I SAW CHEECH & CHING LIVE!!!!!!!!

    I saw Cheech & Chong live in Boston on Friday with my old Friend Garrett.  It was really cool.  Their opening act was Shelby Chong, Tommy Chong's wife, doing stand-up.  She was ok.  Then Cheech & Chong came out.  They were hilarous.  They started the show with a recreation of the opening of Up in Smoke, almost word for word.  The part of the car was played by two chairs on stage.  Most of what they did was just recreate all their old bits they did in the '70s, which was perfectly fine with us.  It was kind of like seeing them back in the '70s, except for the Bush jokes and they jokes about Tommy Chong being in Jail.  A lot of the audience was drinking heavenly, which I wouldn't give a shit about but some people a couple rows in front of us would stand up and go buy more beer every like 15 minutes and when they stood up we couldn't see.  The show started at about 7:50pm and was over by like 9:40pm, which was short.  When we were leaving I was looking at their merch and bought a pin pack and the DVD a/k/a Tommy Chong, which I've wanted to see for a while.  There was a couple T-Shirts I really liked but their shirts were $40 and $50, and for anyone who knows me I would never pay that much for a shirt.  I figured I could just look on eBay for the shirt I wanted because I'm sure it's on there.  Then when we were leaving the building there were two buys on the sidewalk outside selling knock-off T-shirts for $20, so I bought one.  We took the T in and the last T leaves at 12:15 and it really wasn't too too cold in Boston so we decided to wander Boston until we had to catch the last train.  We wondered Boston from about 9:50 to 11:55.  We walked a lot of the streets around Tremont St., then we walked around the Boston Common, then we walked back up Tremont St. to the Burger King because we both really had to piss, then we walked down Tremont St. towards the Theatre District and walked from their to the Prudential Center (which is far).  We roamed Copley Plaza for a few minutes, the stores were all closed but we could still go in and get out of the cold, they we caught the train home.
