Glad to hear the turnout was good! I told my friend in Chicago to go for me since I couldn't but I don't think she did.  :lol:

Grahm Colton was pretty good as well

V said that she has only gotten 4 hours of sleep in 2 days and was knocked up on a lot of expressos lol

after the show we went out and we took pictures and autographs and what not.

It was an amazing show it was perfect! All they said about the dvd was that they were filiming it there at Park West *cameras all over lol* and thats it, so great news!

Funny story: a guy after the show went up to the lady and asked if he could have Vanessa's water bottle...the girl looked at him and said "sure why not?" lol so she gave it to him, than I asked for the set list sheet by her piano and she gave it to me, it has a water stain from her water lol (its heavanly...8-))

I will have White Houses and pictures up tomorrow :)

We were fortunate enough to have a kick ass photographer at park west tonight to take some amazing pictures of the show.

















She doesn't post here much but we'll see if she wants to chime in :)

I think V looks so cute and happy here!  I think we need DeSha at all the V shows to take pictures =)

I <3 you Katia for not killing me when I broke this post. -B

Concert was.... AMAZING.
I seriously did cry during Who's to Say. Not because it has a personal meaning to me, but it was probably my favorite song off of Harmonium and she did it so well. The way she sang it was so powerful... so emotional. I can't describe it!
I also teared up during More Than This. It is my favorite song off of Heros, and I was seriously so happy she played it... and again, she played it with so much feeling.

Technically, she played Divide & Conquer rather than Ordinary Day... Which I was happy about, because I always felt that was more romantic anyway.

SO excited about the DVD. I was sitting at the conert and thinking "I wish I could record this". AWESOME that I'll keep a copy of the amazing concert I attended. After the concert, I couldn't stay and around and try to get an autograph (I had over 4 hours to travel back that night, and we needed to get going), but as I was waiting for my ride, they asked to interview me for the DVD! I thought that was pretty cool... Although I'm sure I won't get on it, because  my mind went blank and all I could say was "awesome". haha.

I liked Park West... I liked the set up. One of the guys who was working we could not understand, and he was kind of rude, but whatever. I got pretty good seats! Considering they screwed us (They opened 2/3 doors when opening, I was at the third door. NOT FAIR since some of us had been waiting for HOURS and then others could get a head of us. but whatever). I got to sit on a couch, and I could see her and her hands playing so it was all good.
What I'm REALLY dissapointed was that everything I read about Park West said no cameras. I overheard someone asking the ticket person, and they said no cameras... But then they allowed cameras! I would have brought mine, so I was a little dissaopointed. At least there is the DVD... And those of us who got there early enough scored free posters... Woot!

So overall, it was amazing. It was my first real concert, and I'm glad it was so good. I can't stop thinking about it. I didn't get home until 3, and I couldn't go to sleep because I kept thinking and reviewing the concert in my head.
If you haven't gone to one, go... It doesn't matter how far you have to drive, go!
To those who went - did she give out autographs? I knew she was really tired and the weather was nasty, so I wasn't sure if she would or not.

The show was amazing. I cried during "White Houses."

"Who's To Say" was amazing.

I really liked the venue. But most of the fans there seemed very rude. I was dissapointed with that. I was expecting everybody to be laughing and getting along, but that was not the case.

The show was amazing though.

Before the show I went to take a picture of her tour bus. But then I turn around and there is V walking Victor! It was really cool. I told her that we would all love it if she played "Best Behavior" but she said she didn't really remember it. Haha.

Oh and Vanessa looked really pretty. She looked very thin.

She did look thin... I'm hoping it was a healthy thin, not a "she's on tour and doesn't have time to sleep/eat properly unhealthy thin."
I loved her outfit.
I remember everyone freaking out over her dogs being walked... I thought it was funny that the piano tuner had like a taxi like car that said "piano tuner". And when he walked by he was mumbling "piano tuner, coming through, piano tuner." I thought it was funny... And I thought that was more exciting than her dogs.

Does anyone know if she brings her own piano or plays what is there? I know it'd be a pain to bring it on tour, but I wouldn't blame her...
