How wearing an Uh Huh Her tshirt causes a southern waitress to smile
原文地址：https://noramave.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/how-wearing-an-uh-huh-her-tshirt-causes-a-southern-waitress-to-smile/

No really. We drove to North Carolina from New York State for Thanksgiving. On the drive back I was wearing my UHH tshirt. We stopped for dinner at a Waffle House… Somewhere. I honestly don’t know where. But everyone had accents. Anyways, almost immediately upon entering a waitress looked at me, looked at my shirt, smiled at me, and proceeded to give me “that look.” You know, the “you’re a lesbian, I’m a lesbian” look. And then smiled and nodded every time she passed our table.
Now, this would not be much to speak of for most lesbians. But I usually fall into the category of “femme invisibility” on an average day. I dress girly. I have a fairly girl haircut. Many people are genuinely surprised when they learn I am into girls. I have only once ever in my life gotten the head nod from a fellow girl lover anywhere other than a lesbian bar.
It was weird, and unexpected, and oddly validating. And also cool to know she recognized my shirt. Good job on liking good music random southern lesbian waitress.
The strange power of Uh Huh Her.
不翻了，原文很简单~
那个，你懂的give me “that look.” You know, the “you’re a lesbian, I’m a lesbian” look我笑了

这个粉追了三场巡演~~~

Three Days of Uh Huh Her… Part one – Cleveland, OH, House of Blues
Yes, I will admit it. I am obsessed with Uh Huh Her, and especially Camila Grey. It’s almost an addiction, how much I love these ladies. I annoy my friends talking about it. I spend too much time looking at their twitter and Instagram accounts. I can’t remember the last time I went a day without listening to them. If too much time goes by in a day without at least a song, I get cranky. So this serves as your warning: this is completely biased, and my personal experience. I am no music expert, just a fan.
是的，我得承认，我对UHH着迷了，特别是cam。几乎是上瘾了，我多么爱这两个女人哟。我很烦我朋友总在说这事。我花了太多时间看她们的推特和IG账户。我记不起不听UHH的日子是多久以前了。如果一天不听她们的歌，我就要疯啦~故特此警告：这完全是偏见，只是我的个人经历啦。我不是音乐专家，只是一个粉丝而已。

Their new album, Future Souls is really incredible. It’s somehow mellow and introspective while still being dance-able. Dreamy vocals mix with electro beats and awesome guitars, creating something sexy and sophisticated, thought provoking and fun. Camila Grey has said that this is the first time she has really addressed the existential questions she is always thinking about through music. It’s amazing UHH was able to take on that subject matter, while still making me want to dance, but they did. I highly recommend you get this album, especially if you like indie-electronic-rock-dance type music. I’m not sure that’s a thing, but somehow UHH has done it.
她们的新专辑，FS很不可思议。一方面让人觉得成熟而内省，另一方面又可以跟着跳舞。梦幻般的声音配合电子的节奏，还有超棒的吉他，创造出性感而精致的东西，让人情绪激动又有趣。cam说这事她第一次把一直以来思考的存在主义的问题放入音乐之中。UHH能在音乐中加入那样的主题是很震撼人的，当然了，还是让我想跳舞，她们做到了。我强烈建议你们买这专辑，特别是喜欢独立电子摇滚舞曲的人。我不敢说FS很伟大，但至少她们做到了。

I think one of the coolest things about the Cleveland concert was making some new friends. One of the girls that was almost as early as we were was also a huge Cam lover, so we quickly determined that we could successfully share right-in-front-of-Cam space. We also determined that we would both dance like fools if we wanted to, and others better get out of the way, or chance getting elbowed. We made a mad dash to exactly the spot we wanted as soon as doors opened, and made sure not to lose it.
Instead of an opening band, they had a DJ, with the intention of getting people dancing and getting the energy up. DJ Kim Anh was a unique and completely amazing opener. I was definitely unprepared for how much I would love her set. And let me tell you what, girl can dance! She was so much fun, and clearly enjoying herself. I have not danced so much, so hard, in years. And listening to an entire room of women sing along to Peaches was just amazing.

