 Post subject: so i'm a little late...houston show from a deaf girl's viewPosted: Wed May 10, 2006 10:54 am 
oh my gosh. AMAZING. end of story. my friend courtney and i were right in front of chauntelle at the meridian..yes, with the badly sharpie'd E's on our cheeks..it's the thought that counts really, and in our minds we were showing the love. =] she (chauntelle) is really beautiful..her smile is like A-FREAKINGMAZING. i was the hyper deaf one in the trolleywood shirt. i had so much fun doing ASL to all the songs i knew!! it was great! due to the fact that her face is not in a mic all the time, chauntelle's lips are quite easy to read. OH..MYGOSH i LOOOVED being so close to the stage..i could feel the vibrations like whoa...so i kept my hands spread lightly on the stage..and probably looked like an idiot. but that matters not..i got to see eisley in concert. i find it funny actually that when you're signing and you are hard of hearing, not deaf, people come up BEHIND you and ask you if you are deaf...if you're behind them they can't read your lips, nor could they hear the question...but oh well. yes. we wanted desperately to meet chauntelle..as courtney said "it's like at the moment the rest of the band is chopped liver." to which i replied "no, they're the onions" the conversation that ensued was one of much laughter and questions like "so..do they have bad breath?" yes yes we are insane...we were so sad that they started shooing us out of the meridian...we were going to wait...oh well...*sigh* the songs, from where i was standing and due to the fact that i am profoundly deaf, consisted of vibrations and a little bit of bassy sounds. it made me so sad to not be able to hear sherri and stacy...it stunk. but it was fun to just be in their presence and quite literally feel the music. hopefully next tour i will be able to hear them perfectly. i am having surgery may the 26th. it seems they want to shove tubing down my ears or something...but whatever. this has been a summary of the eisley concert at the meridian in houston texas. |

Haha "they're the onions" made me laugh. That was a pretty sweet account from the show! They really do have a great stage presence. I really hope that your surgery goes well and that the next Eisley show you go to you'll be able to hear Sherri and Stacy live for the first time clearly and wholly. _________________ "I cannot discuss your verses; for any attempt at criticism would be foreign to me.

That's awesome. We have another member of the forum who I think has had a similar surgery (whose name I won't use in case said member wants to remain anonymous). And it seems to be working out so far. So I hope the surgery goes well, and I'm happy that you got to enjoy this show, and proved that music is something that goes beyond the sound. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

sorry if this is a stupid question, but if you can't hear them, or hear them very well, how do you like them? like what about them do you like? just curious. |
