Michael Ian Black Rawks

Michael Ian Black (plaid shirt) and MEC crew

MEC's first event was a success!  Lots of people showed up to see Michael Ian Black, and as for my first time seeing him perform, he really is funny!  I had never heard of him before until the first meeting of MEC when our president, Travis, announced this event.

Most comedians work their comedy through ethnic humor, but Michael doesn't.  He tells real-life stories (though beefed up with the funny) that anyone could relate to and tells them in the most hilarious ways.  From his hour long performance, he told the audience about embarrassing stories from his life such as going to a strip club, a hotel bathroom experience, his first time smoking pot, the makings of his first child, and his first time skydiving.  Pretty major ordinary instances in a person's life, but he makes them funny.

Again, I know he's not a musician or artist BUT he did do a funny impression singing Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" - now that was funny.

On behalf of MEC, I'd like to thank Michael for coming down to Texas and giving a good show.  MEC has many more events planned for the semester (and year), so I hope some of my friends come out and have a good time!  We have Blues on the Patio in about two or three weeks coming up and also an open mic night!  Hope to see some peeps there!
