Wow. That's about all I can say. Just... wow.
Ani solo was more amazing than I think I can find words for. She and her one little guitar managed to fill the entire stage, the entire theatre, and make it feel like she was singing just for you (never mind the 600 hundred other folks in the place).
She opened with Both Hands. She played Out of Habit, Subdivision, Out of Range, Shameless, If he Tries Anything, Two Little Girls, God's Country, her 9/11 poem, a couple other poems, a piece she said that so far she'd only played for her cats (a beautiful, rambling long song-poem, and some new pieces I didn't recognize. She read poetry to us. It was transcendent.
Funniest part of the night? She tells a little story after playing Out of Habit... how she's in NY, underage, playing at a coffeehouse in the Village, and this kid, also underage, comes up and asks if he can quote that last song she played... in his yearbook. "Yeah sure. That was c-u-n-t... Oh, that's not the verse you meant..."***
And to top it off, we walked out of the theatre to find it snowing, and Boston Common covered with a quiet layer of snow. The only thing that would have made it better was if the bestest ninja on the planet could have been there too.
Note to self, and other Boston folks. She's coming back in November (the 19th and 20th). Who's up for a concert?
Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.
