...and then minutes later, the venue is empty and the crew already has everything packed away. I loved watching the procession of humans with purpose each night. This may sound weird but watching groups of people do tasks like this makes it easier for me to love bugs.
...Meredith had picked tickets that were really close to the stage and she'd never sat close to the stage! It was bananas to get to see all the dancers' footwork up close.
Sacha Gervasi, the director of the movie came out and told the story of his involvement with the guys from Anvil. From the movie's wiki page: "Gervasi first met Anvil on September 21, 1982, after a gig at The Marquee Club in London, where he introduced himself to the band as "England's number-one Anvil fan." He subsequently became a roadie for the band on their '82, '84 and '85 tours, and was given the nickname "Teabag" by the band. He reunited with Anvil after a break of 20 years, and started shooting a documentary about them in November 2005." Awesome.
The show was fantastic - and we were extra excited because his guest visitor at the end of the show was Jonathan Ames (who is one of my favorite authors).
We sat near the stage and for some reason every single comedian took time out of their routine to make comments about my hair. (WTF?) The last comedian of the night was Godfrey (self-proclaimed "star" of a few 7up commercials) who went so far as to call me up on stage as the "token white boy" that he tried his best to make look like a square...
