WAIT WAIT DON'T TELL ME

J in front of the Baton Rouge River Center

J and I had the most fun night!  We had tickets to the Baton Rouge taping of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.  Thank you Mom and Dad for the great present!  I love the show!  Love Peter Sagal!  Love Carl Kasell!  James Carville was the guest and Tom Bodett, Kyrie O'Connor, and Brian Babylon were the panelists.  I was hoping for Mo Rocca and J was hoping for Paula Poundstone but we don't always get what we want now do we.  The taping started at 7:30pm and finished shortly before 10:00pm.  2 1/2 hours of laughter!  Peter was nice enough to stay afterwards and answer any questions the audience may have.  Someone in the audience brilliantly asked, "what's your favorite color?"  Red was the answer in case you're curious.  When asked about where he dined in BR, Peter commented that Poor Boy Lloyd's deer sausage po'boy was a must.  J and I have never been to Lloyd's before so we'll have to try it next time we're up there.  Really and truly an awesome night!

We had dinner and drinks beforehand at Lucy's... The Lucy's in New Orleans is where J and I had our rehearsal dinner.  Neither of us had been to the Baton Rouge location before.

Look who we ran into outside the theater?!  Some LSU cheerleaders!  They were there to cheer Peter Sagal on before the taping.  Nice as could be.  They, along with the rest of the squad, looked SO young.  Like, not even old enough to be in college.  Did I really graduate that long ago?!

Mike the Tiger booty anyone?

I apologize for the horrible quality of this photo.  That's a blurry me and J if you can't tell.  I've asked Santa for a Canon EOS Rebel T3i for Christmas.  Let's hope he comes through....
