Oookay. I sadly won't have a review for at least a couple of days because my camera died and I couldn't take any pictures myself so my friends are the ones who have said pictures, but since they went to the following date too I'll have to wait until they come back and pass me at least the stuff where I'm present.
But, it suffices to say that while

I got to meet one of my favourite Canadian singer-songwriters a couple weeks ago, and I just went braindead, lol. I think I said a total of 10 words. (And didn't help that he's even more smokin' hot up close than he is from the stage! ;P)

And well, it's kinda the effect it'd have had with me if the guy hadn't been completely easy/casual. I mean, when one goes and shakes your hand on his impulse you go with it, lol, but I can think about at least fifteen people in front of whom I'd probably couldn't open my mouth. And who is he now? I need to know at this point. ;)

But yay anyway! So fantastic! And what a great guy -- and appreciative of his fans -- to come out and meet all of you.
Oh, his name is Royal Wood ... he's like Ron Sexsmith, with more piano? (If that helps at all, I'm not sure, haha.) I really, really dig his stuff (I actually might use one of his songs as the first dance at my wedding!), and I got to see him play recently, and then when I went up to the merch table to buy his latest EP, he just materialized out of nowhere! I was SO not prepared, lol. So I just made some weird noises and managed to stammer out a request for an autograph and "that was a really great set" and then scurried away. The worst part is he was so friendly he probably would have been up for a nice chat, but I was too lame! ;D

And I can't really blame you for not jumping on the bandwagon, GNR were a great group but considering the fallout they had it's just good for your mental sanity. ;) Actually I got into GNR because of him mostly (I liked another group he's in right now before liking GNR), so my process was probably weird, but ha, he's awesome. And really appreciative indeed, I'd have expected to be way, way more freaked out. But he was so easy that I really wasn't that much.

Yeah, GNR = a lot of dramz, eh? Also, way back in their heyday, I think was still listening to like, 'Sharon, Lois and Bram (Canadian kid's band, lol), so it's not exactly like I was at the forefront of the music scene or whatever. ;P
