Date Night... in the middle of finals?!

 A favorite comedian of ours had a scheduled show/book signing last week so naturally we HAD to go!! 
Even if Danny was supposed to be studying for finals.. haha.. It was a nice break from the norm.  The crazy part was that for the ticket price we got an hour show, a book, he signed our book & we got to chat with Demetri :)  Kinda cool!!  The venue was in a Greek Orthodox Cathedral.. kinda weird..and luckily we got there just in time to be one of the first 50 peeps in line so the front row was ours!  I rarely get front row seating at any event but since this was general admission we went 45 min early and scored some of the best seats in the house.

Here's his website if you want to check out some of his clips from Comedy Central :  Important Things with Demetri Martin 
 Demetri- the man himself...  Don't you love the religious decor in the background?
 Part of his act are sketches.. .they are SUPER funny.. I took pics so I would remember them but pregnancy has the best of my brain and I can't remember what this one was about...


 Loved the cupcake drawings... he said if it was an actual "cup" cake then it should be the size of a cup... so deceiving... haha..
 Nearing the end of his act he had these big post-it drawings all over the Stage..  He even did a Q&A session after and people asked the dumbest things but he could always think of something fun & whitty.


 Pic with Demetri ... bummer.. it was blurry.. I couldn't have that!! So I had him sign my book while I really got my camera ready :)
 Signing my book.. I decided that this would be the best surprise Birthday gift for my sis-in-law (shhh don't tell her!!) since she LOVES Demetri.. so I found a pic of her on facebook had it displayed on my phone so he could really sign the book to her :) I'm so cheesy but I thought it was a fun idea...
 Photo take #2!  Pretty good!! Demetri was a pretty cool guy and for the couple min we had with him, he + Danny were all about bro-ing down and talking about their love for cool watches.. Demetri wears the Futurist by Casio (which turns out that it's a girls watch hehe)
 Typical Demetri lanky legs pose... signing his books :)
All in all we had a great night!! We even got a super close parking spot which is rare in DC and I was very grateful for that since this pregnant girl didn't feel like walking far or waiting in line forever.  We only had to wait 10 min in line, were seated and the show started about 30 min later... they even served kosher treats after! hahah kinda random but a fun way to spend a night together.  Too bad I'm lame and didn't get pics of myself .. I know you're all dying to see my ever growing baby bump.  Maybe someday when I don't feel so large + in charge! haha
