"You look amazing in that dress! ...but it would look even better crumpled up on my floor."

This only worked because he was my boyfriend at the time and he was just kidding...mostly expecting me to playfully hit him.

And the next time, it was by a sleezy boy who I wanted to punch for real but just ignored...

She wasn't as animated and humorous as usual (most likely because of the crowd since she couldn't be as non-PC with anti-VH1 and record label rants or swear words) but the audio was excellent!! Her voice was amazing and the piano was incredible. Best audio of any of the 6 concerts I have been to but the least animation by V....

I got the set list from the sound guy that is not named Mark (anyone know his name, long curly hair?) which I will post tomorrow after some sleep.

I have never heard her make any anti-VH1 remarks, just wanted to clear that up.

Sorry! Maybe it is just my humor and the way I phrase things. She has talked about her videos being banned by MTV and VH1 and then after these comments said, "god damn those people!" In a joking way of course! I always loved these kind of comments. I was just meaning that she could not say things like this at a show this large because it is a bit risky if she is quoted and people do not know she is kidding. I can edit my previous post if it makes you think I am misrepresenting her in any way. But I meant the anti-VH1 remarks in a joking sort of way!

I'm guessing the sound guy you got the set list from was Ziggy!  A picture was taken of him at the VA show, is this who gave you the set list?

Yep, that was him! Thanks!!!

Also, i can't wait to see the rest of the pics!  So glad you went and drove all that way and the show was so great -katia

More coming soon including Victor...

Wow! The concert was amazing! There must have been at least 5,000 people, if not more, in this tiny place! Of course it was a free show but it was excellent publicity for V (I do ask, where in the world was the merchandise and CD's? What was she thinking??).

I also took a TON of photos with my Canon 20D and 300mm lens. And they are amazing! It will take several days to process them, but here is a teaser....









You gotta love the bracelet....

NESAHOLICS were there loud and proud tonight and a bunch of others got some video. And we all got to meet her afterwards!!!

Details once sleep is had....well worth the 4.5 hour drive each way!!

If you see the map that I posted on the first page you'll see where the parking garage is and you have to pay $6.
There are also some parkings outside near the plaza but if you get there  late you probably won't find one.

Sorry, I totally forgot to check the map again.  :oops: Thanks a bunch!!!

I'm not sure what time I will get there since I have to drive 4 hours but I will be there. Does anyone know a good place to park? (and directions to the parking lot?) Is it just a free place since it is kind of in a mall? Thanks!!

(I'll be the one with the mega huge camera and lens. haha!)

I can't wait to see the DVD - does anyone know when it comes out?

I also can't wait to see the photos after B fixes the thread haha! I also have an SLR camera (Canon 20D) and pretend to be a professional photographer so I will be getting some good pics of V at the FL concert (crossing fingers that they let me use it!) My photos from the Harmoniumm tour are here: http://www.geocities.com/nessacarltonfan/

I love Who's to Say. I've always thought of it as a gay anthem.

Especially since she says this at her preformances!! "This goes out to those that are in a relationship that is not approved by your mother...or the government." haha!

Is that the most that we have gotten out of vanessa for a mention of the break-up


anyways that more than this thing... i don't want to assume, but does she like someone now?

I acutally got out of it that she was meaning that the boy might not know that what he has in a reationship with the girl was amazing and that he should stop looking for something better. I have NO idea if this is what V and Stephen's relationship was like but I just thought she was insinuating that people should be grateful for what they have instead of always wondering if "the grass is greener on the other side."

OMG! That is insane! I guess there is something to be said about security. I have always been very appreciative to V for not having so much security - I am usually able to bring in my huge Canon 20D with its 300mm lens and take nice photos (knock on wood for my next concert) and people are usually able to bring in audio recorders and cameras with video....awesome for us fans but most artists don't allow this.

I never thought about it, but I guess it can go too far in the other way. I really hope these stupid people don't push V to be more strict with her security and start forbidding cameras and recorders....

Oh, and thanks for the vid. I actually think that in this live version she sang MUCH more on key than on the record and I enjoyed it so much better without the noises that made me want to cring. Why couldn't the take have been better on the CD? Sigh!!!

If I get there earlier than you guys, I can try to hold spots for you if you want.

That would be really nice of you!

I don't have class that day and I have to drive 4 hours to get there, so I am just going to head out early. I could reserve spots too then....Do you all want to sit together? All I Ask, I know you are bringing a huge crowd. I'm by my lonesome because no one else around here wants to go that far to see V with me (my friends just don't know what they are missing!). How many other people are the rest of you going with? I'd like to meet the rest of the Nessa FL crew if you all are up for it....

Edit to my previous post: I won't be able to leave town until around 3ish (I have a meeting I have to go to) so I won't get there til 7 so I won't be able to save a seat for anyone.  :cry:  I'll be taking Ky up on her offer - THANK YOU (PM to come)
