no one tastes quite like you...do.

that's a line from the first song doria roberts sang the other nite. and, judging from the lack of response from the crowd (it was early), she'll probably be clowning columbus for a good long time. i can hear it now:
hey, y'all, i was in columbus, ohio, last week? and you won't believe this...i said, "no one tastes quite like you"...in a room full of lesbians...and no one said a word!
i'm sure she'll also mention the fact that she had to stop a song to tell people to quit talking so loudly. people are SO rude....i was embarrassed to be there.

fortunately, doria didn't let any of this stop her from putting on a great show. if it had been
méshell, she'd probably have stormed off the stage more than once. i love her, but she can be a bit temperamental. :)

anyway, i can't believe i finally saw
doria roberts, after reading deshi's frequent raves about her. her set was part of queerstock (which we later found out was actually founded by doria, herself), held here on saturday. i hadn't heard a thing about it until friday afternoon, when i was reading the latest issue of outlook and doria's name popped out at me (it's emblazoned on my brain, thanks to deshi). we picked up our tickets in advance, on friday, which i'm glad we did...otherwise, we'd probably have been tempted to just chill at home on saturday night.

tracy walker, alix olson, and alison pipitone also performed, but doria was definitely the highlight for us. hot, hot, HOT. i couldn't decide which of her cds to buy, so, on a complete impulse...i bought them all! when she wandered over near our table after her set, s asked her to sign one of them for me...and, upon seeing that we had all 4, she gushed about how great it was that we were supporting independent music and signed a poster for us, too.

so yeah...we can't get enough of doria. s says she's obsessed...even comparing it to my "thing" with méshell. so who knows...next week after i get back from iowa, we may drive to
cleveland in the middle of the week to see doria solo. :)
