    And I have a lot more from her show posted on my Nickelodeon Blog for those interested.

    Of course, the Anaheim House of Blues is convently located in the downtown Disney district so before the show I went to check out the construction progress at DCA.

    The Carthay Circle Theater is looking great peaking above the construction walls.

    The Theater stands 89’6″ – that’s taller than Disneyland’s 77′ tall Sleeping Beauty Castle!

    The trees are seriously obscuring the view into cars land, which looks to be coming together nicely.

    Also of note, Grizzly River Run was drained for repairs and maintance.

    I’m also looking forward to the new Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop, between that and the Boudin Bakery I’ll never have to go to Sab Francisco ever again! LOL

  • My Emily Osment Concert in Anaheim (Part 2)

    As I said in part one, I saw Emily Osment with opening act Allstar Weekend at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Sunday March 25th 2010.

    I don’t follow Allstar Weekend, but I did find it funny that they decided to covers Justin Bieber’s single “Baby.”

    Emily preformed a total of 12 songs in a 50 minute set. Those songs where,

    You Are The Only One

    (I didn’t use my camera’s zoom on this first video, but I did on the rest below)

    The Cycle

    Found Out About You

    One Of Those Days

    What About Me

    Fight or Flight

    Average Girl

    High and Dry

    Truth or Dare

    I Hate The Homecoming Queen

    1 800 Clap Your Hands

    All The Way Up

    I’m still struck by just how amazing she was. <3

    Before I end this post, I wanted to share one more photo from the show. This pic was taken by the professional tour photographer that you can see running around in some of my videos. 🙂

  • My Emily Osment Concert at the House of Blues Anaheim

    I was supposed to see Emily Osment at her show on March 7, 2010 but it was rescheduled. So I had to wait a little bit longer than I wanted, but it was worth the wait.

    I saw Emily play the House of Blues in Anaheim yesterday (04/25/10)

    Anaheim House of Blues

    She had Allstar Weekend with her as her opening act.

    Allstar Weekend is preparing for their debut album to come out later this year, and they where okay. For a boy band. LOL

    A lot of the girls there actually seemed a lot more excited to see the guys than they where to see Emily. As J pointed out, they must find them cute.

    Personally, I’d much rather look at Emily. (Even if she’s wearing more than just a bikini.)

    Emily preformed all six songs from her EP, a cover of Radiohead’s “High and Dry,” and five new songs from her upcoming album.

    She did am amazing job. She seems a lot more comfortable on stage and has improved all around since the last time I saw her preform.

    I really enjoyed her new songs as well. One called “Truth or Dare” is a very powerful high-energy song. Another called “1 800 Clap Your Hands” has a great indy feel to it. And the recently leaked online “One Of Those Days” is a very well written song as well.

    Videos will take some time to sort through and upload. Look for those to be posted Tuesday or Wednesday. And if you’re wondering why I tagged the pics this time, it’s because I’m still pissed at Oceanup for taking my last set of pics without crediting me.
