Kimya Dawson.....Alex Nathan......

Hi,

I never had the uber-fan-love thing, not sure why. I like to keep things between me and my record player. I am not going to seek out my rock gods or favorite actors. However after watching Kimya perform yet another show, up close, and see how her fans react to her I might have swayed for a moment.

I wonder if I might have had some of that this weekend. I witnessed so much affection, respect and laughter at her show. I watched her ask Alex to sing with her while everyone clapped along, 20 plus people busted up on stage to sing a song from Annie and as I witnessed at the Midtown Dickens show (May 2007) a human-hug-circle took place at the end of the night. Alex and I were the tail end.

Thanks to all the staff at the Black Cat, the fans, the parents who drove and bought a ticket to stay with their 13 year olds, the 6 and a 3/4 year old who got her record signed, the two boys who stood quietly/patiently waiting for her to take a photo with them and smiled so huge when she did. The girls who handed me their shoes to be signed with a Kimya branded...P.U.! To Jeff who was wonderful, funny and well gave us a quick lesson about The Watchmen..what a treat.

Last thanks to Kimya and Alex who gave me a night I will never ever forget.

I love you both.
