I think the first Capitol Steps special I ever heard was a fourth of July special. I remember laughing very hard. After that I looked forward to each and every performance that came on NPR. The Capitol Steps are a comedy troop made up, mostly, of people who have worked for various congressmen and senators over the years. It started as a gag at a Christmas party and is now a thriving business. Their website is www.capsteps.com and they have some of their songs up to listen to if you have no idea what I am babbling about.<\/p>\n
Peter found out that the Capitol Steps would be coming to a local theater and got tickets for it. Last night we went to the performance and this morning my sides still hurt. There was a whole Lirty Dies section that once you got how it was done, you could translate it in your brain that was just one of the funniest things I have heard in a long time and remember I was at the Colbert Report about two weeks ago. I was also very partial to a song called “10 pills and you’re fine” about the commercials you see on TV produced by the drug companies.<\/p>\n
We got a CD afterwards and chatted with the group about various subjects including the Mets.<\/p>\n
We were thinking about going into the city today but considering that the weather is flipping between ice and rain, I think we are going to bag that idea and find something to do around the house.<\/p>\n
I am grateful that I was able to see the Capitol Steps live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
