August 2 - Los Angeles, CA (1st National International New Zealand Day, Largo)

The Conchords, Rhys and Taika---will such a legendary meeting ever occur again? If it does, I must be there for a second chance!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Text from IRENE!!!!!

10:00PM

Jess!  It's irene!  I just got to go backstage and give my presents to the guys!  I'll have more details later.  I gotta go!  Luv ya  

WOW WOW WOW WOW! SQQQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

ALL RIGHT IRENE!

I know! This is AMAZING news!!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I don't think I can too many o's

Irene -- You are a goddess  

WHAAAT? How did she get to go backstage??? Awesome!  

She made cool ass fucking sheepies!!!!!! That;s how. My presents are going to be HUGE from now on  

I think she's gotten to know the owner of the place pretty well over the last few weeks so that might have something to do with her being able to get back there.  

I can't wait to hear the deets!!!!!!!!

Irene got backstage???? Irene you are my hero! haha

AHHH!  SO JEALOUS!  That's amazing!!  

I can't wait until I get to see them some day.  I was driving my folks crazy by reporting on the status of the show every few minutes, since it was, after all, their faults that I wasn't really there!  Haha!

Ah, I love 'em.

Me: Exactly fourty minutes until the show starts...

Me: Exactly thirty-seven minutes until the show starts, and they sing for someone who isn't me.

Me: Exactly thirty-five minutes until the show starts... a show only an hour or so away... a show I could be at...

You get the picture.  Haha!

So that will probably be the last update until the show is over. They have to have their cells off during the show.

Show was effing awesome!  The guys rushed away but a few girls got pics w rhys; the highlight of show was leggy blonde (OMG panties on drool!) and jem prostitute song

Caitlin 12:44AM

OMG and bret had a cherry red tiny ass (like uke sized) flying v guitar!  And they had an "emergency band meeting" w murray off stage at the beginning of the show

WOW!   I just got home and I'm catching up on all the updates...

It just keeps getting better! I'm so happy for the flighties that got to be there. I wish we could've all been there! And I'm sooo happy that Irene got to deliver those gifts. Irene, you could seriously start a business. I want to buy them too!  

Irene 12:56AM

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY THEY DID IT!!!

I asked if Taika was there...


Caitlin 1:00AM

no taika, it was bic, boh, rhys, greg johnson and fotc.  the guys sang backup 4 bic on a song (gorgeous) n she sang on choir of ex gfs; boh n greg sang 2gether too.

what's going on now? i need to know more!  

Haven't gotten anymore tixts... I imagine we'll hear the rest when they get home. Irene should be home soon...

wendy, irene, my friend vicki and I were hanging out in the car and it was around 8pm we decided it was time to go back to the largo and Wendy was reparking the car.
I was out of the car while she did this and I see Rhys driving his car out of the parking lot and he stopped to ask the parking attendant where he should go and i heard some speak with an NZ accent so i did a double take but couldn't get my camera out in time to snap a photo.
So I did the next best thing:I yell out "RHYS!".  He looks up at me and I give him my "horns to heaven" and he waves back at me!  

I just checked the sb to find out how last night's show went.  There were, like, 40 pages!  Yet, strangely enough, no details about the show.  

I'm sooooooooo happy for you, Irene! Your sheep were adorable, and it's awesome that you were able to give them in person (don't be embarrassed!  you're so sweet!).

Do you guys think they're too famous for meet-and-greets now?  Or do you think they haven't been doing them because they're too busy?  I hope they start meeting fans again.  I'd love to give them gifts in person.  

Also...

Taika??!
