So a few months ago I found out that two of my favorite standup comedians, Dave Attell and Lewis Black, were touring together. I was pretty sure that they would come here, and I checked, and they were! They were going to be at the Fillmore (you may remember that I saw Sum 41 there). Anyway, I got tickets as soon as I could on Ticketmaster. They were section AA, row 2, seats 1 and 2. There was no seating chart because it was gonna be folding chairs put down on the floor. I wasn’t sure exactly where we would be sitting, I mean, section AA? Sounded to me like A woudl be the front, and then AA would be on the side or behind it or something. Then I talk to my friend Jon and he was like “Dude you’re going to that show? I can’t wait to see Mitch.” I went “What do you mean, Mitch? Like, Mitch Hedberg?” and he said “Yeah man he’s opening for them.” I was freaking out. Now THREE of my favorite standup comedians were all doing a show together. I was sooo psyched. So my main man Colin comes down from CSU to come to the show with me last Thursday, and we get in, and the usher looks at our tickets and goes “Ok, down the middle, alllll the way down…” and we look at each other like “Roooock!” SO we walk down to the front. We’re in the freaking second row, in the middle, at the aisle. The seats were divided into, think of the four quadrants of a coordinate plane. We were in the first one, top right, AMAZING seats. We sat down and just kept high fiving and being giddy and going “Tech Niiiine!”
The show was hilarious. We were literally 10 feet away from the performers on the stage. They were all really funny, and there was a lot (almost too much) audience interaction. After the show, we were walking around trying to find out where they would be signing autographs and stuff. Almost the whole crowd was surrounding the place they thought Dave and Lewis would be coming out, but we heard someone ask a security guard where they would be and he said right where we were standing! So we ended up second in line for autographs and pictures, and as you can see, our pictures came out freaking awesome. Lewis was really nice and genuinely seemed happy to be talking to me, while Dave looked really tired and just feigned interest in my questions and praise. Completely excusable, we were just glad we were there at the beginning of the line instead of the end. What a great show. Everyone should go see them!
