Because the world is a wonderful place, my soon-to-be hubby's 84 year old mother loves Kathy Griffin. we saw her perform in Bmore a few weeks ago, and laughed hysterically for hours. hooray, hooraw, she came back into the area with three shows in DC over the past few days, creating the perfect opprotunity to take momma to go see her. a few lessons!

1] no matter how much you prepare youself mentally, there is no way to be comfortable sitting next to an incredibly sweet 84 year old woman while a comedian makes jokes about Barbara Walter's post-menapausal choices in lube
2] i love love love watching really funny people as they start to fall in love. her descriptions of steve wozinak tickled me
3] goddamn the DC queens annoy me. you can spend your life primping and lifting to be as desireable as possible, but when 6 [SIX!] of you bump into an 84 year old woman [espeically one cool enough to like a foul mouthed fag hag comedian] without ONCE saying Excuse Me, Pardon Me, or Why Dont You Go First Ma'am, then i have no use for the lot of you. i'll take the d-list baltimore gays over the A-gay asshats anyday. thank god somehow i managed to find the one DC man with enough manners to please my midwest upbringing.
