|    San Francisco - 3 May 2007 - Randy Jacks    |

      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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
