Facebook Can Be Useful
(Sorry for the lack of posting.. you knew it was going to happen though. Name one time when I blogged decently during a semester!)
This semester has been pretty chaotic for me. With my 14.5 credits requiring much more work than I anticipated, taking lead in the development and organization of Pass 2.0hMyGoodnessThisIsAmazing for THON, a brand-spanking-new relationship, and the job hunt, I haven’t had the free blogging time that I did over the summer. Blogging isn’t the only thing that I haven’t been doing, I also haven’t been Facebooking very much! But on Thursday night, I was in a crunch.
Eve 6, one of my favorite bands from back in High School, had a free show Thursday night at the HUB. I found out about this on Monday, and picked up a couple tickets (yeah.. a free show with tickets..). And come Thursday evening, I hadn’t yet found anyone who wanted to go. But then, I realized that in Facebook, the popular social networking site, you may list your musical preferences. I did a simple search for “Eve 6” and found several of my friends who are also interested in the band. I was able to find a buddy who wanted to go with me, and we went!
The show was awesome! I hadn’t heard anything from Eve 6 in a few years (mostly since they took a break), but this concert was terrific. They only played 2 songs I hadn’t heard before (one of which they specifically stated was a new song — Little Tiny Everything). All of the other songs were ones which I already knew well and loved. I was so happy that they played Open Road Song, Think Twice, On the Roof, and Promise. I’m definitely going to keep an eye on their future tour dates, because I would love to see them again!
So the moral of the story is: although Facebook may be a great time-wasting procrastination site, it also does have some practical uses.
