Thursday morning ramble…

Such a great show last night! The crowd was really intimate, but there was a lot of love and laughter that managed to fill the room.  Thank you so much to those who came out and spent their Wednesday night with me.

Here’s the set:

Count the Shadows
Subterranean
Mistake
Gimme More
Radar
Toxic
Baby One More Time
Little Bit of Blue
Ghosts
Coming Around
Has Been
encore:  Over My Head

This is the first time I played a set of songs in the same order as they appear on the record.  I usually devise a different set for each show to make each its own experience… so this was an experiment.  It was cool and fun, but by the 4th Britney song, I could hardly hold it together because I was laughing so much with the crowd.  I think it was one Britney song too many.  Or maybe it was the whiskey.  Either was it was fun.

Josh snuck a little video footage on his tiny camera and if anything turns out halfway decent I will post it in the next few days.

In the meantime, if you haven’t checked out our doofy video for ‘Gimme More,’  now is the time!

I have no money for promotion and must make the most of the resources that I have at my disposal.  So, Liz and Josh and I went out on the town and tried to tell a story with a whole slew of pictures.  The arc of our night was nicely documented and I think the clip turned out pretty well considering the fact that we have no idea what we’re doing :-)   While it’s clearly an evening of debauchery, the energy of the clip is positive and fun and doesn’t have any of the darkness Britney’s video has.

Next up is a proper video for ‘Ghosts’ off of ‘Never Was.’  More on that in a few weeks.

Have a beautiful day, friends!

xo,

    I definitely think the Gimme More video tells a story. Not sure exactly what it is, but it’s a good one!

    I am kinda digging the slideshow/stop motion feel to the Gimme More video.

    Glad you had a great show – nice to get it fined tuned so it is perfection by the time I see it!

    I liked that video- it told the story of the song in a fun, tongue-in-cheek way. But your articulation of the lyrics also hinted at the genuine sadness in the song, too. It was an interesting juxtaposition.

    Happy to hear that you had such a successful show. I hate to have missed it.
    Very original take on Britney’s Gimme More.
    I really enjoyed it!
