Feelin Hella Good

We went to see No Doubt the night before I left for Maui with my tweeps @allensalamanca, @christinacosta & @jrummerfield.

I heart Gwen Stefani. Her adorable voice. Her look. Her extreme girly & tomboyishness. Her perfume. I sound like I'm 16, right? If I still had my Trapper Keeper I'd have little Harajuku stickers all over it. So what?

My blondies on the way to the concert.

Jaime looks like the lead singer of the Ting Tings.

Here are my peeps in the green room at Jimmy Kimmel.

We saw Kingston running around backstage. He was precious.

What we came for!

Gwen rocked the house.

So did her ex-bf Tony Kanal.

Before recording It's My Life, Gwen told the crowd how much she loved it. She recorded it twice to have the perfect result, so it's obviously dear to her heart. :)

Groovin to our girl.

They wrapped up the night with some ska OC style. Yeah!

Personal Jesus

I had a religious experience last night. I'm not a big concert fan because most concertgoers are too cool for school, standing around and acting bored. I'm the person that wants to dance and clap and sing along, but I don't want to be the only one!

I had plenty of company at Depeche Mode's concert in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard. Dave Gahan was strutting around stage with mic stand in hand, feeding off the energy of the crowd. He's mesmerizing to watch.

They played for about 40 minutes, and the video above was their encore. Robert shot it from where we were standing. (He told me afterward it was hard to keep still during Personal Jesus!)

This song wasn't shown on Jimmy Kimmel Live! For the show, they performed their new single, Wrong, which has an insanely creative and disturbing video you can watch here. Personal Jesus ended the show and that's when the audience went wild. The energy onstage and in the crowd was different from anything I've ever seen at a concert. I want more!

FYI, the good stuff on the video starts around 4:30... :)
