Manic Monday - Club

This week’s Manic Monday word is Club, so I thought this would be the perfect time to tell you about our Friday date night. Eric and I went to see Kathy Griffin while Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids.

I know I’ve talked about Kathy Griffin before. I am a big, big fan!! She was at Starlight Amphitheatre here in Kansas City, which is one of my favorite venues. About a week before the show, Eric got an email from Starlight giving him the chance to buy tickets to their VIP club for the show. Apparently, if you have VIP club tickets, you get to enjoy dinner and drinks in their nice little club at Starlight before the show. It was only $45 per person. I really wanted to do it since Eric and I don’t get many date nights.

Eric thought an extra $90 was way too much especially since it didn’t include VIP parking. *sigh* So we went to Mr. Goodcents to eat before going to the show. Dude! That is sooo not the same thing. Speaking of parking, I did wonder how that works as we walked into the venue. They park everyone out in a field and you walk up to Starlight. However, there are a lucky few who get to park in the up-close parking lot. I would seriously like to know what club you have to join or whose d*ck you have to suck to get a good parking spot. Seriously, I’m curious.

Anyway, back to Kathy Griffin. Even though we were not VIP club members, we still had an awesome freaking time, and she was on for two hours! I was very impressed. She was very funny, and when she talked about Paula Abdul and Nancy Grace, I thought I was going to pee my pants. I literally laughed so hard that I cried. Here is just a little snippet of Kathy Griffin talking about Paula Abdul and American Idol. Freaking hilarious! If you ever get a chance to go see her live, GO!!!

13 Kathy Griffin Quotes

Something you may not know about me is that I am a HUGE Kathy Griffin fan. I think she is freaking hysterical, and she makes me laugh so hard that I am in tears. She has a reality show on Bravo called My Life on the D-List, and if you are not watching it, you should be!

I just found out today that Kathy is coming to my area in October, and I am so excited that I could pee my pants. I love her!! So, please enjoy 13 random quotes by the hilariously funny Kathy Griffin.

1. (About the Oprah Winfrey Show) “I love the show and I watch it every day, but I can’t help but make fun of her because . . . she thinks she’s Jesus.”

2. (About Clay Aiken) “Even the guys on Queer Eye are like, “that fag?”

3. “I saw Tommy Lee at an awards show, and I got crabs just from looking at him!”

Since my TT can’t deliver Kathy’s comic timing, I found a great 2-minute YouTube clip for you to enjoy from Kathy’s most recent special, “Everybody Can Suck It.”
