ben folds from the third row.
basically last night was easily greatest halloween ever and greatest night ever. picture it, minneapolis, 2009: after clapping and chanting for probably about five minutes, ben came out for a second encore, a bunch of us nerds ran up to the front of the stage, and i was standing mere feet from the man himself. it was during rockin’ the suburbs so the repeated screams of “fuck” rang through orchestra hall. plus ben and the pops conductor dressed as sonny and cher for the second half. and we all got sexy folds glasses as we walked in (i, of course, brought my own as always, nerd club ;) ).
afterward, we went out for thai food and saw a ghost with one sparkly glove dancing outside to all the mj hits on an 80s boom box. and the thai place had cable access on their tv!
i can’t possibly imagine anything more awesome. :)
