Hi. I'm Nanette.
crowd echos - Hi Nanette.
I'm a.....concert-aholic.
The crowd nods their head in agreement, sympathizing with my plight. They've been there, too.
I try to stay away, but I have a dealer who is always pushing his product on me. His name is Los Angeles. He offered me shows like Maroon 5, John Mayer, Bon Jovi...
The crowd gasps!
Bon Jovi! I know!!! There's no way I could just say no to that! I tried to quit cold turkey. That worked until Ray Lamontagne came to town. I tried to gradually ween myself, but....
Someone in the audience hands me a tissue.
but then Marc Broussard announced his tour! He's coming to the House of Blues Sunset Strip this Friday AND Sunday! And....I bought tickets for both shows!
My sponsor tries to pry the tickets from my hand, but I hold on firmly.
I can't help it! I love live music! I love dancing! I love singing along! And the only live music I experienced growing up was what I played in concert and marching band!!!
Playing your own live music just isn't the same!, someone shouts from the crowd.
Exactly! So, I'm going to the shows this weekend. And then I'm going to promise to stop going see live music for a while! I'm strong! I can do it!
The crowd starts with a slow clap. One by one, they all join in.
Um, at least until Ray Lamontagne and Rachel Yamagata come to town next month.

We're all here for you Nanette. We'll help you get through this. I have faith in your strength. Of course, it doesn't really help that I'm kind of an accomplice in your battle. ;-)

I'm right there with you ... I already have my tickets to see Coldplay (shocker, I know!) in August up in Seattle. When is John Mayer touring again? That will be a must-see situation for me ...
