Thank you so much for your thoughts. You are awesome!!!! That makes so much sense what MWD says about responding in kind to a positive step but not too enthuiastically!
How about something like this--since he sent me a good luck on the concert email and the info about the contacts email. Last summer he got a pair of crocs and loved them, I thought I could respond to the "sharing retail information" vibe ...
Dear B, Thanks for the info about the contacts! I will definitely check that out. Hey, did you know that crocs started making shoes with leather uppers? [link here] I'm glad you liked the mother uckers video! last night's concert went really well, we definitely received your positive vibes. it was soooooo hot in the church but we rallied and laid it down even though we were sweating so hard!!!! I'll be seeing you tomorrow at your concert! I am excited to hear you rock out! T
???? eagerly awaiting your thoughts, LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE
You're too kind, but I will take it as a compliment coming from someone who's pretty super AWESOME themselves!!!
I like the e-mail reply- I think it's friendly and interesting- I like the link to the crocs site- he can check it out and respond with something in kind- very open!
And I love that you're telling him you'll be at the concert tomorrow. I think it will give him some time to prepare himself (in case he's as nervous about seeing you as you are about seeing him!) and it lets him know you're interested and excited about what he's doing.
OMG Lisa I am so happy I can ask you to proofread my DB'ing emails. YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL!!!!
I spent the morning packing and getting myself from new jersey to new york. I have WAY too much stuff with me... I brought like every single hot 180 outfit I own, and every friggin' toiletry I could possibly need, so it was 2 huge suitcases plus the cello and my little backpack. Luckily many kind new yorkers helped me get up and down the stairs, and a fellow festivaler took the commuter rail into the city with me and we both had tons of stuff.
I am sad that the festival is over...
I'm at my friend's in brooklyn now and we had a girly party talking about haircuts, facercise, my new bra size, etc etc, and then went out for an awesome brunch with her BF.
Now I just need to start coordinating my accessories for tomorrow...
I'm not sure if I am too late for your email but I think it sounds pretty good. Casual, fun and friendly but not too much.
I'm a recorder player so specialise in early music although I have to say I haven't played in public since I left uni. As part of my GAL I am starting to learn violin and hoping I can get good enough to play in a chamber group but that is some way off, at the moment I am still plucking open strings! :-)
Hope all is well, sorry the festival is over but keep on having fun.
Hi T! Amazing progress, I am thrilled for you. I think his emails sound kind of impressed, reading between the lines. I think he is surprised by you and a little curious. I agree that you were on his mind when he emailed you about the contacts (girl, change those damn disposables!!! Eyes are precious and you should throw those old ones away now! I have hard gas permeable, which is rare, but they are better for your eyes as they are so small and cover less surface. I am worried about your eyeballs too as well as B!). Anyway, he was up late and you were on his brain somewhere, else he wouldnt have emailed you like that.
Fantastic about going to his concert and the outfit sounds saucy! I would email him back briefly, seeing as he emailed you back about your "flyer" just say, no worries, somethig funny about your concert and then say see you at yours on MOnday and something funny about his voice or something!? Just go with light, short and witty and let him know you'll be turning up? That way he will be NERVOUS !? heehehe.. and maybe it will make him think, or maybe he will look for you even in the crowd?
Seeing as he is being so positive and friendly in his communications, I dont see how it could hurt. Its so exciting!!! And thanks for the facerercise stuff, I'm going to give it a whirl!

I hope you have a wonderful time tonight. I know you'll look beautiful!
It's so amazing to hear all the interaction you are having with BF.. isn't it? Man, it wasn't that long ago when there was no contact for months on end!!!!!!
Be your smiley, warm and caring self... you are amazing!
I went with the email I posted earlier. I sent it late afternoon yesterday and haven't heard back but that is totally OK.
Julia, early music is wild! that is so cool! and so is plucking open strings I still do it myself to orient
Ali, you think he sounds impressed??!! why??? thank you so much for your encouragement!!! let me know how you like the facercising!!!
Where, I know it is crazy isn't it?? so little contact for so long and now it seems like quite a flurry. !!
One of my closest friends from college who lives outside of NY is going to meet me for dinner before B's show and then we're going to go together. I told her a little bit about last weekend's meeting and she had an interesting obsevation that the boring clothes & weird beard might be part of his "newyorkification" and trying to blend in. I never would have thought of that!
I think I am going to start getting ready at like 4 pm... my brooklyn friend that I'm staying with has these special japanese face masks that are supposed to give your face a temporary glow for up to 6 hours. I am DEFINITELY going to try it. If I like it I will post a link!!!
One question. There will probalby be some kind of post-show hangout with B and his friends. If I am invited, should I go? I am not sure that my friend who is going with me as my wingwoman will be able to stay out that late, so I would probably be going by myself. I think I should probably go, and DB my butt off!!!
I think if you are invited, you should go. You don't have a lot of opportunities to show the new, and even more wonderful T, so you need to take them when they come! But make sure you don't try to force the issue. Make him come to you!
I still do it myself to orient
