it's bound to melt your heart....

Well, it's finally come to this, I guess: A cold. A sneezing, sniffling and headachy cold.

It probably didn't help that we had to stand for an hour in the foggy San Francisco chill last night as we waited to be let in for the Jenny Lewis show.

Seems there was some huge accident on the 5 and in the end the show started nearly 2 hours later than planned. Luckily once we were let into the venue we were able to warm our bellies with booze at the bar.

Oh, but then I lost a contact lens in the bathroom.

So what I'm saying here is that I'm really glad the show was so damn amazing - smallish room (like a high school auditorium, but about half the size) with good sound and an incredibly intimate vibe. Just perfect. I wish I had a better picture to show you but then, I didn't want to be like the girl in front of me who snapped the same picture all night long.

Anyhoo--it was really beautiful, Jenny Lewis has such a pretty voice --when she sang my favorite, "Melt Your Heart" I could have cried - and the Watson Twins added lovely harmonies --they actually started and ended the show the same way: Walking down the aisle between the rows of seats, singing a capella. That sort of thing always gives me goosebumps. It felt like we were in church - in the good sort of way that reminds me of the things that, as a child, I did like about parochial school and Sunday services. Goodness, that was so long ago.

And today I am so very tired and sneezy and sniffly and headachy. There is still much to be done but I don't think anything will happen until I steal a short cat nap. With my cat of course. She's an expert at this napping thing...
