Went to the Journey to Light concert tonight featuring the music of Jan Kaczmarek at the Royce Hall at UCLA.

The space was breathtaking, the campus otherworldly, and the attendees... geez. The only people we actually recognized were Michael York (whose hair is a lot thinner than you'd expect) and Diane Kruger who Sarah had to point out because honestly there's just nothing all that catching about her. Ain't sinkin' no ships tonight, DK. I mean, she's pretty, but so were a lot of other people there.

And then there were the weird looking people. I'll spare you the details on the audience memebers tha would've caused double takes and skip right to the primary vocalist, Sussan Deyhim. The best way I can describe her is "Bjork meets Meredith Monk meets a charismatic pentecostal at the height of a revival service." I've never witnessed anyone doing such odd things with their voice, it was truly masterful. And bizarre. And slightly discomforting. She wore a dress with an outer layer that made me think of the White Witch, and an underlayer that looked like the bottom of the front was tucked up into her nylons- it was all baggy and uneven. She wore thigh high, slouchy leather boots, and had her hair in an oval knot on top of her head. She kept swishing her strategically-place-wispy-side-of-the-face hair out of her eyes, and whenever she moved you got the feeling she knew she was hot. Which... she wasn't. I'd totally buy her albums though. Just wouldn't buy her coffee.

I leave you with the following email that was waiting for me upon my return...
