OMG. I bet they had the time of their life I am so jealous and wish I had got to go. Ummm... don't want to spoil it, so I'll let MD fill you guys in tomorrow. I know for myself it was one of the most exciting days I've had in a long time. I felt so lucky getting 3 phone calls from Myradith, Denise and AD during the concert. I couldn't really hear her singing, because it was so loud. But I loved getting to talk to each of them and hear all the gossip first hand. Thanks guys for such an awesome experience!

As promised, here is the full report of my experience seeing Majandra at CBGB's! Sorry to say, we did not get arrested, see Brenden, or ask about Nick. But it was still cool. :-)

She played at CBGB's 313 Gallery, which is a very, very small space with a bar, some tables and chairs, and a tiny stage. My friends and I got seats in the back, but we were still very close since it was such a small space.

Our first Maj siting came during the set of the first performer, someone named Jill Gioia. She walked past us and my friends instantly recognized her. I, however, totally looked right at her and didn't notice it was her. Yeah, I'm blind.

We made friends with the people next to us, some girls who say they frequent the WSGAN board. They were very nice, they hated Tess too, even if they were obviously total Pollyannas. Then one of them starts talking about this crazy guy who posts on the board, I think his name's Rick? That was great.

Majandra started her set about an hour late, we think it's because part of her string section showed up late. She had a cellist and a few violinsI think, as well as a guy playing the computer synth stuff and drum machine. Majandra had half her hair pinned back and she looked, well, pretty much the way she does in the show. She was wearing a long jacket
thing with buttons and she kept touching herself like she was having cramps. She has really long fingers. She seemed nervous and was kind of giggly. The girls next to us screamed "Maria" and she said something like "It's Majandra." Then someone else at some point shouted something and she was like, "Where's Mikey?" But that was it for people making Roswell references and her getting slightly defensive. She performed Bruises, Tatu (with an extra verse or two), Siren, a new song called something Crack (I
forget the exact title) in which she says something about being on crack. Then in another song she says something about taking 50 pills. So, Bunny, there was your shout-out! She also did a very cute cover of Brand New Key
(the Rollergirl song from Boogie Nights).

After the show, which lasted a little less than an hour, she signed CDs and posters. The CDs were 6-song EPs. My friends and I all got our CDs signed. I got her to sign mine to MD and the ATL. I made an ATL shirt just to wear last night, with ATL on the front and the A made like an anarchy
sign. Majandra wanted to get the autograph right and I told her, ATL, like my shirt, so she drew an anarchy sign for the A too. Well technically it says "MD & thATL, Behave, (heart) MAJANDRA". My friend Denise told her she was so tiny (I didn't think she was that tiny, but Denise is 5'9"), and she was like, you should see Shiri! She apologized because her nose was running and said she was getting over the flu, and I said something like "Majandra cooties!" and she promised she wasn't contagious. Then we all got a picture with her.

So it was nice, she wasn't diva-ish at all, in fact she still seems unused to singing her songs to an audience. She was very nice, talking to everyone getting autographs and stuff. It was cool. And it was really funny meeting other crazy internet people, especially because they knew Rick. :-) It was as exciting to meet them as it was to meet Majandra, in a way.

So that's the report!

Thanks for posting what happened! Seems like it was fun!

I am pleasantly surprised at the way she acted. Front other personal encounters I have read online, she always seemed like she would be nasty in person. It's great that you all had a good time.

Hehe. I think you are very right...

Hey, is anyone going to the one tonight @ "The Cutting Room"? I wonder if it will be any diffrent...

I'm not sure if anyone did on this board, but I did get an email earlier from the NYC list and thought it might be of interest. Also, if anyone is in the PA area might be able to help out.

Wow, that sounds so cool. I guess MD ain't that bad.

if only, if only
