While that is a lovely story and I'm wicked stoked for you and everything, I'm sorry, I gotta ask the TV tech geek question that's been bugging me.
That "Vancouver" interior cabin-like set is mostly made up of a green screen, right? Dude, it's bugging me.
All right, that's out of the way. I have to admit I'm mostly just jealous that you were in the studio for that long and you got to see Stephen doing that thing he does when there are long delays and people to entertain, BECAUSE THAT THING IS AWESOME, REALLY. And once again, you make ballsy and ridiculous requests that astound me. I SAY THAT WITH LOVE.
I'm glad you had such a fabulous time :D
ETA: Because you're the only person I know who has been there since the new set came in: has the audience capacity been dramatically increased with the new set, or does it just look that way because the bleachers go higher?
I'LL STOP WITH THE NERDY SHIT AND SQUEE, I'M SORRY.
Yes indeedy, everything to the right of the Defeat the World poster is green screen. All the stuff where he's outside talking to people is pre-taped. I'm kinda glad this ended up being "Vancouver" week so I didn't have to see the ugly new set. X3
See, the thing that I think gives me the balls to ask such blatantly fucking ridiculous things is that for some reason I never expect him to say yes. Apparently I don't learn. XD *facepalm*
Oh, and the audience capacity is definitely larger, though I never ended up asking the audience coordinator just how many seats there are now. The center aisle is gone, it's just one big set of risers now, and Stephen came in from the far right. There's a little space between the cabin set and the green screen, and he ducked back there in between some of the takes to grab a drink or whatever he does back there.
I like the techy questions. ^^ That stuff interests me too so I usually pay attention to it in the odd seconds I'm not staring at Stephen. XD
I told my best friend alllll about it and we were both all 'oh shit I would NEVER dare ask stuff like that' and then we agreed that you absolutely deserve all the crazy stuff you get to do because you have the BALLS to ask. Fucking GO YOU :D
I'm serious, I only have the balls to ask because I still expect to be told no! I would not have been able to go down there if Holly hadn't literally pushed me. XD Sitting on a riser and having Stephen down on the floor beckoning you... Yeah, paralyzed. O_o She's really the unsung hero of this, just like anais_rhys is the unsung hero of my last crazy Stephen story.
I should really bake them cookies or something, come to think of it. o_O ♥
You know, my old roommate Tommie once said I looked like I walked like I had a giant pair of balls. XD I was seriously pissed at the time, but now I think he may have been on to something. XDDD
Like I told Liz, it really is because I don't ever expect to be told "Yes". XD That, and I think in this case my sheer obsessive overwhelming love overrides my natural terror of being turned down. That, and someone has been boosting my self-confidence lately. ♥
*lol* That's just funny, cause Holly was saying, "You keep one-upping yourself!" so now of course I have to think of more outrageous things that I think I might be able to get away with. ;3 Although next taping I think I just wanna thank him for always indulging my ridiculous requests, in the hopes that he'll inquire further and I can put together that yeah, I was that girl both of those times, so maybe he'll start remembering me. Oh MFG, if he actually, like, knew who I was kind of and remembered me. I might really die. *O_o*
*hugs again!* Seriously, I'm so happy for you <33. Oh my word, I don't think I could do that, and not just because I only know the lyrics to "God Save The Queen."
