All those tweets below, in the post just previous to this: that was the Ingrid Michaelson concert we went to last night at the 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was sold out. We had purchased our tickets early in October, as soon as they went on sale. Even so, the line went around the block, all of us waiting to get into the theatre. And it was one of those everyone-stands-up concerts, which I haven't been to in years because of my bad back. Eep! A nice man who works at the 20th Century found me a chair, so I was able to sit off and on--other times I stood up to see better. :-)

The crowd was mostly college-age, which made us three feel ooold. :-P The one thing that was bad was the disrespect that the crowd showed the opening acts (talking the entire time); and later on during Ingrid's performance, there were some girls behind B. that kept talking. He told me later he was tempted to turn around and dump his bottle of water on them!

Anyway, the second opening act (yes, there were two opening acts!) did seem to go on forEVer. The main act didn't get started until 9:45pm!

But it was sooo worth the wait! Ingrid Michaelson is so talented! She is a singer-songwriter with an incredible voice, she plays ukulele, keyboards, and even DRUMS! She writes amazing and wonderful songs! It was a high-energy, fun, wonderful concert! And there was lots of audience participation.

So even though the start of the evening wasn't so good, Ingrid's part of it was GREAT! And B. bought all three of her CDs for us, and I bought a tour poster.

Here are two photos Cat'r took with his phone camera: Ingrid at the keyboard and Ingrid on the ukulele. Click on "View full size" to see them lots larger.

All in all, a great evening!
