Last night I sat on a blanket at Wolftrap with Adam, Jason, and Cris, and enjoyed an evening of comedy will Bill Cosby. It was an awesome night for an outdoor concert - warm and clear with just a hint of a breeze. Adam worried that I'd be too hot with my jeans and 3/4 length shirt, but I was supremely happy basking in the heat and the humidity.

I've never had much exposure to Bill Cosby the stand-up comedian. I loved The Cosby Show, of course, and ate my fair share of Jell-O. But I think he's even funnier when he's up on stage just being himself. He tells hilarious, rambling, nostalgic stories of his childhood memories. He mixes subtle physical comedy in with the intellectual, and delivers it all in that classic Cosby rhythm. He spoke for almost two hours, and rarely missed a beat. I don't think I saw him even drink his water more than once the entire time!

The evening was a truly enjoyable one, and I'm very glad that we went. I might even have to put some of his DVDs on the Netflix queue my super wonderful boyfriend's Netflix queue!
