Clark Griswold in NYC

Two amazingly awesome things happened this evening:

1. The NY Giants beat the Packers to head to the Super Bowl! (And I've got to thank my local MTA booth employee for posting the tied score for us to see, prompting me rush home to see the final 2 minutes!)

2. I saw Chevy Chase simulate oral sex right before my eyes. Ok, not so awesome, actually extremely disturbing, but I was sitting two seats from him, he actually spoke to my friend Emily during a skit. Let me back up a little. I went with a group of twenty people to the Upright Citizens Brigade in Manhattan tonight. We paid just $9 for 90 minutes of improv comedy at Assscat. Amy Poehler from SNL sometimes hosts it (which she did tonight) and sometimes you never really know who is going to show up. Tonight, not only were Amy and Chevy there, but Seth Meyers was also performing (along with 7 other people from Colbert Report, SNL and various other comedians). I guess since the writer's strike is still continuing, these writers/comedians have nothing better to do right now. So the oral sex simulation was part of a skit - I don't even remember why he was doing it, but I think everyone in the room was a little uncomfortable seeing Clark Griswold sticking his tongue towards the invisible vagina. Seth Meyers (who's surprisingly attractive in person) even turned away during the skit. Chevy was pretty funny, seemed a little unprepared though. Amy Poehler had to keep prompting him when it was his turn to do the 5 minute improvised monologue to set up the skits to follow. My friend, Peggy, who actually sat next to him said he smelled like 'recycled clothes'.

I can't wait to go back and see who else shows up!
