sam_gamgeeAfter work today, I went up to Philly to see Common Rotation at World Cafe Live. They were opening for Bleu and Tracy Bonham. I met ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nakedwesley there. Unlike the last time I was Downstairs (for Carbon Leaf last year), there were tables set up and we were able to grab a table in the second row, just house right of center. Loretta was also there (which wasn't surprising). The place wasn't crowded at all and I'm sure most of the people were there for the other two acts (which also wasn't surprising), but I think the guys won a few people over. They played for half an hour - and played a mix of older stuff and new stuff, and then were out at their merch table for a while, because they had to leave early.
nakedwesley was able to get their latest two cds and we talked to Jordan for a minute or two and then moved aside so he could take care of the other fans - during which, Adam and Eric joined him. Once the line had thinned out (we were waiting to talk to them), Adam suddenly darted around the table and gave both of us a hug and said it was great to see us. And then Eric came over and did the same thing - which surprised me, since Eric's always been the quieter one. We got to talk to them a bit - which was really nice. And I was surprised they remembered us - since it's been a few years.
And then when the guys went into the back to get their stuff,nakedwesley, Loretta, and I were talking about their upcoming shows - one of which is this Saturday up in NYC. When Adam passed us to leave, he stopped about halfway up the steps to respond to something Loretta said about the NYC show and he asked if nakedwesley and I were coming too. nakedwesley said she couldn't - she was going to be in Ohio at that point, and I said that I was more than likely coming. And Adam ran down the steps and gave me another hug.
So Loretta and I then agreed to go up to NYC on Saturday to see Kate Hewlett's production of The Swearing Jar and then to go see Common Rotation. We're going to firm up plans later this week for it. I'm excited!
