hope sets sail

so kate got us tix to see ricky gervais tonight at madison square garden as a (very) early birthday gift. as one might expect, it was a real fuckin' hoot to see him in the flesh and hear his hilarity live.

two things that surprised me:

a) doors were 7:30 and he got started 7:50 on the dot. am I just so used to rock shows starting hours after the doors open, or is this just how it's done for big stand-up shows?

b) he recycled about 15% of material from his previous stand-ups. admittedly, those who would know this are only the geeks who own the region 2 uk dvds of his previous shows and played them on a multi-region dvd player. repeatedly.

but yeah, the man is an unstoppable genius. if you want a taste of his hilarity, pop over on that link I gave you up top (and just now) and peep his promo for his nyc shows.

"but aj, I'm at work and I don't have sound on my computer."

well then you have two options:

a) wait till you get home and watch it.
b) quit your shitty job.

please have a wonderful day.


OH.

But I have headphones at work now.

LANK.  


man I LANK you twice in this entry.
