Tonight my Sis graced me with one of the best birthday presents ever! Two tickets to see Dane Cook LIVE at Madison Square Garden!The evening started off perfectly when we actually found a parking spot ONE block from MSG. What?? Yes, you heard me. Without barely a moment wasted, we turn onto 34th street, and see someone pulling out. In the middle of the infamous chaos that belongs to that area of the city, I paralleled parked my ride right into that spot. Taxis and pedestrians pushed their way around us, and Sis said, "Go for it. It's do or die."
Our seats were way... way... way up there. But because of the layout of the stadium, we concurred they actually felt like good seats. It's a huge, HUGE place, that for some reason has a level of intimacy to it. As the evening went on, it started feeling smaller.
But at first glance, I exclaimed, "HOW is he going to do this?" Can you imagine... standing in front of THAT many people, all eyes on you, for nearly 2 hours, telling story after story, hoping to get a laugh out of all of them? That is the talent of Dane Cook. He commands the stage, fills the space, and seems to be having more fun standing in front of us than we are in front of him. He held his microphone in the air and shouted, "I love my job!"It was a fun show, a great experience. I have to tell you, I have a pretty cool sister for making this night happen for us.
