i saw your face in a crowded place...

a silly little love song for myself:

monday night i went to see martha wainwright (rufus' sister) play at a place called the scala (same place i saw ray lamontange in last month). i meet up with vikki, and we totally get in for free b/c i'm just that clever. vikki and i get right up front and manage to sit comfortably on stage throughout the entire show because we're just that much of super-fans... the show ROCKED. martha is wholly different from rufus but just as amazing. i hate to say this, but Xtina has some definite competition as my all-time favorite female, because martha is sooooooo confident and has such a powerful voice, and has the street cred that Xtina will never get, just because she's a former mickey mouse-er. (and yes, i just *actually* compared martha to xtina... yes, i went there!)

so then after the show, some random dude walked up and asked us if we wanted passes to the after-party. after we picked our jaws up off the floor, i believe our exact response was: *blink, blink* "uhhh, yes, please!"

god, i LOVE being a cute girl! hahahaha. (i also love being full of myself, can you tell?)

so we go back to the after-party... chill out, talk to martha and the band, and jonathan rice (he opened for her)... and i keep seeing this shorter dude walking around that looks really familiar but i can't figure out why.

as we're leaving the random dude who got us back there walked up and was like 'are you guys having a good time?' and we say 'yes of course'... and he's like, oh did you see the celebrities here? .... and goes on to point out harper simon (the shorter familiar looking guy walking around, aka paul simon's son) and ringo starr's son... so weird!

chillin with martha and her crew and rock royalty.. ahh, too crazy!!! :) didn't get home til 3AM (damn tube closes at midnight and the nightbuses SUCK!) but it was totally worth it!!! :)

so, yeah, basically... to put in in the *most* basic sense, i am probably the coolest person in the world. basically. ;)

in other news, bought the martha cd, and the new ben folds, but i still can't force the james blunt CD out of my cd player. it's like, has everyone bought it yet? good lord! buy it!

I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you."
