2011 Fall tour with Matt Nathanson

[AG.]

Haha, I'll certainly join in that. The best artists always have a closing act, it's well known in live music.

[sarab]

I've decided that Vanessa isn't opening for Matt Nathanson; Matt Nathanson is closing for Vanessa.

Won't you join me in my delusion?

Not a delusion!  I like this concept.

So, I just found out that Vanessa is coming to Indiana University of Pennsylvania on October 10th!!!!!!!!  I bought my ticket and I hope that my seat is at a good enough angle so that I can get pictures and hopefully videos for everyone!  I'm literally so excited!!!!!

I'm thinking of heading to the Chicago show, but we'll have to see how my schedule ends up falling into place.

Also, I've seen Matt in concert once before (about 3 years ago) and he actually puts on a pretty decent show. Lots of covers, good crowd interaction and he plays all his hits. I know at one point he did a medley of a bunch of different songs and, unless my memory is very much mistaken, he had the chorus to A Thousand Miles as part of it. He also did a meet and greet after the show and he was a really nice guy, very gracious to his fans and whatnot.

Well, hopefully depending on my place and what time I arrive at the two shows I'm attending I will totally take pictures and videos for everyone!  I'm super excited!  Are any Nessaholics going to the Pittsburgh show!?  If so you should travel to Indiana, PA because Matt Nathanson and Vanessa are also coming here the week after!! It's pure magic =)

I've been seeing ads for Matt Nathanson's new album EVERYWHERE - Facebook in particular, but like seriously every site I go to, there's a Matt Nathanson ad haha.  It's getting me excited for the show next week (!!!).

he just performed on Conan last night too.

It's finally here. Tomorrow, Vanessa is performing at the House of Blues in New Orleans. I know she's opening act and all.. but after tomorrow night, it'll change to the "House of Vanessa". Heh, for us.   All of us will be there supporting her in spirit. I wish the best of luck to Vanessa (she doesn't really need it.. hehe).

Also, the 9/27 Washington D.C. "9:30 Club" is the only venue that is sold out. Interesting..

[[sobriquet]]

Don't forget to record to record anything new!  have a great night

[Martin.]

Can't wait to see her.

Have fun to those going!

(I posted this in the 9:30 Club thread, but re-posting it here cuz I want input)

I'm trying to decide what I should do.  Part of me wants to just get to the show five minutes before it starts, hang out in the back for her set, then leave.  Another part of me wants to get there REALLY early (like 4pm or something haha) and be as close to the front as possible, but then I'd probably have to stay for Matt cuz it would be hard to leave between sets with all the other people there.

Any ideas?

I've seen Matt Nathanson a few times, and even if you're not crazy about his music, he puts on an excellent show. I'm a fan of his older stuff and many of his fans are really annoying - but he's hilarious and like you said, has great interaction with the crowd. I'm going to both the DC shows :-)

I wasn't going to go to the Chicago show because I've got another concert to go to the week after and I was bummed about V being the opening act, but now that I see on twitter she's written that she will sign autographs after each show... I think I might just go.

[AlexanderLaska]

Ahhhh, I'm SO happy she's going to be signing autographs and all that!  I can't wait to actually meet her!

[Onyx]

 I I I I I I I can't wait dskdhjsdsDLFHDJHDLFHDLFD AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Haha.
