I got 2nd row for Cyndi Lauper!

[Livia]

WOO-HOO!

You lukcy bitch you! Have you seen her live before? She's f*cking brilliant.

She was on the Today show this morning, btw. I saw Girls Just Wanna... & Money Changes Everything, but I missed the last tune. Better not have been Change of Heart or I Drove All Night. I don't like missing those.

[Livia]

Never seen her - she had to cancel opening for Cher a few years ago, after she hurt her foot in Dallas.

Tickets went on sale at 10 AM - I kept hitting "purchase tickets" from 9:58 until it finally went through at 10:01. I didn't screw around and look for anything else...I'm on the left side, 3 seats away from the center aisle. So I hope she runs around and I get to touch that bitch!

I'm also psyched that it's at the Paramount Theatre, very cushy and foo-foo, without the attitude. It will sound great. And they've got a full bar.

^ She does run around, you are almost sure to touch her! She has also laid across people's laps or kicked them out of their seats so she could stand on them.

I taped it but won't know until tonight what the last song was. Hopefully it was Shine!

Congratulations, Livia! Looks like I'm going to the Foxwoods show in October. Although I'm hoping she adds a show in the Bay Area. All her Calif. shows are at casinos so far.

Nice, Livia! Try and take pics, if you can.

I can see my seat in the virtual tour thingy! SASS!

It's the same place I saw Kathy Griffin and Bill Maher, very elegant.

It was acoustic She Bop (which I don't really care for).

BUT...great news for Bay Area fans! Cyndi is playing the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts on September 15th!!!!!!!!!! Just saw it on her website. I think there's only 1000 seats or so in the theater.

Just got 2nd row for Cyndi's San Francisco show! Must be a ledgie thing.

Ticketmaster was its usual annoying self. Threw back rows M and N. Then bought row J. Then tried again and pulled row D, threw it back, then pulled row B. Madness. Hopefully I will be able to sell my row J seats.

[Livia]

Good for you!!

Ours were on gettix.net, not Ticketmaster. I think I did so well 'cause there was very little promotion beforehand. I first found out here! And only because I subscribe to the Paramount Theatre's list, I got an email from them, saying that tix went on sale at noon. I picked up a Chronicle on Thursday, there was a full-page ad in that saying tix went on sale at 10 AM, not noon. I think that gave me an edge as well.

Anyway, congrats!!!

^ I can't wait to see her, and hope she holds my hand during Shine.

This is an awesome year for concerts, I'll have seen 4 out of my 5 favorite women singers. Stevie, Maria McKee, Lucinda Williams, Cyndi. All I need is Dolly, but don't think that's likely.
