I ain't lyin'

Went to see Justin Timberlake at MSG with atraxia last night, and it was the most fun I've had in days. It was an almost celestial alignment o' fun: a great companion, random interactions with crazy city dwellers (and yes, random dude, I also have no idea why the woman you were trying to hit on wasn't impressed by your opening line that she looked "absolutely fucking smart". He then went on to walk beside us and justify his response by saying "she didn't look like she'd go to Baruch [College], you know, but like she'd go to Harvard Business School or some shit". Dude was a complete stranger, mind), drunken kids (okay, that wasn't so fun, but the potential for beef starting was a thrill), and dick in a box. Seriously, why didn't anyone tell me about this before?

Also, thanks to Blender for pointing out this little gem: Aries Spears going crazy on the mike, channeling LL, Snoop, DMX, and Jay-Z.

I don't know whether to be ridiculously amused or completely disturbed by that.

...I think I'll do both.

Ha! *grin* You're where I was initially. I was sitting next to my friend as we were waiting for an encore perfomance and she started shouting "Dick in a Box"! and I'm all "whaaaaaaaa?". Once the performance began it was so surreal I had to run with it. Good for a guilty chuckle, at the very least.

Hahahaha. I saw that "dick in a box" thing the other day, and I just about died laughing.

The instructions on how to make the gift was the best part. Silly fun for the whole family! or not.

That Aries Spears clip is insane!

I knew he was good from MadTV (back when I watched it anyway), but his Jay-Z in particular is off the hook. The man's great with the freestyling and the impersonations.

You're friends with K. K., and you seem like an interesting person, so I friended you. Just a heads up. Hi.

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Cool beans. Howdy, Klaw. Nice to make your LJ acquaintance.

omg, if i had known you were missing out on the wonders that was "dick in a box", i would have gladly shared. i made people stop working the following monday after the SNL to watch the clip on YouTube :)

so was JT as amazing as i think he is in concert? damn i wish i was able to get tickets for the show here in atl - or knew someone who would want to go.

I haven't watched SNL consistently since my dorming days (I remember the exact line-up on Saturdays: SNL, Showtime at the Apollo, Highlander - a trifecta of awesome), so I always miss out on all the funny. I heard that the Jake Gyllenhaal monologue was pretty laugh-worthy...dude was in drag?

JT was okay. We kept wishing his ass had engaged in more shaking, and I found myself calling him a "budget Usher" on the occasion. I mean, dude can sing, dude has stage presence, but I wanted more gratuitous pants dropping and oiled chest baring. That too much to ask?

i haven't watched it in years either, but fortunately someone posted it on ONTD and i was lucky enough to see.

no, no it is not too much to ask for. you give the ladies what they want JT, and that usually involves skin.
