Wet for Conan
from The Inside Scoop from Backstage
(Yes, another Conan blog posting. Sorry if this blog’s been a bit single-minded the past week. For those who are not Conan fans, please bear with me – there’s just another week of this!)
Didn’t get to see La Bamba in a Popemobile today? Me neither.
At least folks like us can live vicariously through Tonight Show blogger Aaron Bleyaert, who just posted a great depiction of today’s rally outside the Universal lot where the Tonight Show is recorded.
Die hard fans who braved the torrential downpours were rewarded with appearances by band member La Bamba (in aforementioned “Popemobile”), announcer Andy Richter and Conan himself, plus free pizza, Conan/Leno look-alike showdowns and “I’m Wet for Conan” buttons.

My favorite part:
(warning: Truman Show spoiler ahead!)
Conan O’Brien himself jumped out of a white van, and started jogging up the street towards Gate 2 and our building!! It was like The Beatles dropped out of the sky holding the Jonas Brothers on their shoulders – everyone went CRAZY and ran with Coco up the street and into Gate 2!!! Then, the weirdest thing happened: Just as Conan started running up the street, THE RAIN STOPPED. It was magical. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life; the cops blocked off lanes of traffic as everyone cheered and screamed and jumped up and down and blue sky actually peeked through the thick dark clouds and I almost expected the booming voice of Ed Harris to come rolling out of the clouds like in that part at the end of The Truman Show. . .
My favorite chant of the whole day was then: “Conan stopped the rain! Conan stopped the rain!”
Were you there? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience in the comments!
If not, feel free to leave a comment anyhow, sharing what you imagine it was like.

Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: I only have eyes for Moo!
I’ve previously shared my crush on a blog. Now it’s my turn to share my crush on a company: MOO.
When I first cast my eyes on MOO’s cutesy little StickerBooks – little booklets of vinyl stickers made from your own pictures – I went weak in the knees. [click the star graphic to read more]
