Yes, these pics are bad. I was 5th row but my phone cam isn't exactly great in low lighting.











Dave holding the purse left onstage by a girl who had climbed onto a guy's shoulders during intermission in an attempt at getting Dave's attention (Dave spend his intermission break posing for photos and signing things for fans). When the guy tried to pick her up, he stumbled backwards into the front row chairs and a strap broke on her top. When Dave found her purse, she gave him a little show while retrieving it. The last time I saw her, a pouty-looking boyfriend-type was refusing to hold her hand as they left the show.





Erykah Badu and Talib Kweli were the guests, what a show. It was Erykah's birthday. The director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Dave Chapelle's Block Party, Michel Gondry, ended up on drums by the end of the night.




I had no idea how great Erykah Badu was until seeing her live. If you get a chance, don't pass it up.
