Oh, to keep my good fellows up-to-date with my latest escapades. Neil Patrick Harris hosting The Cube US was one of the greatest things, ever. I've never understood how you could feel so much for the contestants, I wanted them to succeed so much (but alas, none of them won any money). All the different camera stuff was great to watch and Neil was especially funny when the cameras were turned off - He done an evil laugh when talking about how The Cube hasn't let anyone win, and someone in the audience shouted Dr. Horrible, which was awesome. Everyone was all "Suit Up!" and stuff as well which is crazy awesome. He was actually wearing the grey suit with black tie combo that he wears all the time. It was amazing to see him RL. Lived up to my expectations, perhaps even surpassing them.
Also, there was a guy, the one who's job it is is to make the audience happy, the stand-up guy, called Terry who named this other guy the 'Yellow Tie Man' and was so cringey. Shouting stuff like "You can do it!" in the midst of silence - literally, whenever he spoke (a lot!) the audience collectively sighed. It was actually quite amazing. You get it occasionally in class rooms, but only with a few individuals mocking the one, but this was an entire audience wishing this man wasn't there. Legendary. One of his most irritating comments, apart from his saying he's here because of some stupid fake website, was that he said it was way better than "Heads or Tails" and when he left, after he couldn't blow up a balloon in some stupid competition, he said "Oh well, I've had a great time tonight!".
Also, you know, since tickets to these things are free, I was also amazed when they dished out the food. Chicken Salad sandwich, pack of pretzels, dairy milk bar and a bag of Jelly Beans. You don't get free food just anywhere, so yeah, that was also awesome.
Overall, it was an unforgettable evening, NPH was so fantastic. 6:30PM till well, we left at 11:05PM because we couldn't miss the last train, but it was still going on with the last final contestant, a Woo Girl so an absolutely spectacular few hours.
