In one weeks time, I will be basking in the post-show glow of my very first Theo Tams show. Next Thursday night, I have a ticket for his show at the Lebovic Centre for the Performing Arts, and I am so very excited. I will be driving to the Toronto area while his Taking It All Back tour is in the area. I plan to take advantage, and catch two or three shows while I am there. I will be bringing my Theo-stuff hoping to get it signed. You see, at heart, I am a big fan of Theo, and have been hoping to get the chance to see him perform live since first discovering the 2008 Canadian Idol winner. The first song I heard was the single Lazy Lovers, which you can see him performing live here.
I have his post-win release, Giving It All Away, as well as his pre-Idol EP, Unexpected. I also have the book that was published about him after the win. I was thinking of which songs I would enjoy hearing, and just about any will do. I really have so many favorites! I will be bringing my camera and a videocam, hoping to catch something worthwhile I might be too excited to get anything worthwhile, but will try. Here he is singing Blacklight, a song from the EP.
This will also mark my first time visiting Canada, so that is exciting as well. It seems strange, since I lived in Vermont, just about an hour from the border, and never made it there. I look forward to seeing Toronto, and am sure I will have a great time, meeting some Theo fan's I have met online!
Howard, by the time the show is over, you will be grinning from ear to ear (and that grin may stay there all weekend), totally overwhelmed, and probably squashed by a Theo bearhug after the show too. ;)
ReplyDeleteBlacklight has some awesome lines in it - "I had the best of intentions in giving you a second chance, telling myself I walked right into the knife you stabbed in my back" and "Well you sat around waiting for perfect when almost-perfect walked right by".
Looking forward to meeting you!! :)

Sue, I look forward to meeting you and other Canadian Tams-manian Devils! And I bet I will be all about the perma-grin for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteyou are so lucky. He's cute and talented. Take a lot of pics
ReplyDeleteWonder Man, I am lucky indeed. I am going to see/hear a fantastic artist, and hope to get the chance to meet him. I've been a fan for more than a year now, so it is about time! And I plan on taking lots of pictures!
ReplyDeleteWonder Man, we are going to make sure that Howard meets him! In fact, Theo himself will probably make sure! :) He knows how supportive Howard has been, how far he is driving to see him, and what a big fan he is. Theo is very sweet like that.
