Awesome picture of you and Al! Makes me jealous.

Thanks Stephen! It was nice using the new camera and having my dad back there to take the picture.

I got a picture with Al but realized afterwards that I had my eyes closed.

Great pics Meli, especially the one with you and Al!

After SLN when they come out to wipe up the water off the floor, I asked the guy if I could have the towel. He said, "You want a dirty wet towel"?  and I said "No, I want a memory" so he tossed it at me. 

That's great! The guy probably thought you were nuts.

That wine throwing story makes me mad though. I can't believe they didn't throw that woman out after that.

Thanks Keir! I love that picture too, its hard to tell, but I Photoshopped my left eye because it was all red. I looked like the spawn of the devil. >:)

Anyway, new Myspace blog with more info, while some of the review is the same. It explains itself in the beginning.

That's great!  The guy probably thought you were nuts.

I'm sure he did! (Most people do. )

Here's my review of last night:

My dad and I left our house at about 6:15 to head down to the concert. We hit the LA traffic, but it wasn’t that bad. We listened to the Red Sox game on the way to the show to help pass the time. When we got down to the Greek it was about 7:15 or so. We stopped at the will call when we first showed up to pick up our backstage passes, but they didn’t have them. So we went inside the theatre and I ran into Meli right off the bat. We said hi and then she gave me my DVD of the Biography Special.

Then my dad and me got snacks and went to our seats, which we thought were 4th row in the center-right area, but they ended up being 4th row, almost as far to the left as you can get. (There was one seat between by dad and the end of the row.) After we ate our hotdogs, we went to go get shirts. Just as we were paying, Fun Zone began to start. We quickly finished and ran back to our seats. The seats ended up being okay overall, except we couldn’t see Bermuda or the left and center screens (which didn’t really prove to be a problem except during IILWTS), but we could see everything else.

As it’s been mentioned in here, the fans got pretty crazy. The guy sitting right in front of me yelled out, “You go, Weird!” Which made Al stop and stare at him for a few seconds before continuing on. During IAATP, a guy in the front row walked in late, so Al knocked his hat off. And then there was the crazy woman who kept throwing the wine at Al during SLN.

After the show, I said hi to a bunch of other WOWAYers and then my dad and I ended up getting our passes and headed on backstage. It took a while for me to get up front to see Al, but when I did, he remembered me. I got a picture, but realized afterwards I had my eyes closed.

Then as I was leaving the backstage area, I saw Seth Green, introduced myself to him, and told him that I’m a big Robot Chicken fan. He got really enthusiastic and told me that that was great and pointed up to a raised area of the backstage, showed me a guy, had me wave at me, and told me that he’s a writer on the show. Then when we were done talking, my dad and I walked off to thank the people who helped us get backstage and as we were finishing, Seth Green walked up to me from behind, grabbed my shoulders, and said something along the lines of, “Better hold on tight man, it’s about to get crazy.” We laughed, said bye to Seth, and then my dad and I left the Greek.

We arrived back home at about midnight and gave my mom the White And Nerdy Wonderbread shirt we got for her, and put the White And Nerdy sweatshirt we got for my sister on her bed (she was out at a slumber party).

I had a great time last night. The entire show was great. Even thought I had pretty crummy seats, the concert was still great and I’m really glad got to go.

Awesome review BS! I'm glad you were able to meet Seth Green! You came in after we did, but we left before you did. It was wild back there for sure.

Heh, now that I think about it, not only was my hair channeling Al's, but so was my shirt.
