SO LAST NIGHT, four of us went to see Ben Bailey do standup in Boston! It was pretty glorious. Not only did he do an entire joke about killing ostriches with large stones (score!), but he also talked about lots of fun Cash Cab stories, including the origin of the red light challenge and his ridiculous cab driver characters. Basically, I discovered that Ben Bailey and I share the exact same sense of humor, and it was amazing.
Best part may have been the woman who left 15 minutes in because she brought her 14 year old daughter and she thought it was going to be a "family" show.... and who called Ben Bailey an asshole on the way out. Ha! Or the crazy lady, Kelly, who was sitting in front of us and kept shouting drunken random things and giving us high fives.
And all of this was preceded by a pilgrimage to Mike's Pastries for some overdosing on cannoli, of course. We came home pretty much right after the show since we had parked at the T and one of my friends had to leave at 5 am for work (ewwwww) but it was still nice to get off-Cape for a little bit.
Turkey Day dinner was great- a real friends-giving with about 15 current and past Amerifolks. We brought enough food for an army, and I ate enough that I felt like I might actually physically explode. The ideal Thanksgiving, right?
And I can't believe it's only SATURDAY!!! I have a day and a half left to be a total bum. Fantastic Mr. Fox, here we come!
