Team CoCo!

We were among the lucky few to get to attend Conan O'Brien's first live comedy show of his new tour, "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour". Our good friend Kirsten watched the kid for the night and we met some of our other friends at Eugene City Brewery for some drinks before the show. Before we walked in, we had to pass a swarm of cameras and reporters trying to get interviews from ticket holders. Cam, never one to shy away from the limelight, was immediately intrigued and was interviewed by a reporter for The Early Show while the rest of us stood there and grinned like idiots.

After the interview, the reporter asked us to give them a good sign off. Cam is always quick to plug my floundering/stalled website: Caught In Mid Air, so he said, "Let's do a mid air jump! Caughtinmidair.com!" as we all piled on the stairs. At the count of 3, we all jumped into the air screaming Team CoCo! while passersby judged us. Now, I should have mentioned that I was wearing boots...boots with heels mind you, as I performed this jump. That has never stopped me before, and some might recall a rather famous jump I did at Sweet Cheeks Winery with 4 inch heels from a ledge onto concrete (perfection). This was not the case for this jump. As we came close to landing, I felt my feet pass the point of no return for a safe landing and I promptly fell right on my butt! I laughed pretty hard, as did everyone else, but I PRAYED that we wouldn't make it on the air. Not with that jump!

The show was awesome and filled with old skits, new faces and a huge inflatable bat. After it was over, we walked out the same way we came in and I was bombarded with reporters from Inside Edition asking me about the show. Embarrassed by my previous media interlude and still a little tipsy, I spoke my piece and continued on to our car. The next day I waited with butterflies in my stomach for both shows to air. NOTHING! I have never been so happy to watch Inside Edition or The Early Show...ok, I've never actually watched either, but you get my point!

All in all, Conan put on one hell of a show and I still sing the chorus of this song (censored of course)...F*** S*** Stack <---not for the verbally sensitive.
