Birthday Daze...

It's my birthday... And I'll SING if I want to! Totally looking forward to Thursday night's FFOK bday celebration! I think I might sing a little "Middle of the Road"... Or maybe "Call Me"... So many options!

Imogen Heap was ridiculous! She is probably one of the most singularly talented people I have ever seen. At one point she actually improv'd a song for us after getting a key (F#minor) and melody from audience members(!) and it ROCKED! And apparently we can download it for $1 in a few days after she puts it on her website and all proceeds go to a local charity (the P-Patch Project). I mean, how cool is that?! She was so keyed into the audience, too. Apparently before the concert, you could go online and fans each city could vote for the top 12 songs they want her to play! And I have absolutely NO qualms about the choices that our fine city made either! A great smattering of the old (like "Headlock" and "Come Here Boy") and the new ("Bad Body Double", "Tidal" and "Little Bird"). Plus, I guess she is holding this youtube contest in every city for a local band to join her in singing "Earth" that then got to open for her. So that was awesome too! And you can never go wrong with the audience participatory "Just for Now", everyone's favorite tune "Let Go" and closing with the awesomeness that is "Hide and Seek". It was a fantastic concert and SUCH a great kick-off to my birthday week (thanks, seestor)!

Big plans for my birthday night, too: yoga followed by rehearsal--w00t! Haha... Not much I can do there, although I do get to block my first Audrey scene tonight which is a pretty great birthday present!

Today, in celebration, I am wearing my flounce tbd brown polka-dotted party dress from Nordys with my cream kimchi blue tank from UO underneath, black liquid Bebe leggings, thrifted 3/4 sleeve cardigan and brown & black studded NYLA wedges from Nordys.
