   	I got in!  I got in!  I was assigned ``number fourteen' in the   
   seats, although that got me placed in the fourth row over behind the   
   band area, so that I'm not sure I was actually visible at any point   
   except possibly during the pan for closing credits.   
      
   	Look for the big, doughy guy with sideburns and hair that looks   
   like it might have exploded, and wearing a light yellow dress shirt and   
   tan slacks that I wasn't able to fit into comfortably four months ago   
   so I'm feeling mighty smug about that.   
      
   	Also they completely redid the ticketing system so that while I   
   did need to spend about 20 minutes in line getting the wrist-band that   
   marked me as Definitely Attending, and there was also some need to line   
   up in that 4:15-to-4:30 gap before taping, there wasn't the need to get   
   down on the entrance floor, standing up whenever the pages saw you, and   
   not keeping at least one member of the party present at all times.  In   
   comparison tothe old-fashioned days this was really quite civilized.   
      
   	Also, Andy Richter does show up.  As does Will Ferrel.  And via   
   tape Abe Vigoda, who's only got hours now to outlive the show.  The   
   proscenium gets torn down and while Conan promises that everyone will   
   get a piece, they actually don't.
