Guess who got to see Ben Folds pound his keys in SLC?!?

ME!!!

And it rocked. Seriously. Rocked.

This guy has been on my bucket list for a while, so when I saw he was FINALLY touring in the States and would be in SLC I jumped at the chance and went with my sister, Kira. It was a ton of fun to hang with her and the concert totally delivered. I was stoked to hear so many of my favorite songs of his. And I was even more stoked to have him direct me and the rest of the audience. I've always wanted to be a part of that and now, I have been! And it was awesome. Here is a video of it that totally takes away from how cool it actually was, but that's okay.

Some of my faves that Ben graced us with:

Gone

Not the Same

Annie Waits

Zak and Sara

Still Fighting It

Landed

Gracie

Hiroshima

You Don't Know Me

Army

Lullabye

Evaporated

Easily one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Also, who ever thought a Ke$ha song could ever be anything but total trash?

This was pretty funny:

I LOVE the 4th of July!!! Who doesn't, right? It's just such a glorious day. It's eating watermelon, it's getting sunburnt, it's lying in the grass, it's watching fireworks, it's BBQ-ing, it's water fights and swimming, it's being patriotic, it's majestic, it's summer lovin', it's bare-feet, it's lemonade, it's Old Glory, it's baseball, it's Independence Day!

I celebrated the grand holiday by:

drinking IBC cream soda

wearing my "Reagan for President" shirt

eating a Five Guys Burgers and Fries hot dog with relish and grilled onions

walking through a crowd of red, white and blue wearing, fellow citizens

listening to some down home, country tunes

eating Nacho Cheese Doritos

watching a spectacular fireworks show in Idaho Falls

Happy 4th of July!

How did you celebrate?

"Was it all trumpets and fireworks?"

Name that movie!
