I should prelude this by saying how much it sucks that all those people with tickets didn't get in. A line of over 200, and only 20 get in... not good. I could go on about how badly I think the audience department screwed this up, but it was said much better by my friend Sharilyn over hereI feel really bad that so many people I know, even only ( Read more... )

What else happened during the taping? What did Jon and Stephen do when they walked onto the stage? Do youremember the stuff that took place during the breaks? And what happened at the end of the show after all was said and done and Obama won? That had to have been nothing like you seen before.

Kudos and congrats to you for getting in. You are indeed the luckiest person alive.

Thanks for the write-up! The Tim Robbins parts were the extra-hilarious bits for me.

:D That is such a great story! I'm so glad you made it in. It really does suck about everyone else, but wowww. That is awesome.

Very cool story. What I wanted to say was I know ALL ABOUT that line drama. I've also been through that for a VIP movie screening. They gave out over 200 'tickets', but let in maybe ... 50? And I was like the 3rd from the end of the last group let in. It was insane. And I felt bad for the other 150+ standing out there.

I basically cranked-up the English
Ha ha ha ha! We are powerless in the face of a British accent!

Not getting in, getting in, being turned out of the studio, then finally getting in a seat... I was a mess. I was shaking from head-to-toe for a good long time, about 5 minutes into the actual show I was still like that.
Man, what an ordeal! I would be a mess too.

"I don't know if you're interested, but Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are sat just there." Sure enough, I'd legged it past Tim Robbins to get my seat and I didn't even notice... Also in that block - Sigourney Weaver...
Whoa!

At that point, Tim Robbins turns to me and said "It's done... He's got Virginia, it's done, it's over..." How insane is that!!!
That is...totally insane!

Sharilyn is outside - she hadn't been able to get hold of her guy, and watched the show in the bar across the street.
Aw, that's sad.

Thanks for your account!
