Reflections of 2011

[WildHearted]

Random memories that come to mind - the Sizzle Reel being released, Rolling Stone putting up the stream of IYD a week before it was released, the Secret Love video, the For What It's Worth video, the Moonlight video, the Cheaper Than Free video, the sneak peaks of the documentary, Annabel Lee posting on twitter, and so much more.

Seeing Stevie in Atlanta was definitely a highlight for me. I don't go to many concerts really - I only attend if I'm a really huge fan and it's very important to me that I go. It was my first time seeing Stevie live and she was incredible. Her voice was in top form, she was in great spirits all night, and she looked absolutely phenomenal. I also had an amazing time staying with my cousin (who went to the concert with me). I definitely really cherish that memory and I hope I'll have the opportunity to see her live many more times.

Another great memory was the night of the Jim Ladd interview. I listened for the entire four hours all the way through, and I remember the thread being such a hoot, as we all commented and reacted to what they were saying. Stevie was so open and candid - a great interview which I still go back to and listen to from time to time.

Other great moments were watching Stevie on all of the various national telivision shows that she performed at - The Voice, America's Got Talent, etc. I especially loved seeing her sing Edge of 17 live on the 30th anniversary of Bella Donna (wasn't it?). That was so unexpected and such a lovely treat, she really knocked it out of the park.

I also joined The Ledge in 2011! It's been a great ~11 months conversing with you all and sharing stories and info and pictures and all the rest!
