BEN FOLDS, RUPERT AND A BURNING SENSATION

So I went to the big Ben Folds show on Friday. This was the third time Ben has played in Indy since I took my job here and he still packed the house. Who knew there was such a groundswell of Ben Folds fans in the heartland? Moreso, who knew there were so many high-school aged Ben Folds fans? I've come to realize his band-geek fan base is much larger than anyone could imagine. And his biggest fan? The Peter Griffin-looking teen behind me who, I swear to God, was playing air piano.

Then last night I went to the big Kevin Mohl and the Burning Sensation show at Birdy's. I was there for a good 20 minutes before I realized that, seated in front of me, was TV's most popular Survivor, Rupert Bonham! (Sorta pictured above!) So, for those at home keeping score:

Jared-the-Subway-Guy: CHECK!
Rupert-from-Survivor: CHECK!

And remember what Rupert always says: "When it comes to surviving life in the fast lane, I’ll be going to Caribbean Cove Indoor Water Park. You should too!"

Sage advice from a wise man.
