Ok so I saw Nine Inch Nails last night in NY. I had to go to the NY show b/c they're playing in Philly the same night that Wawapalooza starts. But it was an amazing show! Rachel and I got there right before NIN went on. So we skipped the opening act. Which is fine by me b/c I hate opening acts. They put on the greatest light/video stage show I've ever seen. He really put a lot in to it. And two hours later, I was satisfied. I was bitching about how tickets were $75, but it was worth every penny. After seeing all the tech that went in to it, I can see why they cost so much. I wasn't able to take pictures b/c we were too far away. So I stole some off the band's website. During this part, they just had the three guys with synths and did songs from Year Zero. Which is just crazy noises and sounds that make songs. So it was really cool to see as compared to the regular band playing. This part was my favorite. These lights hung down and then during the chorus they would start swinging around. He released a cd called "Ghosts I-IV" and it was all instrumental. So during this part, he came out and did a couple songs from it and it was so awesome. Just to sit and watch was so cool. They had all these orchestral instruments and it was amazing. This part was awesome. This video screen came down with these squares. The drummer came and pushed a couple of them and they turned red. Then a little white square would go from left to right and everytime it would hit the red part, it would be a drum beat. And he lined it up just right to play the drums for the song that the rest of the band started playing. It was so cool! There was so many other things that he did that there are no pictures of. There was one time where the screen came down in front of the band and it was all snow like on a tv. And when he walked up close to it, it would clear and you could see him behind it. Then he would take his hand and "throw" the clear part over to his bandmates standing next to him. It was wild! I loved it!
I'm writing in pink for a reason! I found out today that Tim and Rebecca are having a girl! So this is exciting. We all knew they were gonna have a girl. My mom called it a while ago. So I'm going to be an uncle for the first time. And not only that, but I am also going to be the godfather. So this is a lot for me to handle and it's not even my baby! But I will say that this will be a very spoiled kid. Haha I was hoping that I was going to be buying boy's stuff b/c that's easy. So I might need some help buying little girl things. (I'm looking at you, Dana.)
It's the middle of August. This is a crazy month. I had my show at Comix in NY last Saturday. It went really well and I even ordered the dvd. So I'm excited to have a new video with some new stuff on it. I'm due for a new one since the two of my stand up online are old and boring! And this Friday, I will be taping another set for Comcast on demand. I'm very excited. I got new stuff for that too. I'm thinking about trying out a new joke that I just wrote last week about my parents. I told them about it and made sure it was ok with them. My mom said alright but I know that she's a little nervous. My dad doesn't care. But judging from the last time I was on Comcast, he'll be happy. Everywhere we went, he had to ask people if they had Comcast, and if they did, he would put it on. lol Example: At Chrissy's for Aiden's birthday and my family gathered in her living room watching it. Where was I? The back porch hiding. I hate that! Hey Dana, remember the very first time I did stand up and you taped it and they all watched it at Chrissy's old house and me and you hung out outside? lol I couldn't even be in the house. Haha I do watch them in private b/c I'm critiquing myself and working on how to make it better. Judging every word, movement, facial expression. It's sick.
At the end of the month is Wawapalooza 2. I really hope it turns out well. I've been going to rehearsals a lot and it's fun and we crack each other up. I just hope the audience has the same reaction to it as we do. I'm doing my stand up all about relationships and my views on them. lol I'm sure you can just imagine. I apologize to any exes who feel some familiarity in the jokes. I don't mention names.
On top of that, I have the Faint concert on Sunday and Nine Inch Nails on the 27th. So I'm happy. Those are two of my favorite bands to see live. September will be quiet, and October is going to be insane! I can't wait for October. There's Kymm and Kevin's wedding. Ayla will be visiting, which I'm most excited for. (Sorry Dana.) Halloween. Nikki will be moving in. It will just be a whirlwind of excitement. And I'll try to post it all on my blog!
So here's how it started. I'm talking to Dana in email. We already planned on going grocery shopping (or groc as we say on the street, pronounced grosh). So I said, "I feel like such a loser. I'm going to the groc on a Friday night." Dana says, "Bring a camera and we'll take pics and put it on our blog. We'll make it fun!" When I pulled out the camera she goes, "Oh, you really brought it?" Heck yeah I did! And here we go....... Dana wanted me to take a pic of her boobs. She told me herself. haha I'm kidding. She actually yelled at me. There was a family in front of us that had a million kids and they ordered about 5,000 lbs of cheese. See all that? And the guy was working on the 4th pile. My new Ed Hardy shirt! I love it. I want another. I've been eyeing up those damn Chocolate Chex for weeks now. I caved and got it. I never eat cereal anymore! Sometimes Dana takes her time picking out what she wants. Here we are figuring out what granola bars to get. Dana is in full serious concentration. She had no idea I was taking the pic. Dana pointed out that the popcorn says "OMG Cholesterol!" Like they were so excited that they had cholesterol in it. Haha lolzers! I was hoping for a reenactment of the fallen yogurt from last time. She managed to get a good grip on them all. As you can see, I had the camera ready. Shut up, these are fn awesome! While we were hoping for some Levittown shirts, they had a bunch of USA olympic ones. These fancy USA shirts come with the stains already on them! So you can either keep it or add some of your own! Dana's back seat stocked with bags. 'Til next time!
