The show started at 7, I got out of work at 6 and had a forty-five minute drive. I had to make a deposit for my boss, I got stuck behind a tractor and the road I needed to take was closed, yet I still arrived only ten minutes late. I am a speed demon.

He had the audience sing along for a couple of songs at the end of the show (and we sounded fantastic, by the way) and everything just flowed so nicely. He was beautiful. I'm a sucker for beauty and I see it in far too many things, which, I suppose, just makes me this gigantic sucker walking around all day. Perhaps this is how I lend myself to hurt and disappointment so much... epiphany people! (oops, sidetracked) heh

Anyway, even bigger than how nice Alexi sounds live, is the fact that I, again, went alone. I think I'm finally broken in. I used to hate getting to anything late and it was a dinner show (though, by the time I arrived they were only serving alcohol, which was fantastic). They seated me at a table with people, so I became the third wheel of a couple I didn't even know. And I didn't mind.

I'm so glad that someone else has found the beauty of Alexi. Thumbs up on going alone, Stace!

Awesome.

he's playing at a tiny club here in a few weeks. i should try to catch it....

He came here last week. I drove there tired as hell, parked, then took a look at the line stretching down the sidewalk, and said "meh." I still haven't heard him, just of him.

He's playing an in-store here later this month, perhaps I'll go.

Damnit, I just checked the site for the record store (Easy Street), and they just added two new in-stores that interest me, but one (Mountain Goats) is the same night as a show I already bought tickets to (Wolf Parade/Frog Eyes), and the other (Rainer Maria) is a weekend I'm out of town.

You're my hero, Stacey... I still can't manage to go to shows by myself. Glad to hear it was an awesome show. Alexi's pretty easy on the eyes and ears, eh?

Ohmygoodness, he's adorable. And so lovely to listen to. It seemed like such a long time between the release of the ep and the full length, I nearly forgot how much I enjoyed him.

Oh oh! And...

I saw fireworks from the highway on my way home as well as my first fireflies of the year.

Nice night.

They have fireflies up there? I never saw them in Boston, after having them all the time when I lived in MD.

Every year right around this time, yep. They fill the fields and it's awesome.

Saw Alexi last night -- so damn amazing. What was even more amazing was the usual rude Los Angeles audience being quiet during his set and shushing others that spoke a little too loudly. Maybe cuz it was a bit of an older crowd, though, definitely a lot of younger people to balance it.

I'll have to post photos later.

He's just so... nice.

Can't wait for the pictures.

i got this album from emusic and am liking it a lot

Gypsy skirts!

He looks nice too. I wanted to take him home with me, but I guess in this country they refer to that as kidnapping. Oh well...

Hush, Frew.

There were a lot of gypsy skirts and wannabe hippie girls last night.

My crowd was pretty eclectic. There were gypsy skirts, but it was also in Northampton...
