Mythical Best

We're on the road heading home after an excellent adventure. Let me backtrack.
Several years ago our daughter discovered Good Mythical Morning on YouTube. That's Rhett and Link doing a 10 to 15 minute zany, down to earth, humorous shows. Each morning she, and thousands of others, look forward to their podcast.
Then this spring they announced a 16 or so city tour in fall. Well, that caused excitement all around. Tickets went on sale in May. DH and DD decided that Atlanta was the closest show and to try to get tickets. It appeared to have crashed or be sold out when he went online so the next place was Durham, NC the last show of the tour (and also their hometown). Long story short, between the two of them, we ended up with tickets and a VIP ticket for both shows.

Saturday we drove down to Atlanta and attended the show. It was a 2 hour fun filled show of stories and music. Afterwards DD got to meet her heroes and have her picture taken with them. She did mention that she'd be at the next show. The guys were very nice, didn't seem to be in a rush and had to have been raised right. Their goal is to make people laugh.
Look at that picture. DD is over 5'6". The one on the left is 6'9" if you count the 2 inches of hair. You don't realize how tall they are if you don't see them. 
The Atlanta show was crazy. General admission with just a few chairs in the balcony. Guess where we headed!! DD was standing, yep, everyone stood, smashed close together, in the second row and took some amazing pictures with her phone.
They were so close to her. She was psyched!!!
Then we had to get up early on Sunday and head to Durham NC!! We got there in fine time and ready for a repeat. Seats were reserved so we could relax. DD was close to the front and we were in the second row of the first balcony of the Carolina Theater. Great seats!! So much better and the sound was better, too. Plus this is their hometown. The crowd was loud and excited.
The guys mentioned a lot of things including being your mythical best and not worry about stuff. The show is to help relieve stress. It works, for sure!
Again, she got to meet them later for a photo. They recognized her, asked if she'd had a good trip and how the show compared to the night before. Then they discussed the pose for the night.  Rhett suggested a peace sign so that they would know this was their second picture.
So they did!!
Driving back this morning, we stopped at the Asheville Cotton Company and DD and I looked at fabrics. You got it...bought just for her, a few pieces of fabric with a purpose...
I did more sewing last week. But the weekend trip was such fun, I thought you'd like to hear about it.
Google Good Mythical Morning and enjoy the humor...and attempts at eating gross things on the shows.
Until next week, keep weaving.
