Long time to see

I have been busy the past few weeks, but I have had some time to squeeze in some fun.

I saw Madonna in concert at Madison Square Garden in New York on the 28th on June. That concert was so unbelievably good and so unbelievably HOT! Madonna pumped in heat, so the auditorium felt like a dance club after you have been dancing for 6 hours. Madonna played for just over 2 hours straight and of course she did not let the fans down.

July 4th, I headed out the National Mall for the fireworks. Headed out round 3 to meet some friends, but they ended up not coming out due to them smuggling in contraband; glass bottles and alcohol. They ended up going back home and I stayed on the Capitol steps for 5 hours waiting for the National Concert to begin. “George” from Seinfeld was the host and he did his little song and dance before Vanessa Williams performed followed by Elmo, then Michael Bolton and Stevie Wonder. Nearing Stevie’s conclusion the fireworks started and the show was OK, but I don’t think they compared to Boston or New York.

This past weekend I went the DC Improv to watch Christian Finnegan perform. He is a regular on VH1’s Best Week Ever and was on the Dave Chappell Show. This guy is so funny and is you have the chance to see him in your town, do so! After his show I went with Mara and Jim to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship matches at a local bar. Those matches just kick ass!

Sunday, of course, I watched the World Cup, and got see the home country win! Va l'Italia va! Pround da essere un italiano, date dei calci alla merda da quei bastardi francesi! Let’s just say I was pulling for Italy. Later that night I went to see the Gypsy Kings in concert. It was a mad rush to get a seat on the lawn at the concert hall, but we got a pretty good spot and the show was good. For an act the Gypsy Kings were not all that impressive, but they sure know how to play. They had the entire audience on their feet dancing and salsa-ing to the beat. I guess I just can’t get enough of drunken white folks trying to set free their inner Latin soul. Quite funny, but I guess you had to be there.

Well that is about it for now. I’ll keep you posted as things happen.

Peace,
