I know it's irrelevant, but I just remembered a certain line in Nolita Fairytale: "Can't drag me to the fashion show, with poses that I see through"

Not me, but I just want to ask whether you're allowed to bring recording devices?

If there wasn't traffic on the way to the city and back, I would totally go. Unfortunately, I don't think my dad, mom, sister, or uncle would be very willing to drive me there and have to sit in the Lincoln Tunnel. :-\ It only makes me wish that 1) I had liberal parents so that I can go out whenever I wanted to (provided I followed a curfew) and furthermore 2) that I had my license and not my learner's permit (either way, it's an 11 PM curfew now, or is it still midnight... Screw NJ). T-T

Whoever goes, record, please? :D

should've started a review thread, my bad.

hey guys, i was there! i was early and caught vanessa arriving. i was too shy to say hi to her, though, but i got to pet lord victor! what a cutie, he came right up to my shoes and was snuffling around my feet.

anyway, the spring 2011 date was mentioned again (not by vanessa, but not contradicted by vanessa either) and it was really really lovely. vanessa's fine-tuned a lot of her new songs, lots of little lyrical and musical changes. she sounded great - her voice was less crackly tonight - and i don't know, somehow her voice is sweeter. like, the angrier notes in "fair weather friends" sound more wistful now to me. her songs sound more finished, too.

short setlist, and here's what i can remember (basically all new songs + "a thousand miles")

1. fair weather friends
2. tall tales for spring ("this song is for stephen hawking")
3. london
4. i don't want to be a bride
5. a thousand miles

i've recorded the whole thing, but the quality is not great because the crowd was SO NOISY. it's also in WAV format and i have to cut it.
