FOTC!

So in a spurt of spontaneity, I decided to check price tickets yesterday afternoon for Flight of the Conchords. And it was like a miracle. Two tickets for $65 each in row T for the 6:00pm show. $65 is a bit steep, considering they were $40 to begin with, but when I was looking at ticket prices last month they were over a hundred. Amazingly, they were in the same row as Jessica's. It was a sign. I could go. I had to go. And thus began the frantic search to find someone to take the other ticket. After about a dozen "no"s, Andrew Dodson finally said yes! So, it was all set. He would drive me and Jess up, and we would all partake in the brilliance of FOTC.

The drive up was smooth. When we got there I was worried we wouldn't be able to find parking, since it was basically packed city streets. We could have paid $20 for parking. No, thanks. Miraculously [again!], we found parking on a curb, for free. It was just down the block from the theater. We lucked out. We were, however, kind of confused as to why we were still waiting in line outside the theater at 5:30. And still at 5:45. Once we got in, we tried to see how we could all sit together. Once again, luck played on our side, and some guys behind us said they had an extra seat. So Dodson sat right behind me and Jessica. We also soon found out the reason the concert had been delayed. Something about fire alarms going off.

And then:



They were just as cool as you'd think. I laughed so hard before the opener [which was Arj Barker, who plays Dave on FOTC] even came out. I'm so happy I got to see them.

After the concert was kind of crazy, because there were a million people trying to leave/buy merch/get pictures with Arj and another million people trying to get into the theater for the nine o'clock show. And then I started feeling really, really bad, so part of our night included running into a sushi restaurant. But then I started to feel better.

Jessica really wanted to go to Fudruckers, which was conveniently on the way home. But as we drove past it, we saw that it no longer existed. So we went to T.G.I.F. instead. And I introduced them to the amazingness that is their breadsticks. I started feeling sick again [woohoo!], but was basically better by the time I got home, which was around 11:30. I felt bad. My mom was up and wanted to go to bed.

Anyways, that is my detailed account of my day. Instead of studying for my Bio final which is tomorrow morning, I spent it rocking out with Bret and Jermaine. And I don't regret it.
