I was recently persuaded by a fellow geek to watch the 2007 HBO series Flight of the Conchords and I’m glad I gave in. It is THE funniest show I have ever seen in my entire life (sorry, Friends).

by Deckard on January 10, 2012 in Music
I believe this was around 2007, when my brother-in-law and sister were able to get great seats to catch John Williams conduct the NY Philharmonic at Lincoln Center. They asked me if I wanted to join.
