mandalama Bret was super nice last night. I mean: look at my crazy face-and he still talked to us and squished his face with us

bridget_landon Best birthday present ever! Thank you @flightoftheconchords for putting on an amazing show and taking the time to meet your fans! Their managers were trying to get them to leave but Jemaine said, "
but that's not fair, look at all these people who are waiting!"
Such wonderful people!

[size=150:1xcgeoya]FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS BRING UNSCRIPTED COMEDY &
MUSICAL RANGE TO DETROIT’S FOX THEATRE (SHOW REVIEW)
June 20, 2016 by Marko Polovina

You wouldn’t know it from their appearance, but Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are all about the rock and roll lifestyle. At least they professed that during their Flight of the Conchords performance on June 16th at the historic Detroit Fox Theatre. They are also chronicling their behind the music in a book of their very own rock and roll. A lot was said during their hilariously magical act in song, banter between audience members, or just inane boring details that frankly felt refreshingly unscripted and downright entertaining. Pleasantly surprising is that the two mix it up with equal measures of new comedic jabs and old favorites.

Spoiler:

What can be counted on during the Flight of the Conchords show is their range of musical takes – jazzy accentuated by black and white visuals, western country style of a pants-less American man full of rage and pretty much an asshole of free expression, or Jemaine working the streets of Detroit as a prostitute. They bring it all to the forefront of absurdity.

Where the duo thrived on Thursday evening was their definitive ease in improv. Their lyrical obviousness of not only physical gaffes on stage but observational comedy in the crowd. At times instinctually Bret or Jemaine would yell at the people in the aisles getting drinks or going to the bathroom– “where the fuck are you going this is our jazz song? Hold your urine and just piss in a bag.”

It was hitting on all cylinders for everyone there with each laugh harder than the last. Evidence to their ingenuity during equipment failures, Jemaine blamed his backstage posse (who were wearing invisibility cloaks) of the problems until one eventually came out to hand him a new piece of equipment. “Why aren’t you using your cloak, those invisibility cloaks are really expensive,” Bret smirkingly criticized.

Show ends, happiness overload is happening in my brain, and we decide to go ahead and head over to the same spot we had our meet n greet 7 years ago. Some WTF friends were there and we all waited. After only about 45 minutes or so- Bret came out! They opened the gate and set up 1 small barricade and we were off. He was so sweet. I was wearing the tour shirt from back then and he'd signed the back, Jemaine the front. He got a kick out of seeing it. I didn't ask him to sign anything- I think I had them sign about 4 things last time! I just thanked him for coming back...reminded him that they told us they'd be back in 2009. After our pic, he said "
see you 2023,"
lol! I told him I hoped it wouldn't be that long. He signed Tom's shirt, right over where Jemaine had signed it last time but since it had been washed a lot, you could barely see his sig. Covered by Bret's now, lol. While he was finishing up with a friend, they were talking about last time and Sugalumps. I told him we'd been left side front row and he'd posed for a pic but it came out blurry. He asked 'was it like this?' and he got in the legs-spread, thrust position. "
Yep!"
Wish I'd had the camera ready.

We watched and helped with pics as everyone else got their turns and before the crowd had all seen Bret- out came Jemaine! This was the highlight of the entire night for me.

So the guard-dude had us line up on the opposite side for him. When it was my turn I started to go up to him and he looked at me and said "
Laura."
:#thud#: I probably looked like a deer in the headlights. "
How..."
and he said "
I remimber you."
*Faint* * Swoon* :#heart#: :#love3#: :#loveeyes#: Jemaine remembered me...and he knew my name!

One of my friends there posted this on FB: "
Yes, I was a couple of people behind Laura in line, and Jemaine said, loudly and authoritatively,
"
LAURA"
,
and it was so cool!!!"
:#jem#: :#heart#:

He was just so sweet and laid-back- they both were. I told him- oh, I also told Bret the same- that they were fantastic, the show was great, yada, yada, lol. Pic snapped by a friend rather than with my old camera- It's why my Bret-pic is crap, lol. Ah well. Eugene was also there and we told him he was hilarious- he really was! Tom thanked them for coming out to meet with us, and I'm so glad because it's so true! We're so lucky.
I didn't get the poster because, well...I didn't care for it. I took a pic. I did get the grey "
Flight of the Motherflippin Conchords"
tee. I love it.
It was a great night.
Anyone who has the chance to see them still on this tour- do it!
