I was just thinking the same thing!! I got soo excited when I saw that, but I have to work :( boo. Maybe she will add a performance to another state close by and I can drive there. Vanessa, if you're reading, go to Baltimore after NC because I will be there on Wednesday! (prayer falling on deaf ears..) hehe :)

Too bad it's not 2-3 days earlier. I would have been in Miami (same coast at least). Katia and I set sail on Cayamo on the 13th :( But we'll be having our own fun I guess.  ;)

I am looking into going since I have some notice I may be able to take off work. 
I may sound like a broken record but did anyone else notice that this concert is taking place on THE CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR, which just so happens is the year of the rabbit...someone HAS to go!

lol, I don't even recognize Valentines day as holiday anymore.  My husband and I don't celebrate. We take every day to appreciate and love one another!
ANYWAY.  IF I can get someone to switch with me on Sunday, and cover four hours of my shift on Tuesday, I can basically drive, sleep, go to the concert, drive back home (13+ hours each way) sleep, then go back to work. Do you think it's worth it?? I DO!

Now I have something to look forward to for the Valentine's Day. (:

I hope there'd be news from her regarding the album. We need a solid statement....

And new song. (Or at least a clearer version of Carousel & Fair-Weather Friends)

To those of you who make it; I hope you have a wonderful time (I'm certain you will).

I would love her to come play a show over here (Michelle Branch did that last year and her fanbase is as big as V's over here (i.e. not very big). So if she can pull it off, I'm sure V could). Sadly, I don't think it will happen and the only way I'll get to see Vanessa live is by flying to wherever it is she's playing ... but I'll need more time than what she gives us!

If it does work out, I'm going to try very hard to get good video/audio.  THe only thing I'll need help with is how to get it on the computer/internet where people can listen to it.  I have a Flip recorder and a camcorder that takes little dvds.  The flip only records 1 hour of video, so I figure I will use the camcorder for the most part, but when needing to switch dvds (also only an hour), I switch to the flip so I don't miss ANY audio, singing, talking or other.  It will be hard and the video might not be perfect but we can at least extract the audio?  My plan is to get there as early as possible to get a good seat, I've already staked out the school/theater so I have a good idea of where to go that way I don't get lost and waste time!  I have the four hours covered, so keep your fingers crossed that the other person will switch shifts with me!  I know I am already planning things in my head...

That would be awesome. I'm sure we have a few people on here who would be willing to try and help out if/when that situation arises.

If you wait around afterwards, you have a very good chance of meeting the lady herself, too! ;)

Good luck. Fingers crossed you can sort everything out.

here's a little article...

http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20110131/ENT/110131043

CULLOWHEE - Here’s a Valentine date that won’t break the bank – pop singer and pianist Vanessa Carlton is doing a free show at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Hinds Center Grandroom at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.

The singer was picked for the show in a poll of WCU students. The concert was originally scheduled for Jan. 10, but scratched due to snow. The Valentine’s timing just makes the show even sweeter

.

Carlton is best known for the hit “A Thousand Miles,” one of the biggest hits of 2002. It earned Grammy nominations for "Record of the Year", "Song of the Year" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist and the tune also became extremely popular with U.S. troops in Iraq. For more on the show, call 227-7206

thanks so much! I think all the positivity and good vibes really helped!  I think that is one reason why I realllly wanted to go..I have a feeling we will get some information.  What do you all think about recording the performance? My husband seems to think I won't be allowed to bring anything in with me.  I will sneak something in if I have to!  That just means I won't be able to get all the stuff I wanted to

A Thousand Miles
Heroes and Thieves

even if cameras or recording devices aren't allowed. still bring one anyway. trust me, you can and will be able to sneak it in, and you'll be fine. especially because it's a free show.

any and all recordings you get (even if they turn out super-shitty) will be greatly appreciated =)
like super ultimate ultra appreciated ^_^

don't worry about it, just do it ;)

oh most definately!  I have a flip, it will fit in my bra if all else fails.  ;D  but I plan on trying to bring my camcorder and my digital camera, which also takes video.  I plan on getting there early, like 5 or so, doors open at 7, so that I can get a good spot.  where do you recommend?  I just thought as close to her as possible!

