The People Have Spoken
This entry is entirely devoted to the wonderful feedback I have received from those who read my Blog diary, since I began keeping it last February. I have not used any last names. If I got your city wrong, please correct me. It's just nice for me to know where you're from in case I'm on tour in your part of the world in the future.
There are 2 sets of quotes in this entry:
1) KR BLOG QUOTES
2) KR SOLO CD QUOTES
If this inspires anyone new to check out my CDs, you can always go to my website:
www.kathrynrose.net
and sample some of the music there. If you like what you hear, you can easily place an order.
Hopefully I'll have to post a Round 2 of quotes from new/shy KR Blog visitors in the near future!
Keeping this Blog and hearing from you has been an important part of this tour for me. I try to write you all back at least once. I hope you understand if my correspondence slows down after that. There are many Sarah fans out there and only one of me, and oh yeah, I'm supposed to be working! Thank you everyone so far for welcoming me to Sarah's band and for taking the time to get to know me and my own music.

-Kimberly (Sacramento).

-Steve (River Falls, WI)
“Hey Kathryn! I'm a 16 year old fan from Massachusetts. I've been reading your blog for a while now and I really enjoy it. I don't see why anyone should take offence to it. So don't be bummed out!”
-Connie
“I find your blogs to be quite humorous. In fact, sometimes they make me laugh out loud.”
-Anonymous
“I love your blog. I've been following it ever since the Merriweather show on August 11. I think it's hysterical and I truly enjoy reading it. You can't please everyone, and if they don't understand your wit or sense of humor, tooooo baaaaad. Keep it up...”
-Anonymous Baltimore fan
“Kathryn, I read your blog from time to time and usually enjoy it. I like the wit and observations.”
-David (Philadelphia)
“Your blog entries are hysterical. It makes me feel like I've suddenly been transported from my somewhat predictable life into something akin to Keanu hanging on to the underbelly of the bus on Speed. I know I'm not really supposed to be there, but I'm not planning on leaving (except to get a better seat).”
-Jennifer (Houston)
“Hi! I just read your latest blog. I wanted to email you after the first month of reading, but didn't think you would actually read it.

-Anya (New York)
“Dear Kathryn Rose, I've been reading through your Blog and I find it very enjoyable. I've always been fascinated about the music industry and what you do when you're not on stage. I found your latest posting very funny. Did they manage to get the bathroom door unlocked (and perhaps provide a key to the driver) to prevent that from happening again?”
-Jason (Portland)
“Thank you again for your fun and interesting Blog. I read it weekly. So please don't stop. It's like my own little periodical. I had to let you know how many times I laughed out loud!

-Toni (Seattle)
“I enjoy reading through your blogs.”
-Kelly (Auckland, New Zealand)

Glad there are people to make you laugh on the road, as you explained it was tough being away from hubby for so long. I have often wondered how musicians handle being away from their pillow for extended periods at a time.”
-Katie (Tasmania, Australia)
“I just wanted to ‘Thank you’ for your daily blog that I have stumbled upon [via] the Sarah McLachlan fan site. It's nice to see how others live their lives, makes me remember that we all are human.”

Hey Kathryn,
I sent you an e-mail a few months back after your "dream analysis" entry, but I just wanted to say (what most the comments above have said) your blog is fantastic. It's great to hear stories about life on the road and your sense of humor is classic.
I live in Columbia, MO and just saw you guys in St. Louis - fab show by the way. I waved at you and you waved back, but you probably get that a lot, lol. Anyway, if you could pass on a little note to everyone (yourself, Sarah, the band, crew, etc) that the Afterglow tour is suberb. I saw you guys twice this year and everything was great - the set up, the execution. It is very clear that the tour is full of immensely talented and hard working people.
Glad to hear you get to see your hubby again soon! Enjoy your time off from the tour for awhile.
Thanks again for the blog, it's great.
Cheers
Amanda :-) (silenceelsewhere@hotmail.com)
KR-
I was at the Milwaukee concert and I just wanted to say the show was absolutely amazing. I praise you, and please give my thanks to Sarah and the rest of the band (and Butterfly Boucher and her band, brilliant!). It was such a great escape from reality. You guys are immensely talented and you are so lucky you get to do what you do every night. It may just be a job for you, and I'm sure you guys hear this all the time, but I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you sharing your talent. Fucking brilliant!
-anon. (Amy from Milwaukee)
p.s. - did you get the chance to go to any of the bars in Milwaukee? if u find the time, an email would be awesome - mayhunt@yahoo.com
Kathryn,
Thank you so much for your blog. I really enjoy reading it, and I am quite jealous of how much you get to interact with Sarah. But I know why she has selected you to be her BU, since you are very talented. I went to the Philly concert, and had great fanclub seats, and got to sit nice and close (and no, I didnt view the concert through a digital camara!!). I think you shined on Answer, Sweet Surrender, etc.
Now..I do have a favor. I was at the Good Morning Appearance you guys had, and I was the tall guy that made several signs for Sarah. The one was "Sarah...can this fan get his picture taken with you?" (which she was so cool, and came right over to me!!! I was shaking). And the other sign was "Sarah, we will provide the cake, can you bring the 'Ice Cream'" with our wedding date of October 16, 2004. We will be cutting the wedding cake to Ice Cream. My favor is...at that appearance, we gave Sarah (via her security) a wedding invitation to our wedding. I know she wouldnt come, but we wanted a response from her! (how dumb right?). Do you think you can find out if she received it...or was it thrown out? There was a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope inside...so it would just need an autograph or something, then thrown back in the mail.
Thank you so much. My email is smt150@hotmail.com. I would love to hear from you (if you have a spare moment, or are bored in your hotel room!).

Please keep your diary going for the UK and European tour - it's very interesting to see what you and the rest of the band do with your spare time (if any) on the road. I'll be especially interested to see what you and the band make of the UK and it's very inconsistent quality of hotels. I get the impression that you try and see as much as you can when you do get any spare time. Birmingham is a city I know quite well (and I believe was the city where Sarah's husband, Ash, was born)and I notice that the band has a day off following the concert there. If you do get some spare time on your day off I would recommend a visit to some of the following: Cadbury's World, Bournville ( if you like chocolate this is the place for you - a history of chocolate at the chocolate factory and lots of samples - I don't know about Canadian chocolate but British chocolate is much better than the stuff you get in the USA); Moseley Bog (doesn't sound very exciting but if you like Lord of the Rings this is an essential visit as it is where JRR Tolkien grew up and is supposed to be the inspiration for Middle Earth); a canal boat ride which sets off at Brindley Place close to the concert hall where you are playing (Birmingham is supposed to have more canals than Venice although the setting is probably not quite as romantic !). If you are staying at the Hyatt Hotel or Malmaisons Hotel in the city centre (if Lionel Richie and his band haven't already taken all of the best hotel rooms that weekend) you will be very close to a large choice of restaurants, cafes and bars (and lap dancing clubs!) in the Broad Street and Mail Box area.
I am missing Sarah's Birmingham concert due to going with my family to see the new Disney Mary Poppin's musical that night. However, I am going to the concerts at Manchester, Nottingham and Bristol.
Have a great time in the UK. The concerts here have been sold out for some time and anybody without a ticket who wants to see Sarah and her band are paying large premiums on sites such as e-bay.
Sorry this message is so long.
Have a great tour !
