on saturday, kelsey and i drove up her for the hotel cafe tour concert...in short, it was AMAZING! click on this link to find out more about hotel cafe tour 
http://thehotelcafetour.com/ and click on history...in salt lake they featured ingrid michaelson, cary brothers, meiko, jim bianco, and dan wilson (former lead singer of semisonic)...i hadn't heard of jim bianco before but he was hilarious and amazing! he has a cool, seductive, deep voice, he did a lot with facial expressions and seemed really high strung on stage...this is a picture of us doing a strip tease pose with him...
he was extremely entertaining to watch...meiko opened the concert, and i don't think people realized who she was for a little while because she wasn't as well recieved at first...but later in the concert once she played 
"how lucky we are" i think people started to recognize her...she was so adorable, and definitly wins for best dressed! ingrid was super as usual, and she, ali moss (her guitarist), and meiko sang a round that she recently wrote that was so pretty! she said she'll record it in her next album next year (in the meantime i'm sure somebody filmed it and put it on youtube)...ingrid even pulled out her ukulele! she said "the hat" is written for a boy whose heart she broke which makes me love it even more than i already did! when we talked to her afterward, she remembered kelsey and me from the concert with joshua radin about a month ago! dan wilson is kind of an older guy who has apparently written songs for a lot of people...he wrote "closing time for his newborn baby" - who knew? i recommend reading the lyrics...anyway, he had this incredible hip shaking he would do to the beat while he played...i have a little clip, but i don't know how to upload videos, so you'll just have to take my word for it...cary brothers was pretty good live too, and he gets credit for coming up with the idea of a bunch 
of artists touring together! he sang "blue eyes" with everyone doing the harmony in the chorus..it was so fun to see them all on stage performing together as well as individually! overall, i highly recommend attendance at the hotel cafe tour next year (plus cary brothers told me imogen heap will be there next year!) also, for new music purchases i recommend: slow the rain - ingrid's album released in 2005...i'm not familiar with any jim bianco albums, but for songs "painkiller", or spice it up with latin rhythm on "handsome devil"!....meiko's self titled album-make sure you listen to "you and onions", a song about a hot 
dog, and my personal favorite, "under my bed"...enjoy!
peace+love
