We can't be silent cuz they might be giants and what are we gonna do unless they are?

holy effing shit.
the they might be giants show was unfuckingbelievable. it was spectacular. it was more than i could have asked for.
it took us about 3 days to get to south nyack, due to the fact that andy kept not paying attention (he blames juliet, despite the fact that he was on the phone each time he got onto the wrong highway) and the mapquest or yahoo! maps directions were, as usual, faulty. seriously, it said to make a right off the exit.
we drove for miles down a deserted winding road.
and finally turned around.
in real life, IT WAS A LEFT OFF THE EXIT.
so needless to say we were about 20 minutes late.
we walked in as they started to play "particle man!" i was transported back to 1994 when we used to discuss whether "particle man" was to be loved or hated. needless to say, i was stoked. some silly boy gave young jules a wonderful foam finger that proclaimed "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS!" and she was like, coooool.
we were in the 5th row.
we were soooooooo close to john and john that i just sat there with this huuuuuuuge ass smile on my face. they were so great. the band is just awesome. they played "you're not the boss of me now" which was fun, but they didn't play "hot diggety dog" as i hoped, unless of course we missed it.
the best part of the show? oh, i was just getting to that.
so they have us all stand up. now, this is the same theater that we saw "rocky horror" in. not that that makes a difference in my tale. i just thought i'd mention that i'd been there before.
so we're standing and they play their "theme" which is "NO!" and everyone is dancing and having fun and then they go right into "clap your hands..." which is my FAVORITE of their kid's songs so me and juliet are jumping and down and so are all of the other parents around us. THEN!!!! they play "BIRDHOUSE IN MY SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" which is my FAVORITE tmbg song of COURSE and reminds me so much of 10th grade and rollerblading at the crossroads and just a simpler, happy time. (not happier. but a lot simpler).
oh man. it was just fantabulous.
in front of us were a row of just plain old adults. tmbg nerds. no kids with them. i loved them the most. this one balding boy in front of me knew every damn word to every damn kid song, it was ridiculous.
but yea.
as we were leaving (and i got quite claustraphobic) i saw some awful, old mother saying "oh, that wasn't as kid friendly as i'd expected. it was so loouuud." so i pushed her down the aisle and she fell and a horde of people trampled her. oh no, i just gave her a dirty look and said, "Juliet, wasn't that just awesome?" to which she replied, "robot parade!" which was i guess her fave song of the show, despite the fact that it was her first time hearing it in awhile.
