Jimmy Fallon

On Wednesday night I went to Jimmy Fallon with Angie. We'd had this planned for a few weeks, and our husbands were supposed to come with us, but that didn't happen. They were busy with work and bailed on us at the last second, so Angie and I just went on our own.

When I arrived at the Rockefeller Center, this is what I beheld:

I remained calm, but in my head I was jumping for joy! The Rockefeller tree! It doesn't get lit up until the end of November, but there it is in all its scaffolding glory!


With the mixture of the ice skaters and the tree, I was feeling very festive!


Yes, there are men in the tree. See how tiny they look? They are like little elves! The men were putting lights in the tree and trimming it just right.

After Angie and I had taken a sufficient amount of pictures outside, we went into the Rockefeller building for Jimmy Fallon.


This show was the most fun I have had at a live taping. While we were in line, members of Jimmy Fallon's staff went around asking if there were any die-hard Harry Potter fans. Despite being a bit wary of what we would be asked to do, Angie and I admitted our fanhood and were ushered over to a corner with about 10 other people. There we were interviewed separately and asked Harry Potter questions. (Angie and I got our questions right, of course!) I was asked the following:
  1. Who is Crookshanks?
  2. What are Nearly Headless Nick and Moaning Myrtle?
  3. If you do the spell incendio, what are you making?
However, we were not picked for the show. Once we saw who they chose, we realized what they were really looking for . . .


. . . nerdy HP fans. How rude!

However, our seats were on the front row! We had a great view of the entire show. I watched the show that night, and the audience wasn't shown even once. There was a shot for a split second in which you can kind of see the back of our heads:


Proof! We were there!

It really was such a fun time. Our husbands really missed out : )

I totally would have admitted my HP fanhood! And yes, as I read those questions I also answered them without hesitation in my head.

You totally should have been on the show. And you and Angie look like sisters in that picture!

Lesson learned: Next time you go to a show, bring an ugly scarf and/or pair of glasses and/or retainer just in case.

It was soooo fun. Now I am even more excited for Rachael and Martha. I like the pictures you got of the tree... None of mine had the men in the branches! Oh and I just noticed you and I both had our hair pulled back with a side braid. Matchy matchy!
