Alex, that is cool. We would all be stoked if you did. She was amazing at Seattle b/c she was honestly taken back by the sold out crowd. I can see where you think she is polished...in fact, the critics say the same exact shit abut her. BUT, there was this girl next door innocence that really made me see her in another way. She semed out of place physically but when she sang she was completely captivating. The tunes were catchy and full of hooks. I like that techno angle on some of her tracks (it is where she really reminds me of Beth Orton). I think she is gona be huge like Dido. Whatever, it is all pretty candy-ass, I know.....I can be a total sucker for that stuff.
Jason, I didn't run...they were completely civil about it. They said, 'go to your car and put it away and you can come back as long as you lose the gear'. I think they were looking for people using the stall for other reasons. I have seen them do that. That is why they told initially it was okay after seeing I didn't have a hypodermic needle in my hand. I think afterwards did it dawn on them what I was doing....waited for me to come out and got me. The security there has ALWAYS been cool with tapers. Jim who runs the board is a great guy....a bit of a geek but really friendly and allows the patch out of the board when bands are okay with it.
