First of all, thank you so much to everyone who came to the Beacon theater, that night was so amazingly happy… Then after, I saw so many people from my life – tons of friends and family and some people I hadn’t seen in years, and of course, tons of you whom I don’t know, but get to play to, anyway… that always amazes me… Who are ya? How can you be there if I don’t know you… hmmm… well, it’s just very very cool. Thank you!
Now… The record is coming out real soon. On Tuesday June 23rd. And Today is Sunday the 21st. Holy mother of father’s day! I can’t believe it’s happening right soon like that… yeah, i know it’s not the most poetic way to write, but i am just too happy to be poetic. Sometimes it’s just “FU*************!!! WOW!!!”

Regina Spektor checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Tuesday (May 19), talking about an imposter on Twitter (the account has since been suspended). The singer songwriter tells readers:
I found out that there has been a mystery person posing as me on twitter for a while. A long while. And that person has quite a following. A whole lot of people. Even my record label thought it was me. And it made it into the London Times top twitters list. Somehow I had no idea. And I’ve never twittered yet, in my life, so it feels very wierd. Like my identity has been stolen, or at least borrowed.
So, I just wanted to pass that on. Whoever is the other me on twitter is quite good at it, so I hope now that they get the chance to stop pretending, they will use their talents of writing and blogging in some other cool new way. Anyhow, I’m not on facebook either, though I am aware of an “official page” there. I write my blogs on MySpace and my dad posts them up, and sometimes when I can, I post them myself.

Regina Spektor updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (March 16), talking about her fifth album coming out in June and tour plans in support of it. The New York alternative pop artist tells readers:
My record, that I’ve been working on for a while now, with four wonderful producers, is finished. It’s going to come out in June! I did an interview with Pitchfork about it, and today it came out, so it’s starting to sink in that this is really happening… wow… wow. Wow! The feeling of being on a roller coaster and looking down at the plummet… Both exciting and terrifying. More exciting though… much more.
