oh aimee mann.  i love you.

gigerisgod, thank you for telling me to go.  i owe you at least one and maybe two.  fuck, you guys.  she put on such a show.  three encores.  great stories.  she's so funny and warm and she swears like a soldier on stage.  she played lots of stuff from her new album which i adore and plenty of the older stuff.  it was one of the best shows i've ever been to (and i've been to a few).   the sound was great--though the bass was too loud for the first few songs--they finally got it figured out.  her voice was strong and beautiful and the band she has kicks serious ass.  and her opening band was a local group called blind pilot who are my new absolute fave rave group.  they are incredible.  have a listen.

i wish i were her.
