The Most Amazing Evening
Last night I saw the most incredible thing. I was part of the most incredible thing. My lovely friend Sylvia turned forty, too. Her gift from her husband was ... (get this)...
Ricki Lee Jones.
Seriously.
Sylvia had a party at her house -- you know, the usual. Family, friends, good food. Good wine. And then, in the early evening, Ricki Lee Jones walked in with her guitar. And played in Sylvia's living room.
She started out by explaining why she was there -- she said she'd been watching Turner Classic Movies and noticing how in the 1930s people used to have concerts in their houses, real musicians playing in the living room. She wondered what it would be like to play in someone's living room. And then Sylvia's husband called.
It was incredible to hear her. She was so...well...Ricki Lee Jones. You know what I mean? She sounded exactly like herself. She played my favorites, Weasel and The White Boys, We Belong Together -- and also Christmas carols. Which was lovely, but what do I know from Christmas carols?
I was sitting right up in front. I mean, like, a foot away from her. And she was gorgeous. She was wearing red kilt with lace underneath, slit up on either side. It managed to be sexy and retro-demure at the same time (sorry boys, but the ladies are interested in these details). She had on little black ankle motorcycle boots, and I immediately wondered where I could pick up a pair. Perfect for those events where you want to dress up, but still seem ultra cas and cool. Perfect, for instance, for playing in someone's living room.
The only song she wouldn't play was Chuck E, and you can probably understand why. I mean, how many times has she been forced to play that? Every single time she's ever appeared?
Anyway, I was out of my mind. My friend Peggy said she felt like she was at a Beetles concert in 1968 and it was all she could do to keep from screaming. Which would have been a little bizarre in Sylvia's living room.
What an AWESOME birthday present. I felt like it was for me, too, because I'm still celebrating my own birthday. Don't worry about this forty thing, guys. It rocks.

I told Michael, "Listen, dude, Next year I expect Aimee Mann in my bedroom. And the year after that, I'm taking a shower with The Black Eyed Peas."
Very cool but who exactly is Ricki Lee Jones? Sorry.
The shower with the Black Eyed Peas sounds enticing.

Hi,
I've put up a site related to window web hosting its only been up a couple of days. and i'm still scouting around for information and articles that may be suitable for some of my window web hosting pages. Your window web hostingblog seems to be a good idea, I doubt if my window web hosting site will become as popular... but I suppose that depends on me finding those window web hosting articles.... A well, on with my journey - thanks for reading, hope to see you on my window web hosting site.
Take care
Steward.
Well Ayelet Waldman, quality blogging comes from people who put the energy into their blog like you have. It was a nice change to land on your blog, lots of others are junked up with useless comments and information. I put a lot of energy into my small dog houses site, so it does pretty well with small dog houses stuff. I think I'll re-create my blog because I like what you've done here and want mine to be more like yours. Thanks for the lesson in good bloggin. You get a special bookmark :)
have a fantastic day..

Hey Ayelet Waldman. Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching personal web site hosting. In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though The Most Amazing Evening is way off base from personal web site hosting I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don’t your url and feel free to visit me here at personal web site hosting. I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly. Keep up the great work.
Sad to say I just got back from a bowling tournament and decided to log in and do some websurfing. Ayelet Waldman I love your blog. I had some very good laughs. I am doing a paper on net web hosting and have been downloading information for the last hour. I don’t know how I came across The Most Amazing Evening but I am glad I did. It has set me back a little because I have spent the last hour reading your archives. If you don’t mind I would like to add you to my favorites so I can back again and read some more. Well I need to get back to net web hosting. I am almost finished with it. Great job.
p.s some very good points on your blog
Hey, you have a great blog here Ayelet Waldman, searching for info on dog training obedience I just stumbled across you. Although The Most Amazing Evening is not exactly what I am looking for it certainly got my interest. I see now why I found your blog looking for information on dog training obedience and am glad I stopped by even though this is not a perfect match. Great blog I intend to bookmark you, thanks for the read.
Hi Ayelet Waldman your blog is really great! Wow :-) As I was out blog surfing and surfing the web for detailed info on lowcost web hosting I stumbled across your blog. Obviously my search landed me here and it is a little off subject compared to The Most Amazing Evening, but I am certainly glad I did come across your blog. Did I already tell you I like it! If you would not mind, I would like to add your link to my "favorites" page to come back and read again sometime. Should you ever need it, there's lots of information on this site about lowcost web hosting. Again, great blog and keep up the great work!
Well this blog certainly is not about small business web hosting services. What the heck! I guess the internet can play some tricks on us sometimes. I have been on-line for two hours
researching small business web hosting services and came tumbling across your blog. I LOVE IT! I needed a break from small business web hosting services anyways :-) If you don't mind I want to add your
blog to my favorites list so I can come back later on and read some more stuff. Well I guess I should get back to researching small business web hosting services.
Even though my search is not on The Most Amazing Evening I am glad I came across your blog. Keep blogging away!
