So weird to be back here

I saw Ben Folds! Bill and Dan and I went to see his show at the LC on Saturday night.



It was awesome! Because I am old, I got kind of annoyed about having to wait in a long line in the cold, and about not having a good view (at first) and about people stepping all over me and squeezing in front of me and generally being dicks. However, I got over all that within about the first 3 minutes of the show.

The last time I saw Ben Folds he was with the Five, and it was ten years ago which means I was 16; it was my senior year of high school. I think it's a rare thing to like an artist and be excited about their concert just as much when you're 26 as when you were 16. I literally grew up listening to Ben Folds. I was so happy to able to experience the concert with Bill and with Dan, who I think loves BF as much as I do. :)

On a semi-related note, on the morning of the show I got tickets for a Decemberists concert in June. Awesome! I am already totally looking forward to it, even though it's more than 3 months away. They are apparently coming out with a new album in March so hopefully that will tide me over.

I'm glad you guys had a good time! Sorry that Jared and I couldn't hang out Friday night - we were busy being total nerds playing D&D. Haha. I haven't bought my ticket yet for the Decemberists, but I will this week probably. I can't wait!!
