It’s Friday. All day long.

Many of you know that I’m a devoted radio listener. I listen to the radio all day long at work, have a love/hate relationship with my XM radio (more hate since the merger with Sirius), and someone who generally always sets her iPod to shuffle because “it’s more like the radio.”

But I’m not just a random radio station listener (well, I sort of am when it comes to XM, but we’re not really discussing that). I have a favorite Nashville radio station and I listen to it most of the time I’m in the car, except when I’m listening to CDs (often) or XM (long road trips). Basically, if Lightning 100 doesn’t play it, I probably don’t know it. Which means I’m full of knowledge about “progressive rock,” which is what Lightning 100 says it plays. That means I listen to and like a lot of Counting Crows, David Gray, Van Morrison, Ryan Adams, and various other singer/songwriter/rocker types. Sure, I might know a little country (and it’s probably going to be Big and Rich or Brad Paisley—I don’t know why!), but I don’t really listen to country that often. And don’t even ask if I’ve seen the video. The answer is always no. Unless I’ve watched it on YouTube because you told me how awesome it was.

Anyway, there is a story/point to today’s ramblings. This morning, the morning DJ on Lightning 100 said that she was going to be giving away tickets to Fiction Family‘s show on January 30 at the Belcourt. This piqued my interest, since I would like to go to that show, but can’t decide if I want/need to spend the money. (Fiction Family is a collaboration between Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Sean Watkins formerly of Nickel Creek. Really, Sean Watkins should buy my ticket because I have purchased all Nickel Creek albums and most—if not all—of his solo releases. I am a fan. And personally, I preferred it when Foreman and Sean were referring to their group as “The Real Sean Jon.” Because apparently, I like to make fun of Sean Combs. He’s Diddy now, right?) See a Fiction Family video here.

So I was interested and will try to answer the trivia question correctly this morning to get tickets because that would so easily solve my conundrum. But as the DJ was describing the group, she said it was a duo involving Jon Foreman and Sara Watkins. Nope, Mary, it’s the other Watkins sibling. So I decided to wait and see how long it took before she realized and/or admitted the faux pas.

It was 15 minutes.

(I don’t know why I felt the need to relate this story. It just made me laugh this morning. Especially since I expressed my excitement about Fiction Family to a coworker early this week and she made me feel like I was a bit crazy. And if the two of us were going on a reality show called “The Next Queen of Crazy,” she’d get way more votes than me. I think. . . )

P.S. Tickets apparently are only $20. I so should go!

P.S.S. I was unsuccessful in my bid to win said tickets. The question was about the iPhone of all things. And I am CLUELESS!
