Vienna Teng referenced xkcd onstage tonight!
Two of you should be as fangirlishly gleeful over this as I am.
She was a programmer, and she mentioned the "code is compiling!" strip; she said that she pondered what it would be like to be a truck driver and wrote some lyrics while code compiled. That's where Homecoming came from.
Aaaaaaaah. AND she played Grandmother Song with my grandmother in the audience. It was also such a small venue that we got to sit 5 feet from the stage and also talk to her briefly afterward, my grandma saying how much she enjoyed the show.
And ERIC'S SONG WAS THE SECOND ENCORE thanks to a very forceful fellow fan of it. That's my song of hers, and I was so disappointed it hadn't been played either time I'd seen her in concert. Especially since she's going to grad school in the fall and won't be performing full-time. So when she and Alex came back in and played it... Yes. I was SO HAPPY.
There is a picture of me with her, but since I do not carry a camera, it is in Erica's possession. (I went with Mom & Grandma & Erica. It was girls' night.)

You're a Vienna Teng fan too?

I actually found her by accident while searching for houses in Eufaula, Alabama. I had passed through there and found the most beautiful Southern homes, so I searched "Antebellum" by itself, which brought that song up alongside Lady Antebellum. I definitely prefer Vienna Teng to LA. :3

Yes, I much prefer her too. She played Antebellum the other night, and it was also the song of hers that was playing when Erica & Grandma & I got in the car to head over to the concert, so I got to say, "Grandma, this is who we're going to see tonight." (Good job, mp3 player. You shuffled things well.)
My grandma said how different it was from the music you usually hear. I wish more music like this did get radio play though.

I have to say, even if others don't like him, I think Michael Buble is a step in the right direction for artists like her, considering his singles get airplay now.
