A host of comedy meets in March

Towards the end of March I would try for some comedy meets for an event centered around Conan O'Brien . 

The day prior I would try the hotel to see who I would see at check ins. A hockey team was staying there so I would get a lot of hockey players I never heard of. I also got actor and comedian Ian Karme. Saw Robert Smigel and got an auto and sketch. Had no need for another photo op.

Left the spot to wait for Shaq. I already have him but could have gotten a photo op. Made the dumb move of abandoning ship to try and get singer and actress Sy Smith in between shows so I can be done with that. That was worthless and I missed Shaq. But I did get Sy Smith after her second show and she was nice as can be.

I arrive at a spot the day of the event and no one there saw activity. I sadly missed Andy Ricther at the hotel. 

I reluctantly left the spot to go somewhere else to try for 91-year-old anthropologist Jane Goodall. Took a big gamble going there to wait for her coming in because not 10 minutes later she came in and she stopped. With that victory I left. Leaving I heard she took care of like 10 people. So many young celebrities are nasty and look at her 91-year-old and doing multi combos. AND healthy enough to do it.

Stop by the hotel and immediately see Sarah Silverman walking. I get another photo op. Back to the original comedy spot and shockingly no one saw anything since I left. At the hotel I again missed Andy Ricther and also Bill Burr. So, I abandon ship here because it turned out they were sneaking people. I go to the hotel and get actor John Mulaney (update), Tim Convy of Conan O'Brien fame, and actor Bill Burr (fresh). 

Also got Adam Sachs, Brian McCann, Ted Sarandos, Mike Sweeney, David Hopping of Conan O'Brien fame.

Got actor Will Forte (update). Saw a girl that looked like she could be someone and asked for an op. Turns out she is podcaster Alexandra Cooper. At one point Adam Sandler came out and declined photo ops but signed one each. I got him on a DVD already signed by Drew Barrymore. Thankfully I don't need another op with him.

Back to the main spot for red carpet arrivals. Sadly, I missed Bill Burr doing no shades photo ops. PUNCH. I got Reggie Watts, Kumail Nanjiani (update), and an autograph from Conan O'Brien (had no need for another photo op).  

On exits there was no access, so I had to go back to the hotel. Most people were not stopping. BUT I finally did get actor Andy Richter (fresh), and I got E Street drummer Max Weinberg (fresh). The evening ended with Sona Movsesian of Conan O'Brien fame.
