So I almost caused an accident right after I got out of the parking lot. I saw Vienna Teng and Alex Wong loading gear in their car!!! Kicking myself because they were withing like 50 feet of my car if I'd only seen them in time I could have gotten my two new cds autographed!!! As it was I didn't have a place to pull over and being in an unfamiliar area and not knowing how traffic would be. . . oh, and it being night. The moment vanished. Hopefully I'll get another chance. I find myself wondering if maybe I could have some how talked myself out getting into trouble if I had just slammed on the brakes, hit the emergency flashers, and tried to get autographs.
I loved them (VT and AW) opening. It was mostly from the latest album. It was waaaaayyyy too short though. I think I like the original version of "Gravity" better, though it might just be that I'm used to it and not to the new one so the new sounds off/odd/not as pleasant/whatever. I like how I saw her perform before going to ls and then after. Symmetry. (Though I wish I'd been able to go to more of her concerts.)
I learned today that "pedestrian mall" is inland for boardwalk. I got there super early because I didn't know how lost I'd get and thought there'd be more things to do and places to shop. Long story short and not as cranky sounding, I walked up and down the place a couple times and got increasingly hot and cranky. Felt better after making myself eat something though. I don't know if I just wasn't in the shopping mood or what but all the stores seemed like they were the type I could basically just find on Chincoteague. Eh.
Brandi Carlile was good. Better than I thought really. I liked when the twins sang "The Sound of Silence."
Oh, should probably explain. I went to a Brandi Carlile concert in Charlottesville at the Jefferson. Well, it was Brandi Carlile's main show, but I went because Vienna Teng and Alex Wong were opening. Opening not main performers and in a place where I ending up standing the whole time (of course the tall people kept getting in front of me)), but hey, I'll take what I can get and it was still great to see them perform. I just wish they'd had t-shirts. I wanted a new one. Lots of Brandi Carlile shirts, but no Vienna Teng.
Tired but keyed up at the momemnt. Anyway, back to the grind tomorrow. Or actually later today.
