About fifteen and a half years ago, I went to NYC with my family. We went mainly for the US Open, but we also saw a show and toured the city in about 5 hours Cathy Jensen style (trust me, it's intense). It also happened to be the week that David Letterman made the move to CBS. I really wanted to go, but I don't think I ever mentioned it to my parents and getting tickets would have been impossible. When Brandon and I decided that I would be going to NY with him, we submitted online to get tickets to David Letterman. Tonight Brandon's cell phone rang while next to me with a strange number. Always one to want to pry into my husband's secret life, I answered it.
me "Hello"
Strange man "Hello, Julianne?"
(It's for me?)
m "yes"
SM "This is John with the Late Show with David Letterman"
The strange man asked when we were going to be in NY and if we could come to a taping the Monday we are there. After I assured him that we are available and MUCH older than 18, the conversation became a little uncomfortable.
SM " do you watch the show regularly?"
m "Um... it's been a little while."
(We have four kids and a DVR. It's the only way we get to watch the shows we want to. So, no I haven't watched DL for quite some time. At that time were watching something we have recorded or TLC or Discovery Channel or maybe even Ghost Hunters. Sorry TMI.)
SM "Well you do need to answer a trivia question in order to win the tickets. No help and you can't look it up."
(crap)
Well, the trivia question was "What is the name of the place that Rupert G works at?"
I was so proud that I knew the right answer with out any hesitation.
WE'RE GOING TO THE LATE SHOW!!!
OK, I didn't tell him that we are rather disappointed that Conan is no longer in NY.(We are pretty big Conan fans) And we were kind of excited about maybe seeing Jimmy Fallon, but we would have been sad we weren't there for free Snuggie night.
But, now we have our first actual plans for NY! Can anyone think of any stupid human tricks we have? WAIT, don't answer that!

Lucky!! I love David Letterman. And what is this about free snuggie night??
WOW...that is soooooo awesome! Good for you and I can't wait to hear about your trip.
I totally think Brandon should wear his Ghostbusters costume! With that movie making a comeback, you guys would for sure get on TV! Have fun in NY!
Ooooo... I second the Ghostbusters costume idea. I hope you have a GREAT time!!!
Brandon HAS to make t-shirts for you guys to wear with PFUNDER Top Ten things to do in NY...or something like that! With the two of you and your creativity combined I bet you could come up with some REALLY FUNNY things for a top ten list!!!
Wow Juli, that is SO cool!! Let us know what day the show will be on so we can all watch for you.
Fun! You should get a snuggie and just wear it when you go. I heard it's cold in his studio.
