Storm Large - Crazy Enough

We love Storm Large! We, like so many people, started tracking her when she first appeared on Rockstar Supernova. Some of you may know that my husband won a contest with that show that brought us down to Los Angeles for the tapping of the final show and the cast party. At the party, we met most of the "contestants." Most. We did not meet Lucas Rossi (not that we cared) or Portland, OR's own Storm Large (which we were really bummed about).

The following February, we found out that Storm was going to be up in Seattle at a local club. We immediately got tickets even though the club scene is not our scene. The show was phenominal and Rob gave her the pictures he did for the Rockstar show that he was unable to give her earlier.

We have since made trips to Portland on several occasions just to see Ms. Large. Twice we've been to the Wonder Ballroom to see her concerts, and twice now we've been to Portland Center Stage to see her - once in Cabaret (totally awesome!) and yesterday to see Crazy Enough.

I can't say enough about how GOOD CE was. It's basically about Storm's own life. It's got laughter and tears...and a lot of wisdom. It's not for the feignt of heart. As Storm says in CE, "My mouth cop was killed in the line of duty." She tells you exactly what she's thinking - without censors.

Storm is larger than life, but surprisingly in touch with herself and down to earth. She's a truly gifted singer who will never fit in with mainstream anything, a wonderfully talented performer, and a beautiful human being.
