Jason Mraz’s Mragical Show at Jones Beach! (Plus Bushwalla Hulas!)

Goooooood Morning SuperForest,

Last Friday I went to see Jason Mraz play at Jones Beach.

Since I’d never before seen him play live, I was very excited. For the majority of the show, I sat next to the soundboard, which is situated dead center of the audience.

Here’s my view:

I was totally enjoying the show when a nice security guard told me that I had to move for a moment. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the reason we were moved was because Jason was going to do a few encore songs exactly where I had just been sitting, which changed my view to this:

That’s a bit more interesting, no? A bit closer to the action.

Jason was halfway through an amazing cover of “Wanna be Startin’ Something” when I remembered that I had my flip in my pocket!

I quickly shot this:

Sweet! Jason and his amazing percussionist then walked back to the main stage.

As the last song played, I looked behind me, and who was there? Billy Bushwalla, hula-ing a hoop for all it was worth.

A fabulous night with fabulous music by fabulous people.
Cheers to Jason the Good and True, Bushwalla the Brave, and the fabulous SuperForester Bill Silva, who is a great friend.

Much love, gents!
