Well it Ain't Brain Surgery

So for Ben's birthday, I bought him surprise tickets to Jim Gaffigan, arguably the funniest comedian alive. It was so genius! We've been watching the tivo-ed show of his just about every week since March. We were excited to go see him and loved the
show. So did Tessa and Duffy - I was glad they came too.

Afterwards, the announcer came on and said, "Jim Gaffigan will be signing DVDs in the upper level balcony following the show." I said to Ben, "oh yes! Honey, we
have to get a picture with him, how funny and great would that be?" But Ben
said it'd probably be really crowded and not really worth our wait. So I
agreed and we headed for the exit. Being seated pretty close to the doors, I
was the first person to exit our section, and I nearly hit Jim Gaffigan
himself with the door as I flung it open!
WOWEE! So being the go-getter I am, (thank you mom), I asked him if we could be
first to get a picture. The rent-a-cops looked questioning and dumb-founded, but
Jim said okay and I asked one of the security guards to take a picture. Cause
c'mon, "It ain't brain surgery!" (but obviously she doesn't know how to take a
picture)



So how awesome! If you haven't heard his shtick, go rent it, or watch for it on
Comedy Central. Beyond the Pale is a great and memorable routine! Thanks for the laughs Jim! (by the way, he really IS pale)

    Does Tessa have short hair? and is she serious with this boy?
