I just wanted to let everyone know that after three years of holding on to it and hoping and dreaming, I finally got my White Houses vinyl record signed by Vanessa Carlton!
After the Nashville concert, I skipped out to the car... Okay, I didn't actually skip, but I moved quickly, and I got the record out of the trunk (I had brought it just in case) and went behind the building and loitered around in the lot near the bus hoping I or someone else would catch her before she ran off. Four other people and I just barely stopped her from trying to disappear for a moment, and she had to borrow a Sharpie from someone and she signed a couple of shirts and made a couple of pictures for the other four, and signed my White Houses record. She was amazed to see it because she didn't know it even existed and wanted to know where she could get one. I told her where I had bought mine, and it now it looks like they're available again.
