Okcupid has a Quickmatch feature in which users can rate other members' profiles. If two members rate each other's profiles with four or five stars, Okcupid will send the members an automated message of the occurrence. Drew and I did just that and soon began exchanging emails. We later became friends on facebook and agreed to meet in person.The plan for the evening was to get drinks at Shady Grove but Drew's friend was performing at Improv Pittsburgh, so we decided to meet there instead. When I arrived at the comedy club I informed the attendant that I was meeting someone there and my ticket had already been purchased. He greeted me with a grin and asked if my name was Michelle then escorted me to the front of the theater.
Drew is shorter than I prefer but his boisterous personality compensates for his lack of height. He didn't have a chance to change after work, so he was still wearing a suit and I LOVE men in suits. We ordered drinks and food and briefly chatted about our jobs and our day at work.
The audience was very "intimate" and included many friends and family members of the performers. Early on I noticed the absence of racial diversity in the audience. One of the performers took it upon himself to bring it to attention and Drew thoroughly enjoyed it. Just call me Token.
Attending a comedy show isn't the best first date unless you enjoying whispering in between performances and frequently saying "huh?", so Drew and I went to Rock Bottom for a few more drinks. Most of the conversation consisted of Drew telling me how hot and intimidating I was but he made me laugh, so I didn't mind.
Will I go on another date with Drew you ask? Well I already have. Several actually. He even brought me flowers. This is what happens when you don't keep up with your blog.
