Wow....That about sums it all up.  I have never before in my life
experienced  a show such as the one last night.  Saw Sarah and crew at
the Backyard in Austin last night, a perfect venue for the show.  It
was a cool 68 degrees outside with thunderstorms all around lighting
the sky at opportune times with the stars peeking out through the holes
in the clouds.  Sarah came out and really got into the whole atmosphere
and how well everyone seemed to be connecting. Sang two encores (the
second of which she came out and was taken aback by the whole
thing...and then played Ice Cream; her "one happy song...except for all
the fear".)  Its almost 24 hours later and I still can't stop thinking
about it.  In the words of a Canadian friend who suggested that we go
"Run...don't walk...and get your tickets now".  You won't be
dissapointed.
