let me introduce you to Ed Sheeran

a few weeks ago i attended a snow patrol concert.  i attended two nights in a row...but that's a whole other blog post about stub hub fraud.  any way, i bought the tickets for netter and i.  when i mentioned the opening act was one british lad named Ed Sheeran she was even more stoked (are people still using 'stoked' to describe excitement?) to buy tickets.  i was confused having never heard of young british mr. sheeran.  

she took me back to the time we spent in a music store while on vacation in london.  she was very excited to purchase cds in said store by artists that hadn't released music in the states as yet.  one of the special cds was by, you guessed it, ed sheeran.  

i was happy for her because i know how great it is to hear favorite artists live.  the thing i didn't count on was falling in love with ed myself.  just goes to show yet again that netter has excellent taste in music (minus a few artists that i just can't embrace).  his set was SO good.  i would have been very happy to allow him some extra minutes even if it meant waiting longer for the always fabulous snow patrol.

so now i have tickets to the ed sheeran show at the bowery ballroom in june.  the tickets are currently being sold on stub hub for over $120.  i didn't pay that much and will NOT be selling them.  actually counting the days until i enter that venue that holds about 300 people to rock out with my new favorite brit...ed sheeran!  and props once again to netter. 

enjoy my favorite song from his about to be released on june 12 "+" album.
