Rally for the White Man

So... today my friend Megan and I traveled to Universal Studios by way of the Metro link to be part of the 'I'm with Coco' Rally. We had never taken the Metro in LA, but we figured it out. We took the Amtrak to Union Station then the Metro into Universal. The Metro was way simpler than the Amtrak, mostly because they have actual people you can talk to instead of just hoping you bought the right ticket!

We got to the rally a little before noon, which is when it started. The rain was coming down pretty good but we were relatively dry.

We had made our shirts TWO nights before but they didn't dry until late last night. As soon as the glittery orange paint got hit with rain, it began to melt. We were COVERED in glitter by the end of the rally. It was like a pixie farted on us.

We were interviewed by various radio shows. Three total I believe and if I can find any of them I will post the links here. The rain really came down and I didn't think our little Target umbrellas were going to make it. There was a very smart guy who had a basket full of umbrellas that he was selling for $5 a pop. They were like big golf umbrellas, nice and sturdy looking.

We had these umbrellas for, oh, about 3 minutes and then THIS:

Umbrella Fail

But thankfully Conan's staff came out and passed out hats. They were $22, we got them for free and they are soon to be collectibles.

It was really pouring. The wind was making the water, basically surround us and more people started showing up. All the trash cans were FULL of broken umbrellas. My pants were SOAKED. If they had set up a Slip and Slide, I wouldn't have gotten any more wet because it was like I took a shower with my clothes on.

La Bamba came out in a Pope mobile type carriage. Everyone went nuts!! (This was on the show later in the evening.)

Then, after a while something happened...

CONAN came running through in a flame of ginger glory.

His head is above the blue umbrella.

We all started running and screaming but it was oddly organized.

We all ran down to Gate 2, where Conan has his show and waited for anything to happen. What I found humorous was that right next to Gate 2 was Human Resources. HA, wonderful.

After a while Andy Richter came out to talk to us and the heavens parted for one of God's favorite cherubs.

After Andy came out, Conan waved, did the string dance and looked very Evita-esque.

After more waving, cheering and chanting Conan's staff brought us all about 60 boxes of pizza, which was really yummy since we were so cold and wet.

(They were even nice and got different flavors of pizza. Yea for the vegetarians...which does not include me but it was a nice gesture.)

On the way back to the metro we saw a skit being done for the Funny or Die website with Asian Conan and Asian Jay. I thought they were funny without doing anything!

The metro was SUPER warm and dry. We were both excited to be heading home.

Last stretch before we got back.

Cold and Wet.

Cold, Wet and Tired.

We got back, got some Mexican food, changed into some sweats, ate, napped and then watched some Cone Zone. Over all a very funny and VERY exhausting day. Totally worth it.

This was what was on The Tonight Show this evening. They did NOT put up the part about Conan running with us or the pizzas.

No Respect *Tie Yank*

So... I've been following the whole Tonight Show mess and it's the largest, stinkiest, steamiest peacock turd I've ever seen. For the past few years NBC has not been known for good programing, their only award winning show is 30 Rock, and they still don't treat that show with the respect it deserves. Watching SNL is like going to your little brother's soccer game, you know they aren't great but you watch for moral support and hope they'll get better. ("Come on buddy, I know you can do it!") And even though I'm a huge Law and Order fan, they do not need a another spin off...that's what's supposed to replace The Jay Leno Show.

Back to the mess, Jay Leno is now ticked at NBC because they are making him look like the bad guy by moving him back to 11:35. (I know Jay thinks he's a nice guy but nice guys are normally passive aggressive butt holes.) Well, Jay, if you didn't want to move to 11:35 you could just, uh, retire, for reals this time. And you should be used to being the "bad guy", remember when you screwed Letterman over and Carson wouldn't even let you be on his last show? Each time you are the "bad guy" it's because you are actually a low life,scheming, poor excuse of a man. Grow a pair and pipe up and say you want Conan to have his fair shot because God knows he hasn't gotten even that. NBC marketed your show like it was the second coming of Christ and it still failed!

Conan's shows since this all burst out onto the news circuits have been hilarious, his letter to the "People of Earth"was funny and supremely classy. All the polls have said 60-84% want Conan to stay at 11:35 and don't want to see Leno. NBC is trying to cater to the 45+ age group that in 10 years will not be staying up until 11:35 to even watch Leno. Also, my demographic has created a HUGE facebook group (I'm for Coco) that in 2 days has 75,000+ fans, Leno fans number in a whopping 135. They really needed to let Conan settle in. If they think that after all this stink that Leno will come back to the Tonight Show and it'll be numero uno, they are a bunch of stupid turds. His whole reputation is beyond reparable. He's the Tiger Woods of late night, done with herpes on top.

NBC really needs to listen to the public on this one, since we are the ones that are/will be watching. If not, then they should go talk to Jack Donaghy because I'm sure that fictional character will give them better business advice than their real life advisers are. Give the Cone Zone some respect!!

To show you how funny Conan is here's a tasty-taste. (Sorry it's a little grainy)
