Let Ben Folds Five Eat Cake

For those of you whom I met post 2001, you may not know that the answer to the following question: "what is your favorite band?" had an obvious answer for many years. Ben Folds Five. I saw them four times, including their last show together before Ben moved to Australia. Now...Ben Folds Five is reuniting for one night only in my hometown of Chapel Hill. The show, which takes place September 18th, will be rebroadcast in October here. For all you Tar Heels, tickets go on sale tomorrow here. The band will be playing the album The Unauthorized Biography of Reinold Messner in its entirety. Ben Folds, new album Way to Normal drops September 30th.

Unrelated to Ben Folds, I came across this highly entertaining blog today, (thanks to one of John's Portland blogs, This Fare City of Portland, Oregon, which is also highly entertaining). Cake Wrecks describes cakes that have entertaining topics, such as the one to the left, or amusing mistakes (for example someone printing "Happy November & December Birthdays - abbreviate Nov. & Dec. if you need to" on top of a cake) as well as some very creative and strange cakes.

So are you going? =) Love that cake, too, although the hairy chest kinda gives me the creeps.
