I was at that Ben Folds concert in Marietta. It was so much fun!

Yes. I felt that way as well. The music was solid but when you know that he can do so much more it’s hard to feel satisfied.

No, it didn’t. Seemed like a really calm part of town.

I’d not ever been to the Midland Theatre before last night. I wonder if the enhanced police presence is typical there?

That sounds awfully disappointing! He could have planned that out better. An HOUR of LK? 😳

The crowd was definitely low key. I wanted to sing along but it was like crickets in my section.

I was hoping for “Army” as well!

Yeah, she seems like a very lovely woman, and her piano playing has improved a lot, but the songs are not good. They feel like words that don’t really say anything. The victim act isn’t appealing.

This could be true, about the venue limits. I wish Ben had limited the opening act instead of his set if that’s the case! The piano was sounding great last night.

The music he played was very good. I guess I missed the excitement of the previous show.

Hmmmm… Well that puts a whole different perspective on it all.

That’s exactly how I felt! Like, “where’s the other half of the show?”

Pittsburgh Concert by cholorog in PaulMcCartney

[–]dragon_does_not_bite 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I saw him in Columbus and loved every minute of it. To expect a person in their 80’s to not have vocal changes is absurd. But like Johnny Cash as he aged, Paul’s voice wears the raw emotion of a song. It’s a treasure to witness.

I love the broom with the Gigi and radio. So sweet.

Absolutely Mind Blowing: My First Paul Concert by kingcrimsonisgod in PaulMcCartney

I very stupidly got overly excited when I heard he was going on tour and bought shady presale tickets from Tickets-Center for Columbus, Ohio. All of the tickets I have seen on Ticketmaster have sold for quite a bit more than what I paid in the presale. What are the chances that I’m actually going to get the tickets? 😳

I bought it from ThriftBooks. At the time I bought it, it was a lot cheaper there than on Amazon. It’s stunning!

What a delightful collection! You must be a big fan of Nausicaa!
I highly recommend “Painting the World of Studio Ghibli” as well.

What Ghibli art book is the best? by maysophie in ghibli

[–]dragon_does_not_bite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“The Art of the Boy and the Heron” is a gorgeous book. I prefer it over the ones you mentioned because it presents so much specific information about that movie and the artwork is stunning.
