we were headed downtown to the wang theatre to see impractical jokers live. when we get there, we park. as we head down, there is a crowd of people standing outside the theatre. mind you, it’s cold, perhaps the coldest day in boston thus far. it’s 1 degree, but with windchill it’s -19 degrees. we stand outside for 40 minutes. come to find out, it was so cold some pipes burst in the theatre causing a flood. we go back to the car, where it’s warm, and monitor twitter. a couple next to us does the same thing. 40 more minutes go by and the guy in the car next to us knocks on my window. he said they cancelled the show and rescheduled for april 29th. hungry, we look for food. we find a cambodian-french cuisine restaurant. it was strange seeing my native dishes on a menu in a major city, but i embraced it. the food wasn’t that good, but the passionfruit club soda was incredible. our waiter had a seizure but bounced back after a few minutes. it wasn’t in front of us, but we were notified by the manager. our waiter comes over and explains that he had a traumatic brain injury at the age of 13. then when he was 19, he had spinal meningitis. he said he was good to go after his neurologist took him off of a few meds. i’m glad he’s able to bounce back from those two things, because those are definitely scary situations. we ended the night going to jp licks. i got a cookies and cream frappe to end the night.
which didn’t end so bad after all.
