Before you get all hysterical (I know I would after reading that title – Ben Folds is awesome!), he’s not really a fake – but this guy is.
Why is it that one always manages to find so many interesting distracting sites during one’s exam/essay period? Of course, I use the indefinite third person intentionally, as I’m definitely not talking about myself. But, if one was talking about oneself, perhaps one might have stumbled upon a site like Improv Everywhere, and discovered some funny pranks.
One’s favourites:
- Ben Folds Fake
- McDonalds Bathroom Attendant – I (during a time when it wasn’t an exam period, so it might actually have been me) remember seeing this one a while ago.
- No Pants, 2k6 – Where 8 of them got arrested for …. who knows. Last time I checked it’s not illegal to walk around in much more revealing bathing suits.
Saturday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Ben Folds playing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra – one of his numerous gigs around Australia with our orchestras recently. It all started with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, which got produced as a DVD last year. Anyway, I’m mostly posting this to link to the photos Kel and I took during the concert – we had seats in the 3rd row, nicely situated to take some good close up photos.
Ben also had a guest band in for the night – the Dresden Dolls – they came on and played one of their own songs (“Coin operated boy”), and then helped out with “Stephen’s last night in town”. At the risk of having Ben Folds come round to my house and draw a penis on my bathroom wall, I didn’t quite like the lead singer’s voice. Interesting style of music, but the voice just ruined it. I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, and blame the sound guys, cause her voice doesn’t seem AS bad in the songs on the Dresden Dolls website.
Anyway, other than that, it was a great night. If you’re a Ben fan (and you should be), enjoy the photos. If not, well… that’s your loss.
Hey guys, I know… this site hasn’t been touched for a while (well, the news section hastn’t, some photos have gone up while I’ve been neglecting the front page)….
Anyway… lots of new pics…. including:

There’s also heaps of stuff from O-Week in the 2005 photos section.
Well, enjoy…. and see you next time I decide to stop neglecting my webpage!
