So far 2017 has been pretty good!  Okay, we're only a little over 3 weeks into it, so I probably shouldn't make any assumptions yet!

This past Friday night, I went and saw an ICON perform.  I was lucky enough to have been able to purchase very good seats for my friend and I to attend "A Conversation with Mel Brooks" with a showing of "Blazing Saddles". I got the tickets as a birthday gift for a friend of mine. I was a little nervous as I'd purchased them way back in October and, well, Mel is 90 years-old, so scheduling stuff that far ahead..... I mean, the tickets were VERY expensive....

The show was amazing. Mel does NOT seem like he's 90 years-old!! For an hour after the movie screening he ran around the stage, told stories, jokes and made the world's best cat sounds. I'm so glad to have been able to go.  The guy still goes over to Carl Reiner's house and hangs out with him!  How cool is that?

On Sunday I went (with the same friend) to a live performance of "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist". Very good show as well! The patients that night were: Bob Saget (not as filthy as I expected him to be), Andy Kindler (who absolutely fucking killed it), Some Canadian guy who was very funny, but I can't remember his name, David Wain (also funny) and Maria Bamford (funny, filthy and silly). Laura Silverman was on stage as "Laura" for the entire show as well. Awesomely funny show.

So I had two fantastic comedy shows to brighten-up the otherwise dreary, rainy weekend (we had flash flood alerts for most of the weekend!). I walked over to get a pedicure on Sunday morning, got poured on and had my umbrella blown inside out!  (My toes look amazing though, so it was worth it!). I'm glad I went to the shows though, I'd been thinking about staying home and out of the rain, but I'm happy I forced myself to go out to a shitty part of downtown Los Angeles, face the elements and see some good comedy. I need to do that more often!  Well, maybe not the going to a shitty part of downtown Los Angeles bit.

After such a great weekend, I'm now kinda bummed.  I had a hair appointment scheduled for today, but it's been rescheduled. I was really looking forward to having someone else wash and dry my hair.... and to have my roots taken care of, but mainly having someone else wash and dry my hair for me. Ah well. I can wait a couple of days.

What else is going on? Not much, which is good!  Bring on the rest of the week! I hope this "good" trend continues!! 😀
