It has been a little over a week since I moved to the city of angels and this weekend I finally took advantage of living in the hub of entertainment and performance art. I went to a live podcast reading.

I know, I know. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds but did I mentioned famous people were going to be there!!!!!!

Who? WHO?! WHOOOOO?!!?!?

You, the curious reader and also owl impersonator.

Oh, I don’t know maybe only the one and only German actor/comedian/musician; THE Pieter Kramer of Pitch Perfect 2 and Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin; THE Dickory of Trolls: World Tour; THE Javelin a.k.a. Gunter Braun from The Suicide Squad; THE special guest judge of Is It Cake? season 2 episode 7 titled “Cake Me Out to the Ball Game;” THE Mega Fat CEO Baby of The Boss Baby: Get That Baby!… That’s right, Flula Borg!!!!!

Not impressed yet? Well what about if I said there was another famous person there.

Yep! 2010 to 2016 SNL cast member AND married to Colbie Smulders AND Mr. Radison from Community AND Jimmy the Overly Touchy Orderly from Scrubs AND Abram Hamilton, one of the kidnappers who brings the main character into slavery in 12 Years A Slave… Taran Killam!!!!!!!!!!! 

Ok so maybe not like famous famous but to me, if you’re famous, you’re famous. You know what I mean?

I have no photographic evidence that proves I was in the same physical space as said famous people but trust me I was and it was amazing. Forget what all the haters have said, they’re not “just like everyone else.” Flula Borg is huge and Taran Killam probably doesn’t have a butthole and trust me when I say I totally made eye contact (and a tiny smile/nod) with Flula when I was standing in line for the bathroom and just happened to be right in front of the green room door of which he was exiting. We may not have said words but our body language said it all.

I know normies who live in LA are use to it and I know celebrities don’t like to be gawked at but I wasn’t gawking and I’m not used to it. I don’t know if I ever will be. And I want to be cool and casual when I pass Bob Odenkirk in the street and I probably will be (I mean like, I won’t flag him down for selfie [not that there’s anything wrong with that] because I’m too shy) but internally this is where I’m at:
