Becca the enthusiasm that comes across on your blogs is so freaking infectious. I can be having the crapiest day ever but coming to Youtube and watching one of your vids is an instant pick me up. I adore the zest you have for life as you always keep my smiling. Well done!

[TomBandfield]

I will have to check out this band, the mention of Sara Watkins supporting them has intrigued me :D Lol, all I could think of for some reason when you said about Robert whatisname being "too country", is that episode of South Park - "I'm a little bit country" "I'm a little bit rock and roll" XD

[tejayce]

seeing them multiple times ... you are in a position to answer this question: how much of what they say during the show is planned/scripted?

thnx for the link and the vid!

know .. that your making people happy :)

if I could return the favor somehow someday, I'd try.

[faithm]

Just out of curiosity, have you ever been to any shows in/around royal oak? Sorry if I asked before, my memory is horrible.

[faithm]

Wow, I don't know why it surprised me that you have a sister. Did you ever mention her in a video?

[mattimus00matt]

im shocked i havnt heard the green cards on NPR..im a rabid listiner :D

that is a sweet bass.....

[ArdieVerde]

I had to watch this video in installments, like a mini-series. haha. I am thinking about going to the Bowling Green Show, I don't have to work that Friday. Do you know anything about the venue? Have you been there before?

[lisasimpson]

Haha yea I can't shut up sometimes!!

The venue is an old theater, look up Clazel Theater on google and you can easily find their site (no urls in comments grr).

I've never been there but I want to get everyone I can to that show, because they've never been there, either! I wanna pack the place!!

[keenly]

lol... excited much?.. i'm gonna twitter you something.

[lisasimpson]

Haha I am a total dork huh?? And even dorkier in your pic of me!

You are so silly!! Email that to me, would ya? *HUG*

[acferrigatosp]

It's impossible to dissociate SIA (Breathe me) from you because it was the first time I knew her (on your Vedfaw), so perhaps if you kick my ass some day, I'll sell it... haha the Greencards are also great, though I don't think about you while I'm listening to it... thanks for sharing

[lisasimpson]

omg I love Sia so much!! Sorry you have to think of me when you hear that song.

[acferrigatosp]

no problem

[P00P0STER0US]

Glad you had an awesome time :)

[lisasimpson]

Aww thanks much, babe! I know these guys will start touring in Canada sometime, we gotta get them paired up with The Duhks or Neko Case or something!! :P

[EnduranceProductions]

looks like a good time dude, i will have to look them up!

[lisasimpson]

I post at least one song from almost every show of theirs I go to, so you won't have to look far! :)

[musicshapedhole]

While it was the mention of Sara Watkins over in the info pane that lured me in (one of the top 3 all time best shows I had ever been to was a Nickel Creek show, with the others being Jeff Tweedy and Radiohead, respectively), I predict that I'll be spending an hour scoping out The Greencards at work on Monday. I'm intrigued.

That open mic night thing sounds freakin' amazing. I am quite jealous.

[lisasimpson]

Oh, seeing my beautiful face isn't enough of a lure? lmao

I got to see Nickel Creek two or three times, got them all to autograph a poster for me, that was awesome! Beta, my older dog, got to go with me one of those times, and Chris Thile thought she was so cute, I have a pic of them together practically licking each other! I wish that was me, ahhhhhh.....

[musicshapedhole]

Well, if you want to get all technical and the what not, that was clearly the first lure... but, y'know, I'm trying to not be creepy here. Just sayin'.

I'm amused that you took Beta to Nickel Creek, and that you received some almost-first-degree-of-separat­ion licking in from Chris Thile.

I was pinned against the front of the stage for 4.5 hours, and we sang Christmas carols with 'em. I had never heard 'em (or Andrew Bird) before that night. Words can't describe how badass it was...

[Xaves511]

It's great to see you so happy and energetic! I loved this video. Plus, you looked so pretty - like you were shining!

[lisasimpson]

Aww thanks Xavier! I must admit it feels really good to be making videos again.

Haha I took off the lampshade to my Homer Simpson lamp so maybe it makes me a bit glowy? lol

[masoncat1]

Good to see you posting again Beccah :)

Great video, but... - needs moar yellow lab!

by the way... you're probably responsible for 1/4 of Greencard's total revenue! From buying yourself, and spreading the word. They SHOULD thank you!

[lisasimpson]

It's kinda nuts, huh? I loved making videos, and I am finding I still love it almost as much!! :)

Aww I wish I could claim that, but The Greencards are one of those bands that once you hear them you are hooked!!

[ohiosforkillers]

Damn, if you went to Dayton you were really close to me! Lol, but we've discussed that before.

[lisasimpson]

Ahh crap I was trying to think of who I knew out that way!! Well do you like bluegrass? I'll let ya know next time I head out for a Greencards show that way!! :)

[ohiosforkillers]

Bluegrass hasn't ever really been my thing, but they don't sound too bad. I'm pretty open minded, I'd check them out. :)

[mgphenom]

FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST FIRST... oh damn I'm second... :P

SO SO AWESOME to see you posting so many videos again beccah! It's seriously inspiring! If it wasn't so freaking hot today I'd make another one myself... bleh... might as well I been at the computer anyhow... no difference from chatting up on facebook right?

[lisasimpson]

Haha second! I love seconds, though, especially with mac and cheese, lol

I am on a roll! I think I have traveled back in time!!!

[Zed2six]

WHAT !!?!?! your name is Becca? .... my whole world is a lie.

Like bboooughm can be fun.

I like learning about non-mainstream music :)

[lisasimpson]

Haha you really didn't know I'm Beccah? lol

What's bboooughm?

[Zed2six]
