What is up my friends!

So just got in to Seattle today. Its been a mad few wks as usual.

Here's an example of madness. It began when we had to make it from Chicago to New York for the Good Morning Show! I had literally finished my show with Maxwell at 7.30pm, got into a police escort and floored it straight to the airport, Caught what was a very delayed flight from Chicago to Boston. Thinking we had lost too much time and would not make it, a few strings were pulled and amazingly we hopped in a (very cool but very tiny) jet! madness i tell you...

Then we get out of the jet, its like 3.30 in the morning at this stage, only to be picked up by a crazy (but nice) driver. 20 minutes in the car a cab driver comes from the left and crashes into us. frustrated and desperately trying to make it on time, we get out of his car and into another cab. Finally we make it with 10 minutes to spare!! I don't think i'll ever forget that night :-)

 

so after the morning show went back to the airport to catch a flight to milwaukee to open for maxwell. it was a great show lovely energy in the crowd.

Next day i flew to chi town to open for Trey Songz In the House Of Blues. It was funny... i tell the audience i had the pleasure of meeting Trey today and that he was a really nice guy and some girl shouts up something to me. now when your on stage hearing what people are saying can be quite difficult. So i'm on stage i'm convinced that this girl has just  shouted at me "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" :-)

So me being me i couldn't just let it slide! i go over to her and ask her to tell everybody what she just said to me with the microphone...(got my irish getto sh** going on) and then with the sweetest smile she says "you lucky bitch" !!!!

Ain't that a story ha!

Alright i gosta go being called for soundcheck as i type.

been real peoples.

 

all my love 

Izzy

    You are the woman I'm loving your music! Your look is what drew me to you. I saw your hair and the way you look just said she is someone I'd listen to. And what do you know i was right. I wish I was in chi town when you were there for the house of blues. And hopefully I could have been next to the girl in the audience so I could have been lucky enough to meet you. Much love coming from Iraq you are the stuff IZZY! I'm already waiting for the next album and I know it will be great.

    This is a great story. Sounds like something that would happento me. Minus the concerts of course because I can't sing at all. I love your stories and how personable you are. I bought two copies of your cd. One for me and the second for my 14 year old niece that was with me when we saw you at the India.Arie concert in Memphis, TN for my Birthday in May. We are both loving it. Rare when you like every song on a cd.
    When are you coming to St. Louis?
