It is no secret that I'm a big Ben Folds fan. I follow him on Twitter, and last Saturday, he tweeted me back!!! I had a conversation with BEN FOLDS!!! EEEE!! The crazy thing is that it was about Brigham Young. It kinda made it more awesome!

Here is our conversation:

Last time in Salt Lake City my kids were photobombed by @JosephSmith. See you Wed night at The Depot. pic.twitter.com/0tVceuOXks

@BenFolds @josephsmith That would be Brigham Young.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

@kamisthoughts @josephsmith really? Oops! Sorry! And I went to the museum and everything!

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds @josephsmith It's alright. Maybe your guide was misleading.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

@kamisthoughts looks like most images of BY depict a man with a beard tho. You sure?

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Pretty sure. He has a cane and there are mountains in the background, and Joseph Smith never made it to SLC and never had a cane.

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Brigham Young didn't have a beard in his younger days.

Oops @kamisthoughts thank you! You're right. Apologies to Smith and Young. (AND Smith and Wesson) KIDS: last photo is of Brigham Young

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds You're welcome! Glad to be of service.

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds p.s. I expect an awesome discount on tickets to your next concert in SLC now.

benjamin folds ‏@BenFolds14 Sep

Sure. @kamisthoughts it's Wed night at The Depot. Solo Show

Kami Furr ‏@kamisthoughts14 Sep

@BenFolds Dang! I have book club that night. I'll catch ya on your next trip here.

Then someone said:

CheltCelt ‏@gumtreedryad14 Sep

@kamisthoughts @BenFolds Sod book club! Go see Ben!

I'm still kinda freaking out about this! Too bad I have book club tonight, or I'd go see him! I'd cash in on that discount too!

The Last Concert on Earth

Last night I had the privilege to attend The Last Concert on Earth! It was fantastic!! I had so much fun!

Here is Guster! I haven't heard of them before, but they had a good sound, and the guy on the bongos was insane!!

 Here is me and the hubs!

 BEN FOLDS!!! AAAAHHH!!! My favorite musician EVER!! I wish he had played a little longer, but it was awesome anyway!

 Dave and I got right up to the stage while they were setting up Barenaked Ladies' stuff. I love that upright base!

I've loved Barenaked Ladies since I was about 12. I've always wanted to see them in concert cause I've heard they put on a great show, and they did not disapoint!!

I laughed, I yelled, and yes, sang along! It was so fun! These guys are such goof balls!

Thanks Dave for surprising me with tickets to see my 2 favorite bands! It was epic!!
