   I’m so glad you love her, cause I love her too. She’s one of my favourite artists, and well, Gravity is my current favourite song.

   She’s going to be performing about an hour away from here next month. I’ll probably be going solo, too.

   Well done to you for going solo! I admire ppl that do that and I think lots of other ppl do too. I get a great feeling of independence when I do stuff on my own. It’s only the initial step I find the hardest. kudos to you.

   This was really, really great.
   I know I’ve heard a couple other things of her’s, but I can’t remember… but yeah, she really has something.It scrapes your soul, to hear her sing that.

   Can I just say, I LOVE your description of the music. “Marleyesqueness” is classic. :)
   Glad you had a good time!

   Ok, I’m loving the fact you had the guts to go out on your own. I am too much of a wuss for that. I wish I could. I’m trying to get myself in the mindself to go places alone.

   Awesome!

   (I hate when people gyrate with each other at shows…it’s amongst my biggest pet peeves!)

   Glad you were able to go out and have a good time. One of my favorite things to do is go out for a meal by myself. I take a good book, enjoy a big glass of wine and eat as slowly as I damn well please. It’s like heaven to me. Going to the movies by myself is another favorite.

   Is she who opened for Katie at the Key Club?

   Again with the small-worldishness of bloggers! My daughter Juli (age 27) went to a concert by herself last night, also for the very first time. I haven’t heard yet how it went, but I hope her experience was as positive as yours!

    You’ve done way better than I ever could – I don’t think I could ever go to a gig on my own. I’m glad you had such a good time :) People like the gyraters are always at every gig, aren’t they?

    WANT. THOSE. SHOES. !!!
    Btw, I once decided to go to a concert by myself too, but sadly got sick that night and didn’t make it. Nonetheless, I think it is a terrific idea!

    diane- check out TJ Maxx. Do they have that in Chicago?

    Ys- you can SO do it. it was easier than i thought, actually. where there is booze, there will be gyrators.

    SJ- i hope Juli had an equally bitchin’ time at her show. let’s swap notes!

    tomato- yes, and i have you to thank for that. ;)

    jessie- i love going to the movies by myself. besides, i don’t want to share the armrest or my popcorn. heh. i’m still learning about that whole dining alone thing. good for you!

    rosalish- the gyrating was a bit distracting but her shrieking nails on the chalkboard voice was the biggest annoyance. gah!

    diva- it IS a mindset. you can do it! thanks for the props, yo.

    justrun- “marleyesqueness” will soon be sweeping the world.

    bully- isn’t she just… IN it. you know? like she is so deep into those lyrics. it goes right through me. piercing. glad you liked it.

    audrey- well thanks!

    eileen- you must go. seriously! it will be liberating and we can be like groupies and compare notes. weeee! (also, when we are sitting next to one another on the plane ride to hell, we can share ipod buds and listen to her. how romantical.)

    I once had a therapist tell me that when you reach the point where you can “take yourself out” and be ok with it (no reading or talking on cell phone) that was when you were truly comfortable with yourself.

    i have a feeling we’d be bff’s if only we lived closer! those shoes! i flippin love red shoes. and stella. AND sarah! i think it’s great you went by yourself. why the hell not, right?

    Love on the Rocks is SO like Benny and the Jets!

    I think that every time I hear it!

    Good for you for going to a show by yourself! I did that with Keane a couple years back (though not due to lack of trying to get someone to go with me…). And I had a great time! But then again – I dig doing stuff solo already…

    There is definitely something to be said for not having to arrange what you want to do around what other people you know want to do, have the time for, have the money for and will actually show up for. Good for you! The one time I got to travel on my own I had a blast for that reason. I forgot about that, thanks for the reminder.
    Those shoes look like they could make any night a hip flask full of fancy joy. I have shoe envy now.

    A show on your own! Way to go, I am so envious of your bravery! I have always wanted to travel on my own (well travel period!) and maybe, just maybe … someday!

    Go you!!!

    That’s really all I have to say. Oh, and thanks for sharing your musical interests always.

    Lovely lyrics… great new song. Thanks for sharing.

    That’s fantastic. I just bought 2 tickets to concert that I’m going to alone. I think it is really liberating to do things by yourself (go out to eat, concerts, movies, whatever!). If you can’t be happy by yourself, how can you be happy with someone else! This is especially important now that I have 2 children and don’t get much alone time, but just as important as before!

    180/360- So true- we have to enjoy our own company or how do we expect anyone else to? ;)

    a life uncommon- of course! glad you like.

    bone- thanks for being a cheerleader. i am a fanatic about tuneage and am happy to share.

    jenny- i did it! woo hoo me! your video had too much talking in the background but i considered it.

    nergirl- you can do it! there is bravery in each of us.

    pocketct- “a hip flask full of fancy joy” is the best saying i’ve heard in ages! the shoes make me feel rawr but doing something i was afraid of doing makes me feel even more rawr.

    dumpling- you’re like my role model for independence, among so many other things.

    brookem- why the hell not!? exactly! we can be cyber bffs. ;)

    alissa- cheers (clinks stella bottle)!

    skyzi- i’d say your therapist was pretty right on about that.

    Many the Miles is Katie’s favorite. She started whining when I told her you went to the show last night.

    BTW, got the CD. Thanks! You rock my world, Sizz!

    Wow, I can see why you went. Alone or not, I am sure that was hypnotic.

    I’ve never heard of her before until you’ve mentioned her, Sizzle. I’m glad you introduced us to her; I actually have a penchent for female solo folk artists (esp. on the piano). I was a huge Sarah McLachlan fan (pre-Surfacing; Fumbling Towards Ecstasy CD is the best), and love that kind of thing. Thanks.

    anthony- you are MORE than welcome. she’s a gem. enjoy!

    kapgar- i hope you two can make it to the chicago gig. it will be awesome! and katie has great taste (though this is not news- she married you.) :)

    You know I love her!!! And Love on the Rocks is my fave song on the album I think. Although I love the whole damn thing. I missed her when she was here with Paula Cole (sold out dabnamit!!!) a few weeks ago, but I WILL SEE HER at SOME POINT. You can bet on it.

    And I will most definitely go by myself if I have to. :)

    Good for you for going by yourself — it’s not easy! I swear, I think every show I’ve been to has “that” annoying drunk girl with her boy toy or her other drunk girlfriend that just ruin the experience for everyone around them.
