The day was a normal, work day. My work hubby and I made up...again and all was well. The kids arrived home safely from school and I was all set to work on some blog drafts, when my homeboy texts me about the comedy show he was attending later. I told him that my co-worker and her guy went the previous night. He asked what she said, because apparently this was a new show, and I told him that she hadn't reported back. After a brief conversation with her, it turns out they didn't go, but were on the way, at THAT moment. I got giddy. I texted my homeboy and yeah so I basically invited myself to kick it with him, his lady, his boy, and his lady, thus therefore making myself their +1.
Fast forward to warning the kids about not opening the door and keeping hands off of the other. I threw on something cute and comfy and bolted. Ah, the advantages of having older kids!
I arrived to find my co-worker and her boo sitting at the perfect seat, holding an empty space for me. I was their +1 too, awww. (Are you detecting the love?) The show didn't start until after 8, which was cool. It gave me a chance to call my girl and holla at her for a minute. While I was outside, my homeboy and nem arrived. I dapped them up (still on the phone) and they went inside. I followed soon thereafter when I heard intro music! I gets in and the local comedian Red Grant is on stage. He's the host and he was pretty damn funny. I've never seen or heard him, but I was pleasantly surprised at how I was laughing. I'd only had one drink, so don't blame it on the alcohol. He intro'd a few comics, and the lead singer from the go-go band Suttle Thoughts came on. Had chicks up in there swooning. Right before the featured comic, Red pulled a guy onto the stage who apparently is repping the DMV area AND is part of Prince's band. Yes theeee Prince. That dude played a phucking harmonica. Nah, he murdered that shyt. Peep my vid and pardon my cheers.
While I'd already gotten a good dose of my laugh on, nothing prepared me for what was next. Red Grant did the whole "coming to the stage we got...." thing. Immediately, I peeped the comic's dimple. It was so deep and prominent and just precious. He said a few jokes and I think I saw a white light. I'm not lying. The rest of the night was a hilarious blur of sorts. And if I couldn't fall back on my good looks, I'd be really embarrassed at my behavior. I became "that chick." You know...the one who loses all control of everything just because they're laughing. That was me. At some point, during the evening I:
- dramatically fell over the bar where I was sitting,
- stood up declaring that I was going to leave,
- begged the comedian to get off the stage,
- stomped my feet,
- spun COMPLETELY around on my stool,
- turned my back to the comedian,
- grabbed the lady beside,
- leaned on the lady beside me,
- extended my hand for five, from the lady beside me,
- high fived the lady beside,
- did the previous 3 things to my co-worker...and her guy,
- walked over to the my homeboy's table and did said things to him and his lady,
- hollered,
- yelled at the comic to "stop"
- loudly answered the questions he posed to the audience,
- finger snapped,
- was all "uh, no he didn't,"
- complained about my cheeks and abs hurting, and
- unapologetically did the most.
Everybody deserves to freely feel what I felt and I hope that one day you do.
P.S. How much of a wanksta would I be if I didn't tell you who had me in stitches actin' a complete fool? His name, drum roll...Mark Viera!!!!!!!!!! Here's a taste of what he did.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!
