Oh that man is ADORABLE. Is that song on any record? I've never heard it before. It's beautiful.

LolaBert-- My pleasure, love

He meant for it to be on Release The Stars, but it got cut. If you can find it, though, that performance is on a special DVD that came with my Want Two CD.

OMG!!

*breathes heavily*

Ask and ye shall receive...

RUFUS IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA!!!

Eeeeee! I'm so excited!

Hopefully I'll still be in the country when he's here...(January 27, 2008!!)

Ooooo congrats! He's coming to my little London. To my little hall, even. I'm really really really excited. I'm going to be able to have said "I've played in the same hall as Rufus Wainwright" soon. The building literally shares a parking lot with my high school... and I've played there a million times... most of the time for piano recitals and such but last November I played as half of a folk duet and hmmm. It's kind of really stupid but I feel special.

See the girl with the striped sleeves, reaching into her bag? THAT'S ME

And the man with the adorable smile, THAT'S RUFUS WAINWRIGHT and I was standing a foot away from him

GO!! GO GO GO

Even if you have bad seats it'll still be amazing I had the worst seats ever but I can't imagine the night being any more awesome.

I'm trying, I'm trying! But my friend's getting the tickets and I won't get to see him to give him the money up front until next week!!! Eeeeeek...

Haha, Dani, I saw that picture on the boards but I wasn't sure if I should show you in case it would seem creepy!

manx9shrine

My friend Jaclyn showed me that picture. She was like, "This is the cutest Rufus picture EVER" and I was like "HOLY SHIT I'M THERE." It was pretty awesome. I now lurk those boards. =p I have a picture of the girl who took that picture beside Rufus-- http://hs.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=12126...mp;id=654650353 I think that's her. Hee.

LolaBert

HOLY FUCK!!

OMG, that is so amazing! You got to see him perform?!! Was it every bit as amazing as you thought it would be?

I just realised that I can't go, and tickets are on sale now, and I'm really depressed because how often is Rufus frakkin Wainwright gonna come to Australia?

Answer: Never again

Way more than I was expecting, actually o_o It's like... the stage lights dim... the crowd starts cheering... and the band gets on stage, starts playing... I'm squinting at the guy on the piano because I thought it was Rufus, but it doesn't quite look like him, though he had the messy hair and the suit and the whole piano-playing dealy, and then all doubts are confirmed when out comes beautiful Rufus in his candy striped suit... and the lights come up slowly... and he starts singing in perfect tune and everything... IT WAS GLORIOUS and I cannot even explain it, other than the fact that it is amazing and it makes me wish I was half as good... halfway through The Art Teacher the lighting went out, but he kept playing, and I was REALLY REALLY impressed. I mean, I could never play in the dark like that... it's crazy. Oh my goodness. And the hands going everywhere when he plays Tulsa. Simply amazing I could go on forever

I'm sorry, that doesn't help at all with your situation, but please!! Do whatever you can to see him!! If you miss work or a vacation or whatever to see him it totally will be worth it (or maybe I'm a little over-the-top... don't cancel anything too important... not even Rufus is worth something really really important... though he is immensely amazing)

Ahahahaha, I did the exact same thing. I was like "Why are we not more excited and just cheering like he's a regular part of the ban--OH THERE'S RUFUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LolaBert

^^Oh that sounds glorious Claret! That really does. I don't know whether I should buy a ticket now and sell it if I can't go (because I'm not sure exactly when I'm going overseas) or just not get one and avoid the heartache of selling a ticket.

Eee!

Glad that you had such a smashing time!!
