john mayer's iPhone.

the iPhone has graced my presence. except i am unsure of how to make a phone call? i just want to be able to call someone. on my phone. help?

"katz, you just have to think like an iPhone. really logically. what button would you press to make a call?" dillon said.

"i'm double tapping the name. nothing is happening. in order to call you i had to memorize your number and type it in."

"you're ridiculous. just tap the number."

"oh... well what if i don't know how to think like an iPhone?"

"sounds like you're going to be really frustrated for a while."

"great."

went to the sleep train pavilion last night to watch john mayer contort his face and play the blues, among other things. he is absolutely right: he doesn't care what you say and think as long as one day he is known for the way he plays the guitar. not sure if that gives him license to be a jerk (from what i've read/heard), but whatever. his wish is slowly becoming granted... he is a guitar player who happens to be able to sing. and write music that is far too complex for his age (in reference to some of the early stuff).

because he has come so far since "room for squares" (think: "try!") the crowd was not so much of the teeny-bopper fourteen-year-old. it was nice to be surrounded with people who were there not just for his hits but to hear the blues. finally.

love love loved the lawn seating. it was perfect to be with friends and not feel confined to a chair. i mean, i'm sure being able to see the stage would have been nice, but still... the perfect summer night with google in the air wasn't so bad.

ps. i don't think john mayer actually has an iPhone. i think he has a blackberry. bet he regrets that decision. OR he secretly has an iPhone but can't be seen on it. that would suck. (OR he loves his blackberry. doubt it.)

sorry i missed you on the lawn!

john mayer and i are well-acquainted, i don't know if you knew ;) ... and we go back to early 2001. a few things...
-i don't believe him to be a jerk, but he cannot help but say pretty much everything he's thinking, which is usually something wacky and sometimes crass. he is clever though.
-he is a brilliant lyricist, i don't think people really realize that if they just know his radio hits, wouldn't you say? speaking of, i wish he had played less of those last night.
-shoreline is one of my most favorite venues in life... i love the casualness of the lawn seating and last night was perfect, i agree.
-i do think he has a blackberry and actually really loves it, he has some obscure blog not attached to his website (meg told me about it, she's a geek for him too) and he wrote a whole entry about how he got this super high tech blackberry super early and how great it is. almost has me convinced, i'm up for a new phone next month and shopping around...

i love corinne's explanations. hah.

okay, so we had an entire, full blown conversation on John Mayer using a Blackberry last night on the way to Irvine (to see JM, of course). For reals. It all started with the Blackberry lanyards that we had, and I was trying to convince the people in my car that he really did have a Blackberry, and didn't hide an iPhone in his pocket.
