Last Friday night, Steve and I went to see Joel McHale at the Flint Center in Cupertino (for those of you who don’t know Northern California, it falls in the generic realm of “Bay Area”). Joel McHale is a stand-up comedian who hosts a show on the E! network called “The Soup.” The show basically pokes fun at pop culture. Primarily is mocks other TV shows, but it strays into celebrity news as well. It’s a good way to know what the kids these days are watching without having to actually watch any of it.
The show was a lot of fun. Steve and I were certainly in the nosebleed section… the very last (top) row of the highest balcony. But, hey, we were there to hear the man talk. We already know what he looks like.
His comedy style was a perfect match for both of us, especially Steve, since he relishes in saying things that make people uncomfortable. I won’t give an example, since I’m sure most of the readers of this blog don’t have quite the same sense of humor that we do, but it was quite crass and hilarious.
We had a wonderful time. Even getting there was easy because I accidentally ended up in the wrong lane coming in toward the Flint Center (which is on a college campus) and wound up following some students to a deserted parking lot with easy access to the center without waiting in line for half an hour to get into the overflowing parking structure.
It was great first comedy show for us. We have always enjoyed watching stand-up on Comedy Central, and after that positive experience, we will definitely go out and do it again.

Wow, an actual date with your husband. I've seen him on The Soup and he is not that crass, but maybe his stand alone stand-up bit is harder line.
I know Cupertino well. I lived there for a year while on a project (it's where I spent 9/11).
