Hi Daniel! Two questions: (1) What book(s) are you currently reading? And (2) If you could go back in time to attend any concert of your choice, who would you see, and when?

I’m reading Empire of Liberty by Gordon Wood as my main book and re-reading How I Conquered Your Planet by Schwartzwelder as my pool-side, recreational book (I try to always read two books at any given time).

For the second part, I know I should probably say The Beatles or Bowie or someone else who is dead, but my actual choice is Ben Folds Five, sometime in the 90s. That’s my favorite band. And I’ve seen Ben Folds (solo and with his other three-piece) about 9 times, and I’ve seen the Ben Folds Five REUNION twice, but I’ve never seen Ben Folds Five before they were famous. That’s my favorite band, and I’d like to see them when they were playing shitty clubs and begging their friends to come see them. Three immensely talented guys playing before anyone was paying them to do it. That’s what I want to see.
