{ Immi }
Seeing Imogen Heap perform last night in Salt Lake City was worth another night of sleep deprivation. Although there were four other acts, she was the indisputable star of the show. All the other musicians praised her—before and after her performance—and she was the only act that was brought back on stage for an encore. As Butch Walker said (more or less), "Sometimes I think this is Imogen's world, and we're all just living in it." She is incredibly talented, and she has created a truly unique sound.Before Immi got on stage, I mustered up enough courage to talk to her and ask her about the song she co-wrote and co-produced for Britney Spears ("Over to You Now"). I only talked with her for about a minute or so, and that's mainly because I was too nervous to think of a way to drag out our mini conversation. I was babbling nonsensically anyway, so it was probably for the best. Either way, it was fun to talk to her (not to mention touch her arm and be within three inches of her face as she was trying to talk over the music). :)
One of the funniest moments of the night came just before the show, as Hillary, Ben, and I were sitting at a little café-style table to one side of the room. One of the club's employees came up to us and said, "You're one of the bands, right?"

as some of you reading this will know, i went to see immi this last week when she was in portland. it was incredible. she was most certainly the star of the show here, as well. during her first song her mic was on, but for some reason the rest of her equipment (keyboard, laptop, etc) wasn't, though it was apparently being fed through her earpiece because she didn't have an idea her voice was all we could hear until the sound guy talked to her afterwards. the crowed sensed her embarassment and cheered wildly to encourage her. like matthew said, she is incredibly talented. i am jealous that he got to talk to her, but i don't know what i would have said, anyway.
