hey hey! oh my gosh the weekend has almost passed us by – i swear two days is never enough before heading back to the daily weekday grind! just last night my darling gwen stefani kicked off her ‘sweet escape’ tour in las vegas and popbytes reader turned friend zach was fortunate enough to be there! (he totally hearts gwen more than anyone else i know – including myself!) he sent me a few pics he was able to snap from his amazing seats and he even spotted paris hilton who was there with her boytoy josh henderson (i guess james blunt was busy with someone else last night…) anyways the setlist is also posted below the pictures with a little commentary from mr. zach! i’m so bummed that i haven’t secured tickets yet for her upcoming shows in los angeles & santa barbara but i’m on prowl now – the show sounds awesome! popbytes over & out for now…xxoo!

8. fluorescent (so good!)
9. danger zone
10. hollaback girl
11. now that you got it (ends the song with a “reggae remix” of the song…which is way better than the original, and shouts out the boys from no doubt who are in the audience, for that part)
12. dont get it twisted/breakin up
13. cool
14. wonderful life (gwen says this song is a left over from lamb and the reason she did a second album)
15. orange county girl (gwen says “i love this fucking song” before she starts it, paris hilton applies make-up during the whole song)
