Impending Newfoundlanders

[annathepiper]

The Great Big Squee is beginning to roll across my Friends list, as the specter of the Great Big Concert Famine of '05 is chased away by the beginning of the '06 Tour. Concert reports, people, I want concert reports! And set lists! And descriptions of anything particularly clever or charming uttered by either Alan or Séan!

And it goes without saying that if you got good pictures, I want to see those, too!

Nine more days till the 2/11 show at the Moore. You may safely expect that in the interim I will be bouncing around en route from home to work and back again, playing all the live GBS tracks on my iPod, muttering "maximize the vertical movement!" and bellowing the lyrics to "Lukey", "Captain Kidd", "Old Polina", "The River Driver", and "Charlie Horse" when I think nobody can hear me. Possibly even when I think people can hear me. My guitar and my bouzouki and I will be having communion this weekend, and there may be periodic bursts of song on this journal as I drag random people into singalongs. You have been warned.

Because the B'ys are on the road, and soon, soon, ladies and gentlemen of the greater Puget Sound Region, they will be HERE.

Concert! Soon! We shall have to find each other there.

OH YES we should! mamishka and I will be together, and we'll also have our friend Fred from our former jamming gruop with us as well. So are you a 'stay in your seat' sort or a 'there is no place to be but Stage Alan' sort? Meems and I have been waffling about whether we need to be by the stage! ;)

bwaha. I'm flexible. ;)

My only worry is that when I was at the show at the Moore in '04 and right by Stage Alan, I could barely hear most of the singing. @.@ I think I was in a dead zone between the stage and the speakers, since people who were actually in their seats were saying they could hear everything just fine.

I'm torn! I want Proximity to the Pretty, but I also like, y'know, want to HEAR them. :) (Though it'd be fun to have a little herd by the stage, too, if we can pull that off. Since I expect our seats will be scattered around anyway.)

*laughs* The Great Big Squee. :)

I swear to gods that I had not actually INTENDED a play on words when I wrote that entry, but if "Great Big Squee" is not already in the GBS fandom lexicon, it ought to be. ;)

Okay? So you know the acapella pretty that is General Taylor? Imagine that amount of lovely applied to River Driver. Guh. And Come and I Will Sing You and um, SQUEE indeed.

I am VERY MUCH looking forward to being slain by the live goodness that is "The River Driver". :D

How's Bob's voice these days? He sounded pretty rough in the Sympatico show!
