I'm seeing Lewis Black tonight

[Les Waste]

He's doing two sets tonight at Summerfest, and I'm going to see at least one, maybe both. Summerfest is this really big music festival in Milwaukee. For two weeks, a bunch of really huge bands like Santana and The Dead make it impossible to drive or park downtown. It's so big, a band like Andrew W.K. is playing on the fourth stage. Lewis Black is always at Summerfest, but I never actually thought to go see him before. Cause I fucking hate going there so much.

Unless I die before 5 pm central. Then nevermind.

I've never heard of Lewis Black.. Any tunes I would recognise of his?

[liquidstatik]

He's a comedian. :)

[Spasmolytic]

he's pretty damn funny, he does the Back in Black segment on The Daily Show on Comedy Central

I should put that in my fucking signature, but I don't want to because doing that is stupid.

And I'm insanely jealous you you, Bobo. He's the second-funniest comedian ever, next to George Carlin. I wish I could go. :(

If it's new material, then you should yell something at him. That way, you might be on a CD. :eek

[Ninjavenom]

Carlin is dead to me because of a friend of mine who repeats his jokes far too often for them to be funny anymore. :(

DON'T FORGET TO BRING A STEAK KNIFE AND FAKE ACID TABS.

[Esuohlim]

I can't think about the Super Bowl, candy corn, NyQuil, Starbucks, or IHOP without thinking about Lewis Black. :(

I saw Lewis Black a year ago, and let me tell you...

YOU WILL LYAO!!!

[Les Waste]

OMG I just got back but seeing Lewis Black wasn't even the highlight of the night! :eek

We got there an hour and a half early, cause I'm neurotic like that, so we had to kill time before Lewis Black started his set. So we wandered around, and we saw a Nintendo tent. Inside the tent was a game of Smash Brothers Melee on a big projection screen, and a bunch of people in Nintendo shirts. The guys from Nintendo were playing people in a two on two team melee with three lives a piece, and if anybody beat them, they would win two Nintendo skate boards.

I figured, well I'm the greatest Smash brothers player on the face of the planet, so I'll give it a try. Me and my brother waited in line like an hour and then actually won. We beat these two Nintendo pros playing as Marth and Donkey Kong. My brother was Roy and I was Jigglypuff. My brother beat the living shit out of Donkey Kong, and I did nothing but Jigglypuff's down+b attack on Marth. We were the only people the entire day who beat the Nintendo people. That was seriously, the high point of my life. I've never even skate boarded, but this skate board is my trophy. >:

Also, Lewis Black was really funny. Here's a sample joke about spam email:
"I can't believe that there are morons who think they can take a pill to make their dicks bigger. I have to imagine that the only people actually buying these pills, are morons who are feeding the pills to their dicks."

LOL :(

Apparently, he lived in Milwaukee and has been doing Summerfest for 12 years. Which explains why he was the only decent comedian there, and his opening act was so awful I was :rolleyes

[liquidstatik]

OMG, did you take pictures?

[Les Waste]

They don't allow cameras into Summerfest >:

Also admission was $12 a person WTF >:

[Esuohlim]

I figured, well I'm the greatest Smash brothers player on the face of the planet, so I'll give it a try.

LOL

I would pay $12 dollars to see a bunch of bands, Lewis Black, play video games, and get a skateboard. OMG I'd even pay, like, $12.50 :(

Nobody ever comes here because nobody likes it here, and that's why I never see anybody here because they all want to stay the hell away from here. :(

[executioneer]

did they pat you down or something :( you could have tried to sneak in a disposable :(

-willie

[liquidstatik]

You could have hidden it prison style :(

[executioneer]

I snuck my digital camara into a no cameras concert once :eek I hid it in my jacket hood 8)

-willie

[Les Waste]

They didn't pat us down, and I think I easily could have snuck a camera in, but everything was inside of big, poorly-lit tents. Someone would have seen the flash and taken the camera away.

The pictures wouldn't have been that interesting anyway, just pictures of Lewis Black, who most everybody knows what he looks like. The only interesting picture would have been me winning a Nintendo skate board.

:(

[liquidstatik]

Thats all I wanted to see :(

[Protoclown]

I will probably be paying almost $30 to see Lewis Black up at a comedy club in DC in September.

[CastroMotorOil]

I saw him for free at western michigan university. us tudents get nice perks there.

[Evil Robot]

Since you didn't have a camera, just draw pictures of it. Like a bunch of stick figures looking at a really funny stick figure. And perhaps one stick figure could have a steak knife and fake acid tabs.

[Esuohlim]

In Soviet Russia, pictures draw you! :(

[sadie]

okay, esuohlim, hon. it's over. :P

and YAY FOR BOBO. http://sadie.dgostation.com/emoticons/jumpers.gif

[mburbank]

He's playing in Boston this month and the wife and I really want to go, but it's $30.00 a ticket.

That's a lot of long green for me these days.

The kids could each get two pairs each of chinese slave labor sandals for that kind of scratch.

Or they could get one pair each and I could get passing out drunk.

[fat_tony]

Lucky bastard.
