Last night I went to the Ingrid Michaelson concert!! It was SO great! Laura is jealous, but Ingrid's heading to SLC in July so Laura will get her chance. Unfortunate events prevented me from being a super fan and wearing my ingrid shirt that eebs gave me and I didn't get the jubilant dance party experience that she did, but it was still superb all around.

April Smith opened and I liked her music and her voice. Her keyboardist was so wonderful- AND he busted out this sweet mouth organ (that's what I'm going to call it since I don't really know what it is) on one song.

Ari Hest played. He was basically country. My friend Julia, who went with me, leaned over and asserted that he was definitely country. I proposed that he be called folk rock (thinking to my country roots and the fine line between him and them). She laughed and said he's so country it's ridiculous! Just so happens, nothing else was going on when she said that, and Ari was like "what was that- did I hear something?" [pause] "was that a cell phone?" the people around us looked and giggled and we laughed a lot. That was the best moment of Ari's segment (although we did agree that he had a nice, manly voice even though we weren't fans of his music).

And finally the awaited moment arrived when Ingrid and her band came on!! She was great- she is so funny and candid and casual. It was so fun and fantastic to watch her perform.

I wish I had the talent and personality to be a musical performer. Music is my passion- it speaks to my soul, but I don't think it will ever be more than a personal hobby/enjoyment/etc. hmm, too bad.
