Oh Craig Part 1


On Tuesday, November 2nd my friend Christine and I went to see Craig Ferguson talk with Lewis Black at the El Rey Theater. We were both so excited to see Craig because he is one of our idols and we just love him because he's hilarious! So knowing that it's November 2nd, it was time to vote. We went to class, ran and voted then drove towards the El Rey Theater. Going there we stopped and ate and looked out if we saw any roboskellies walking around maybe just wasting some time before seeing him. The time finally came and we got an awesome parking spot and walked to get in line. There wasn't too many people there, but it was nice to talk to some folks that were waiting and drinking some wine before hand in line. (Cheers to those people!) As we were waiting we saw Lewis Black just walking around outside the theater and talking to "his people", we didn't want to bother him or anything but he did crack a few jokes to us later on. Then before we got in, we saw Craig pull up. He was walking in, a few people yelled "Hey Craig!" and he turned and smiled but while turning it head and smiling, he bumped into a guy and looked like he almost kissed him. Some people laughed and Craig made a joke out of it. Craig finally went inside to get ready for "the talk".

We finally got in, and sat down. It was General Admission, so you can sit where ever you want. Luckily, Christine and I got pretty close to the left side in the third row. To us, it seemed like the best spot in the house. We were close enough to see and weren't too close so we wont strain our necks looking up at our leader. Craig and Lewis came out with their coffee and started to chat. Craig was cracking all the jokes that night, and he was pretty good. Lewis Black couldn't stop laughing, I honestly think at one point I saw Lewis Black wipe his eyes because he was laughing that hard! 

Then finally they took some questions from the audience. Christine and I tried to think of a good question to ask but sadly we didn't of a  good one to ask. Lots of people has questions, and Craig and Lewis took them very seriously. At first they were all about the voting from that day, and then it shifted to mostly questions about Craig and if he's writing a screenplay or not (which he is). Then people asked what Craig and Lewis's option was on certain Props in CA. It was mostly about Prop 19 and such, and someone yelled out some random stuff that Craig clearly ignored at first, but then finally answered her question. 

Then sadly, it was over. Craig signed a few books and posters to some fans. Then he left, and Christine and I went to our car and drove off with a big smile waiting for Friday. Continue to part 2 if you want to know what happens....

(Hint: Craig Ferguson+San Diego= AWESOME!!!)
