Maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm kinda confused...is Vanessa going to be playing a ukulele?

As long as she's gonna sing... who cares!

Sorry, I would have posted it here if I would have known at the time that she was performing..I was under the idea that she was just going to be in attendance...really looking forward too this....I wonder if that Peru show is happening..that stadium is HUGE!

Guys, it seems like it was a misunderstanding: I just got confirmation that Vanessa will not be playing at this event!

PRODUCER ATTEMPTS BEATLES UKULELE RECORD

Music producer ROGER GREENAWALT will attempt to break the world record of continued ukulele playing in New York on Sunday (6Dec09) as part of a quirky BEATLES marathon.
Greenawalt has organised the second annual Beatles Complete on Ukulele Festival and is expecting over 100 singers and musicians to take part in the 13-hour event at the Brooklyn Bowl - but he has a very special reason to be there.
He will be playing ukulele Beatles hits onstage throughout the festival - and feels sure he will be able to score a handful of world records.
Greenaway will be joined by children's TV stars the Naked Brothers and rockers Guster. A scheduling conflict has prompted the event's big name, Vanessa Carlton, to pull out.
More than 16 Yoko Ono impersonators will be on hand to perform throughout the day. John Lennon's widow will be the beneficiary for the event and she plans to donate the money raised to charity.

So it seems this event was not clear. I love how V's people don't tell us anything. Luckily, we have each other to find and figure stuff out which is great but at the same time, sad.

Here's hoping 2010 will be better with information to us.

Thanks.

I follow one of the ladies from DoOL and she just tweeted that V is performing at the Trevor Project Charity Event at The Wiltern in LA right now.

damn. im right down the street too..

Arwen · « **Reply #28 on:** December 07, 2009, 10:51:49 am »

Yeah it sucks that V's peeps dont let us know about this stuff... It would really be nice if she went on her twitter once and awhile too. Maybe for Christmas?
I wonder how the ukelele festival went yesterday...

nutnlp · « **Reply #29 on:** December 07, 2009, 11:22:16 am »

she wasn't apart of the festival after all, she had to back out because of scheduling conflicts(probably because of this la show @ the wiltern yesterday). wish it was annouced i would have made an effort to show up.

but i do wonder how it went regardless of her being there.....i checked youtube n' couldn't find anything.
