Friday: Feck the literacy interviews, something more important came up. I was driving to school this morning when I heard on the radio that Vanessa Amorosi was coming to Warrnambool tonight. The theatre here is about the same size as the Solstice in Navan, so not a chance of getting a ticket. I drove around about twenty minutes before the concert started and found a parking spot just outside-a good omen. The 'sold out' signs were up and had been for weeks aparantly. She is huge in Australia. Anyway, I had come all this way (all of a half a mile!) and decided to ask at the box office. They just happened to have one. I couldn't believe my luck.
Well, Vanessa arrived out in her Lily Allen boots and I did not know what to expect. But she rocks-far more Suzie Quatro than Lily Allen. Her hair was very Toyah Wilcox. Brilliant singer and a great entertainer. Don't you just love 'Absolutely Everybody'? , the melody, the rhythm and particularily the lyrics.I queued for an hour afterwards to get her signature and she even posed for a photo. What a screen saver to have. I was so excited that I forgot to ask for a hug!
