Concert

So, tonight was the Vienna Teng concert in Cambridge, and it was totally awesome. It was me and my mom. We actually thought we were going to be late, and made a rather illegal U-turn to try and counter that, but we ended up arriving a good five minutes before the music began. It was at a folk club, so the atmosphere was nice and relaxed, very intimate, which I liked. As for the music itself, it was totally awesome seeing one my favorite artists live. Vienna played a mix of stuff off her two albums and unreleased stuff, as well as two covers, and it was all totally awesome. I think I almost cried when she played "Harbour" - it is hands-down my favorite of her songs, and it was even more beautiful live.

Afterwards, my mom and I went to the Garage, and I found that awesome Sephiroth Play Arts figure for $20, and as such immediately bought it. My mom got a DVD for herself and a CD for Ben at Newbury Comics. We then headed over to Finale, and had some lovely if expensive desserts to finish off the evening.

(Coming later - more DMC and Coldfire babble)

Vienna Teng is amazing. Harbor isn't my favorite song, but it's up there. :p

Along with My Medea, Drought, Between, and Say Uncle, and Lullabye for a Stormy Night.

I'm so jealous you've seen her in concert. I hope she decides to come back to LA soon. ;_;

She played Lullabye for a Stormy Night - apparently she wrote it when she was seventeen, and procrastinating on an English project. Between is another favorite of mine, but there's something about Harbour that I feel like I can relate to.

Hey, you've been to Japan and I haven't XD; It'll probably happen eventually, LA is big enough.
