wow. where to start? yesterday was AMAZING. ben folds was awesome as usual. the show was just fantastic. i can't believe that we met him after the show. craaaazy.
some of the highlights:
the opening act. i dont really know how to describe him, except that he looked like a blonde meatloaf, and played the foot cymbal and accordian. it fucking rocked. he sang/spoke this really long coda to one of his songs about time travel. and he sang a metal version of hava nagila. and i think he was drunk
"hey guys, you dont have to listen to this, this is technical stuff...its way over your head...just give me a second. (to the sound guy at the booth behind him) 'hey, will you turn off that fan? its blowing my mane around and thats just too fucking dramatic for me'"
he threw his stool at the piano keys at the very end...in true ben folds fashion
english drummer with chip from napoleon dynamite mustache + singing snoop dogg's rap in bitches aint shit with his full on british accent + ben folds playing this really cool solo-y improv part at the end with the entire crowd chanting "bitches can't hang with the streets" = genious!!!!!!!!
telling this really long story about meeting paul simon, but paul simon having no idea who he was, that ended with..."yeah, so paul simon told me that philly was a great place to play....and then he passed out face down in a pile of blow.....no, that didn't happen" (it was a good story even though these douches kept screaming "rock this bitch", when he CLEARLY did not want to play it)
the bassist flipping out and spitting water everywhere and screaming fuck during rockin the suburbs
OUR SEATS! we were on the piano side, three people back. they were fucking awesome
AND directions guy, drunk guy, singing guy, and nutshell guy. did i miss any of our guys?
AND MEETING BEN FOLDS!!!
thats all for now. cleaning tonight, working tomorrow...but i'm sure more awesome moments will come to me later.
