i went to the "picnic" beforehand and met some lovely sinisterites at the pick me up cafe. i had cinnamon apple pancakes that everyone thought looked like sausage pancakes. i found a ticket to the show at cost (w/o nasty service fees). b&s were amazing, even if they looked tired up there. i was kind of scared, since my dc peeps told me that the show there was awful. during 'asleep on a sunbeam', it was said that sarah was the epitome of twee. to my left, a group of all boys and one girl yelled "HOTT!" every three minutes. i mean, we all know that b&s are an attractive group of muscians, however, this does not need to be noted every three minutes. anyhow, if i had to pick a favorite song of the night, it would be 'i'm a cuckoo' vs. 'the wrong girl (johnny cash style)', because it was oh so excellent. anyhow, i put up an audblog from the show (see below). just in case some of you do not have online journals/blogs, i'll tell you what an audblog is. it allows you to post audio to your journal by calling a telephone number. SO, basically, it can be fairly ghetto if yr trying to record a song, depending on how good yr phone connection is. anyways, here is an audblog of 'get me away from here, i'm dying': http://madflowr.livejournal.com/161365.html (from the chicago show @ the congress theatre) anyways, it was such a lovely time. i am so glad i went. thanks to laurel for oganizing the meet up and writing down the setlist! lala, leigh _________________________________________________________________ See when your friends are online with MSN Messenger 6.0.
