   Joseph Nebus to All   
   San Francisco - 3 May 2007 - Randy Jacks   
   04 May 07 01:57:15   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   	This may be the largest number of announced guests the show has   
   ever had (discounting things where a whole band will be bundled under a   
   single name, I mean).   
      
   Home of the Oakland Bay Bridge And That Other One   
   More signs -- Cone-Zone, Bring Back S-Hoe-(Something).   
   String Dance!   
      
   Conologue:   
   	- The Orpheum theater is in the historic Tenderloin district,   
   perfect if you want to see an opera, visit a museum, or just defecate on   
   the sidewalk.  The San Francisco lifestyle is rubbing off on him; today   
   he realized he was wearing a suit and tie, so he gave himself the   
   finger.  Everyone's been so nice; earlier today Mayor Gavin Newsome   
   invited Conan for a sandwich, and after that they had lunch.  The   
   Republican debate -- shockingly the crowd boos -- was in California; ten   
   candidates took part, representing all races, creeds, and colors of rich   
   white men.  The Humane Society reports San Francisco is the best place   
   to own a pet.  People do love their pets here; there are some stores on   
   (Folk?) Street that sell nothing but leashes and collars.  Later is the   
   bay-to-breakers race, perfect for anyone who love to run but hates being   
   sober or dressed.  Medical marijuana (again!) ... he was watching the   
   audience tonight and there's apparently been a huge outbreak of   
   glaucoma.   
   	   
   	- San Francisco's famous for the '49ers, the miners; and the   
   '49ers, the football team.  They wanted to combine them: The '49er   
   69'er!  That may have been a mistake.   
   	   
   	- Intel and Sam Wo's Restaurant.  Max doubts Conan's sincerity   
   in liking the company.  Conan pauses mid-praise; he didn't think he'd   
   have to sell his soul.  Pathetic Hissy-Fit brought To You By Intel, in   
   the same joke done two nights ago.  Conan wants to see his freeze-frame   
   face again.  The poster's available in the lobby after the show.   
   	   
   	- May 2, 2007 was Conan O'Brien Day!  Conan thought it was an   
   honor until he learned February 5, 2006 was Phyllis Diller Day, October   
   10, 2005 was Pacific Gas and Electric Day, and February 23, 2007 was gay   
   porn producer Colt Studios day.  Yes, LaBamba, we'll get you the photo.   
      
   	   
   	+ They really forgot about dressing LaBamba as various San   
   Francisco musicians, didn't they?   
   	   
   	- Conan O'Brien Lookalike Contest was held; some highlights:   
   	   
   	- Many more people in the foam hairs.  Conan lookalikes rub   
   themselves and spin. The Masturbating Bear is there with the   
   Proclamation.   
   	   
   	- They took the winner, Jerry Rock, down to Fisherman's Wharf to   
   see how good he is.  Set up in a booth to Meet Conan O'Brien.  he   
   string-dances, gets photos taken, talks to John over the cell phone,   
   wears a marijuana-legalization hat.  Lets a guy make a fool of himself.   
   Conan questions Jerry's string dance skills.   
      
      
   	- Donald Jones, once a mild-mannered plastic bag manufacturer,   
   had his life destroyed by the San Francisco plastic bag ban.  Now he   
   seeks vengeance, and he's the Bay Area's most renowned eco-terrorist,   
   Plastic Bag Jones.   
      
      
   Randy Jackson:   
   	- People bark when they see him.  Conan finds it terrifying.   
   There's a picture of him in Journey, with hair like it was done in a   
   bakery.  Sometimes they're in an altered state in a band.   
   	   
   	- The Yo Factor: you have it or don't.  Are you hot?  Conan has   
   it!  Woo!  Conan thinks he has the vocal range for it.  He saw Conan   
   singing some Journey with Dana Carvey; why not show his range?  Conan   
   sings in his over-enunciated funny way.  Very entertaining.   
   	   
   	- Does he ever have second thoughts after judging someone on   
   American Idol?  Him, no, but Simon Cowell probably.  But you don't want   
   people to pursue careers that really won't go anywhere, news for Conan   
   only 15 years too late.   
      
      
      
   Travels with Conan: in Finland.   
   	- He realizes the little Finnish guy drumming looks like Charles   
   Bronson.  They drum, hoot, and howl.   
      
      
      
   Patton Oswald:   
   	- The audience yells out things he wears.  He used to rent a   
   moped, but then you needed a motorcycle license for it.  This created   
   egg-shaped scooters.  You could pick up a chick in the two-seater; in   
   fact, he can't.  ``I shall now turn the world pink!  Ding!''  He didn't   
   know the new hipster uniform was lame T-shirts.  He gives examples of   
   lame shirts and cool wearers.   
   	   
   	- His 'biggest fan', in Illinois, would love him to death; he'd   
   listen to parts and yell out punch lines early.  He was flattered, but   
   you can't yell out the punch lines.  The fan was drunk and refused to   
   believe he was hurting; the fan used his severed arm as grounds to mess   
   with his act.  He couldn't remember if he'd cut the guy's arm off.  If   
   he *did* cut the guy's arm off, then, what does this imply about the   
   revenge?   
      
      
   Disc Golf Champion David Feldberg:   
   	- Why not Frisbee Golf?  They changed the discs.  He describes   
   various terms, like the Scooby or the chicken wing.  They do some   
   throwing.  Conan overacts.  There's golf targets set up in the audience.   
    This delights the audience.   
      
      
   Bob Weir & Ratdog:   
   	- I couldn't get what the title was, but I'm not sure it   
   matters; the song came out about as you might expect for the performers,   
   and it's pretty much my kind of thing.
