I'm pretty chuffed with it. Just wish I'd had it more together to post earlier in the morning.

Late night, last night.
Flight of the Conchords were brilliant, but the sold-out audience had its fair share of douchewits, the sort of people who shout out random bits of nothingness because they apparently believe a thousand people came to hear them, not the performers.
Best surprise: second-row balcony seats are actually very, very good at Milwaukee's Much-Larger-Than-I-Thought-It-Would-Be Riverside Theater.Second-best surprise? The opening act was Arj Barker (Dave from the HBO series), doing a quite good stand-up routine.
Worst mistake: hitting George Webb's for a burger after the gig (simply because I'd never had a George Webb burger). I know they're kind of a Milwaukee institution. They're cheap, but just not very good.
Still, the Conchords show was long, hilarious, and some of the new material was inspired - even if Jemaine and Brett seemed to have a bit of difficulty figuring either the new songs or the new instruments out from time to time.
Would it be churlish to express disappointment that some fan favorite songs were missing ("Beautiful Girl," "She's So Hot, Boom," and "Foux De Fa Fa" being the obvious ones)? Possibly. But "Jenny," "Think About It, Think Think About It," "A Kiss Is Not A Contract," "Albi" and "Hiphopapotamus v Rhymenocerous" (amongst many, many others) all made for an enormously satisfying - if generously late - evening.
Very, very best part of the evening? Seeing Judith enjoy the show so enormously, from start to finish.
