wickedfleaSo I went ahead and went to the Carson Daly thing, and I'm glad I did. It was pretty fun. I took off from work about 12:30, came home and knocked around for a while, and then drove into the city. I could have taken the train, but I prefer driving for some reason. I was afraid that traffic might be bad, but it really wasn't.
Anyway, I got to the city around 4:30 and parked in a garage so I wouldn't have to get into midtown. I nosed around in a bookstore for a few minutes, bought a book, and got moving. I would have liked to go to Zabar's, but Carson's silly ass probably wouldn't have let me bring my smoked mozzarella and shit up in his crib.
Took the subway over to Rockefeller Center, grabbed a couple of slices at Famiglia, and headed up for the taping. It was very streamlined -- they had people leading us through elevators and hallways and whatnot. It was just this little set and an audience of maybe a hundred people. I'm proud to say that the Mule fans were representin'! *pounds chest* We outnumbered the Buffy fans by 2 to 1. It was kind of cool to get to see Alyson Hannigan -- she was lookin' pretty cute. I had to watch her on the monitor most of the time, though, because the seats weren't on risers and some dude had his big asshead in the way.
The Mule played "Beautifully Broken" with Danny Louis on keys and Stefan Lessard on bass. I hate the Dave Matthews Band, but that Lessard guy is a pretty good bass player. I thought the song was a good choice for TV -- it's sort of a ballad and pretty catchy. It's not the totally balls-out stuff that really typifies the Mule, but it is a good song.
So yeah, I'm really glad I did that. It was a nice little treat for my birthday. And it gets me really amped for the Mule show at the Beacon next week!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, folks! Special kudos to the überfabulous![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