After a short break, Cam, Leisha and Josh walked onto the stage. It’s probably silly, but I have to admit that my heart skipped a beat when I saw Cam, literally inches from me. Many women in the crowd focused their attention on Leisha, who was looking amazing herself. They are both breathtakingly beautiful. Pictures just don’t do them justice.
The show was awesome, though Cam was having some issues with her monitors. She has such a soft, ethereal voice sometimes, and this coupled with the sound issues made it difficult to hear her vocals at times. Regardless, they were amazing, and the crowd loved them. What was lost in vocals was made up for in some seriously impressive guitars, beats, and live drums from Josh Kane. They didn’t do an encore, and my guess is this was because of the sound issues. Still, it disappointed me. I can’t get enough of them.

I also stopped to chat with Kim Anh, along with my new friends. Kim Anh was seriously a sweetheart, and even handed out hugs. Before leaving, I made sure to exchange social media accounts with my new friends. Our hotel was only a half a mile away, so we had walked to the venue. My adrenaline was running so high, that I was shaking on our walk back to the hotel, my wife laughing at me the entire way. The first concert of our three concert run, and it was amazing!
Stay tuned for parts two and three!

Three a days of Uh Huh Her… Part Two, Columbus, OH, A&R Music Bar
Saturday night we were in Columbus, OH, at the A&R Music Bar. First off, let me say, what an awesome venue! There are some big garage doors that open up onto a nice patio and some really great music related artwork on the walls. The stage is up against one of the garage doors on the side, but more about that in a bit. There was a concert going on outside, in a larger outdoor venue that was attached. Some young male pop star that drew a huge crowd of pre-teen girls. Another interesting contrast to the concert we attended.

The crowd was definitely bigger, the room more packed. We didn’t arrive early this time, so I wasn’t able to get right up to the stage. I struggled a little with feeling claustrophobic, because at that point the garage doors were still closed. There also seems to be a kind of person at these types of shows, who tends to be loud, drunk, and completely unaware of how much they invade another person’s space. It could also just be me, and my introvert tendencies, that make me hyper aware of that kind of thing. I often avoid general admission concerts for this very reason.
Again, DJ Kim Anh KILLED IT. I forgot about how claustrophobic I felt, ignored the people around me, and just danced my ass off. It’s rare I’m able to do that, so it’s saying a lot. She is so good, and so much fun. I definitely developed a little crush on her. I’m even planning to find out when she will be in NYC so I can plan a trip. She’s just that good.

Between Kim Anh and UHH, the crowd seemed to get even more packed. Everyone wanted to be as close as possible. I was a little frustrated, because I’m really short, and couldn’t see over people. But once they walked onto the stage and started playing, again the music took over. I was completely entranced by them. No sound problems this time, and I could really hear Cam’s beautiful voice and incredible guitar skills. I really believe that these women do not get the recognition they deserve for the immense amount of talent they have. I was consistently impressed with Cam’s guitar playing, and I’m not just saying that because I have a major crush on her (although I may be a little biased!)
A few people were really determined to open the garage doors, and figured out how to unlock them. I was expecting the venue staff to stop them, but they didn’t, and when the doors opened, everyone cheered. Cam even thanked them, and was happy the door right next to her got opened. Seeing my opportunity, I dashed outside and right up to the side of the stage, close enough to Cam I could have grabbed her leg. (Which was tempting, but I exerted some self control) Not many people went over there, and we were really close to Cam. Two girls next to me had some cute flashing light rings, which they gave to Cam and Leisha. Cam put hers on her mic, and Leisha put hers on her keyboard. Cam was sweet enough to acknowledge the little group of us dancing and singing next to her.

This time, they did an encore, coming back to the stage after a few minutes of the crowd chanting “Uh Huh Her.” Of the three shows I attended, this one was the best. It really proved to me that the crowd can have a huge impact on a band’s performance. This crowd was seriously into it, and the energy was great. There was even a group of people from the other concert that stopped outside to listen. I like to think they gained some fans because of that.
We decided to do the meet and greet at the merch table again, and got in line. I was nervous again, despite knowing how genuinely nice they are to fans. I couldn’t decide if I was hopeful they would recognize us, or hopeful they didn’t. I didn’t want to seem like some crazy fangirl (which I am, as we know). It was one of our good friend’s birthday, and she also loves UHH, so we decided to ask Cam, Leisha and Kim to do a quick video saying happy birthday, which they agreed to do. They also commented on my messenger bag that I made from an UHH t-shirt. My wife claims they recognized us and said something, but either she imagined it, or I was so busy trying to stay cool I missed it. Either way, all three women were really nice and made us feel comfortable. I can’t imagine it’s easy to find something to say to fan after fan, night after night, with a smile, when you must be tired. I think it’s pretty awesome that they even do it, since a lot of bands don’t. That they make sure to give the fans some one on one time shows how much they appreciate their fans.

Three Days of Uh Huh Her… Part Three, Millvale PA, Mr. Smalls Theater.
The last concert we attended was in Millvale, PA, just outside of Pittsburg, at Mr. Smalls. We made sure to get there early, and got to hear sound check while we were sitting outside, which was very cool. The venue opened the doors before the band was ready, and Kim Anh was still sound checking, so we got to hear some of that too, from the area outside the main stage area, while we waited. We made sure to get to the stage and stay there, like we did in Cleveland. We didn’t make new friends this time, but I did chat a tiny bit with the girl standing next to me. The crowd was much smaller, most likely because it was a Sunday night and Mother’s Day.
Again, not surprisingly by now, Kim Anh was awesome. I danced my ass off again, and was really glad I brought a bottle of water with me! Kim Anh was dancing her ass off on stage, and I was sad when her set was done. I really want to get a chance to see her have more time, she’s so fun!

When Cam, Leisha and Josh walked onto the stage, the entire crowd cheered, and it seemed like it instantly got more crowded. Cam had some trouble getting things working, and they had to spend about 10 minutes trying to fix things, in the dark, holding a tiny flashlight. Cam was sitting on the stage, right in front of me. For the third night in a row, I was closer to her than I ever expected to be even once. I’m not really sure what the problem was, but they seemed to get everything working. They apologized for the delay, and started playing. There was a group of girls in the crowd who started yelling for Cam to take off her leather jacket, and actually chanting “leather, leather” for a minute. I thought it was in pretty poor taste, and either Cam didn’t hear them (doubtful) or she ignored them. Thee was even a loud cheer when she pushed her jacket back to scratch her shoulder. While I’m glad there were some people who appreciated the hotness of Cam, I was unimpressed with their method. The show was awesome (not a surprise) again. They totally rocked out, and sounded great. At one point, Cam started having sound issues again, and the sound girl came out and switched some cord for her. I felt bad for her, it’s got to be frustrating. They didn’t do an encore, maybe because of the technical issues.

Being my last chance, I bought myself one of the silver UHH charms (and have worn it every day since) and debated a T-shirt, a ring, and one of Kim Anh’s booby trap T-shirts, but decided I was far too poor for any more spending. We then got back in line for the meet and greet, and pretty soon they came out. One of the venue staff came out and said no pictures, only one signature per person, make sure you don’t take too much time… I’m not sure what the deal was, because people definitely got more than one thing signed, and took pictures of them, just not with them. Again, not surprisingly, they were very friendly and nice to all the fans.
We also stopped to talk to Kim Anh, who immediately recognized us from the previous shows, and joked that they should have just thrown us in the van with them. (Yes please! I will work for free!) She asked our names, and even gave me a hug. She also commented that her fuzzy blue sweater matched my hair. (This blue hair is a hit, apparently!) We talked about the different shows, and she agreed that the show in Columbus was the best of the three, and that the crowd there was great. She told me she DJs in NYC fairly regularly, and I agreed to keep an eye out and make the drive if it’s possible. Again, I was so impressed with how genuinely sweet all three ladies were.

I’m so glad I had the opportunity to attend not one, not two, but three concerts. It was an absolutely amazing experience, and I would do it again in a second. They were amazing live, and I had so much fun. I wish I could have gone to the concert in Toronto too, but it just wasn’t possible. I’m definitely feeling a little like normal life is just not exciting enough, after such an amazing weekend! It was an experience that can’t be duplicated, and I certainly won’t ever forget!
