Live From New York!

The Latest: We're still waiting!

Mission SNL is well underway. After a slight change in plans - and some stress - we ended up getting to Rock Center around 7ish last night. Armed with our cold-night survival necessities, we settled in our chairs, wrapped ourselves in blankets and furry hoods and proceeded to analyze our odds for success - without getting our hopes up too much of course.

We estimated that we were about 60 people back in line. Not ideal, considering we'd heard through our extensive SNL standby ticket research that chances for getting in are best when you're among the first 40ish people.

Nevertheless, we were still optimistic and decided to take our chances and stick it out! Hannah joined me and Jamie around 9pm, and Bethany came around midnight. The hours passed surprisingly quickly as we giggled our way through eavesdropping on surrounding campers, silly stories and our lists of top ranking candies - by category naturally. (for those who care, my list = Candy Bar - Baby Ruth, Chocolate - Junior Mints / Peanut Butter M&Ms, Non-Chocolate - Twizzlers)

Oh, and we revolutionalized pizza delivery by having Papa Johns deliver pepperoni pizza + diet coke to us at 49th and Rockefeller Plaza. Brilliant.

Let the fun begin!

12:30am - All bundled-up and settled in for the night!

3:30am - This is when we start getting delirious. The temperature dropped to 36 degrees and wind chill brought it down to 31. Frozen. And sleepy. Luckily Jamie read Harry Potter aloud to us - with voices.

6:25am - The final stretch! Countdown to 7am ticket distribution!

We ended up #42-#45 in the standby list for Dress Rehearsal. We're pumped. And we'll be back in line at Rock Center at 7:15pm sharp!

By 8am, I was home and warm in my bed. Dreaming of seeing Taylor live in a few short hours.

Wish us luck!
