this weekend we went to our long
awaited diana krall concert up in north
london {
kenwood house,
hampstead--beautiful}. you would think that being august & all we would be guaranteed at least some semi-decent weather. staying true to
british style-- it rained for nearly half of it and it wasn't just a little bit it was like a
freakin'
torrential downpour. the last time i was that soaking wet was in
thailand bamboo rafting in the middle of the jungle.
i'm surprised it wasn't cancelled and
diana krall kept asking if we were all
ok--which i thought was nice of her considering we were freezing our behinds off.
besides the weather it was an amazing concert.
diana krall was more than great & i managed to get a signed
cd as well out of it.
i've loved her music for ages & it was fantastic to finally hear her live. to lighten the mood she sang a few rain songs & even
elvis costello {her husband} made a surprise on stage appearance. although we only managed to have a tiny bit of our 'picnic' during the rain breaks it made for great leftovers the next day.
so----
i'm glad we went even if the weather was the way it was. all the mud, rain & freezing cold make for a much better story & memories! can't wait till next year!
