The Gardener discovered a couple of weeks ago that her absolute fav singer India.Aire was opening for John Legend in Omaha on 8/21. Funny thing, John Legend was playing KC on 8/22, but without India.
The Gardener hoofed it up to Omaha, picked up The Teacher and off they went for a Girl's Night Out. AWESOME seats at the Orpheum Theater....1st row in the upper section (cha-ching)...a perfect view of the stage (and Mr. Legend when he ripped his shirt off). After displaying respectful stalker behavior (hey - it worked on Derek Jeter) Miss India did give a look up and wave to The Gardener, this tickled TGa and The Teacher. And then it was that moment all admirers/stalkers/crazy people live for - India announced she'd be in the lobby signing autographs before Mr. Legend came out. Sure enough, not only did TGa get a wave from India, TGa MET India, talked with India, shook India's hand, shared how she discovered India, introduced The Teacher and shared that story (and how India's songs Strength, Courage and Wisdom and I am Not My Hair were inspirational) and even received India's autograph! Whew - what a night!
Next mission: to see India as the headliner. Her music was absolutely fabulous live and the meet and greet was such a bonus (as was Mr. Legend)!
Don't know what India sings? Chances are if you just pulled up this blog, you're listening to her right now.
Here's a shout out to The Teacher for a fabulous GNO!
