You were back there? I was waiting back there forever...until midnight. Then I gave up

Ah man sorry to hear there wasn't a meet and greet. Glad to hear the concert was great though

no meet and greet! I wished on a star for you guys! no fair! (slightly over dramatic...glad you guys had fun )

Alright,review time (I'll try not to make it too long )


There were a ton of people there (as witnessed by Arj's tweet),definitely sold out. Nikki/My friend/I were sitting in the fourth row so this is what our view looked like:
)

Jemaine announced Arj in a Ronald Chevalier-esque voice And he just rambled on and on for like 5 minutes,it was really funny,I hope someone got it on video.

Arj's set was hilarious
My favorite quote from him:
"
Does Global Warming actually affect Arizona? You guys must be like, 'Oh, 'uck! How much worse can it get?!'"


The setlist (give or take ) was:
Too Many Dicks
Hurt Feelings
Stana
Most Beautiful Girl
I told you I was Freekie
Jenny
I'm Not Crying
Mutha 'Uckas
Hiphopopotamus Vs. the Rhymenocerous
Freebird ( )
Think About It
Carol Brown
Foux Du Fafa
I Love Dogs with Epilepsy
We're Both in Love with a Sexy Lady
Sugalumps
(and somewhere in there they did When Doves Cry )

Encore:
Business Time
Bowie

- Too Many Dicks was great,of course! Arj came out with a bandana on to do his part which was awesome. Afterward Jemaine went on and on for 5 minutes about what the song was about
- Hurt Feelings "
It takes a long time to make a casserole, mother'uckers!"

- Stana is definitely my new favorite song. Jemaine added a bunch of comments in that weren't in a lot of the youtube versions I've heard.
After Stana Nikki and I had these signs that said
Molest Me Jemaine Anast & Molest Me Bret Stana
and they were bantering about some banner (someone said 'What does the banner say?'
And they were like "
There is no banner ???"
and Nikki and I held up our signs then,it was good timing And they were both like "
Wow,that was fast,we just played that song!"
and they laughed about it (Aw,Jemaine's laugh ) and I think Bret said "
Yeah,while people are in the audience at our shows between songs they like to draw things"

It was kind of embarassing (Nik made me do it ) but it was really funny. I hope someone got it on video
- Around this part the crowd got REALLY obnoxious They just kept yelling out shii,it was insane. Not even intelligent shii,just stupid shii. (That's why I'm not really surprised there wasn't a meet and greet.) Someone yelled out "
TAKE IT OFF!"
and Jemaine joked about 'I don't know how you bought tickets to a comedy show and expected that stripping would be part of the show...I could put a jacket on and then strip it off? So Bret and Jemaine called to Matt the sound guy to get them some jackets (Jemaine was describing exactly where his was 'Bottom bunk,lefthand side of the closet')
- Most Beautiful Girl was lovely. Jemaine was really into it (Actually,Jemaine was REALLY on tonight...even Nik said so. He was really into everything and laughing and doing little dances and it seemed like he was having a really good time. )
- While they banter after Most Beautiful Girl here comes Matt with three jackets
You can see the awesomeness that ensued then:

Then they played I told you I was Freekie Bret
- Jenny was so cute. They messed up a lot. Bret stopped at the part where he's supposed to say, "
Do you remember what you said to me?"
but didn't and after a while they were still playing the song and Jemaine was laughing and asked, "
Do you remember?"
and Bret says, "
Yes, I remember, it's just, I got distracted... there's a women in the front row with a strange laugh..."
And he was trying so hard not to laugh/smile while the crowd was. It was so cute. Jemaine said the woman would "
Never laugh again"
.
- I'm Not Crying :"
Can you please make the lights to look like we're in a giant tear drop, please?"
. Jemaine totally pointed at me (okay,maybe not,but I think so ) when he said "
...it melted, when I met you,"

- Mutha 'Uckas was awesome 'cause Bret was playing drums
- During Hiphopopotamus Vs. the Rhymenocerous I totally became pregnant ( ):
[flash=350,287:0xvetuvs]https://www.youtube.com/v/m5_zEXV5O84&hl=en&fs=1[/flash:0xvetuvs]
After this someone shouted Freebird (I have yet to hunt that person down... )
But Freebird was hilarious and awesome anyway:
[flash=350,287:0xvetuvs]https://www.youtube.com/v/iNvXgfEzUJk&hl=en&fs=1[/flash:0xvetuvs]
- For Think About It they were bantering about 'issues' like famine and 'Anything Bono is into' and saving the whales by dropping cell phones into the ocean so they could call for help...they did whale sounds They were scarily accurate. Someone shouted that one of the issues is 'Monkey Sex' WTF? ??? Jemaine said "
That's not part of the show, Phoenix Arizona, you guys are warped..."
Best quote ever : "
I see, in Phoenix you're all about monkey sex and Freebird."

- Carol Brown was cute. Nigel on xylophone
- Foux du Fafa was great. They did the 'Baguette! huh huh huh' part so many times
- Someone shouted out 'I love epileptic dogs!' and Bret played it,he forgot some words and was like "
I've already said that..."
and Jemaine was just laughing The 'remix' part was awesome,with strobe lights and all.
- Sexy Lady (that is all) & Sugalumps ->

[flash=350,287:0xvetuvs]https://www.youtube.com/v/2LmKKXgQcoQ&hl=en&fs=1[/flash:0xvetuvs]
After Sugalumps Bret threw his guitar pick and Nikki caught it!
Encore...
Business Time - Really sexy.
Bowie - The banter was great,about time tripping and then being at a party with Bowie and Bowie stealing Bret's 'licks' The 'receiving transmission from David Bowie's nipple antennea' was hilarious,'cause Jemaine was doing 'pointy nipples' with his fingers

After they thanked everyone and walked off Jemaine tripped over something and laughed

After the show we meet Arj (who was um...totally wasted ) but he was really nice,I said I'm a flighty and he said "
A flighty? Oh! It was great meeting you"

After that we went outside to wait for the guys and there was a 'ucking HUGE crowd,like 50 or so people. Their bus was there and then an hour later it left but there was still another bus there so we were waiting for that but then it got to be midnight and we were just like

It was a really good show. Kinda sucky the crowd was so lame,but everything the crowd shouted out turned into hilarious banter.
My friend got some amazing pictures/videos so once she sends them to me I'll post them
(Here's an article on the show -->
