i just got home. definitely worth driving 6 hours round trip for. she was awesome and beautiful and i cannot say enough good things about her. i always gush, but my god, she is amazing. first of all, i pictured this as being a bunch of people dressed in basketball uniforms... but my friend and i were one of the few people NOT wearing dresses or suits. ugh. it was an extremely nice party. we ate their fancy food with names that i couldn't begin to pronounce, and got drunk on delicious blue hawaiian drinks...mmm. ok to the good part. setlist:
ordinary day
nolita fairytale
heroes and thieves
hands on me
a thousand miles
home
oh, and did i mention i was the only person standing at the stage over the age of 5? yeah. good times. so after the show i walked to the backstage area and got to talking to the lady who had put me on the list. then mark came out and saw me and invited me to come see vanessa, so i went back there... and he goes "vanessa...guest" and points to me, and she jumped up off the couch and came over and gave me a hug. she said "ooo what's that blue drink??" and i said, "i don't know, but it's really good." i was pretty drunk at this point. and i told her good things like the new songs just touch my soul...ya know... all the things a good drunk fan should say, and she kept hugging me. i told her i think The One is probably the best song she's written and she told me stevie is singing back up on it, and she apologized for not playing it. she said she had planned on it but had to shorten the set. don't remember much else, but she said she would see me in new york and that i shouldn't have anymore blue drinks hahaha. i took some videos. i'll post them asap... it's nothing you haven't heard yet, but i'll do it soon.
thank you katia for the sweet hook-ups.
