Well, another fabulous and fun-filled weekend has come to a close. Back to work. Back to actually having to sleep. Back to cups of coffee permanently attached to my hand. It's fine, I'll have next weekend to look forward to, and weekdays aren't as bad as people make them out to be anyway.
Friday night, I had an improv show with Dangerbox that went very well. We had a fairly large and very receptive audience, and the structures we finally decided on doing really worked. After the show, I hopped in a cab and headed up to the SNL line. It was so cold, and this was the second time doing standby that I actually felt like a crazy person (the first time was when Dad and I spent the whole night in pouring rain). I thought I would get a bad number because I had to show up later than usual, but since it was so freaking cold, I ended up getting number 4 for live! Natalie and I slept in between the collapsed tent, which was really weird but warm. I slept for a total of 6 hours, but I DID wake up with a lovely blanket of SNOW covering me...SO not okay. I decided that the only reason I slept for so long was because I slipped into a momentary hypothermic coma. Whatever, sleep is sleep.
Natalie and I met Dominique at our little Chinese restaurant, the Chelsea Cottage, on Saturday night and then went the Upright Citizens Brigade for the "Let's Have A Ball" show. Despite the fact that Kay was not there, it was a hilarious show (Brian Stack from Conan was there, and he is so intellectual and random, it's great). Natalie and I continued our night of comedy by taking the subway up to 30 Rock for SNL. I thought that since the host and musical guest weren't extremely well-known (Jeremy Piven/AFI), a lot of people would get into the show. Well, 55 got into to dress...but only SIX got into the live show!!! I'm so glad I got in, I would have been seriously angry if I had gotten snowed on for nothing. I also had the best seat I think I will ever have at SNL...dead center, second row of the balcony. It was a decent show...I got to talk to Kay and Jason and Lutz after the show, and Fred gave me a hug...it was a fun night.
Of course, Sunday....Asssscat. Hilarious show, it was even longer than usual, too. I took the subway home at 12:30 a very happy girl. And then, 9:30am class this morning...oh well, I was prepared, we discussed (to death) the first act of King Lear. I have my first Creative Writing class in a half hour, so I better get ready for that. I have to completely bundle myself up to endure the windy walk to the Silver building.
I'll update more. I've been very busy....but I'll update more.

Hi Em, It's cool that you got to see Brian Stack! He's one of my favorites from Conan. Maybe Linda and I will get out there this summer and spend some time in line with you waiting for Asscat. Larry B
