More bacon than the pan can handle.

Yay! I had a great time tonight -- met two LJers for dinner (Chris and Vicki!), then we all headed out to a Barenaked Ladies concert.

!!!

Barenaked Ladies! Oh my God! I never would have guessed I'd go to one of their concerts! And I had a good time! And it was fun! They'll never replace NSync in my heart, but I'd probably go see them again. Yay!

The opening band, a guy by the name of Mike Doherty, was musically good, but OMG, the dude has no idea what "repetitive" means. Highlight of the Doherty set -- the opening of Guns -N- Roses' "Paradise City" segued into Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler." Much with the hilarity, and a good time was had by all. Second highlight of the night: various vocal samples played via electronic keyboard, one of which was a woman saying, "More bacon than the pan can handle." If Mr. Doherty's CD had been priced in the 8.00-10.00 range, I'd have purchased one. Unfortunately, he wanted 15.00. I just couldn't go there. Maybe I'll find a copy at Halfprice Books! It could happen.

It's 12:17 and I need to get to bed because I'm a MORON and didn't take tomorrow off!! Waaah! Gotta go to work in the morning!

In other news, I do believe I'm going to see La Timberlake when he breezes through in February. Yeah, baby!

Ska-wheeeee! You're coming to Columbus for the show? Maybe we can hook up for lunch or dinner or something before the show! :-)

Hell, yeah, I'm coming. Erin's gotten over her Justin dislike, at least for now, and I figure if he's going to Columbus, so am I.

And we'll definitely hook up.

Was it Doherty? Or Doughty? It sounds like you're describing Mike Doughty, who used to lead one of my favorite '90s bands, Soul Coughing, and now has a solo project called the Mike Doughty band or something. His stuff is sort of spoken-word-esque (though he does sing, too). One of my favorite lines of his is "I gotta stand on the corner and bellow for mush." I think he'd fit well with BNL. I'm glad you had fun!

And, yay, Justin! :)

I think it was Doughty, because it was the Mike Doughty band. Very odd. lol

Yep, you're right! I only glanced at his CD very briefly (obviousy, I suppose ;-)), so I got the spelling wrong. But yes! I Googled him after I saw your comment, and that's the guy! I remember "Circles" by SC, I remember liking that one quite a bit. I also discovered that they're behind "Sugar Free Jazz", which I nabbed off of one of my Halfprice CDs. Now, if I'd known all this yesterday, I might have sprung for the CD!

I had a *ton* of fun. I really wouldn't mind seeing BNL again. Vicki and Chris were also a lot of fun too! I wouldn't mind seeing them again, either. :-)

Glad you could come last night. We had a great time too!

and yes, there is always more bacon than the pan can handle.

there can never be too much bacon. LOL

I don't know, Doughty sounds like he knows what he's talking about. ::heehee::

But...but...but...it's JC! How could you not be up for it? It's JC!!!!! Stupid WNCI doesn't have the details up on their website yet. I kept checking all day, the bastiges.

Also, JC has *waaaaay* more bacon than the pan can handle, if those red sparkly pants can be believed. ;-)
