a concert and I don’t remember it costing $40 per shirt?? GAH! And a beer was any where from $7-$13 depending on the size. Ridiculous I tell you!
But you know I just had to have Adam Levine’ face on my chest, right? #TWSS Of course we took a few selfies from our seats before the concert started…
The opening acts were Rozzie Crane and Magic! They were both really good but I didn’t video them. Sorry guys, I was saving all my phone battery for Maroon 5!!!
The next morning in a total state of bliss we check out of The W and hit up the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM! Confession- I had never been to the cupcake ATM before and I was in heaven!!
They even had cupcakes for dogs!! I got Strawberry, Red Velvet, and Salted Carmel. YUM!!
After the cupcake ATM we hit up Trader Joes and then went to Cheesecake Factory to eat. I love Cheesecake Factory and always jump at the chance to go if I am near one. I still don’t get why Arkansas doesn’t have one. Actually that’s probably a good thing since I would probably be even bigger than I am now!! LOL!!
After Cheesecake Factory we trekked back to Arkansas where it was freezing cold and icy. Yuck. I really hate winter.
If you ever get a chance to go see Maroon 5 in concert I would say GO because they put on an amazing show!!
What was the last concert you went to??
Going to concerts is like basically going into debt anymore. HA! The tickets, the souvenirs and the food and drinks are crazy expensive!! It looks like you had such a great trip though! They just put in Sprinkles here in Atlanta last year and I hate it because I always know that cupcake atm is open 24/7 so it’s like always in the back of my mind!!! HA!
I love Maroon 5, wish I could see their concert! $40 for a shirt? Dang, that’s expensive, lol! I have only been to a concert here in the US once, probably won’t happen anymore. I got soaked with beer on my first experience so it was taken me aback.
Eeeeekkk! I LOVE Maroon 5. They have such a great combination of modern and funk influences.
I saw Justin Timberlake in Boston last summer. We have shows here year round, but it’s busier concert wise over the summer.
Maroon 5 is on the radio as I type this comment! I bet they were a great concert…and a cupcake ATM??? Where can I find one??
So awesome! I love maroon 5 one of the best groups ever. Thanks you so much for sharing this awesome post and photos :D
Last concert was Madonna, i always promised my wife that i would take her.. The performance was OK, we wanted to hear the old stuff.
Ah I would’ve loved to go to a Maroon 5 concert! We also have a Sprinkles cupcake store/dispenser in Chicago which is where I’m from! Looks like you had a great trip!
Maroon 5 and Cheesecake Factory? Two of the things I love! So jealous! We don’t have Cheesecake Factory here too!
You’re so lucky, you must have had such a great time at the Maroon 5 concert!
A CUPCAKE ATM?! That is sooo cool. Btw, love Adam Levine :) He’s my guilty pleasure.
Oh lucky lucky you to go to a Maroon 5 concert! I totally love their songs! Maybe I’ll go when they play in my area. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been to Dallas once and would love to go back. It seems like such a fun city.
Did you say a Cupcake ATM? How cool is that!!
It looks like you’ve had so much fun! I have never gone to a concert before but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do.
I can’t even remember the last time I went to a concert! It’s definitely years back… I miss them! Was lots of fun especially with friends.
What an exciting trip! My daughter and I watch the voice and we love Adam Levine and Maroon 5. I would love to see them perform live.
Maroon 5 is awesome and a lot of their fans they’re always do to be happy. Very nice videos you both have a lot of fun.
It looks and sounds like you had fun! I always have fun when I see my favorite musicians in concert. My last concert was Blue October, and they’re so phenomenal live! I’m hoping that my next concert will be Lana Del Rey. Love, love, love her music. :)
A cupcake ATM, lol. That’s fun. I watched a couple of the clips, love love love the sound on “She Will Be Loved.” I really like Maroon 5.
Maroon 5 is my favorite US band EVER! I’ve loved them since I was 12 so umm… almost 15 years now! I saw them in concert two years ago, it was amazing.
Looks like you had an amazing time indeed. I would love to go to one of their concerts. I have never seen a cupcake ATM before but I am kind of glad we don’t have anything like that here because I would be using to much. lol . Thanks for sharing.
OMG I love, love, love Adam Levine! Looks like you had an amazing time – lots of fun. Thanks for sharing and for the awesome videos.
Oh yea those beer prices sound familiar! Ack! I feel like I pay $11 for a giant Bud Light… but oh so worth it. LOL
I love Maroon 5 and would have loved to attend the concert too. I’m glad you had a great time … and yes, they gouge you at concerts on those t-shirts and drinks. ;-)
Hi! I popped over here from pinterest (looking for posts about categories/tags since I just transferred over from blogger to WP), and then I got hooked looking around. I especially perked up when I saw a tag for Maroon 5. I used to be obsessed with them (in the non-stalker way). I’ve seen them a half dozen times, so this post led me on a walk down memory lane! Also, $40 for a shirt? Hot damn, that price went up a bit from the last time (many, many years ago) that I saw them!
