   	I noticed writing up Wednesday's show that Conan seemed to be on   
   the ragged starting edge of a cold.  I haven't seen Thursday's yet, but   
   could accept his being worse off.

   	I haven't been to the show since the current, new set got in   
   place (probably I should get around to it soon), but I think fifteen   
   minutes is about normal for the warm-up routine.  After all this time   
   (and considering the warm-up is *very* routine, since almost none of   
   the audience will ever see it a second time) they probably can do it   
   in their sleep.

   	Wow.  Well, then, yes, good that you were able to see Conan on   
   Late Night in person.   
      
   	What were the lines like, for ticket pick-up and then for   
   getting into the studio?  About when did you start sitting in the   
   NBC Lobby without looking too much like you were sitting so the   
   pages didn't have to pretend to hassle you?
