KT Tunstall

So, Saturday morning found me trying valiantly not to mope, since it was approaching 2 weeks since my best buddy left town, and I had officially hit the "I'm getting tired of my own company" mark. So, I started searching for something good to get into for the weekend. Found that KT Tunstall was giving a concert at the Cosmopolitan and that perked my ears up a bit. A little more research found that not only was she giving a concert, it was a FREE concert. I depleted my list of "known contacts in Las Vegas" all to no avail, so my next plan of attack was to go to the Saturday night contra, in hopes of meeting some nice people, have a great night of dancing, and recruit a concert buddy from there. As it turned out, the first part of my plan worked; I had a stellar time dancing and I did meet some great new people (Its hard to beat the salt of the earth personalities that always show up for contra) but, I ended up still solo for the concert. Not to be daunted, I flew home, showered, floured, and headed out by myself. What a good idea THAT turned out to be! Phenomenal concert, intimate space, and to top it off, I got to meet her after the show, as she was just hanging out in the lobby. Excellent night - and the whole day proved a very good reminder to me that you can miss out on a whole lot of great stuff when you make the decision to stay at home in the name of staying in your comfort zone. Life only goes round once - it's a crying shame to not LiVE in it!
