We're with Coco...and on TV!
Well, we were briefly shown tonight on the Tonight Show anyway. Conan showed a bit of the rally that was held today in front of his studios on his show tonight but the rest of what happened is below...
My car is in the shop to get the passenger side lock fixed that was broken when my stuff was stolen so I got a rental car for a couple days - a SmartCar, which was quite the adventure for a drive up to LA in the pouring rain. And believe me, Northwesterners, it was pouring. I'd say we went through about 2 feet of water at one point. Pretty crazy.
Parked the SmartCar (quite easily) and grabbed the dollar store ponchos and umbrellas and ready to join the crowd.
Ready with the signs to signal to passing cars!
Michelle proposing to Conan's ...um... bear
One of the many signs made to support The Man
Conan came out to the street about a half hour after we got there and (see video below) he ran down the street with the mob following him to Gate 2 where you enter for his studio and then he went to the roof of his building (the building NBC built just for his show...ehem...) and waved to us before they handed out pizza for everyone and some of the other show members waved and expressed their thanks as well.
Max Weinberg - drummer for the Tonight Show band
La Bamba - the butt of many of Conan's jokes
and Conan's sidekick, Andy, with the bullhorn
It was a really fun time and I am really glad that we took the time to go up to LA and support the show even though it was raining. Oh and the rain totally stopped when Conan came out to the street! At one point the whole crowd was chanting, "Conan stopped the rain! Conan stopped the rain!" It was pretty hilarious.
Here's a sample of what it was like...
"Where are we going?" That is a good question. Looked like a Bumbershoot in Seattle. Rain, umbrellas. Looks like a fun day in LA in the rain. Glad you got your pics for the day. Good luck with your cause.
Go Jack!
