I managed to see the show three times while in San Francisco and your performance will always be one that I will brag about seeing. You are such a "giving" performer and I enjoyed every second of your performance. Have you ever been given a piece of advice that, once you instilled it in your life/career, it marked a turning-point and gave you a new perspective? If so, what was it? Thank you!

what is the significance of the birthday cake at the end of the show?

was it a cake for your daughter and that there is something normal in her life or is it for the dead son still and the dad has gone very depressed

thanks - my friedna dn i are having a disagreement over this

Great questions, everyone! Keep 'em up.

I guess my question is inspired because today is April Fool's day...I know the seriousness of N2N, but do you guys ever have prank wars?

I was absolutely over the moon with your "Daily Practice: Volume 1" CD. Have you given any thought as to making a Volume 2 and what songs would you like to be on it?

Which do you like more? Touring or staying in one place for a while?

Do you prefer the East Coast or the West Coast...or something in between?

Thanks for your questions, all! Alice answered what she could before she starts up here in Chicago tomorrow night. Enjoy and thanks again!
