Posted: 2/8/06 at 8:58pmI wish I could come, but I've got my show that night, too. (And The World Goes 'Round) I'm sure it'll be awesome! (I saw them both in The Wild Party at the Hudson, and they were terrific.)

They were terrific and they will be doing a number from The Wild Party, so for anyone who saw them here in LA, come out and get another dose!

I saw the Wild Party (TWICE!) and they are totally fantastic! But I am leaving to Tokyo that day so I won't see the show 
For $25, nobody should miss this concert!

Posted: 2/9/06 at 3:05amSounds like a great show, and I saw Valarie and Jane three times in The Wild Party. Unfortunately, as an Ovation Awards voter I'm already booked weeks in advance. But I'm sure you'll be fantastic!
