And my crush on Fakir only seems to grow stronger...

Today at work was pretty busy. We only have three days, so hopefully we can get things caught up before Thursday.

Anyway, the concert last night was awesome! I'm sorry I don't have pictures because my camera decided to quit on me. *fnarl* Beforehand, we went to eat at the new Japanese steakhouse that wasn't too far from the venue. It was pretty nice. I tried miso soup for the first time. It wasn't too bad. A little salty.

We made it a little later than I felt comfortable with, but we only really missed the guy she's touring with performing. I mean, he was decent enough, but I wasn't there to see him. I was able to give away my extra ticket to some girl. She eventually ended up sitting elsewhere, but it wasn't a big deal or anything...

Now, onto the good stuff:

Act I – Clyde

• Bouncing Off Clouds
• Little Earthquakes
• Juarez
• Upside Down
• Beauty Of Speed
• Little Amsterdam

Interlude

• Professional Widow

Act II – Tori

• Big Wheel
• Father Lucifer
• Digital Ghost
• “pass the chicken” improv
• Cornflake Girl
• “you’re a diamond” improv
• Liquid Diamonds
• Honey

T & Bö

• Marianne
• “shining” improv/Twinkle

Band Returns

• The Beekeeper
• Taxi Ride
• Code Red

First Encore

• Precious Things
• Tear In Your Hand

Second Encore

• Hey Jupiter

She played quite a few songs form Pele, which I haven't had a chance to listen to yet. Her parents were in the audience and she pointed them out. She then had a little song about chicken dinner, which was very cute!



She seemed to have really been enjoying herself and it showed. She definitely showed her dimples! She was so cute when she's leave the stage and wave to the fans! After she finished her set and before the first encore, people actually rushed the stage! This is the first concert I've been to where that ever happened! But then, the other concerts I'd been too before were a little more sedate.

There were quite a few older people there as well. I was somewhat surprised since she has mostly younger fans, but it just goes to show that Tori transcends all ages.

The girl I went with told mom later on today that she kinda wished she'd taken me after all. The girl she was sitting with and shared her tickets with complained the entire time when my friend just wanted to enjoy the show. *shrugs*

Now that the show is available at Legs and Boots," I think I'm gonna purchase it!

OK, now some fandom stuff. I finished the first season of PT. *wibbles* Episode 12 is my favorite so far. Why? Much Fakir/Ahiru cuteness. They're my favorite pairing in the series, as if you couldn't tell. Like when Ahiru takes her pendant off and becomes a duck, Fakir gets mortified when he realizes that she'd seen him cry. I was all, "Awww, we know you're really a softie underneath, Fakir. Don't try to fool us." And then, when she put the pendant back on so she could talk to him again, forgetting she wasn't in her clothes, the way they both turned beet red. *tweeheehee*

Episode 13 almost made me cry. Not only because of Edel's sacrifice but because Ahiru was dancing "Swan Lake" which is one of the most beautifully tragic ballets. *sniffles* Also, because Fakir had given her the strength and courage to continue dancing despite the comments from Kraehe. They are so meant to be!!!!

Speaking of which, Amazon notified me that my box set will be arriving on Wednesday! Wheee!!! I may have to bring it along with me on vacation! I am planning on taking my laptop, which I can watch DVD's on. *stokes chin thoughtfully*

Oh, I will!

Ohhh, you got some really nice songs. I love Honey and Marianne. And I keep wondering if she does Bouncing Off Clouds differently when she plays it as Clyde and as herself (it was one of the encore songs at my show).

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

She played it pretty upbeat and kinda rock-ish. It definitely had an uptempo, which was a little strange since when she was Clyde, she was much more sedate and didn't engage the audience as much as she did when she was herself.

Plus, people said she might've been a little more toned down since her parents were there, but she still gave an awesome show regardless.

My friend was hoping she'd play "1,000 Oceans" since that's one of her favorite songs.
