Date night with Phil, a photo essay
February 25th, 2010 | by TJ |
Why so excited, Phil? Is it because of how great I look for our date?
That’s only part of it? There’s more?
Oh! Is it because we’re seeing Dashboard Confessional and Bon Jovi tonight?
Oh, I’m excited about that, too! But it’s also a little bit because I look so nice tonight, right?
Cool, I thought so, too. All this hair in my eyes really brings out how I have two eyes for hair to get into, you know? Anyway, what do you say we go sit down?
All right, I’ve got the tickets, let’s go!
What do you think of our seats, Phil?
Me, too! They’re a little high, but we can see everything from up here and you can’t beat $10 military discount tickets, you know?
I, too, love a good discount, Phil! Shh, here comes Dashboard Confessional!
*songs*
*songs*
*songs*
Wow, weren’t they great!
And that means it’s almost time for Bon Jovi, are you excited?
Okay, let’s pay attention to the stage now!
“So I told the guy, ‘Dude. I’m Jon Bon Jovi. Don’t even try to make my grilled cheese with anything other than Kraft American Singles.’ I mean, do you believe that guy?”
“Sorry, zoned out there for a second thinking about grilled cheese.”
“Hey, is he serious?”
“Don’t make a thing about it.”
“He brought… an acordian.”
“Yeah, well, Tico’s over to your right playing a box.“
“Bam bam bam I’m a dude and a box bam bam bam I’m the drummer on a box bam bam bam rockin’ out on this box.”
“I like your chair slash box. Very economical use of space.”
“Thanks, I like your guitar with the spare neck. It’s good to be prepared.”
“YOU GUYS LOOK OVER HERE! I’M OUT IN FRONT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 27 YEARS! I BROUGHT AN ACORDIAN!”
“Do you guys smell something? I smell something.”
“Aw, MAN.”
“Foo! Pleh! Marrgh! I am RANK!”
“This is so embarrassing, I could just cry!”
“I just want to throw down my maracas and run away! Heh. Runaway. Get it?”
“Why now? Why NOW, so close to the end of the show?”
“Relax, man! We’ve been together for 27 years! Do you think a little stink is going to stop us? We can pull together as a Bon Jovi team and get through this. See? I’ll jam this microphone up my nose. I can’t smell you at all!”
“I’ll keep whipping my head around so that my magnificent blonde locks shield my entire face!”
“I’ll try to breathe just through my mouth!”
“You guys… would do all that… for me? Shit! This is the best band a guy could ever ask for! Let’s play Livin’ on a Prayer and get out of here before I tear up!”
*LIGHTS OUT*
So, what did you think, Phil?
Me, too!

That’s actually why we ended up going. Because it would make you jealous.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

It looks like Phil really enjoyed himself, and I hope his face managed to unfreeze so he can have more than just one expression again.

At first I was beginning to wonder if Phil had teeth.

Sounds like you two had a blast.
Did you have to smush Phil’s face like playdoh to unstick it when the concert was over?

TLDR
JK, it was hilarious, especially the use of the same photo multiple times.
