Wicked Game

Last night, Kat and I went to see Chris Isaak at the Orange County Fair. For those not familiar with his music, "Wicked Game" is his most recognizable song. He has a really unique sound with Roy Orbison influence. We first heard of Chris Isaak because Kat & I went to University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA and he was their local celebrity & alumnus. Kat & I lived in an on-campus apartment and it was a sweet set up. It had 3 bedrooms & 1 bathroom with a separate toilet about the size of a bathroom stall. It was so claustrophobic in there, we started covering all the walls with pictures of men/celebrities to have something to look at. I put up a 11 by 14 picture of Chris Isaak right at eye level in front (dreamy) so he has a special place in our hearts.

So last night's show was awesome like usual. Chris rocked the crowd and always has something fun and witty to say. Another great thing he does is meet and sign his merchandise after the show. It really means a lot to us regular people that he takes the time to do something a little extra for his fans. Last year, there were mobs of people waiting in line and he kept signing until they were all done. He signed a T-shirt with a signature and you'd think that would be it but he also drew his face on mine and drew a guitar on Kat's. This year he did shorten it up with just an autograph (this time I brought his best of cd/dvd). We are gonna see Chris Isaak again Saturday at Pechanga Casino so we're excited because this is a smaller venue so it'll be so cool. More later on my fun weekend....gambling and Chris Isaak! Yeah!
