it was not your fault but mine

so we went to see the stage show of pawn stars yesterday. hilarity ensued. first of all, it was in a restored theater that i went on a photo walk in and took these right before my berfday last year:

that being said: (disclaimer) it's the show on the history channel-las vegas pawn store. it was the dad, son, and chum lee (who is completely catering to his public perception of being dumb as the proverbial rock-was fairly disheartening).

it was their first show and apparently all the kinks weren't quite worked out. they were showing off a previously purchased 200 year old scroll of japanese porn-it was a "tutorial" for new brides (yikes!). on stage they were like, 'don't unroll it all the way. there are kids here' yeah. problem was the giant screen behind them showing closeups of the two painted characters having sex-the dude had a huge exaggerated penis, it was hysterically awkward. 

then they went to the "pawn your items" audience segment. a  pretentious jerk went up to have his astronaut crap appraised. "it went to the moon, i KNOW how much it's worth blah blah blah". he was obnoxious and rude....and then some random chick in the audience screamed (after 5 minutes of his crap), "GO AWAY!" i love worcester.

added bonus: they had an unfortunately titled segment: "are you smarter than a chum lee?"
they invited a nine and A HALF year old (he was adamant about that divided year) up on stage and asked him to guess how much an old barbershop chair was worth (it was a photo of one they own).
kid says, as if on cue: "well, it looks like a piece of crap, so i say fifty bucks."
BWAAAAAAH. the overtly obnoxious emcee almost peed herself with glee. the over excitement, not the harmonious show.

BONUS:

my friend carlos (he is one of the few perks of etsy) is dj'ing a smiths/morrisey night in nyc and asked for drink names. four (out of seven!) of mine are featured! AHEM. 1. johnny marrtini. 2. girlfriend in a coma. 3. mai tai love life 4. vermouth strikes again. mwaaaaahahahahaha.

johnny marrtini=personal best.
