Consider my ticket bought. I've been watching Rob Schneider since I was about 5 and still laugh out loud. This will be a dream come true.
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a begger, but considering the gravity of the situation, I thought it was worth a shot. As I stated in my previous comment, I have been watching Rob Schneider since I was 5. I remember my father and brother doing a "Richmeister" impression and had to check it out. I became a *huge* SNL fan--most likely the biggest you will meet. I'm full of SNL trivia. Anyway--to my point, it would honestly be a dream to be able to talk to an alum from the greatest era in SNL history. I am not some teenybopper that just wants an autograph. I have *real* questions that I would like to ask Rob regarding one of the greatest--if not the greatest few years in television history. So,if you sell Meet and Greets, I would be more than willing to buy a pair. If they are give-away only, I want you to know that I do not believe it would mean as much to anyone else. This may be a wash, but I would not be very happy with myself if I let the weekend go by without trying. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDude with long winded comment... if you beg for tickets so eloquently, you should leave an email. :)
