I miss Brett, Jemain & Murray


I found the most creative and different television show recently - the Flight of the Conchords on HBO. It's about these two New Zealand musicians and the crazy antics they get into while carving out a meager existance in NYC. It's hilarious.

Like paying their rent in New Zealand dollars which ultimately lead to their eviction.

Or trying to have a rock band-like career with no fans. Mel doesn't count.

Or using Murray for their manager. He's the New Zealand Cultural Attache working at the NYC embassy who takes attendance at every meeting. He's never without his pencil. He's also never without a clue.

My problem is that I think the Flight of the Conchords season finale was this past weekend. And there's really no other show like this one. The blend in their music so well. I also think they created fewer than the normal 22 season episodes, so I'm truly out of luck because I didn't miss any.

But then I found this - Flight of the Conchords is actually having a North American tour! And they'll be playing at Kent State University - less than an hour from me. But I'm still screwed because their only Ohio date is the same date as my family's next scheduled visit here.

How rude would it be to put them off to go see this crazy Kiwi act?

I'm actually considering it.
