Audience partipation. I thought she knew Joespeh by the way he just said "okay come sing with me" which was pretty cool. To be honest I thought She was a little too giddy to sing Tattoo which is like a bitter song. But then again if I get to sing with Joseph I would probably spaz out too. LOL

After two weeks of mind storming of how I would make to at least one JA show without spending $100 + and missing too many class. I finally figured it out. Have Erin drive me to the Kingston (right outside where she lives) bus stop on Friday, take greyhound up to Albany. Stay over at Albany with Michelle, then Saturday Michelle drive us to Northampton for the show! After the show, we go back to Albany and on sunday morning take the greyhound from Albany to Syracuse to transfer trailways to Ithaca . This way, I can be back for yoga. Aren't I a genius or what? LOL

Of course I couldn't have done this without Michelle, she's always driving me to places when we go to shows. On the way to Northampton, she got her first ticket ever and got pretty upset, and I feel somehow responible. I wanted this trip to go well, seems like every time I go to shows when I'm at Ithaca, somethingn always go wrong. But it was all well worth it! It was a real full setlist accompanied by Joan Wasser on violin. He did toxic angel which is like one of my favorite song on all the bootlegs I own. It's great to finally hear it in person this time.

Joseph seems to be in a good mood on his opening night, he rambles more than usual which always makes me (and Kim) laugh. Oh how I wish Kim was there or that I can go to at least one other show with her. But stupid Quiz on Wedesday ruined all that. =/

If you're not sorry for who you are
Why are you sorry for where you been?
I know you carry a secret star
The one you got from your invisible friend
