It all started where most concert nights start...at the Elbow room. On entering Elbow, Mel immediately recognized KOL on the jukebox...perfect way to start the night. We had our pizza fix and a beer then headed out to The Loft downtown. Melissa and I pull up to the parking attendant...and he said "Do you ladies have your tickets?" "No, we are just going to get them at the box office" He broke our hearts with these two small words "Sold Out". Lucky for us, Melissa is friends with Meiko's sister's boyfriend (follow?) She debated calling in the favor, but after 30 mins of texting, Peter (meiko's sister's boyfriend) was able to come through. We got on the "list" and were in. A few minutes after we got in, Meiko came on stage. The majority of the crowd was obviously there for the headliner Josh Radin...because they disrepected Meiko through her entire set by running their mouths. Respect people...
After a while I was able to tune out the rudeness and tune in to her great voice. Meiko has a really unique way of holding her mouth while she sings. Its surprising that amazing sound could come from such face contortions, but she couldn't look any cuter while she did it. I know, I know you think I have a crush on her...but seriously she is so great. And maybe I do have a little bit of a girl crush on her :) She sang her popular singles, Boys with Girlfriends, Under My Bed, How Lucky We Are. I remember hearing Hawaii...which I personally love and finished it off with a great story about an ex-guyfriend's crazy jealous girlfriend followed by Real Real Sweet. And I will for sure download this one. After she left the stage, mel and I went over to the VIP Band area to thank her for getting us in. She was really gracious and down-to-earth...hope we get to see her next time she is in Dallas. You should try too.
We stayed for a few of Josh Radin's songs....and then left. When we got in the car Meiko's hit, Boys with Girlfriends, was on XM. What a way to end the night.
