(Her words: "He's skipping town right after the show is over.") That was a huge disappointment. I had a lovely Oscar Myer box of bacon for him to sign and fan mail to give him from Albert. So, I went back to the car so I didn't have to have the stuff with me all night (and also to put my water bottle in the car since they weren't letting ANYTHING in). It was raining and they weren't letting people bring umbrellas into the theatre, so that was weird, but they did have umbrella racks and Hershey is full of trustworthy people, apparently. :-P<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/richbrooks">Rich Brooks</a> (myspace link) opened for Jim (I think this is the guy. I missed his name but only caught his last name, so this is what my google search found). Rich was very funny and I enjoyed his comedy. The same type of clean-ish humor that Gaffigan does, and it seemed to flow well from Brooks to Gaffigan.<br /><br />Jim was AWESOME. He did some stuff about Hershey at the beginning and then launched into his regular routines. He did some stuff I never heard before and some of the classic stuff (ie, HOT POCKETS!) so it was a great mix. <br /><br />The show started at 8 and was over around 9:30 and I didn't even get out of the parking lot until 10pm because of where my space was and the fact that I had to back out. I just sat in the car and waited for the lot to clear. :-P Got home around 10:10pm. All in all, a great night. :-) I did hear via facebook that one of my classmates from high school was there and they saw Jim leave the theatre and get directly into a cab and speed away. :-(<br /><br />I did take notes in sort of a "set list" way, but it was hard to capture every topic.
