pardon my language (part deux)

   I'm reposting this from this morning. I took it down for a bit but am putting it back up with watermarked photos (even though you can find the unmarked photos EVERYWHERE :)

But the past 72 hours have blown my fucking mind.

Seriously.

I don't even know how to begin to explain the fantastical-ness of the Mayercraft Carrier. The reality is that there's no way I can explain to you how beyond rad the whole experience was. From boarding and wandering the ship and finding our room to debarking this morning at dark thirty (yeah, it's a time, look it up). A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

On the drive home from Providence tonight my Mom asked me what my favorite part of the whole trip was. The dolphin experience was fab. The prom was pretty rockin'. The food was delish. The weather was perfect (who cares that I'm as red as a lobsta right now). Watching the Superbowl on a screen that's bigger than my freaking house was pretty sweet. But I'm gonna have to say that the time span of about 10AM-4PM Sunday takes the cake. As we were walking back to our room to drop the camera off so we could jump in the hot tub, our friend Erin's friends start yelling my name and tell us to head up to the top deck ... one deck above where John "I'm So Hot With My Shirt Off" Mayer is sunbathing with Sherrod Small and a few people from his crew. When we got up there (after running just a little bit :) we were the only ones hanging out, besides Erin. So cool! We ended up staying for about two hours. John and Sherrod waved directly at me and I'm pretty sure that Sherrod was commenting to John about my paparazzi-ish lens that I was using to document the whole event. John rubbed Sherrod down with suntan lotion in a very sexual manner that had the newly formed crowd up on the 11th deck laughing up a storm. And then it happened. Someone brought up a wad of bright green fabric, which turned out to be a replica of the bathing suit/man thong that Borat wears in the movie. Un-freaking-real. So we're all hooting and hollering and egging him on, and.... he puts on the effing suit. Yes, folks, I witnessed John Mayer in a man thong. It pretty much made my life. He came back upstairs with a wrap around his waist, proceeded to drop the wrap and start posing like he was gonna be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuits Edition. Then he decided that it would be a sweet idea to take a lap around the deck ... jogging ... in the man thong. Priceless. I'm still laughing about it. No lie.

After the man thong incident, I went to the Q&A Session for fan club members where a tipsy Mayer answered questions from fans for about an hour. I video taped some of it, but then my battery died :( I got some good photos though. It was so cool to listen to his answers, and the questions that were asked were really interesting.

Then, as if it couldn't get any better, we went to the show on the Lido Deck from 3-4. (Dear Jayne, maybe John can play on our lido deck. I'll get on that.) We met up with another friend we made who had a killer spot on the deck that she had been holding since six in the morning! Hello zoom lens. Hello tipsy John Mayer who informs us that "he's gonna take a break at some point during the set because I'm gonna have to take a piss." HA! And he did. I got super fantastical shots at this show, and Mom video taped the whole thing. I'm so excited to go watch it before I finally make it to bed tonight. Seriously, the show was probably the best one I've been to even though it was only an hour long. Just the atmosphere of being on the deck of a cruise boat with John Mayer pla ying not even 10 yards infront of me was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Oh, and not to mention the two buckets of ice cold Bud Lights that I purchased before the show started. Yeah, they rocked too.

I should probably head to bed, seeing as how I've been up for nearly 24 hours straight and didn't really get much sleep at all this weekend. I just wanted to let everyone know I made it home. And for your viewing pleasure, a handful of pictures from Sunday. If you find men in bright green satchel protectors offensive, I advise you leave now :)

Thanks for sharing that cracked my ass up! Enjoy the ride while you can! :)

Yay for you! I'm a huge, huge JM fan as well so I'm loving to read about your experience...I can just imagine the high you must have been on and are still on.
Great photos, great experience, thanks for sharing. I feel like I've learned more about JM in, uh, just one photo alone. :D

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

so. i'm totally thinking john mayer needs to do a remix of *the thong song*.

thanks ENTIRELY to YOUR photos (that countless other outless have swiped from YOUR blog WITHOUT PERMISSION.

p.s. favorite!!

Please tell me that was a planned publicity stunt. Who takes a "MAN THONG" on a cruise with them??? I hope you are getting credit for your professional PHOTOG work. It will look nice on your resume!!!

That. Is. Awesome!

P.S. Be sure to get some $$ from US Weelky for those fabulous photos.

TMZ should be contacting you!!! These pics are hilarious. I thought I posted last night but guess it didn't go through. Looks like you had a blast and good think JM seems to have a great sense of humor. Butt looks GOOD!

BTW- Happy Birthday!

Wow, John. I always thought you were kinda cute but lacked something veryyy important. Guess what? I was RIGHT!!! Lol

Thank you for sharing your story and most of all for sharing those pictures. Goodness! The whole concept of putting on something as silly as that thong is just brilliant! He's at a point where he's very sure of his body and not afraid to laugh at himself. It's such a good quality to have! For that I admire him and have a new-found respect for him. And these pictures would work great on the cover of any magazine! Interview, Rolling Stone, Out, Sports Illustrated… you name it! I'd buy it with one of these shots on the cover! The "thumbs-up" shot is priceless!

Erin! holy cow now you are famous too!!!!! great photos - and what a FUN time! oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you !!

Hi,

I am e-mailing from Star magazine, we are interested in running one of your photos. Please e-mail me back regarding usage, thanks.

O.M.G.!!!!ERIN You ROCK! These photos are awesome! We knew how great you are, now every one else knows! Whooooohooo!

Next time ask John to try another color...even thou he's still got a freakin' cute butt!

wow you are my hero!!! coolest thing ever.

Oh my Good Lord. Soooooooooo sorry I couldn't go on that cruise - thought about it all weekend. Looks like you had a fabulous time. And you quite obviously love humanity for sharing these scrumptous pictures of the biggest hottie on the planet with us! Thanks so much!

dear erin,

It's official. You are having the BEST WEEK EVER!!!! I love those photos and you don't even have my favorite one up...so awesome!

dude. hahahahaha! you were right! everyone stole your pics real quick! give em hell!

Bananatastic.

I met him in Hollywood as he was leaving a DRAG BAR! I was a driver for a string of limo's picking up some real stars on the strip. HE IS A NUT!

He drinks too darn much and spits all over you when he talks.We had sex twice over about a weeks time and honestly my prom date, when I was 18, was better. He kept telling me I had fake "t*ts", NOT TRUE! I guess it makes him feel better for his shortcomings.OK, HE WAS FUNNY!

hahaha, erin, i think it is true that you MAY ACTUALLY be on "best week ever" this week. hilarious photos. never knew john mayer had such a sense of humor! nicely done.

Oh Erin.. That was lovely with my morning cup of coffee. Congrats for making the Cape Cod Times Friday edition.
