I can't even begin to describe how phenomenal Jenny Lewis was. I can't even wrap my brain around how she can sing THAT good. It's like golden honey or something equally smooth and shiny and absolutely awe-inspiring. Not only do I wish I could sing like her, I wish I could BE her. Every day.
And to top it off she was a great performer. I have no idea how I'll weed out only a couple of pictures to post on here. There's so many and I want to show them ALL. I want to go again. I want to go to everyone of her shows every day every where. She was just THAT good.
And while the pictures make her look relatively somber, it was a completely different experience from watching Rilo Kiley because she seemed somehow more animated. She seemed happier, smiling more, as if she were genuinely enjoying her time performing. Not that she seemed UNhappy in Rilo Kiley, it was just a different feel. Her whole face moved, sometimes grimacing or contorting, she snarled often. I loved it.
She played with Barbara, the drummer (who later also sang and played guitar), Danielle who played various instruments and sang, some guy with big glasses, Fisherman Dave or some such on an instrument I can't even begin to name and Jonathan Rice, her current boyfriend.
Rise up with fists...
It was seriously amazing. All of my favorite songs were played and her voice was like perfection 101% of the time. I have 3 short videos that I may post later on.
Also, we bought a poster, and while waiting for the set change, a guy came up to us asking if it was the poster at the merch shop. Turns out he made it! So the entire show and after we chatted to him and kind of made a new friend! He showed up process pictures of screen printing the posters and it was all around cool. I'm a stalker and looked at his website (on his business card that he exchanged with Adam), his work is REALLY cool and he's been able to work with a lot of awesome bands. He resides at: Tragic Sunshine . He was a really nice guy, his posters are super cool. And... Well, Adam and I are always excited when ANYone talks to us. That's how uncool we are.
Also, please note: Tomorrow I'll bomb the internet with pictures of my puppy. It's arriving at 10:35, available for pickup at 11:35. New blog to follow.
