Josh Groban

Last night Jason and I had the privilege of seeing one of the most talented singers in the industry. What could be better then Josh Groban at the garden? Jason gave me the tickets for Christmas and I've been so excited that I can't believe it's already come and gone. It was so nice to just sit back and listen to his amazing voice, I loved when he sang in Spanish and Italian - I didn't understand it, but it was so amazing. Jason was in pretty good spirits until we arrived and he realized he was surrounded by millions of middle aged women. We spotted a few men, but they were pretty hard to come by. He sang all the hits from his new CD "Awake" and a few classics, but I have to admit the night wasn't complete until he came out to sing "You Raise Me Up" wearing a NY Rangers jersey. It was a little cheesy and kind of ruined the moment, but if you've ever seen or heard Josh Groban you'll know that's how he is.

Over the weekend we got tickets to go see a live taping of Comedy Central's "Live at Gotham". NYU occasionally offers free tickets to see live tapping's and we just happened to land tickets to a comedy show. At first we were a little nervous, we've never been to an actual comedy show, let alone a taping for Comedy Central. So we were expecting it to be a little crude but it actually wasn't that bad. We were the first in line so going in I was afraid we would be sat right in front and sure enough we were. It was a small bar with a little stage and our table was right up against the stage. I've never been to a live taping of anything before so it was fun to pretend to laugh and clap while they taped us. Robert Schimmel was the host followed by 6 up and coming comedians. One of which cracked a Mormon joke, but it wasn't mean or funny. It was a little awkward however, when the cameraman would hold the camera in my face for 5 minutes so I had to pretend to laugh. All in all it was a funny night although we didn't find out when it will be shown on TV, but we'll be sure to keep you informed when we find out. We love all the fun we've been having and can't wait for each weekend to come so that we can try some new adventure.
