Kristin had an extra ticket for Dido so I went with her even though I’m not a Dido fan. It’s not that I dislike Dido, it’s just that besides the Eminem song, Stan, I don’t know very much of her music. But now I’m a convert. The show was really great. Dido’s stage presence was larger than what I’d expected but at the same time, when she spoke between each song, she did so in a down-to-earth way that made you want her to come out for drinks with you after and be your friend. My favorite songs last night were Sand In My Shoes, Life for Rent, Here With Me and Thank You and right away this morning I was digging in and getting more information on them. Opening for Dido was Johnathan Rice. He had a great voice but had a difficult time holding the audience’s attention while the lights were still up and people were being seated. The Chicago Theatre’s classical revival architecture and details are gorgeous.

I love that Here with Me song. Seems like it was a bit more “bassy” live though! Never had a chance to catch a show at the Chicago Theatre, looks very nice!

Popped in after Googling “new digs.”
My compliments on your photos. Closely cropped, non distracting
backgrounds, people in motion…appealing images that captivate even a surfer such as I. Far too many people snap face on Mars kind of pics. “Is that aunt Judy? “ “I think so. Let me get my magnifying glass.”

I think this officially makes you a bootlegger. Look out for the infared glasses…and John Ashcroft.

Oddly enough, when I read this post, Dido was on the radio.
The Chicago theater looks beautiful!

Shopping for Riley’s Baptism
I passed by the Chicago Theater on Thursday night as I was shopping for a gift for Riley for her baptism tomorrow. The workers there were changing the letters on the marquee and it was kind of fun to watch…

Hola Dido, quiero decirte que todo lo que eres me cautiva mucho, tu voz cautivante me relaja y me es melodiosa, hermosa como tu. Me gustas mucho con todo el respeto de tu vida privada, mas que agradarme me harias sentir contentisimo, si me respondes unas lineas. Inexplicablemente me facinas y me gustaria recibir algo bonito de ti.
Saludos cariñosos desde Costa Rica.
