Flight of the Conchords was AWESOME!
Yes, I had nosebleed seats, so cramped even my short legs were pinched. Yes, I paid $175 to an evil scalper for those horrible seats, way up on the left in the 2nd balcony. Luckily I brought my mini-binoculars because Jemaine and Brett were cute and wonderful! What a fun Flight of the Conchorts Concert on Wednesday!

Full house, lots of enthusiastic people. We all roared at their songs and their patter. They are indeed just like their personas on TV, and they do fun things in messing with the audience. Also, Brett looks less scrawny in person, which is surprising. Jemaine is obviously the louder and quicker thinking, but he is subservient to Brett. Brett is the alpha conchord, you can tell.

Eugene Mirman, who plays their sloppy, odd landlord in the series, did a little of his stand-up routine. He had a funny story about how much he hates Delta Airlines, and then he passed out postcards for people to fill in and send to Delta to reinforce that they made a bad move when they screwed around someone who's clever and plays in venues with thousands of people. Ha, and he used his claims refund for the baggage of his they lost to print up the postcards!

Jemaine and Brett have been to Austin to play SxSW in their lesser-known days. This time they did a lot of songs from Season II, which I don't know. But they played many of the top hits I loved: It's Business Time, Hip-Hop-aPotamus, I'm Not Crying, and ... The Humans Are Dead!

The humans are dead
The humans are de-ad
We used posionous gases
And we poisoned their asses!

Binary solo!

They sold colorful men's briefs at their swag table. Not sure what that was about... I never got through the huge crowd to see details. But anyway, it was one of the NIghts of Wendy's Birthday. In this case, it was the gift I got myself two months ago. So glad I did!
