Dec 6, 2008

I slept in pretty late today and didn't do a whole lot before it was time to pick up Chuck and Katie to head to New York. We found free parking in Jersey City and took the escalator to the PATH train.

Once we got to the city, we found the subway and headed uptown. We were running quite late and we didn't think we'd make it to the show on time.

We showed up at the address we had about twenty minutes late and found a long line of people that said they were there for Demetri Martin.

They were still letting people in and we got our wristbands to confirm we were on the list and then celebrated actually making it!

Inside the studio was pretty sweet. It was big enough for a good amount of people, but still a pretty small area. We sat in the back row and had a great view.

There was a warm-up comic and then, after applause and laughing lessons, Demetri Martin came out. This is the filming of his upcoming show, Important Things with Demetri Martin. It premieres on February 18 on Comedy Central at 10:30pm. The show was awesome. It was just what I hoped it would be, a show themed after his stand-up. He did comedy and then there were little bits and skits that were pre-recorded. It looks like it will be a great show.

Demetri is such a great guy, he hung around to talk to his fans after the show and even let us get a picture with him.

We were hungry after the show so we stopped at Jimmy's Deli on Lexington for a bite to eat. I had a chicken salad sandwich. It was tasty but Katie and I didn't feel well after we ate.

We slowly found our way back to the PATH station after several subway transfers and backtracking once.

We took the train back to the car and then drove home in a light snow. I was the only one awake on most of the drive home but it didn't seem to take too long. Now I'm ready for bed since the sun should be up any minute!
