Will any other flighties be there, or am I gonna be the only one? lol

I will be there in spirit!

I have some friends (a whole family!) that are going, and they're SUPER excited. Another friend of theirs who's my age is going, and he's dressing like David Bowie, but I don't know which era. ;
) (I'm told that if I still lived in OH, they would have tried to set us up. [image]

[size=150:x2zvz0mh]Flight of the Conchords land with disco balls, parodies
[size=100:x2zvz0mh]3,000 flock to M.A.C. for singing comedians

Jemaine Clemet and Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords entertain a crowd of more than 3,000 at the M.A.C. Center last night. Katie Young | Daily Kent Stater

[size=100:x2zvz0mh]Students, parents and everyone in between filed into the M.A.C. Center to see Flight of the Conchords, "
New Zealand's fourth most popular digi-folk paradists,"
last night.

The crowd of more than 3,000 erupted into applause when two concert-goers dressed in robot costumes took their seats near the front of the stage. The get-ups were near replicas of ones Flight of the Conchords wore in an episode of their self-titled HBO show.

Finally, the lights dimmed and a booming voice came over the speakers and promised the audience that "
minds will be blown"
and that they will be "
showered with awesomeness"
by the opening act, Kristen Schaal.

Schaal hopped on stage wearing sparkly gold pants, which she claims she "
stole from a genie."
Her goofy, girlish voice contrasted her jokes, which were peppered with bad language. Her material ranged from the tame (government bailouts) to the bizarre (the life of a mattress).

Schaal ended her set with her rendition of an audition for "
Law and Order: SVU."
Schaal played the role of a "
chubby grocer"
and shoved nearly half of a chocolate cake into her mouth. Covered in frosting, Schaal introduced the Kiwi duo, otherwise known as Flight of the Conchords.

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clemet took the stage in silver jumpsuits complete with disco balls glued to the crotches of their pants. The two opened the show by playing their club-inspired song about the lack of women on the dance floor, "
Too Many Dicks."

After changing into their street clothes, McKenzie and Clemet played songs from both seasons of their show, including crowd favorite "
Carol Brown,"
which is about Clemet's ex-girlfriends.

The crowd professed their love for the group, requesting McKenzie and Clemet to take off their clothes and complimenting their footwear choices. The pair played along and even reprimanded a man for interrupting another heckler.

Clemet"
? Now there's a new one. [image]

Saw some kind of crappy pics from tonight's show.

Jemaine played drums. Or rather, he was sitting behind a drum kit. Not sure if he actually played them.

He also wore a black, zip-up hoodie after while he was meeting fans. I love hoodies!!!! [image]

Gonna post some pics in a bit. ;<br />D

Jillian/phasers on funky posted a link to her recap of the early Philly show. Here's a snippet from it:

[size=100:l7i4ac3j]... Jemaine went over to the drum set and Bret plugged in his mini V guitar and they went right into "
Demon Woman"
. Jemaine was hysterical on the drums (he was really getting into it). ...

Oh okay, thanks Jess!

Since I got behind on reading about the shows last week I sort of decided I wasn't gonna read recaps or watch vids anymore until after my shows. I've suddenly developed some sort of self control... ??? <img src=

I just want the shows I see to be as special as they can possibly be!!! :'(

I don't wanna know to expect. I realised this after I totally ruined the NK concert last week. [image]

Who knows though, it probably won't last that long. Our first show is still almost a month away. [image]

ADD: Okay, well not ruined but... it kind of sucks when your bff keeps asking you during the show what song is next. [image]
