Wyclef!

AMAZING CONCERT!

It is really hard to say anything negative about a concert that I still feel like is going on almost a month later.  Yes this post is a bit outdated, but I just couldn't stop from writing about its awesomeness!

Everyone had the most amazing time at the show and Wyclef was incredible.

The day of the show was filled with setting up the stage and making sure all the last minute details were set.  I got to actually go with Alex and Owen to the airport to pick Wyclef up, he flew in around 3pm.  I was nervous that I would get star-struck but I think I kept my cool... ;-)

Alex and I drove Wyclef and one of his bodyguards to get some food then we dropped them off at the hotel.  We were pretty giddy after that... the concert seemed so much more real!  We headed back to SMC and got back to work in the gym. 

Around 7:30 (concert started at 8... Wyclef on at 9) Alex and I headed back to the hotel to pick up Wyclef and a few people who were left there.  We didn't end up leaving the hotel with Wyclef (who actually introduced himself as 'Clef) until about 8:45... no joke.  We literally pulled up to Ross, got out of the hot SUV we were driving around, and Wyclef walked on stage.  Right before he went on Colin and Steve got to introduce him... so awesome!  Wyclef had this red jacket on that just screamed "I'm a star."

He seriously put on the best show I think I have ever seen in my life.  And I had a great view, our E-Board stood ON STAGE to watch the concert, in the back left corner.  Wyclef did Sweetest Girl twice, one on stage and the other he actually went into the crowd.  That was pretty cool to watch, his body guard ("Beast") was just pushing people out of the way as Wyclef went through. 

The last song he did was "Carnival" from his new album.  He actually had us all go in the front of the stage and just dance and sing.  He also had everyone swing their shirts above their head (good thing I had two on!) and he brought the lights up.  It really looked like a carnival, it was amazing.

After the show I got my t-shirt autographed... yay! 

Then we had to clean up... BOOOOO!  Everything had to be torn down because the next day was a HUGE accepted student day at SMC.  (And ps I had to give the speech at 11am)  We were in the gym with other SA reps until roughly 2:30am cleaning up and clearing out.  So what else was there to do besides go to Denny's and celebrate on a successful concert afterward? 

Simply amaaaazing.  I hope I get to see him in concert again one day!
