I was Joseph! Yes, yes. Sorry, I think I promised to talk to you after the show, but I left in a hurry because I was annoyed with the crowd and didn't want to be around those people anymore. The recording is okay. I will try to figure out a way to get it to you good people when I'm back in the U.S. in a month (my Internet connection here is terrible, thus doing anything online is impossible). I also want to get a copy to Troy, so I'll work on that as well when I am back in the loving bosom of New Orleans.
I know the "loud fat bitch" you speak of. I noticed her during the truly awful opening act (incidentally, a lot of people in the crowd appeared to be friends with that guy, which is probably why they were quiet and respectful during his set and loud and obnoxious during Troy's) -- she was being an idiot, so it was hard not to take notice of her. Oddly enough, she was a huge TVB fan (and not just because she was fat!) who told Troy after the show that she owned both his CD and his book. That shocked me. I guess you never can tell... Anyway, she asked to buy new stuff and Troy told her his second album was recorded with a band that he will be touring with whenever the album gets released. So there's some news! Troy also mentioned to me that "Jesus Cried" was written by Bonnie Raitt, which shocked me (who knew?); further investigation via the Interweb has revealed that the song in question is actually called "Too Long at the Fair." How 'bout that! TVB should cover "Give 'Em Something to Talk About" next!
What hotel did you stay at? I'm thinking that all of us were staying in the same place! Or across the street from each other.
Well, I fucked up my train ticket to Toulouse (got it for the 9th instead of the 8th!) and now I gotta go to the station tomorrow to sort things out. Argh! I hope I can still make the Toulouse show cos it will be the last TVB show I can see while I'm in France.
