Ben Folds live-ish

Since this concert was like two weeks ago, I actually don’t remember too much about it.
But I do remember a few things.
I knew how the concert was going to go when I heard the teenage girls in front of me say “I didn’t even know who he was til i bought the tickets, but i downloaded one of his songs yesterday, so hopefully he sings that one”. In other words, teenage kids looking for something to do and so hitting up a concert of an artist they never heard of. The best part is, when I got in and tried to get us a spot in the front, these same girls were in the very front and kept trying to block me out. So i decided we should sit in the bleachers.
Also there was major security - they were frisking people and and checking purses etc. So that was annoying.
They also didn’t let you have anything to eat or drink - no concessions at all. How are you supposed to sing along all night without anything to drink.
I like Ben Folds, however, I’m not a super fan. So, I didn’t know about 1/3 of the songs at all, and I only really knew about 1/3 of them. That would leave the remaining 1/3 as songs I’ve heard and either wasn’t crazy about or hadn’t heard too many times. He also didn’t play some of the songs I like most, so that was a bummer. He also played this song Bryce had never heard of called “Underground” and thus I have heard it at least 10 times since then, probably more. It’s an okay song, but Bryce says he needs to catch up on the number of listens compared to other songs. It’d be cute if I wasn’t tired of the song already.
So, this isn’t an incredibly long post because I can’t remember too many details of the concert. I’m sure if someone reminded me of something it’s in my brain somewhere, but not at the moment.
Ready to enjoy the awesome weather!

    I was going to comment on the camera thing on Bryce’s post, but forgot and remembered in your part about checking purses. They never said we couldn’t have cameras, at least at our facility. So there were like 50 cameras at any given time up in the air - a sea of squares with a blue-ish glow

    Little high school girls is pretty much a given at all concerts

    No concessions?? That’s a great way for a bunch of idiotic, alcoholic high schoolers to die of dehydration. Which… actually wouldn’t be too bad.
