Some things:
1. Jeff Dunham was even funnier this time than he was in San Jose. And this time my mom came with me. She loved it, of course. She loves him ever since I made her watch my DVD and she never really gets to go out so I'm glad she had fun.
He had two people open up for him and one of them is
Brian Haner who was hilarious and is also apparently the father of Synyster Gates, the lead guitarist of
Avenged Sevenfold. (A group I just realized I knew after listening to 'Bat Country.')
Not surprisingly, Jeff made a lot of drug jokes about Santa Cruz and how he and his friends were scared by some of the people walking down Pacific. We do get some weird ones. He also said that he and his three male friends (two who opened for him and one manager or something) rented a motel room earlier to watch a football game and how that must have looked odd. Four guys renting a motel room for a couple hours and all they brought into the room were "beer and smiles."
After his show, he came back out and handed shirts to the people in the front row he talked to. He also says that it's come to his attention that some people are unhappy that he stopped using one of his puppets,
Bubba J., in his shows. He said that the show we just saw was what we paid for and this next bit is free because he hasn't done this character in months and needs a cheat sheet of his jokes. So he brings out Bubba J. and starts talking. During this act, some of the people in the audience were helping him with his punch lines. Jeff said it was like a weird version of church with everyone saying what he was saying. By the end of the show, the whole audience was saying Bubba's lines with him (including one joke that was a couple of sentences - they kept up nicely). Jeff said it was a compliment that everyone knew his material, but it says something about him that we knew it better than him. He also said this was one of the weirdest shows he's ever done. Guess he'll remember Santa Cruz. I know I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time.
He said that he's going to be making a Christmas special for Comedy Central and that they'll be filming it in June. It sounded like he was coming back here to film it, but I don't know. I'll have to keep an eye out for tickets because I would love to be there for it.
( Achmed's 'Jingle Bombs' song I was talking about. )2. I had an EKG this morning. I had been feeling weird, but thankfully everything looks normal - 'textbook' as my doctor said. I'm feeling what everyone experiences but are normally not aware of. My doctor gave me a referral to a therapist and they're going to call to set up an appointment. I've always had anxiety and whatnot, but it seems to be getting worse. My mom is thinking it might have something to do with this being my last year in college. Good times.
3. It's almost Wednesday!!! Although I suppose I won't be able to watch
Torchwood until at least Thursday or Friday. Luckily I'm going home this weekend for my friend's birthday. I should be able to watch it then.
