I'm not gonna be coy. Aimee Mann FUCKING RULES and not the least because I didn't have to stand in a standing-mostly venue. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO yeah. And even though she didn't sing "Susan" or "Invisible Ink", she DID sing "Fourth of July", "Long Shot", "Sugarcoated", a new song from an album-in-the-works, and other wonderful things.
Also a newfound respect for Todd Barry, who erin overheard being nervous about going backstage after the show to see Aimee. That makes me like him a little. Backstage is a terribly awkward place. I usually just leave. The few times I've done backstage have never been worth it. It's so much easier to just email people. I think I'd rather be a Friendster than a friend. Hah. The only nerve-wracking part of the evening was when they confiscated erin terribly expensive camera, because her coming was so last-minute that she forgot to leave it behind. It all worked out, but they sort of left it sitting very visibly in an office. Yikes. Patton Oswalt offered comedy stylings. He's, if you didn't know, the best stand-up comic in the world. He had a stupid heckler whom I would've beat up if I'd been anywhere near him. |
