Win/Win

Dear Boston Red Sox,
Do you have some kind of contract with Hollywood? What is your deal? Why do you do these weird and amazing things? Can I have some money? Seriously, just a little?

I'm really happy that last night turned out the way it did. I like the Red Sox a lot, but I'm much more effected by the general population's mood. And today that mood is euphoric because of those dudes, so, go sox!

As for me though, I was not watching the game. I was watching this guy:



I've loved Ben Kweller since 2003. I can pinpoint the moment I fell in love. I was in Union Square in New York and listening to "On My Way" on a sample CD with those giant communal headphones that a bunch of homeless people had probably used before me. He broke into the chorus of "I Need You Back" with a loud yell, I removed the headphones picked up the CD and brought it to the counter. Love at first listen.

So last night my friend Ryan and I squeezed past a bunch of people who shop at Urban Outfitters and found a spot against the bar in the back of the Paradise. Ben was amazing. He has a whole lot of hair and wore a white suit. My only complaint would be that it seemed short, but that's probably because I wanted him to play every song I knew three times.

**edit**
As I was finishing up this blog post my office building had a fire drill. So many stairs. So much temptation to run. Aaaand we're back.

Fun times, and more to come this weekend as Brian and I embark on CUCHI CUCHI BIRTHDAYFEST '08!

holla,
