What should the title of this post be?! Don't know.

Well, it is safe to say that I am not a great blogger. Hell all I have really posted is videos and how easy is that?! Haha. But I am trying to be inspired by Shawnte and her regular posting and I am going to try to be a little more pro-post.
I don't really know what it is that I am supposed to write right now, but I do feel the need to be in here and doing this, so I guess I am just going to ramble. I have recently become a member of Twitter (thanks a lot Shawnte) and while it is pretty useless as a webpage goes, I am already a little addicted to it! Just one more thing for me to check on. And I only have 3 followers so I really don't know what there is to check. HAhaha. Oh well.
I also feel the need to post about what I saw last night. I got to go on a date last night. It is very rare that K and I actually dress up and leave our valley for the bright lights of C'town, but last night we did! Whoo hoo!
We went to see the Feist concert. Man oh man it had to have been the most visually compelling concert I have even been to. I would have to say that I spent 85% of my time NOT watching Feist herself. You see, she was her whole show set up with shadows and projections and other such things lit up on the back syc of the stage. It was absolutely beautiful! 3 VERY talented people were runnign around the stage with mini spot lights and figures on wodden sticks and so on to make this beautiful light and shadow show that ran the enitre concert. They didn't stop. And when they weren't shadow-ing they had a little hand held camera that projected in black and white and they would focus on things like the strings of the piano, or the striker for the bass drum. It was amazing. It just goes to prove that music really is art and when the artist wants you to focus on something else rather than just looking at her, you can tell that she really wants you to HEAR hear music and not LOOK at what she is doing. She was projecting the images that she sees when she sings the songs. At least that's what I took from it and that was amazing.
I would tell you if you got the chance to see her concert in person, that you should definately go, unfortunately we in C'town had the rare opportunity to see the last show on what she called her 6 year tour. It had tears and laughter and she was a real person.
It was amazing.
I loved it.
Inspired.

Wow. I'm definitely going to have to check her out if she lands in Toronto.
