Feisty Sue

My friend Sue turned me on to Feist a few months ago. I had heard a couple of her songs on the radio, but had no idea how great she really was until seeing her show last night with Sue. We were totally blown away by her pitch-perfect voice, her cute attitude and her rockin guitar playing. The concert was at Hammerstein Ballroom at 8:00 p.m., so we decided to grab a bite to eat before the show. Here's where the craziness started. There was a homeless and CRAZY woman who kept coming by the restaurant, staring into the window and then knocking until someone came out and told her to leave. She repeated this every 20 or so minutes. I might have felt bad for her if she weren't so annoying. Just as we were beginning to enjoy our dinner, something else outside grabbed our attention. There was a crowd of about 8 people, dressed in all white feathers, walking down the street on stilts. From the view of the restaurant window, all you could see was stilts and feathered bottoms walking down the sidewalk. When we thought the night couldn't get any funnier, a homeless man complimented Sue's bag by saying "damn girl, that is one fabulous bag". A homeless man with great fashion sense. Only in NY. It was a great night with a great friend. If you haven't heard Leslie Feist, you MUST check her out.
