a memory has been made

last night was glorious. jacob and i had yet another excursion that is not soon to be forgotten. about 6:15 yesterday i picked him up at his house to head to memphis to go see bonnie prince billy aka will oldham aka bpb. we were worried about getting to the show late since doors were at 830 and we figured he would be on about 9. the plan was to go and see the show then head back to town. we figured it would be a late night, possibly 1-2 in the morning. little did we know that we would be driving home in a torrential downpour, getting us home at 4:45 in the morning. i have never been the type to be nervous to walk up and talk to anyone ever. but i didnt know if i was ever going to be able to walk over and talk to will as he stood in the corner playing electronic poker in his flip flops and jorts before the show. after i finally did and he shook my hand and gave me a friendly smile i realized that he was down to earth and i relaxed. the opening band was simply horrific. i really didnt care for their music and most of you know that i am very open minded towards different sounds. jacob and i decided to walk around midtown and see what there was to see. we found a pretty cool alley and took some pictures there with the shutter open for a 10 sec exposure. we had a lot of fun doing that and playing cheez-it hopscotch. showtime rolled around and i began to freak out. the show last night was what i have been waiting on patiently for the last 3 and a half years. it blew my expectations away. he sang to the crowd softly and sweetly than commenced to rocking. his voice is gentle yet powerful and authoratative like none i have ever heard. after the show i got a pic taken with him (see above) and then he proceded to stand and voluntarily carry on a 20 minute conversation with jacob and i. highlights of the conversation included jacob asking him if he had the new alicia keys album, and him later telling us he really likes r. kelly and us not being able to tell if he was joking. will told us he would soon be touring under the name bonny billy and captain anomoanon. (rhymes with phenomonon) this group will be him and his brother and they are working on a bunch of songs that are all over 100 years old. im excited to see how it turns out. well i dont know what else to say other than it was simply amazing.
