However, I hadn't stuck around for Ben. I had just came down from a ridiculous rush of hard-jamming, twisting, jumping, singing, screaming, wooing, spinning, shaking, hugging, pumping, exalted delirium from the one and only Rubblebucket Orchestra (commonly referred to as just Rubblebucket). This dynamic team of saxophones, trombones, synthesizers and guitars are lead by the beautiful Kalmia, whose confidence and talent had guys and girls hollering for her. My school loves the Bucket--we absolutely tore it up for them. They have performed six times at our campus now! There weren't any videos from our concert, but this was one from January 2011 that I actually attended with a whole crew of school friends, like a reunion upon my return from France! I can also see one of my friends dancing in this video!!
After their set, you can imagine that the energy rippling through us just simply could not translate to Ben Folds. I had too much fun. We went back to my house, took hot showers and then blared Rubblebucket and kept dancing to them for the rest of the night. It was such a turnaround from last year's Springfest disaster with Chiddy Bang not showing up, so I was glad everything worked out.
I'm feeling so behind and tripped up in by life this early in the week... Saturday might as well have been a dream.

Ah! Ben Folds! I love him. And while I have never heard Rubblebucket Orchestra before, their name is enough to make me love them, too, haha! I'm glad that despite the miserable weather conditions, everyone seems to have had such a blast.
I love, love, love Ben Folds! Thanks for sharing these videos (and ew, Chiddy didn't show up last year?! I love them, but that's LAME). Love everything about this post (minus the rain, but it looks like you made the best of it).
Miss you, my friend! Let's have a serious catch up soon?
