Jerz and I headed over to Berkeley on Friday nite to see Dane Cook. If you know who he is than right now you are probably feeling a little jealous and inadequate. That’s natural. Seeing him perform makes me better than you. If you don’t know who he is, then don’t worry. Life just got better. Go pick up his DVD and ruin your couch in a piss-drenched laugh-fest.

I’m not gay, but I am in love with the guy.

So if you ever travel to Berkeley, use a helicopter or parachute in. You. Will. Not. Find. Parking. Anywhere. I got pretty nervous thinking that we’d miss part of the show, since you have to wait for someone to die or carjack someone for a parking space. Finally we made it. It’s a good thing I got my tickets online- and paid to be up front, right? right??!?

Here is where I would spend several paragraphs ranting and raving about how the awesome 5th row seats I bought didn’t exist, and how after sitting through the opening act we got booted back so far he was smaller than on TV… but thanks to the SUPERB staff I got a full refund. It’s almost a pity ’cause it would have been really funny stuff.

As for the show, it rocked. Dane Cook has a style you just can’t imitate. His jokes come from some alternate universe where the stupid stuff you and I say is really really funny. I had those nasty, crusty tear trails on my face as we left.

He did stuff from his CD, stuff I’ve seen on the clips on his site, and around 50% of the material I didn’t recognize. The set went for a while, too. Over an hour. Needless to say I left pleased. tho choking down anger over the aforementioned story-which-must-not-be-told.

Now I sit a happy boy- money refunded, laughs laughed and maybe just a smidgen confused about my orientation. Now isn’t that what we’re all after?
