Last night was the best!
N and I went up to Portland yesterday to see Aziz Ansari at the Aladdin theater. If you haven't seen this guy's stand-up, do it, NOW! He's hilarious.
We had lunch at Red Lobster, where I proceeded the stuff a fck ton of cheddar bay biscuits in my purse, to omm nom later. Why you ask? Well one, they're delicous, and two, I didn't want to get hungry waiting in line for FIVE HOURS to get primo seats. I wanted to be right up where the action was, okay?
And we were! We were the very first people to show up. It was pretty cool. I've never been first for anything, really. Here I am, being legit. Too legit, to quit. Pardon me looking like I am 12 years old, in my (really cool) giraffe shirt and smiling like a jack ass.
To kill time, I read, tried not to the sweat through my shirt as it was really warm and I freakin' wore jeans. There were some interesting passers-by, and then N and I proceeded to narrate the lives of the people driving and waiting at the busy intersection. We saw a horrible John Mayer look-alike, and a guy who was really, really, REALLY, into Jewel.
So lucky for our friend K (and our new found friend, M) they got to get in line with us about 15 mins before the doors opened. I was congratulated on being first in line, and when I got home that night I saw that the theater tweeted about me! haha. We made a bee line for the very front row center, and it was totally worth the wait. We were inches away from the stage, but they were very adamant about no photography. Which made me sad panda, I just wanted one photo of Aziz!
Then my wish came true.
After the opening act finished (a very funny comedian Dan Levy) Aziz came out and shit got insannnnnnne. He let people take photos for a couple mins, which makes me so glad I didn't put my camera in the car!! This was the best one I got. Look how close we were! It was awesome because he did these ridiculous poses and was saying "we'll make it look like I'm doing some crazy physical bit. I'm flyinnn!" His set was pretty good. He referred to K as a Kit Kat, and said M looked like a guy who would really be into porn.
Worth every penny.
Until next time,
Sarah
