Joanna in Austin: Thoughts AFTER The Show

Category: Uncategorized — dryvetyme @ 07:59

Well, suffice to say — that was one of the best shows I have ever had the opportunity to attend. Ms. Newsom OWNED the stage. I’ve never seen 400+ hipsters & indie rock snobs sit spellbound for 2+ hours for anything. From her passionate, invigorating harp technique to the way in which the Austin Symphony Orchestra brought the music of Ys to life, this was simply a masterful performance & I’m lucky enough to have been present for the event. I am in the process of writing up a more formal review, yet I’m not quite sure where it will be appearing. So, keep checking back for the link to my fully-formed thoughts on the night.

SET LIST:
“Emily”
“Monkey & Bear”
“Sawdust & Diamonds”
“Only Skin”
“Cosmia”

INTERMISSION

“Bridges & Balloons”
“The Book of Right-On”
“Inflammatory Writ”
“Colleen”
“Peach, Plum, Pear”
“Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie”
Untitled New Song

ENCORE

“Milk-Eyed Mender”

And with that, I have pictures to share! Sadly, I was neglected to take any during the show, mostly because I felt intimidated next to the real photographers & I wanted to pay attention to the finer nuances of the performance. Nevertheless — ENJOY!

    Well, well, well. Looks so major cool. What a night for you, and what a chance. Can’t wait to read the entire review.

    Hey, do I have to learn to text or something?!?!?!?!? Your brothers tell me they hear from you, or talk with you, several times a week. What about poor ole mom!?!?!?!?!

    Am I sounding pitiful enough yet? Just joking. But I do miss talking to you, and I know you know my number…

    Remember — I’m just doing my job — moms are supposed to be the best travel agents for guilt trips. HAHAHA

    love ya

    Yes. It was a lovely venue. Truly it was.

    And yes, while Kathleen does rock, I should be able to fly to Alpha Centauri and back on all of the frequent flyer miles I’ve accumulated from all the guilt trips she’s sent me on…

    Yes, and I guess you didn’t think that I would come back and read this and READ just what you said about your sweet mamoo!!! I personally would like to see you flying to the moon for not calling me UNTIL Wilsonian said something.

    You see, Wilsonian, Adam as always been viewed as the compliant “child” in the family. We all now know that simply is a ruse. Example is so clear here: Did he call his mom when she “sent him on a guilt trip”? No. Compliance = negative. Did another friend have to shore up my shining personality and beguiling temperament to get him to call me? Yes. Manipulation = positive.

    Thanks to Wilsonian for her support in many avenues in my life these days. And… of course, there is NO ONE like you, Adam. You are my favorite oldest son with red hair named Adam. LOVE YA LOTS!!!
