Fourteen dollars for a comedy show proved worthy of erry penny especially because Neil Hamburger and Duncan Trussell kicked it w/ the lay people before and after the show and displayed their extraordinary nice personalities and down-to-earth attitudes by doing so (along with putting on a double double thumbs-up show). Evidence of t comes from this writer's testimony. The national touring comics chatted away with this stale, low-level comedian about piracy, standard pay for comedians (as in existent pay), and a totally gnar "vegan" chick that nonchalantly dictates a vegan dinner party then strolls along the street munchin' pepperoni pizza.
As an amateur comic, this writer got inspired by watching this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ6eMG-dfas. Duncan Trussell, as it says on the Tube, made the video. This writer had the idea to tell the fuggin former manager of the world famous Comedy Store, host of personal favorite podcast The Duncan Trussell Family Hour (see link below), and general top-shelf, top-qual comedian that the booker had offered him to see a free concert in New York, but he would have to pay for travel and lodging, instead of payment! The nice guy liked the prospect of the free show in NYC as he congenially engaged in the idea, but midway through the pranking, when the part about him having to pay for travel and a hotel, the air of the conversation sank to around this writer fucking has the mental functioning of crazy street trash. So after the last part of the prank got pulled, saying he would get this very raw deal this blogger admitted to playing of Hitler Gets Invited to South by Southwest to a joyful appreciation and relief. He exclaimed, "I was thinking, 'What is this lunacy?'" They soon had to prepare for the show, although if this writer recalls correctly, Duncan came from doing something outside and rushed the stage.
The comics put on a intellectually stimulating show that hit multiple levels of engagement such as misery fueled retail worker pessimism, seemingly effortless, beautifully rich metaphors of metaphysical nature, and the art (or severe lack of) the joke, the latter unspoken but thematically identified. The rowdy crowd seemed intelligent, reverent (yes, rowdy and reverent - 'tis Allston), and open to controversial topics. Members of the crowd, too, can consider themselves lucky fucks b/c they politely interacted w/ the opener and headliner as well, but Duncan only offered one dude that night, this dude, a mfing Allagash.

Buy they merch! Neil conversed for every 90 albums he sells, 1000 get pirated. 1/10? Uno ratio-o muy malo. He probably could eat many more hamburgers if he had a higher yield for his work, right? On that lovely note, staleaponia awaaaaaaaaaay!
