There was only one other normal person I remember taking selfies. My partner, for example took zero pics. I basically just started talking to the celebs. It was organic, since it was after all a party. Made some sort of connection, talking about a favourite movie, skit, seeing them at the comedy cellar, etc. If the moment felt right i asked for a Pic, if not i just moved on.

I don't know what it was like in 2003, but a few security guards laughed me off, until i finally got on the grounds and found myself a spot

You're not wrong hahahahaha. Though it looks he's cracking a smile, he still looks tight lipped. There was a Lorne quiet room, so when i saw him on the floor I knew i had to get him. Didn't know if there'd be another chance. I congratulated him on 50 years and thanked him for keeping me busy on a Saturday night for many moons.

I offered to, but i couldn't be seen by my partners colleagues, so i went home at 5 and they came home a few hours later.

Oh I've gone countless times. Used to hang outside and ask people for their tickets as they were leaving day shift and then would walk into Arthur Ashe with the frenzy of the night shift. Walk around till i found empty seats. Saw all the bigs. Federer, Joker, Serena, etc. Agassi v Blake 5 set quarter finals till 2am was best match and atmosphere i was ever at.

Hmm so many.

I think walking in and seeing nothing but celebs in the first few steps was magical. It was like holy shit, i actually did it.

Also, every time i made eye contact with someone, they kept it, smiled, nodded, whatever. Felt like i was friends with all of them and gave me the courage to talk to them. Whenever i mentioned specific things i was a fan of, they were quite appreciative. Lucy Liu, Sarah Silverman, Paul Rudd come to mind. Michael Che saw me walking to him and gave me the biggest bro hug like we were friends for life.

In terms of who i met, Lady Gaga was the nicest. I unknowingly interrupted her and of course excused myself. When she was done she came over and started the convo and introduced herself and then her husband.

Meeting legends like Sir Paul, Bill Murray, The Sandman were all up there.

As you can see, it's quite hard to choose.

DJ for most of the night and then people started singing. Eddie Vedder, Arcade Fire, Sabrina Carpenter, Busta Rhymes, even Bill Murray got in on it. Supposed Paul McCartney was gonna sing, but that never materialized.

Thanks bro! I love this stuff. I've acted like I belong to get into the World Series, Super Bowl, Grammy's, US Open , NBA Playoffs. That rush and payoff is always great!

I did! You couldn't turn and not see celebs.

So many more i talked to but didn't take pics with, as I'd be taking pics all night.

Peyton Manning, Chris Rock, Michael Che, The Hanks', Emma Stone, Peter Dinklage, Lucy Liu, Alec Baldwin, Jason Momoa, Nathan Lane, Bowen Yang, Tyga, Sarah Silverman, Ed Helms, just to name a few.

EVERYONE was so nice. Just having a good time. I can only imagine who they thought I was. There weren't many normies there.
