Title: Vanessa at National Train Day!
Post by: KeyboardGuy90 on May 05, 2009, 10:02:22 am

Hi!!! Not sure if this has been posted already, but I heard about this on the radio and immediately thought of y'all, so here's the website:

Well, at least she's playing another concert, right? :)



Edit: Just realized I'm in the wrong area... forgive me? ;) This should probably be in Live Shows.

so, she's playing at the train station? i'm confused. i definitely could have gone to this if it had been announced like, a day earlier.

Thank you so much for posting the info, KeyboardGuy90.  I never would have heard about this otherwise.  I managed to get the day off from work so I can go  :)

Union Station is a pretty big place, with a number of different floors, including one for the train and subway platforms, one for shopping, and a whole floor just for a giant eatery.  It's a historic/tourist site as well as a train station.  My guess is she'll be playing in the lobby area (well away and upstairs from the actual train platforms.)  I have my fingers crossed that I can get some good pictures and a decent recording.

Now, I didn't get there until after she had started (I blame the red line), but here's what I saw:

A Thousand Miles
Who's To Say
Heroes and Thieves
Half a Week Before the Winter

My friend snapped some really good ones... I'm waiting for her to send them to me, but after that they're all yours. ;)
