lmao

saw chris rock last night at the gibson in universal studios. lets talk about why this was a coup and a half. first, i poorly planned for this event. i wanted to buy tickets, forgot, then remembered then forgot again. remembered this past wednesday and found some but left CC at home, remembered thursday but the person i was to buy them with was out of the office, remembered friday and NO TICKETS. well duh, the show was that night. why would there be more left. he's like the best comedian around. get your shit together wyn.

i stick my bottom lip out for the remainder of the day. the best way to settle this week from work-hell and hangover central ( i mean i went out 4 times this week!) is to LOL. i convinced ryan to come with me to the gibson box office and just go for it. my live nation insider GUY said he just sent the list over and there were no seats left. i feel like he was lying. either way, fuck it.

we arrived at 745 and kept repeating "its just mario joyner" since we knew he was opening. i got to the box office and watched this guy haggling the box office agent. ugh, i bet there are no tickets, i mumbled. but i stood patiently and finally he motioned to me... "sir? any tickets left?" singles or two? "well two" and there it was, 2 tickets left out of the whole show.

WORD.

$61.00, hundreds left than what was being advertised on CL or the brokers. you know what? fuck those guys. optimism folks wins all. i knew i was meant to see that show. and boy was he hilarious. this guy is spot on all the time and he knows whats annoying right now and finds it and pokes at it like a toddler discovering her wee wee or vag. he just goes there and is not afraid to freak out the room. he did a couple times. i love how he doesn't repeat and he will make fun of himself with pleasure. he's just a funny guy and i need to see someone being funny and real.
the douches that sat in front of us, were grade A 100% douches. totally drunk and acting BE-YOND obnoxious. kissing and fondling and sexual gestures, drinking beer out of plastic guitars, GET OUT OF HERE with all that.

i cannot repeat his jokes or replicate his delivery - you know his signature style so imagine him ranting about the current state of: politics, the government, black women and men, white women and men, his life, his wife and kids and racism. yep, he's ridiculously hilarious.
see this show if it comes to a town near you, chris rock is arguably one of my top 5 favorite comedians and I'm mildly attracted to him. its because he's an Aquarius, MAYBE, and because he's incredibly knowledgeable about people's idiosyncratic behavior. god bless him, he made my friday.

went to the chateau later on and it was dead, which is the way i like it. one french martini w/ james and ryan and some fries and calamari (BAD) and i was in bed by 2a. overall, good night.
