Lewis Black
Monday, March 10, 2008
Last night we went to see Lewis Black for my father-in-law's belated (and belated again) birthday.
I had seen a few of Mr. Black's performances on comedy central and had come to believe I was sufficiently prepared for an hour or so of his exasperatedly 'pissed-off' behavior.
What I wasn't prepared for was the 'lead-ups' to his foul-mouthed, spit-ridden, I'm-having-a-heart-attack exasperations. The man is a master craftsman of epic proportions. The way he can reel a crowd in and let it out over and over and finally set it up for the perfect fall was nothing short of comic genius.
The act was solid top to bottom to the point my own stomach, cheeks, and throat ached from exertion for hours afterward.
The photo on the left is the view from our seats, although it seems further away than it really was. The photo on the right is in reference to a reference made by Mr. Black during one of his tirades. We thought he was joking. (Thanks Dick)

I'm sure Lewis Black was really funny, but I'd like to talk about something else. Like how the guy in your banner scares the crap out of me. Seriously. The living crap. Did you google "scary brains" or something?
He's smaller now... Does that help?
Yes, my screams are quieter.
aaaaaaahhhh instead of AHHHHHHH
Thanks! :)
And. Finally. Gone... "poof......"
Oooo this is an excellent use of font. Well played, sir.
