The merch is coming!!!! I swear. Sorry it took so long.
How are you guys? I'm so psyched to go on tour this summer. Especially, looking forward to headlining my own tour in fall. As usual, your letter and tapes and gifts are inciting much giddiness. It is also a pleasure for me when I actually get to meet some of you mysterious web surfers. Big kisses.

Hey!!!!!!
I've honestly not been able to chat. It was bummin' me out. Hey guys. I'm sorry you guys thought I abandoned you. Never. I'm in Alabama right now and I'm so hot. It's literally 90. I doing my show in about two hours. It's just me and my band tonight. It's a great club. I want to thank you guys for making my record gold. I'm giddy. I love my new tour bus. My bunk is so small I love it. I sleep for like twelve hours a night. Don't ask me why I sleep well in small spaces. Missed you guys. We'll talk soon.

peace

« on: May 11, 2002, 12:14:00 pm »

hey,
I actually have the night off tonight! I'm not sure if that's good considering everytime I take a stroll and step off a curb I almost get hit by a car. I swear I've almost died twice.
My dad is here!!! I've missed him. He's out here flying...(he's a pilot). At the moment, he's snoring on the couch in my hotel room. I'm off to Sweden tomorrow. I know it must sound so glamorous, but all I really see is a hotel room and an airplane cabin. I miss the states. I miss my bed. I miss my piano!!! I realized that I haven't mentioned how grateful I am to all of those that went out and bought my record. I hope to provide much listening pleasure for the rest of my life....or atleast until I can't play anymore. Much love.

peace

Hello all,
I'm in Switzerland right now. Excellent chocolate. When I arrived, the breeze smelled of sweet bananas. I have officially found candyland. (my favorite board game) I got hit by jetlag pretty hard a couple of hours ago. I'm going to Amsterdam tonight....(lots of fun to be had). I laughed so hard reading some of your messages today. I'll try to check in more often. I read your messages whenever I can. Although I don't know any of you personally I sometimes feel as if I do. Much love and thanks for the words. Enjoy the album....it's all yours.

Official Vanessa Carlton Posts / whirlwind week....

« on: May 04, 2002, 04:33:00 am »

Hey there,
I just got back from Cleveland. I'm in dire need of a really deep nap. Haven't written in a little bit. A lot of stuff has happened since I last wrote. First of all, the whole album is out. I'm having a hard time grasping the idea of a lot of people knowing who I am. It's surreal. I'm the exact same girl as I was before..(just as sleepy), but now one might travel a very long distance to see it all go down. "It" meaning me arriving at an airport or getting out of a car. I am honored to have such devoted and inspired fans. Afterall, you guys are the reason why I decided to release a record. Thanks for the generosity and the love. With all that said, I really gotta catch a wink. Being not nobody can definitely be grueling.....I welcome it.
.

Hey guys,
I'm sure there were a million questions that never got answered on the teen people chat. I wish I could answer all of them. I'll try to answer a few more for ya.1)I am going to tour Europe next week and the week after. 2) The part that I like that most about my songwriting are the melodies that come out of my hands and pour into the piano. It feels as if I become possessed by the keys. 3) I am dying to get out there and play for eneryone in the flesh. It is definitely my strong suit.........is that better? Guys, my album is sitting in brown boxes all over the country waiting their turn to get played. I might as well be in there with them. It feels like Christmas Eve or something. I can only hope that I bring a bit of hope to somebody's music box. Enjoy my record for it will certainly enjoy you.

peace

hey,
It's 1:15pm on a clock that's ten minutes fast. I'm tired and dreamy. I have four more days until the official release of an album that is all mine. Actually, on tuesday the album won't be mine anymore....it will be yours. That is why musicians make albums; to give it away. I write the songs, but perhaps it is the fans that sing the true melody. I hope that this record is as healing and empowering for you, the listening ears, as it was for me creating it. Be not Nobody is all yours....treat it well for it loves every ear that wants to listen. Much love and peace to my internet peeps......

« on: April 23, 2002, 07:22:00 pm »

I am overcome at the moment. I am giddy for an album of my songs will see the light of day in one week, meanwhile, the thought that is ringing in my head right now is 'my feet are really cold...I need socks'. I'm sitting in my parents living room...(that's where the piano lives) writing a new song and feeling perfectly content in the middle of the night at the edge of a lake. I gotta go find socks now. Much love to you posting people of the night (and day).....

Oh....it's been too long. Just wanted to check in. North Carolina was pretty cool. I especially like Raleigh...although I'd like to report strange squirrels in the area around the Lincoln Theatre. Once again your words have left me blushing. Much love....nine more days, baby!

Hey.....
just got back from a beautiful hike with a friend and twol smelly hilarious dogs.....I really miss not being to do a whole show. I wish I could play for atleast 45 minutes. Leno was cool, but it all goes by so quick. Leno is such the friendly man. I suppose some of you guys heard my nerves. It wasn't the best vocal I've ever done, but i thought it sounded cool ....I really do love to sing A Thousand Miles. Can't wait to sing acoustic on TRL. You guys meke me feel like such the lucky girl. I love my fans more than anything. you guys are the reason why I do what I do.....

much love and peace

Hey there,
Just got back from Houston. It was officially the first complete show I've ever done with my band. Really cool crowd. God, I wish I was performing every single day. I miss it to death. FYI Last night, I had the best sushi ever. Had a great three hour nap on the plane back. I have a day off tomorrow!! I hope you all enjoy this Saturday night as much as me......

« on: April 04, 2002, 12:26:00 pm »

hey there....
haven't talked in a bit. Got some news.....the album is getting mastered today, then shipped off to the factory. I've been waiting for this day for a sweet hot second. I must confess I'm dying to go on tour. I really got to get in front of you guys and play. It keeps me going. FYI I got lost today for an hour in my car and I ate some really sweet green grapes. God I love grapes. Needless to say, the grapes helped me find my way home.
.......(sorry I'm in one of those moods.)

Back from Jamaica....all I have to say is that I stayed at Hedonism 3. It was the most alarmingly naked place I've ever been to. No one told me everyone was gonna be nude. Needless to say there was a lot of shriveledness going on. I'm so ecstatic about being home right now. I will not join a nudist colony. I will not join a nudist colony. I will not join a nudist colony. Did you know that there are glass bottom hot tubs with viewing pools underneath them? Is that really necessary? Ha hahahah!!! Anyway, enough about that. Looking forward to Regis. He's quite the man isn't he. I have to shorten A thousand miles to 2minutes and 20seconds in order to fit it on the show. Just a warning. The things I do for Regis.

peace
