I know--how awfully pedestrian of me to spend money on a TV show-based tour. Ain't no shame if you're doing it out of love, right? And I love me some Ivan Koumaev-Iyog!

My friend and former dance teammate, LL, called me last Sunday to tell me she had a Wednesday night ticket for SYTYCD @ MSG with my....

"I'LL TAKE IT!"

Did not even give girlfriend a chance to finish what she was saying. I sadly had to reschedule my date with BA (no, not Ben Andrews...) and DWM to see Shortbus, which the three of us had initially agreed to see on the movie's opening night. Thankfully, both of them were fine with the idea of seeing the movie on Thursday.

The show was great--Ivan performed 3 full numbers with Allison (my favorite female on the Top 10). All three were from the show and were my favorites. Watching Ivan and Allison dance to Ne-yo's Sexy Love one more time AND live on stage definitely was worth the money I paid to get in. Those two have such chemistry on stage.

I'm so glad I went to see their show. The new routines they mixed with the ones they claim as their favorites were enough to keep me well entertained despite the cheesy montages that were recycled from the TV show. The montages were a bit annoying. Oh, well.
Walked home soaking in the rain. I was so excited to see Ivan live that I had forgotten to bring an umbrella. It was kind of nice because the air was warm. The rain did nothing to change the after-show glow I had on my face.

Next up: JAY BRANNAN in Shortbus tomorrow night. Can hardly wait.
