Ben Folds Concert

Tonight the wife, my younger brother Ted and I will go to the Chicago Theater in er... Chicago to see Ben Folds in concert. I like to see Ben Folds when he comes to town as he is one of my favorite performers and really puts on a good show. Unfortunately I've missed his last 2 or 3 appearances in Chicago. The Chicago Theater is an especially good venue to see him at because it's large and beautiful inside. The one thing that I really hate about concerts though is the smoking. I grew up in a smoking household so I dont' hate smokers and I can accept the smell but I do hate when I am surrounded by thousands of smokers and am forced to breathe in the toxins that they're breathing out. Whats more is that I leave the smoke-filled concert halls, smelling of cigarettes and it makes me want to barf. Here's hoping that there will be no smoking at the concert tonight because the Chicago Theater is a classier sort of place. I once saw the author David Sedaris give a reading there and I dont think there was a smoke issue at all. Maybe if I do get "smoked on" and am compelled to vomit I can do so on the nearest smokers. Why not? Fair is fair, right?

I got another joke off of a homeless person yesterday but I'll save it for the next podcast. It's just not worth typing it because there wont be the high hat sound after the punchline. I'm the sort of person that really needs that emphasis at the end of my jokes. Ba-Dum-Chink! Just like that.

Until next time.
