Love is Evol

A week ago I found myself with a spare minute and was browsing the interwebs. For whatever reason, I decided to see if Christopher Titus was touring. I love Titus, it was a smart, funny show ahead of it's time and it saddens me that it was cancelled.

As soon as I googled, there at the top was "Christopher Titus: State Theater, Falls Church, VA" April 1st...OMG!!! Of course, immediately get on the horn to the hubs squealing like a piggie from excitement and We got our tickets immediately.
Fast forward to April 1st. I decided to meet hubby at the metro station to save taking two cars to the venue, which meant taking the metro orange line. OK, now it's important to point out that I have ridden the orange line before....The orange line and Blue line run on the same track for a period of time and split at Rosslyn station. They usually alternate. Well one day I left work after the usual day of hell (construction has no good days unless we are receiving a bonus) and was reading a book. Well the orange line train went by so I just assume the next train is the blue one, and since I'm very involved in my book, I just hop the next train, sit down and just read...

Both trains end up going above ground, blue line to the airport and orange line down I66. I'm sitting there and look up from my book and realize that there is a highway on both sides of the train...then hear the announcement, "Next stop, Vienna" What?! I just rode the entire length of the Orange line...a 45 minute detour from where I should have been..well ever since then I've been bitter and hate the Orange line. (although, really, it's all my fault) Well I got on the Orange line and head off towards Vienna and got picked up in Falls by the hubs.

We get to the theater ,have dinner and wait. Then the show begins. I'm extremely excited. I love Titus and have ever since his show, which of course was cancelled too soon, which Fox is so dependable for (hello, Family Guy!) and it was great. He's working on new material for his next show and then he went into his last show, "Love is Evol" which is about his divorce and very funny. It ended up being a 2 1/2 hour show. With a meet and greet!

We were in line and I was shaking, which was unusual but I was just too excited. The guy in front of me asked me to take a pic for him and I tried, but I was just shaking too much..lol and then we got our picture and he signed out tickets..(didn't think to bring the DVDs sittin gat home, epic fail on my part) and we headed home, very happy.
