Post for introductions

So I've had a few new folks Friending me as of late, and I thought I'd do a quick post about who I am and to give all you new folks listening in a chance to introduce yourselves to me and to each other.

( Anna in a nutshell... )

Those are the high points! I invite any of you all listening in to drop me comments about any of these things that sound interesting to you, and please feel free to comment here as well to tell me about yourselves and what you do and what you love. As we say in Great Big Sea fandom, grab a chair and raise a jar. There's always room for more.

Home!

There will be a much longer post about this tomorrow, but tonight I will simply say that GBS rocked the Moore, as absolutely expected.

And, as expected, Alan is still pretty, Séan still has wicked pipes, and Bob can still play pretty much Everything. <3

Highlights of the show for me include their performing "Chemical Worker's Song" (which those of you who have been paying attention to the Jam Reports may note is a favorite at Jam) and "Tickle Cove Pond" (as an Alan solo! Squee!). Lots of songs were done off the new album, and a girl in the audience actually jumped up on stage and started stepdancing during "Company of Fools". Security almost threw her out, but the band said she could stay. Yay!

I am sheepish to admit that I did not stay in my seat as much as I should have, in no small part because everybody in front of us was standing and I could not see a damn thing when I was sitting down. But I did mostly restrain the bouncing to the knees only, and only punched the air with my left hand. *^_^*;; Mostly, I perched on the tipped-up back of my seat, which let me kind of half-sit down.

I was also Responsible Girl and came straight home despite the band dropping a lengthy musical hint that they'd be at Kells tonight. Were I not Recovery Girl, and had mamishka not had to work tomorrow, we'd totally have gone. As it is, I am now going to bed, and shall dream sweet dreams of my B'ys. <3

More tomorrow!
