Saw Annie last night at Sonotheque. After a ridiculously late start, Annie got up behind the DJ pod wearing a silver sequined skirt and high-top converse sneakers, and gosh was she adorable. We got a good position on the side of the pod so we didn't have to look through glass to see her sing. She kicked off her short set with "Fool for Love," then proceed to run through the majority of Anniemal, wrapping up with a slightly different version of my favorite Annie song, "Heartbeat." She seemed a little nervous and kept talking about how much she liked Chicago, and the hipsters alternated between standing around and awkwardly dancing. The two new songs she played, one called "Kiss Me" and one with a chorus of "Will you marry me?" were really good and very dance-clubby. Her DJ was also hilarious and at one point, started using his feet to spin. Good times, as always.

Up next: Lady Sovereign at Sonotheque, next Friday (lots of Sonotheque fun this month!). It's hard to judge how popular that show will be, so I'll probably show up early and hope there's isn't a ridiculously long line.
