(no subject)
There are so many more details that I need to write here because it just adds to the awesomeness (name-dropping Huddersfield! Marching bands! Watch out for Heathcliff!) but I haven't had home internet for nearly two weeks and I'm typing this before everyone at work gets in so:
rebecca_star and I went to see Lucy Wainwright Roche at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester (little venue, basically a weirdly-decored bar with a stage). She was fantastic and utterly adorable and very engaging, just like I thought she would be. And it was just her and her acoustic and her (frigging ridiculously) pitch-perfect voice. AND OH MY GOD LAST NIGHT BEARDED!RUFUS WAINWRIGHT whose opera, Prima Donna is opening tomorrow and weekend and I are going to see next Tuesday WAS STOOD RIGHT BEHIND REBS AND I (WITH HIS AWESOMELY TALL, MUSTACHIOED BOYFRIEND) WATCHING LUCY PERFORM.
Rufus isn't my favourite Wainwright (he was second to Martha before last night, and now he's third to Lucy) but when Rebs informed me it was him (via writing on her phone for subtlety lol) my stomach just flipped and my heart pounded and my knees didn't stop shaking for two songs. Oh. My. God. Most bizarre and awesome thing ever, plus we got to meet him for all of five seconds before he was rushed off and then we bought CDs from Lucy and talked a little longer. :D
I adore this entire family. (Except Loudon.)
