After years of almost being able to go but then not, it was about time. Wednesday night I attended what for me will be the concert of the year. Ben Folds. Not only did I see Ben Folds, but I was touching the stage the whole time. I had a front row ticket and the very most center seat in the row. All for only $12. Life is good.
He was wonderful and I loved it. I must confess that I was absolutely bummed that he did not play my two favorite songs - Army and Gracie. He played some stuff from Ben Folds Five that was really old and then some songs yet to be released.
Normally I would not consider myself too celebrity crazy. They are all just people anyway. But Ben Folds would be one exception. Was I freaking out every time he looked my way? Heck yes. I swear we made eye contact because really, I was the first person he saw. Also, I yelled out randomly when he was telling a story and he totally turned to me and responded (true story). I know, I know, it’s all crazy and silliness but I was pretty stinkin’ excited.
Did I take illegal pictures? Of course I did, and from the stage at that. Did I buy a t-shirt? Obviously. Did I get an autograph? Sadly no, sorry Clara. Here’s some of the pictures though.
Lyrics from Philosophy by Ben Folds (and I totally heard him sing this one live!)

Well, first a really neat site. I like this leave a comment and I like the layout of your page. I just want to thank you because I just heard the song Lazy Eyes on the radio but did not know where to begin to look for the song. I tried Lime wire unsuccessfully, until I just put in the lyrics ” waiting for this moment….” Phil Collins and then two other sites with what I was looking for. Yours was one. Thanks
