Mel's rate:  Free.

We know she's a hussy.  What we didn't know is that she's not a very business-minded one.

Oh Ben Folds Tour Manager...

Please know that Allison is unworthy of seeing Ben.  AGAIN.  I think she has seen him 723 times in the year.  That's just plain greedy.  Send Ben abroad as we need to see him more than she does. (Whinge, Moan, Whine, Complain etc)

Do you feel my jealousy, Allison?


BUT:  There's still time for Ben to make it to Oz in time for my birthday later in March...

it's ridiculous how much favoritism the north gets.  *is tired of driving 9-12 hours to see Ben*

[Allison]

I'm not a winner for no reason. Clearrrrly.


And it would be impossible to see ben 723 times in the year. Mainly because the year is only 11 days old. and. um. there aren't 723 days in the year.


i have only seen ben 15 times. i pay his electricity bills. and come june i won't be able to see ben for probably a few years because i hope to be out and about with my own band. meaning. i'm their light whore. and then tours will have to line up/have off days. and when we're off tour. but. i'll need to be doing something. lighting people aren't on the records. that'd be weird. record the sound of a source four powering up. it does make a small noise. not enough for you to hear it unless you're next to it.

THIS IS NOT ME WRITING MY PAPER AH.

Who said anything about days in the year?  I said 723 TIMES you've seen Ben.  Still possible in veeeeeery small pockets of time.  But perhaps... just perhaps... I was exaggerating.  Seeing Ben 15 times is still 12 more times than I've seen him, including my BFF experience.  That said and despite my jealousy, I hope Ben's electricity bills are low if he's relying on the cost of your ticket to cover them! 

Enjoy.  March isn't too far away!

Not my fault you live across the oceans (two different ones).  And that Ben doesn't tour there as much. If you lived round my area and even if you didn't travel to the random shows in Nashville you'd still have seen Ben at least 10 times since silverman. he's up here a lot. that's because he sells out. and duh. they're gonna book where they bank.


and northern colleges seem to love him. and me. being a college student in the north... it works well.


i should say, that anyone reading this should also know i spend time following about other bands too. granted not as far. but. in 2007 i made it to almost 30 shows. and only 4 were ben (april 2, june 19, july 3, and december 19), and i was working at one of those.

[perthgirl]

lighting people aren't on the records. that'd be weird.

No. But they do get the boys.

From the oracle of truth that is Wiki:
Folds met his second wife, Kate Rosen, in December 1995, and married her in December 1996. She was a lighting operator for Ben Folds Five while they toured.

[Allison]

It fails to mention that they were divorced in December of 1997.

[melissa]

actually, it says that right after.  she just omitted it.  lol

[perthgirl]

I deliberately left that bit out!  Figured it was kinda obvious anyway, what with bigamy being illegal and all...

[Allison]

ooooh. I love how it's one december to another to another.

So i logged on to ticketmaster today. and look what i saw

uh? what? you would think the fact that foo fighters are coming is a bigger deal. I was shocked to see that. i've never seen ben on the scrolly thing.

[melissa]

that's nice. 
ilike.com seems to think that Ben Folds Five has an upcoming tour date.
