Three outstanding things I've done alone since I got back to New York

So, when I lived in New York before, I worked at night and thus missed a lot of cool stuff. So upon moving back, I decreed that I would take any chance I had to see something cool, even if I had to go alone. So here are three things I've done, alone because everyone is too freaking busy. (and this is a paragraph where all the sentences start with "So". I'm such a 14 yr old girl).

1. Aleuchatistas - So I saw one of my favorite bands, Aleuchatistas, at the Cake Shop. There were only about 20 or so people there, so I got to talk to the band, who were really nice. Their music is pretty hard core progressive, lots of interesting time changes, and heavy on the 3/3, and of course I like that. Check em out if you hate pop music.

2. Deerhoof - I saw Deerhoof, one of the premiere, creative, fun bands on the indie scene, at Prospect Park, for free. Opening for them was the Metropolis Ensemble playing The Rite of Spring. They are progressive orchestra/electonic combo (i.e. real brass, percussion and string sections, and then guys w/ laptops). And then Deerhoof played an impressive set, mostly stuff from their last two albums.

3. Step-brothers (the good part) - So I saw an ad Myspace last week for a Sneak Preview of Step Brothers, the new movie with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. So I click on it and a week later I'm in line for an hour in 90 degree weather with a crabillion percent humidity. I'm also behind this guy who brought a date that was clearly not into him, and his moves resulted in her staring at the ground profusely. Like as hard as she could. Why didn't she leave? I think they were co-workers.
Anyway, the pretty MySpace girl give us free(!!!) passes, then they take our phones and cameras, and then we get in, and sit for a bit. I read about 10 pages of my current book. Wait, back up, I forgot about the part when I was cut by about 50 people because the a-hole in front of me walked like a 2 year-old, and I had an aisle seat way up in the third row. Which was awesome because a pretty MySpace girl went to the front and said, thanks for coming tonight, we have two special guests, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and everyone goes ape-shit. They came down the stairs and went right by me, so I put my fist out and they both looked me in the eye and fist-bumped me, and Will Ferrell says "Haha, just like a terrorist!" John C. Reilly had a nice seersucker jacket i need to find. They both wore name-tags like they worked at the cinema. They did there how-do-you-dos, and then the movie came on and it was really really funny. I mean, Will Ferrell's nuts are involved prominently, and so is Chewbacca, so right there you know it'll be funny.
