Date Night - Donovans & RHCP

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are Devin's favorite band. In fact, I was able to surprise him with tickets back in 2006 when they came to Phoenix for their Stadium Arcadium tour. We were both really excited for them to come out with another album after 6 years because we knew that they'd come on tour again. I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale and was starting to count down the days to their March concert. We then found out that it had been postponed to September. Not cool people. We waited an extra 6 months, but it was definitely worth it.
On concert day, we made it a date night. Devin got a gift card to Donovan's from work so we went there for dinner. Complimentary valet, VIP table seating, bread, caesar salad, mac&cheese, filet mignon, garlic potatoes, fresh veggies. It was delicious. After dinner, we headed to Jobing.com Arena. The Chili Peppers were great. They only played a few of their new songs and focused a lot on their classic hits. Devin was pumped to hear Suck My Kiss, Under the Bridge, and Throw Away Your Television. I was happy to hear By The Way, Wet Sand, and Higher Ground. Let's hope we don't have to wait another 6 years to see them in concert again.
