Austin...Just Austin
I drove to Austin yesterday to see Rob Riggle at Emo's. It took about three hours and I got there way before the show was supposed to start so I got to walk around for a little bit. Apparently there was a football game happening because I have never seen so many orange shirts with longhorns on them in my life.
So, I'll just skip to before the show. I was amongst about seven people waiting for the doors to open at eight. Some girls told me to avoid some guy and I impressed them with my visit to NY where I met Stephen and the like.
A little after eight we're let in. I went directly to go sit down in the second row. I would have sat in the first, but I didn't want to crane my neck the entire night.
This lady sits next to me and starts bitching about the people asking at the door for her ID despite the fact she was clearly of age. The lady then proceeds to talk to me for the rest of the night and even occasionally during sets.
What was cool was that there was this girl who looked exactly like America Ferrara (the girl from Ugly Betty) sitting about two seats over. I asked her how many times she got mistaken for her and she made a joke about it having been at least twenty four hours. She was cool.
Okay, now for the show stuff. The first guy really sucked. His entire thing was about McDonald's. He danced and said stuff about Big Macs. I didn't get it. And only like ten people laughed.
The next guy was pretty decent. He made fun of people being younger than him and hanging out with the emo/punk bands at the Vans Warped Tour. I laughed a few times.
Then there was a break before Rob and Janeane came out saying they were gonna flip a coin to see who went first. Rob won and then Janeane introduced him as Emmy nominated Rob Riggle. (I'm guessing that's why I didn't see him afterward. He had to get some sleep or hop a plane to LA for the Emmy show.)
Rob is hilarious. He shared the experience of going to the bathroom at the stadium. He talked about his near death experience where he was naked and wet. That was a wonderful image. He talked about going to a Japanese restaurant and being ready to kill the cook. His impression of his wife was the ghetto version. He talked about this guy who dry humped luggage coming off the luggage thing in the airport. That was funny. He ogled the lady in front of my for the sake of the bit he was doing, but since she was right in front of me I pretended he was staring at me. I just loved everything though.
Then Janeane did her bit. I was slightly disappointed because I expected more political stuff.
I also noticed she was short.
Her thing was cute and she trailed off a few times after being distracted.
She was still funny and I'm glad that I got to see her.
Then I got home a little after three in the morning and went directly to sleep.
