Saturday Night Live

I have been a fan of Saturday Night Live for as long as I can remember.  Waiting up on Saturday nights for the show when I was little was a highlight of my weekend.  I remember watching the Spartan Cheerleaders and Sally O'Malley.  Now that I am older, watching SNL on Saturday nights is again one of my favorite things to do.  Lately, SNL has been extremely funny and I would love more than anything to visit a live taping.  Just for fun, here are a few of my favorite sketches and digital shorts.

Next week Travis and I are going to NYC with some friends and we just realized that there will be a live taping while we will be there.  And to make matters even better, one of my favorite bands, King of Leon will be the musical guest.  I have never been to NYC during a taping and we are going to try our best to get tickets to the show. 

After a bit of research, we figured out exactly how to procure tickets to SNL.  For those who live in the New York area, you can enter a lottery pool in August and maybe get tickets.  For the rest of us, you can stand in line at 7am on the day of a taping and hope to get standby tickets. 

Now, I am not holding my breath for tickets, but we are going to try our darndest to get four standby tickets to either the dress rehearsal or the actual taping.  It would absolutely be the highlight of my trip next weekend.  Send good thoughts my way on Saturday morning, because we will be up at an ungodly hour hoping and praying that we somehow get tickets.  Happy travels!
