I have no idea what the booking manager looked like, but I was SO HOT for Aimee Mann. Much like Gwen Stephani (sp?), she was a really gorgeous girl who went out of her way to look "edgy," (IMHO, not a good thing). Plus I really liked her voice. And I've heard that she's something of a Rush fan, which is good for extra points.

I knew nothing of her or her band, other than what Kim disclosed, so I shall defer the point to you.
