October 2nd, 2013: The Taping ReporT!

Hubster Anna-Neko has sent us this wonderful “Taping ReporT” of her trip to the October 2nd taping of “The Colbert Report”.

This was my second time going (went with a friend last year), and just the day before got to experience ‘The Daily Show’ too!

Got there stupid-early (around 3pm) and there were already a few people making a line. Joined them and sat on sidewalk for a while. So glad weather was warm. Really windy but warm. Bit past 4pm the staff with the tablets (no more clipboards!) came out to start getting us checked-in. Line moved from sidewalk to the awning alley space.

These guys still extremely serious business – check both ID and confirmation email. Everyone before me had paper print-outs, I realized left mine on my desk … after 5 seconds of panic remembered duh! phones have internet, and showed my confirm on phone screen.
