.going to the big easy today...

i'm off to new orleans today. just found out this morning that christine can fly me down there. i don't know what i'm doing. it's not like i can afford to go somewhere out of town now. i still have some condo stuff to clear up now, but i think i can do that while i'm down there. just have to talk to people.

anyways, went to the amel larrieux concert last night at navy pier. that's some real music. soul. you can feel it when she sings. if you've heard her live or have her cd, maybe you know what i'm talking about, because there are no words to really explain how listening to her sing makes you feel. it was one of the best concerts i've ever been to. my fav song is 'make me whole' - perfect wedding song. she brought up a girl from the audience to sing this with her. a duet. give someone a chance to be discovered. and this girl tore it up. the crowd was crazy and listening to her brought tears to almost everyone's eyes. amel didn't even know what to do, she was so shocked by how real this girl sounded. amel told her later that she wants to manager her. i hope that girl makes it. she had a beautiful voice.

anyways, i had to say something about amel. thanks rach for the influence! she really was amazing. so peaceful.

have a good weekend everyone! take care.
