 Vienna Teng |
Vienna plays alongside fellow Virt Record recording artists, Rachel Gaudry and Beth Boucher, in San Jose.

Tuesday night, Vienna Teng performed at the Espresso Garden & Cafe in San Jose. She was accompanied by fellow Virt Records recording artists, Beth Boucher and Rachel Gaudry.
This was the second time that I've been to the Espresso Garden. Previously, I along with dozens others, was shooed away due to the huge throng of people that had turned out to see Vienna perform. This time, I had the foresight to call ahead, but the person on the other end of the phone just said, "Aw, just show up at the door." Not one to trust disembodied voices inside of my head, I decided to be sure and come an hour in advance. It wasn't necessary, since the place was practically empty when I arrived, save for Vienna, Rachel, Beth, and a few of their friends. A handful of other people filtered in throughout the night, including Eric and Boris, but the place was still very empty. That's too bad, because a lot of people missed great performances from all three musicians.
Here are some photographic aural moments.

Very nice Adam!
I also tend to mistrust disembodied voices inside my head.

The girl, she is frozen. She is stuck in the wall.
She is (how do you say?) so very 2-dimensional.
Let her out.
Set her free from her private hell, holding her head, holding the book, never able to drink a coffee or eat a salad.
Forever reading in the wall.
Poor maiden.
At least she has the company of this handsome stranger.
He doesn't know her secret, that she is, will always be, flat.

What about the cat! Oh, the anthropocentrism...

perhaps late at night, when the neon is silent and the kitchen has closed, if the moonlight strikes the mural just so ...

Nice shots Adam! I wish I would have come to the performance, but it's hard to get away sometimes. Tuesday night isn't always the best for going out on the town for a lot of people. Perhaps improved promotion would have increased attendance. Did that girl read her book during all the performances?? That's really rude. Go home. You wouldn't catch me doing that.

No, the "girl" is actually a trompe d'oeil painting. The entire scene behind the guy is part of the painting. It's very realistic looking!
