My goal is to do this on Friday. I was going to do it this morning, but there were severe thunderstorms when I went to bed last night, so I decided to wait until a better day. I’m really excited! I also changed the point of destination (same city, different location) since during the summer my brother isn’t at university.

How I did it: I will first preface this by saying I am a HUGE Conan O'Brien fan and have been since about the 3rd season of his show sometime when I was in middle school. So this was a HUGE deal to me and I had wanted to do this for a VERY long time.We drove up to NYC late Thursday night/early Friday morning and then took the subway into Manhattan at about 5:40am. We got in the line for standby tickets (#4, 5, and 6 in line) around 6:10am a… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pack of 110 lb. card stock (150 sheets) for about US$5.I then went to Staples and bought an X-Acto knife for about US$6 (Wal-Mart carries them, but were sold out).I went to Cubeecraft and printed out some of their design sheets.Using scissors and the X-Acto knife, I carefully cut out the designs, and using trial and error figured out better ways to approach the process and improve from my previous attempt.

How I did it: My best friend and I bought plane tickets (I got mine through the JTB website) and made hotel and ryokan reservations online. We bought a JR Rail Pass (unlimited train for a wk) so we could explore central Japan, which I highly recommend. We spent two weeks in Japan and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had.

This is one of the ones I want to do the most, but it’s too cold right now. As soon as it warms up, maybe mid-March/early April, I’m going to do this. I plan on biking from where I live to the UNCG campus, which is about a 45 minute drive by car, give or take, via highways and dependent on traffic, lights, etc. Google Maps says its 42.9 miles away from my house.
We found out on Friday that February 20th is the final taping of Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
We are driving up there for this Friday’s show to try and get in with standby tickets. We also found out the first guest that night is Russell Crowe!! Say a prayer for us that we get in! =D
