oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god

Just got home from the Alanis concert.

oh my god oh my god oh my god

Okay, this is not just me being a crazy fan...

She looked at me. And waved. And mouthed, "I love you." TWICE.

I'm not so crazy to think that she said that because she really loves me.

BUT SHE DID WAVE AND TALK RIGHT TO ME.

I know this because my dad actually said, "She just looked at you!" I know this because the first time I was the only one standing up (and I was only six rows away, so I was MAYBE thirty feet from her), and I had my arms in the air, my hands making the "I love you" symbol, and she pointed at me and said, "I love you too!" And I know this because the second time she did it, the lights were up, and she pointed right at me and waved really happily and mouthed, "I love you!"

So maybe I made her evening as much as she made mine.

Set list for the two-hour show (not the right order, sorry):

"Your House" (she began with this, dark stage, end table with a lamp and pictures on it, she turned on the lamp, began singing, then the spot came up...a capella, as it was in the beginning)
"All I Really Want" (somewhere toward the end, it was awesome)
"Perfect"
"Hand in My Pocket"
"Right Through You"
"Forgiven"
"You Learn"
"Head Over Feet"
"Mary Jane"
"Not the Doctor"
"Wake Up"
non-Jagged: "Hands Clean," "Excuses," "Sympathetic Character"
encores: "You Oughta Know," "Everything," "Ironic"

She wore a black slinky top with a left half-sleeve and no sleeve on the right; it was long, like a skirt, with a slit on the right up to the waist. Underneath, black-blue jeans. Black shoes. An elbow-length armband/glove (she wears that a lot). Hair down (the new bangs). GIANT engagement ring very visible on the ring finger of her left hand.

All Dad could talk about was how funny she was. She always moves her hands strangely while she sings and rocks back and forth.

What can I say? Genius is eccentric.

I would know. ;-)

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

(oh, and Jason Mraz opened for her and did forty-five really awesome minutes...and joked about being in love with Alanis; see my original 2002 entry about Ryan Adams's "I'm in love with Alanis" jokes: see? everyone loves Alanis)

(And she brought her Chihuahua and introduced him during the last encore! SO CUTE!)
