Saturday Night Let's Party

On 4/8/12 to 4/9/12 Saturday Night Live was on tv.  Well instead of staying home and watching it on the tv I decided I would go to an after party and check out the people who would be there. I went with my sister Brooke so I wouldn't be alone in the city this "late" and "early" in the city.  I found out where the after party would be from some very nice people.  I forgot the name of the place it was being held but we had to go uptown for it.

It was about 1:30am or so until the stars started arriving. I couldn't get any good pictures because they were either being rushed in or to many people were crowding them.  I didn't think it was a big deal because I planned on staying until the party was over.

Me and Bobby Moynihan
People kept coming in and out of the party at different times.  Some people came out for smoking breaks and this gave the perfect opportunity to ask some of the actors for pictures.  I saw Bobby Moynihan and I waited until he was done talking with a friend.  I got to ask him for a picture and he was a down to earth guy.  He was kind and respectful to everyone who was waiting.

Me and Taran Killam
The next person that I got to meet was Taran Killam.  He was very cool and took pictures with anyone who asked.  The picture is a little blurry, but I must say this was the only picture Brooke took that was blurry.

The next person I got to meet was Fred Armisen.  He was incredibly sweet.  I told him that his new show Portlandia was very funny.  Which it is so everybody check it out.

Fred Armisen and Me
He was the last celeb that I got to meet and take pictures with.  There were a lot more people but not everyone stopped.

Live From New York its Rachel Dratch

On 4/412 Rachel Dratch had a book signing for her new book  "A Girl Walks Into A Bar".  I had work that day so right after work I took a cab and headed straight for the book signing.  I even managed to get into the front row thanks to a friend.  I really didn't have to wait long.  I waited for about 40 minutes.  I was talking with a friend so the time passed by fast.

Finally it was 7pm and Rachel Dratch arrived.  She first had to take pictures for the press. No one realized she had even arrived so of course I yelled out "you go girl".  The applause came right after that.  She read for a few minutes from her book.  Then she decided to take questions from the audience.  The first person who asked a questioned actually didn't ask a question.  Instead he was giving a list of movies some actress had done that was not about Rachel Dratch.  It was very random.  Then when they asked for another question I looked around the room and I saw that no one was raising their hand, so I thought it was time to have a little fun.  I raised my hand and I got to ask the question.  I asked "What's it like to be funny"?  The audience started to laugh and it was pretty funny.  Rachel Dratch had no idea how to respond to that.  But she did say she didn't really know but she hangs out with other funny people.

There were some more questions and then the book signing happened.  I was second in the line which was pretty cool.  When I met her I asked if she knew someone that I knew.  She did and she seemed very kind.  I even got to take a picture with her.  She was really nice and I can't wait to read her book.