I agree. As close as possible, so your recording won't be disturbed by unnecessary noise from the crowd.

And if you manage to record her hands on the piano, that'd be a plus on me in making transcriptions for any new songs. But really, having a recordings would make me already thankful. (:

That is fantastic you get to go. Have a wonderful time and don't be so worried about getting audio or video, pictures, etc. It doesn't always work out. And you all shouldn't be so pushy or demanding. She will do her best. Those things are all great but you enjoy the show. As someone who is the one who is always recording, it can be distracting and at times you can be so focused on recording to enjoy it. Well, me not so much as I am a pro ;) but I know everyone is counting on you and I just wanted to say have fun. No pressure.

I also hope you get to say hello. She is always so very sweet and she needs to be reminded that you/we are all excited and here to support her at Nh.com. Well, she knows this but yeah...

Enjoy the show! :)

Thanks for the advice!  I'm not pushy, quite shy actually and very nervous about ever meeting her (inadequacy issues if you have read the dreams thread), so I'm not worried about being "demanding" for a pic with her or an autograph.  Of course, I've thought about it (getting one, not being pushy), but I'm not very smooth in social situations! LoL!  If I have a chance, I will let her know we are all excited, making guesses about the album and that we support her 100%!

I think you misread my post. I meant that the board members at Nh.com can be pushy and demanding about YOU getting videos and pics and then how long it takes you to upload them. I know it's because we're all excited but still it's annoying. Anyway. I am sure if you get to meet her you'll be fine. :)

OH! Gotchya.  I wasn't getting defensive though.  I didn't take it as if you were being mean or anything! I know that posts are sometimes half of how you interpret them.  I am going to try to bring my laptop with me but it's the only computer in our household, so I'll have to make sure it's ok! I reallllly want to get video for my own sake too, and I really do want to be able to contribute to our collection.

Although I'm not going, I'm so excited.  I'm looking forward to any tidbit of news about the album (other than what we already know).  I think I'll save the rest of the songs for when it's released.

Whoever's going--have fun!

Is anyone else completely jealous of this girl??? A "closet" fan gets to dine with her??  If my skin could change colors it would be green. Well, at least I get to be there for the concert.  Only a mere hours until I'm up in the air on my way.  I got some new discs today for my camcorder and my bags are packed!  I will keep you all updated on any info I can get.

I know how you feel! I was freaking out before my first Vanessa concert as well. Wait until you're actually there and are waiting for her to come out - absolutely nerve-wracking! I think I spent the entirety of the show in complete and utter shock over the fact that I was inches away from Vanessa Carlton, which, in retrospect, didn't really do me any good. I also remember that my obsession with documenting the entire show via pictures and video deprived me of completely mentally-absorbing her performance - if that makes any sense. My point is, relax - and have fun!

Even though it's not my first time it seems like it because it's been soooooo long and I don't think I realized at the time how amazing it was (admittedly, I was stoned..I was 17, whattya want?)  It is going to have more significance for me this time around.  All my equipment is charging now for recording.  I hope I can focus enough to enjoy and live in the moment as well as get some good video (and I will not be stoned this time).  I think the hardest thing is going to be NOT signing along. Trust me, you all do NOT want to hear that. hehe

The most important thing is that you have a great time and really soak up the music  :) and hopefully we might get some album news from her.

If you do get to meet her, wow can you imagine that, be sure to tell her that she has many fans over here in Europe also  :)

I agree with what everyone is saying. The first time I saw her I was more concerned with like actually me being there and trying to take pictures or remember what she was saying, I don't think I got the best soaking in of live music that I could have. Second time around I didn't do nothing other than just listen to it, it was amazing.
