About Eccojedi

In case this means anything... I had originally edited my profile a few days ago, then saved it and went to look at it. I forgot about it in my myriad of tabs and then went back to it later after I forgot that I had done it in the first place... I looked at the profile briefly and thought to myself "Whoa! that guy has the same birthday that I do!"...

Yea..

I play the piano, but sometimes I play the fool. Check out my music on Myspace.

Interests

Piano/Keyboards, recording, bumming around, pretending to be useful, playing something like 35 instruments, the .org, composing symphonies, filling out lame profiles, writing songs, eating ramen, drinking coffee...

I was gonna put something about fucking your mom night after night, but I don't know if you (the reader) even have a mom I'd like to get jiggy with so I left that part out.

Heh... I said "get jiggy." That's so 90's mainstream culture. I hope no indie kids read this.

Music

Ben and his Five who were regularly known to Fold, The Beatles, Oasis, Barenaked Ladies, Weird Al, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Billy Joel, RHCP, Yoko Kanno, The AntiVillains, The Stares, the Loots, and the Lyres

Favorite Ben Folds (Five) Songs

OAD, She don't use jelly (F.L. Cover), All U Can Eat, You To Thank, Prison Food...

Hate to say it, but it's easier to point out the ones I like less than others than the ones I like the best.

For instance, I think The Luckiest is a shitty track.

Best Moment

Best moment with Ben.... Okay, I guess I can tell this to you people now. The story behind the second ben folds concert I ever went to started a few months earlier when I met the girl I would eventually lose my... wait okay, backup... too much information...

Okay, so right, there was this girl in my theatre improv class that heard me singing ben folds to myself one day and approached me about being a folds fan, and we started hanging out and listening to old BF5 albums and stuff. Problem was, she was a bit of a [not nice person] sometimes. So, we had made big plans to see Ben in Cleveland at Case Western. As tickets at the time were only on sale to students, and only she knew a student there, I had her get the tickets. So, about a week before the concert, she comes to me and says "I got two tickets, but then my friend steve wanted to come, he likes going to concerts. You can find your own ride and ticket, right?"

Obviously, this spawned the quickest breakup in the history of mankind.

Coincidentally, one of my best friends here on the .org (and anywhere for that matter), Jessica, called me and asked if she could stay with me while she was up to see and visit a band she was friends with. I asked her "while you're up here, would you like to go see ben with me?" and so we did... I got the tickets, we were off.

We got there late, and the really crappy back seat tickets that I had bought already had their seats filled, so I did some quick thinking and we went to some much closer seats that were supposed to be reserved, but instead we stood there. The plan was to get the usher to be busy telling us to sit down, as this would distract him from thinking to check our tickets. It worked, and we had great seats. I screamed "The last -FUCKING- POLKA, Ben!!" and he played "The Last Polka" as Joe DeLorenzo repaired the piano from underneath.

So the story does not end there.

After the concert, Jess and I split up for a few minutes and I met up with some .orgers. I then went with a group of people, most of them .orgers (if you were one of these, please tell me, I don't remember which ones I was with) and we found an inadequately locked door in the back of the theatre and snuck in. After winding our way around the steps and elevators, we found our way onto the stage. Thinking that this might be my only chance, I ran up to the piano and played One Angry Dwarf on it, only to be stopped by his techies and to have our group taken in by securities. After a bunch of threats of arrest, we were escorted out of the building by a very tired and overworked rent-a-cop who obviously didn't like the penis jokes we were telling about his club on the walk down. We didn't find Ben while we were in the building, but we eventually made our way to the loading dock and found a group of fans, notably Leia and her friends. We were being told by this barky old woman that Ben wasn't coming out, until she realized we weren't going away, and then she said that he would.

After about 15 minutes of waiting, Ben came out munching on a bag of green grapes and wearing a sweater. We all got chances to talk to him, and at the moment my mom had called to check up on me and I handed the phone to Ben, who said she had a cool son. I got my ticket signed, and Jess and I left. I still wonder what Ben thought about the whole breaking-and-entering thing.
