comedy fun time


Boomtime!

Here are some recordings that may or may not have come from someone's iPhone near me from the comedy shows I may or may not have seen this weekend. I am not responsible for these whatsoever, but if you happen to be a comedy geek or are bored and want to hear a bad recording of a fine comedian in front of a Canadian crowd well here you go!!!




Above is the early show at the Media Room in Vancouver on Friday, September 25th as a part of the Vancouver Comedy Fest.

In this show there was an extremely annoying couple sitting near the stage so you can hear people comment on them. Reggie did the best take on it at the end.

Ode to Driving



At this point we have traveled over 4,000 miles. That's a lot of time on the road! I have to say that the further west we went the more beautiful it got. Hope you enjoy some of our scenery pictures.

Los Angeles

Of course we start with food :

There are a few 'chains' in California that we love!

In-N-Out Burger. The best (fast food) burger you've ever had.

Pinkberry is my favorite sweet treat ever!!! I had the pomegranate yogurt with blueberries, almonds, and fruity pebbles! YUM!


We also checked out a comic book store called Meltdown because we all know how much Mike loves comics. As we aproached the store I could see the excitement in his eyes, and it only escalated from there. They had a really great selection and knew their stuff and Mike was a happy boy. But WAIT .... while checking out the guy informs us that there's a comedy show in the back, featuring Charlyne Yi (you probably know her from Knocked Up), and because we purchased comics we could get in free plus there was an open bar! Once we went back we saw Charlyne in the back (I guess she already finished her set) but then Aziz Ansari (from Parks and Recreation & Funny People) was the final performer and he was very very funny. AWESOME night!
