Sat 12 Sep – Regina Spektor

Regina is so very inspirational. NOTHING could have made this concert better! She moved me to tears during Human of the Year.

Afterwards we waited a good hour and a half or so, but it paid off because she came out. Didn't get to say much outside of 'thank you' and she signed my copy of WtN. It was a magical show.

Fri 24 Apr – Hotel Lights/Ben Folds

To see Hotel Lights again with a full bad was just amazing. Darren denied my Norina request once again, so I shall guess that they do not know the song as a full band. But that's okay Darren, I forgive you. You are magnificent.

setlist:

Blue Always Finds me
dream state flying
chemical CHORDS
falling through
amelia bright
marvelous truth
anatole

Ben was great as always though the set list was lacking. Only 22 songs. But a lot of the regular numbers had small added improvs, and there was a story about a…

Fri 10 Apr – Andrew Bird, A Hawk and a Hacksaw

yesterday was wondrous.

first let me get my complaints out of the way, heehee. if you don't want to be at a show, DON'T GO. let other deserving people have those seats, please. this couple in front of us obviously didn't want to be there. first off, the old man was tall and huge and blocked my view completely, and then throughout the night kept adjusting himself to be TALLER. really? do you have no concert etiquette at all? i had to lean far to my left or right…

Sat 21 Mar – Ben Folds, Jukebox the Ghost
