Everyone out there should know 2 things about me.

1. Music is my friend

2. Comedy is my friend

Yesterday was one of the greatest days of my life, and this had to do with number 2(…. hahah that sounds funny ) Yesterday was the day that I met Demetri Martin. So hold on to your hats…. this is going to be a long story.

I have been in love with Demetri Martin since the day that I first saw him on Conan. Hes a unique comedian that uses music and his charm to tell his jokes. I found out that was Demetri Martin was doing a show at the Winter Garden Theater, and I was EXTREAMLY excited. One problem… gah the tickets were $35. So, Melissa and I decided to just go down to the theater and see if we can meet him, and just get an autograph or something.

We got to the theater around 5:30pm and started to keep an eye out for Demetri. While waiting we came across some scalpers who were selling tickets to see Meatloaf, some homeless people, and a teenage skateboarding gang. And my skateboarding gang, I mean about 12 kids who whipped buy us on skateboards like to imagine they fight crime.

It was getting close to 7, and we were starting to think that we might have to go home empty handed. That is… until I saw a couple of guys come out of a cab across the street. It was Demetri… OH MY GOSH IT WAS DEMETRI!!! As he was coming across the street me and Mel just stared at him in awe. We would of missed him if Melissa didn’t yell out "DEMETRI!". We scurried over to him, and all I could do was just stare at him and say "Oh my gosh! This is so rad!". Nothing else would come out. He said hi and asked if we were coming to the show. Melissa told him we couldn’t afford the tickets, and you could tell he felt sorry for our lame asses. He told us that he would try and get our names on the list, and ran off somewhere. At this point and time, me and Mel were freaking out. We were SO giddy. A little after, Demetri’s sister came out and told us that there were tickets waiting for us at the box office. HELLA INSANE!

We then went up to the theater and bought some stickers and shizz while we waited. When it was time to be seated this usher-trainee was trying to seat us. He looked like Spenny from Kenny vs Spenny… which annoyed me… HA! he didn’t even know where our seats were… I found our seats, and he was like… "oh… k…". PSHHHH that guy was an ass.

THEN THE SHOW STARTED.

First was this Irish comedian named David O’Doherty… not to be confused with the mathamatician . David plays a RAD novelty keyboard, and he made great jokes about text messaging.

Next was Leo Allen, who was a great comedian… but he didn’t play an instrument, so point off there .

And last and DEFINATELY not least was Demetri Martin. He was great. He was amazing. His joke about mixing up the wording to the cliche "i wouldn’t touch that with a 10 foot pole" make me laugh so hard my checks felt like they were going to fall off. He played alot of instruments. Multiple instruments at the same time even… WHAT A SPECTACLE when he played harmonica, guitar, tambourine and foot bells. INSANE! It was so great. He even played keyboard and Guitar and worked a Powerpoint presentation AT THE SAME TIME! Now thats Talent. Just believe me when I say it was a great show.

After the show, me an Mel went to the Merch stand to meet up with him again. There was a gaggle of yuppies there trying to do the same thing so we had to wait a while. When it finally came for us to meet him, he remembered us from before. We thanked him and I got him to sign an overhead transparency. Mel got him to sign one of the stickers that she bought, which he signed in an awesomely cute way. I gave him the drawing that I made of him and he said "Ive been wanting to get more into drawing" and "i like your hands" referring to the hands that i drew. He also said "You made me even more handsomer". Demetri wanted me to sign the drawing which was soooo cute and nice. We got a picture of him, and left the theater, knowing that this was one of the best experiences that I have ever had.
