Ben Folds

I had such a great night last night!  I was fortunate enough (thanks Alivia) to have a ticket to go see Ben Folds at the Orpheum Theatre, in Boston.  This was the 3rd or 4th time that I have had the opportunity to go to a Ben Folds concert and he just doesn't disappoint.  He is hilarious, entertaining and just unreal on the piano.

I have also been very lucky with opening acts lately.  Lady Danville was the opener and they were awesome. A very unique sound that actually reminded me a bit of Guster, but they also killed it.  It was a really great night, it got me away from campus and since I was going to the show alone it was just a very relaxing night.

I had not really listened to Ben in a while so it really sent me back in time a few years.  It's funny how music can do that to you.  When you reflect back on certain periods of time, you almost have a soundtrack playing in the background.  No matter when I hear certain bands or songs I can almost bring that to a certain time period.  Guster was all through high school and seemed to be the summer time between college semesters.  Ben Folds had much to do with my first two years of college until Jimmy Eat World runs right through the second semester of my junior year.  I distinctly remember being on the beach in Florida listening to the Futures album on my ipod.  Everytime i hear the song 23, I can think of exactly what I was doing at the time, crazy!  Jack's Mannequin entered into my life right at the beginning of my senior year, I can remember being on the bus getting ready for a baseball game against Northeastern and listening to 'Dark Blue' over and over again.  It is so cool how music can do this to a person.  It's 3 minutes of a song but you can distinguish exactly what kind of memories flow through your mind when it graces your mix!

Anyways, below are a couple pictures from last night! Stay tuned, some videos will be posted shortly!
