Want Ben Folds to come to your town? Then stop by this site and demand it!

Well, in accidental honor of John Belushi's passing (and because breakfast wasn't high on the priority list this a.m.) I had coffee and the donuts of champions for breakfast.

Can I petition for Ben Folds NOT to come to town? Yick!

It isn't like you've signed a contract that you must attend the concert if Ben Folds comes here, frick. o 0 (unless you have, and then you really should share details)

The site itself is actually pretty interesting, a sort of command performance by the people. I mean, if the artist is into that. Barb, thanks for the Monday morning overview!

Remind me to put *lots* of Ben Folds on the next mix CD I make for you, Frick ;-)

Don't you dare.

Mmm, little chocolate donuts! I just realized that I put tomorrow's date on the Stream today... I'm so excited about my son's birthday tomorrow, I suppose.

Frick, what are your feelings on the other Bens? (Kweller and Lee)

I haven't really heard any Ben Kweller or Ben Lee, Barb. I've heard OF them, but haven't heard their music. Happy Birthday to your son!
