Celebrity Autobiography

Not a music show, but pretty cool nonetheless. I just got back from the city (New York is the city), where I saw Celebrity Autobiography. For those not in the know, Celebrity Autobiography involves various comedians reading the autobiographies of certain celebrities, most of whom would have no business writing a Christmas card. Hilarity ensues. Hearing Tommy Lee describe how celery gives him a boner and Miley Cyrus talk about how unlucky she is because her "hair dryer blows" would be funny without comedians like Rachel Dratch and Will Forte reading them. But hearing them read by people pretending to take them seriously made it that much better. If I had to pick a favorite part, it would probably be Joan London's detailed description of how she can't see anything on her drive to work followed by her assertion that "it wouldn't matter if it were broad daylight, because I don't have time for the scenery." Celebrities are stupid. Classic.

In personal growth news, this is also the first time I've ever been in a situation where I have not had enough money to pay a bill. The tickets themselves were about $30 each, but there was a two drink minimum. And if someone had told me that a Coke at a comedy club in New York costs $7, well, I don't know what I would have done, but it would have been nice. Anyway, me and my girlfriend had about $25 between us. The final bill for four Cokes was $35.40. We were stuck there with less money than we owed, trying to enjoy the end of the show while both independently conteplating the consequences of skipping out on the check. That sucked. After the show ended, I had to run outside to the Citibank on the corner and get money while my girlfriend acted as small as possible so the waiter didn't notice her. Thankfully, I got the money without too much hassle, but it could have been a lot worse. I know, I've suffered so much. It was kinda scary for a second, though. I learned a valuable lesson from this; next time I go somewhere with a drink minimum, I am looking at the menu, and I am ordering the cheapest fucking thing there. I'm such a Jew.
