So what an amazing nite tonite was.  It was one of the most lively crowds i have EVER seen at a Vanessa show.  The setlist to the best of my remembering was (and this is not in any particular order)


Papa
San Fransisco
Ordinary Day
Private Radio
Annie
Who's To Say
C'est la Vie
Swindler
Afterglow
Rinse
White Houses
She Floats
Wanted
Morning Sting
Half A Week Before The Winter (Let the unicorns live)
A Thousand Miles

Twilight

The crowd really got into it when she played White Houses.  Everyone rushed to the front it was like a mob, then a song or two later it died down to people kneeling and squatting to watch the show from up front.  Cause yea the Retardo Center has a stupid seating arrangement that makes no sense, but anyways, back to the show.  Vanessa explained a lot of the songs in good detail, such as Rinse is about girls stalking guys, and Annie is about a girl named Victoria who was dying of cancer.......but has now gotten better and will live a good life.  Also Vanessa was explaing her fantasy's of Vampires from when she was 4 years old and further explained how the music industry is ruff and like vampires and the good people are like unicorns and that the unicorns should live!!!!! She also said that Who's to Say is about  Relationships not approved of by your mother or the government.  Then there was the Wanted story again, this time a little more amusing but still good.  Overall it was a great show.
Let, Nicole, Katia, Brian, Dan and I were all together and waited for Vanessa afterwards.......now here is where the real fun begins........so we're all waiting for V and she comes out and this preteen whatever youcallthem girls go running up to her and so the 5 of us go up slowly and then like a crowd of like 20 people are all around.  Mark tells everyone to get in one line, and V signs everyone's autograph and even poses for pictures........that is till the sprinklers turned on.....so we all moved over to the other side and then the other set of sprinklers turned on so we finally then went over to a dry spot and V finished signing her autographs and takign photo's and said see you all tomorrow in Atlantic City or somethign like that i forget, but she was very very very nice.

One note. You were allowed to bring camera's in with flash.  I took abotu 50 or so pictures maybe less.  I will try to post them up as soon as I can.

Awesome pics!  :)  The show was terrific but those people who ran up during White Houses pissed me off, like 2 songs I couln't see so I went up and kneeled in the front. I was wearing a gray shirt, jeans and had on glasses, don't know if anyone saw me but I was singing my brains out. I got a few pictures from the show. :-)

She also played 'Along For The Ride' but she named it something else, forgot what she called it.  :wink:

the show was definately awesome.  our seats turned out to be in the perfect spot.  

Meeting Nicole, Katia, Let, Dan, and Mike (again) was very cool as well.  

Mike's description of the show was perfect, except he forgot to mention that Liz was with us as well.  :wink:  

Vanessa was very nice to us all.


Pictures coming later today. (I hope they came out good)

It was really strange but cool when all those girls rushed the stage and started dancing and singing. Good thing there was a barrier cause I think they scared Vanessa a little at first.

I was glad Vanessa had a little break before this show cause like Mike said she did "Morning Sting" "Annie" and "Private Radio." She sounded great.

We were really glad that despite the cold and sprinklers Vanessa walked over and took the time to greet everyone.

due to my cheap ass camera, a lot of the pics from the actual concert looked like crap...however here are some shots before and after the show.

Lizzie and I before the show started in the front row.

V and her sound dude Mark, with Mike standing off to the side.

V with a soon to be ballet student.  I have no idea who that kid is, but Liz felt the need to take a lot of pictures.   :D

Lizzie, myself and V.  Very cool moment as it was the first time we've gotten our picture taken with her.

I discovered that part of the conversation went as follows:

dude to security: "You're a bunch of assholes"
katia: "No YOU'RE an asshole!"
dude to me: "Shut Up!"

(really mature... i know)

Then a lady a bit later was talking to these other people and was like "This is bullshit" and i was like "no, you're bullshit!"  which was also pretty amusing :)

Brian I remember seeing you there! your face kept popping up occasionally when I looked in some random spot or whatever and I was like "hmmm what could the significance be..." oh man that was awesome meeting her afterwards, as soon as she was done signing my ticket the sprinklers went off...i got lucky.
