Jill's story
ok, I'm comin out of lurking status to post this cause I just got home from the Lounge ax show and feel compelled to post after meetin up w/ so many cool people from this list. and well because the show was just so Totally Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, well I'm sure Jase or Katie or Craig or Jorge or any of y'all can give a more detailed account of all the goings on... but here are a few highlights. Sally Timms (of the Mekons) came out 1st. and played for a bit... not bad at all..
ok, so then Liz comes out. she has her 2 guitars w/ her (the red and white ones) and her guitar player from her band. She is wearing black jeans and a satiny white tank top deal for those who note these things. For the life of me i can't remember all the songs she played or the order. she played over an hour. some i remember (not in order) are...polyester bride, Johnny Feelgood, Dance of the Seven Veils, Flower and I must add here that she asked someone to come on stage and help her out and Katie B. from this list went up and arm and arm the 2 of them sang an AMAZING version of this song (so, Katie, you rock!!), more songs... Wild thing from Girlysounds, mesmerizing, Fuck and Run, Divorce song, Girls Room, a brand spankin new song called something like A Conversation between 2 bouncers, the encore was Explain it to me and then Supernova. i'm sure I'm leaving stuff out here so anyone else at this show please correct me or add to this. Liz was super friendly between songs. very casual, sorta asking the crowd what they wanted to hear a bit..laughing. said she hadn't played at lounge Ax for like 5 years and the last time she did she was nervous as shit and tonight was no different.. ok, it was SUCH an AMAZING show. I can't say that enough!! lots of pictures were taken so hopefully y'all get to see some of those.
to the Katie i think in Florida who (i hope this is you) made the teddy bear and card for Liz. Liz did get it and there is a photo of her holding it up I believe.
So everyone from the list who was there tonight, y'all are wonderful! I know i never ever post but I'm here listening if that counts.. please all you people that were there add more to my ramblins as ya get home and come off your Liz high!!.. gotta go to work in a few hours, so thats all from me (for now).
