The Stories We Say

Did anybody else get a chuckle from Vienna's tweet where she formally quit tweeting in the third person? Most twitterers never paid much attention to that piece of etiquette, but it's endearing that Vienna did, and then, when she decided that it was a bad idea, she felt the need to say so, rather than just have us think she was getting sloppy (as if!). BTW I agree, third person tweets seem excessively egocentric, and often force silly constructions. Laughing

Pfft! I tweet in the 3rd person!

...but then again I can get egocentric at times. Embarassed

I don't always do it though. Depends on the kind of tweet.

I once heard referring to yourself in third person makes you sound more professional.

Then again, thats probably while writing summaries of your CDs, to make it sound as if someone else were doing it for you. Obviously nobody but Vienna is tweeting for her.

I do rather enjoy her new tweets. They seem more personal in a way.

Why does Vienna's twitter profile list her as based in Los Angeles, CA? Did it used to say Brooklyn, NY or San Francisco, CA??

Or, am I just getting excited and ahead of myself? Hehehe... Here's to hoping she can play here more often! Smile

Ah, I see. I hope Vienna's doing okay. Didn't know that she is currently homeless Sad

(until I read Fred's Newsday post. Thanks for that, Fred!). Of course, like you guys said, the plus side is that she gets the awesome experience of globe-trotting and crashing wherever she can. This job doesn't anchor her to one specific location. LA is great, but yeah, NY definitely blows us out of the water, too, in terms of an indie music scene. You guys seem more low-key; we're admittedly more flashy here Cool

I've always called myself a Bohemian at heart and wanted to help musicians who perform for the sake of music and art. The ones who haven't conventionally "made it" but are ridiculously good and under-rated. I wish we could do something like what they do in Italy, with their Home Food network (http://www.unabellavista.com/homefoodinitaly.html). How this chain of women offers their home to travelers so they can eat authentic home cooked meals....To create multiple sites for troubadours to stay, just to lend a hand to their passions. Smile

I thought this was interesting. Vienna Teng twitter stats are awesome Wink

Cute. Confirms my impression that Vienna is nocturnal, even allowing for time zone differences. I frequently sleep thru the middle of the night tweets & find them on my phone in the morning. If I were a musician instead of a regular working slob, I'd probably be nocturnal too.
