I'M SO GLAD TO BE BACK... BUT VACATION WAS GREAT!

I feel so lucky that when I get back from vacation that I actually look forward to coming back to

work... I missed being on air last week! I had a blast on Hilton Head Island with my family and friends... we rented a big house which had a pool and was right next to the beach. Got some much needed R & R and got to visit with both of my brothers who are living there for the summer.

Returned on Saturday afternoon and got right back into the action with the 3rd Eye Blind Show at the HOB on Saturday night... what a great show AND great time! A whole crew of us were hangin' at the show including Skippy the PD, Allan Fee and Lethargic Mark. You can see pix on the Wilde and Fee page on Q104.com here: http://www.q104.com/pages/186469.php

Here's some fun pix from my vacation:This is the whole crew... can you believe we all stayed in the same house for an entire week and didn't kill each other? The house was so huge and amazing... plenty of space to accomodate everyone (phew!)... Here's the outside of the place that we stayed... had to show this pic because of the little mini "crab shack" you can see here in the background... it was our own outdoor bar! Huge grill, fridge, sink... we spent nearly every night hangin out here...

This is me with my brothers Jonny and Joey comparing our height difference... um, yeah, these are the dumb things we do on vacation to have fun...
Coolest bowl of soup I've ever seen. It was called the Painted Desert Soup at a restaurant called Sante Fe (you should go there if you ever go to Hilton Head! Delicious!)... Had to take a pic because it was possibly the most artistic soup I've ever seen.
This is the whole fam having dinner...
Me and my best friend Jason at Shelter Cove... interesting statue and pose...
Me and my bros again...

YOUR NEW FAVORITE ARTIST...

... is Matt White! Here's what's great about him... the music is fantastic, lyrical, catchy... you've heard it in many movies and on many TV shows including "Because I Said So...", "She's The Man", "What About Brian?", "One Tree Hill"... the list goes on and on... but he's so down to earth! Great personality and willing to talk to any and everyone. He came by the studio this morning to play a few songs acoustically for the staff and he nailed it. I think we're all in love with him AND his music! Don't take my word for it... check out his myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/mattwhitemusic

Oh, and he's coming to the Cambridge Room at the House of Blues on 7/24... get out and see Matt! Here's some pix:Here I am attempting to strum the guitar... It's Glenn the funny song Man!
Robbie Kruz and Matt!! Who has better hair???

It's Skippy the PD presenting Matt with some snacks for his travels!
Producer Nick strikes a pose... he's got the rock star look...

It's Rebecca Wilde, oh yeah, she's wild... Brian Conroy does his best Chris Daughtry impersonation while posing with Matt...

Ummm... so after I got home from the Nickelback/Staind/Daughtry show I excitedly uploaded my pix to my computer and realized I am a picture slacker! I swear we took about a gazillion pix throughout the night... however, I guess only 3 were on my camera! I'm guessing Mr. Allan Fee has the most, second to Rob Kruz who I believe had his camera out quite a bit... so their blogs will rock!

Thank you to EVERYONE who stopped by and said hi at the Q104 tent! SO MANY PEOPLE! It was great to meet everyone in person!!! Even though I think every single one of us were quite hot and sweaty... it certainly was WARM! But that didn't stop us from having fun!!

In the meantime... here's my pix...

JOHN MAYER MEET & GREET

I admit it. I was nervous to meet John Mayer. There's just something about him... when you actually do some research on the guy it turns out he's quite intelligent. Read his blog for example... the humor is different, well thought out. He cares about the environment. He's not oblivious to what's going on in the world even though I'm sure it would be easy for him not to pay attention. He doesn't ignore. And damn, he's a talented musician. Just watching him play the guitar is unbelieveable! In a nutshell, really super-smart people like that make me nervous. Probably because I want to be up to their "witty/smart" standards... so it never fails I say or do something stupid.

For example, we were allowed to have John sign one thing for us, I had a publicity photo that the label gave to us... and I asked him to sign it "Jen, you're way hotter than 'you know who.' Love - John" He sure didn't like that idea... but he was playful about it (phew) and I never really did say who 'you know who' is... so it's not like I specifically referred to anyone that may or may not be currently in his life. As a matter of fact, I was referring to my friend Rachel. Yep, that's it. I'm way hotter than Rachel.

Bottom line: John Mayer is hot and as witty as you could imagine. The pix speak for themselves... and oh, he did sign my photo "Jen, I like you. John Mayer 07" That'll do just fine...

JOHN MAYER CONCERT!

GREAT show at Blossom last night! We got to go to the MEET & GREET with John Mayer himself! And yes, he's as yummy as you could imagine... they had a staff photographer that took all of the pix (we weren't allowed to bring our own cameras in to that part) so I'll have the photo with John Mayer posted as soon as I get it! (they told me within 24 hours... can't wait!) Above, 2 of my new Q104 listener friends... members of the John Mayer fan club!
Hangin' in the Coors Light Lounge at Blossom...
This is Andy... he's the record rep for John Mayer! He coordinates all of the fun stuff like the meet & greets with John... he's super fun and even told me that John Mayer is a runner and earlier that day he was jogging around and slapped him a high five as he ran by... too cool... could you imagine John Mayer high fiving you and knowing you by name?!?!?! ANDY I'M JEALOUS!

Right when you walk into Blossom... Q104 WELCOMES YOU!

HERE SHE IS! RACHEL (in the middle) and her sis Sara (left)... Rachel was the Grand Prize winner! Got to meet John Mayer AND SIT FRONT ROW FOR THE SHOW!!!!!!!! Yes, those are the ACTUAL front row tix she's holding in her hand... (yea, I was jealous...)
Here we are again on the "red carpet" walking into the Coors Light Lounge...
It's the Q CREW! Workin hard and havin' some fun at the show... by the way, the weather for this show was perfect! Sunshine when we got there, cool breeze throughout the night... flip flops, jeans and a sweatshirt... now that's my kinda night...
