More music

Great weekend. Last night I managed to score a ticket for the sold out Ben Folds show at the Electric Factory off craigslist. It's clear that this new band is still in the formative stages and there were some flubs, but the energy was good, the crowd was good, and they played a really great variety of songs. Since I'm a nerd, I like to keep a setlist at most shows I go to, and with my Treo it's incredibly easy these days.

Tonight I'm heading up to NYC with Dan to see Trey Anastasio at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Last night's show looked great so I'm excited to see this new band tonight. They ended the show with the song suite off the second side of Abbey Road!
