SNL

Since 9th grade, it has been a dream of mine to attend a live taping of Saturday Night Live.  To me, those were the golden years of SNL:  Wayne and Garth, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock.  In October, during my trip to NYC, Chris got Bowis, Nick, and me in to see a live taping.  The experience was very cool and it happened so fast.  During commercial breaks, you watch the shuffling around the compact set designs.  Bon Jovi was the host with Foo Fighters as musical guest.  Both bands ended up playing and it was like being at an exclusive rock concert.  I think the music was the best part of the show.  During the skits, I mostly watched the television monitors, so it was a little like being at home.  But the after party with the crew and talent was very surreal — all the actors were there, in this little bar, hanging out like normal people.  I even ran into Will Farrell.  I left the after after party at 5:00 am.  Thanks for the awesome night, Chris.
