NYC Get Together: See a Taping of The Daily Show!!! (updated)
 

I have the opportunity to get Daily Show tickets to be a studio audience member.

Please post here if you are in the NYC area and would like to try to see a taping.

Dates are still to be determined.

To give you some idea as to what it entails to see the taping, must be on the West side of NYC at 4:30pm and it's finished by about 7:30.

I'll be going with Xazy and Skogafoss this time around... but next time would you like to go?

I'd love to go next time - haven't seen you in a while! Hope things are well.

Maybe we should create a get-together anyway...

I would love to try to make it in .... can do the day drive no problem. Tecoyah would probably definitely be in as well if he can get the day off ..

Was a fun experience! Thanks for the ticket.

Wow... How cool would it be for lurkette and me to make our long-promised re-visit to NYC and do this with you guys?

Me Me! I'm going to film school in NYC so I'll be back after january 17th.

It would be great....

So we're looking at Feb? March?

I just looked: a direct flight from here to there in mid-March is under $200 right now...

How's March in the city? Is it Spring yet?

not quite, can still be quite cold. but its not that crowded :)

As it happens, I have March free! I'll be in classes on Tues/Thurs, but so what? NYC MeetUP, NYC MeetUP, wheee!

I'd love to do this as well! It will all depend on how my schedule pans out this semester, but I'm sure I'll have all that figured out in the next couple of weeks. I've been missing me some TFP meet-up action!

you just want a reason to eat loads of ice cream!!!!

It's true... but does that make it wrong?

Jon Stewart and ice cream... actually Cyn might be able to swing it so you could have Jon feed you the Ice Cream... nothing wrong with that.

I don't know how I missed this thread before, but yes, I'm in!

Can we get a ballpark date so that I can make a submission request? Of course that would also require me to get a headcount. I'll of course pad it with a handful more to make sure we've got enough.

When we were there it happened to be that I knew the Studio Manager so that's going to be helpful if we get more adds as it gets closer to the date.

It's easy for me because I'm here in the city. Unless I'm doing a show, most weekdays in February and March work for me, other than March 2 and March 9. I guess it's more about the people coming in from out-of-town...

i will probably be in nyc before this as well, but am definitely coming st patricks day weekend to see the series of anthony braxton shows at iridium. if the dailyshow adventure is still possible that weekend, i would be into it....

show tapings are monday through friday. we can try to request either a monday or a friday to accommodate those out of towners to make it a 3 day weekend.

when is St. Pats?

March 17, same time every year! this year, that's a Friday.

Do I look like a Ginger Kid??? :lol:

I don't know when Columbus day is, MLK, etc... Only reason why I know Labor Day is because HS started the day after it.

Oh no! If it's St. Patty's Day, then I'll have to miss it for the Lakers-Nets game in NJ. :(

Cyn - you can include me in the headcount if it ends up on just about any day BUT St. Patty's Day.

I'm starting to get my new job schedule created, and it looks like I will have Mon/Tuesdays off. I could do either of those days, mostly like anytime from mid February onward once I finish my training.

When you live 40 min away from anything interesting, you need a damn good reason to get out of the house.

This would be one.

I'm in.

lurkette has a business meeting in March that will get its date finalized in the next couple days. After that, we should be all set to plan like a long-weekend (or maybe short-week) trip to NYC.

Shit, man. If Hal's going, I HAVE to be there!

Hey, JustQuadros: can we crash at your place?

The crashing question goes for me to ... you made the offer when I was moving .. hope it's still good? :D

monkie- I could probably take you in if they run out of space. I have an extra futon or super comfy couch, both great for crashing on. :)

I'm in.
let me know the date and Ill be there.

always love seeing you all

oooh :D Thanks Supple!

As long as I'm not on a film shoot I should definately be able to make it. That does make Fridays difficult though.

Yes to monkies, lurking bastids, et al: yes, you can stay at our place if you like! We have a second bedroom, a semi-leaky air mattress (trying to replace it before this) and a couch, plus other floor space if necessary.
Whee! If you take SC's offer instead... I will only be a little insulted. :p

Oh, this sounds like fun!

Any updates?

I just moved to NYC a few weeks ago and am a big fan of the daily show if anything is possible.

Headcount so far:

Cynthetiq
JustJess
Quadro2000
Ubertuber
Halx
Buddah
Esen
Amonkie
Supple Cow
KungFu Guy
ratbastid
Lurkette
roachboy
talo

add in a couple more for surprise "i'm in" people...

puts me at 16. I'll submit the request for 16 on Monday and see what they can accommodate and let everyone know the available dates. Sorry but was waiting to get within 30 days from March....

No need to feel insulted... I'll just come over for the sleepover! ;)

So is March 17 the agreed date that you are trying for? Or when is it? Because I'm very interested in joining you all, but I need to make sure I can take off from work.

I had tickets to see him once a couple years back. Or rather, my friend did, and showed up late. Even though I was already waiting on line, they wouldn't let me in. :(

oh man... I'd love to go, but with being on the west coast and buying a home soon... ain't gonna happen.

Have fun though!!

My apologies, I'm not able to coordinate this at this time in order to meet the middle of march date, if you are interested in why please check my journal.

No worries, Cyn. If everybody else is still interested, my roommate works where Cyn does (though she's not nearly as much of a big-wig) and I can see if she can request the tickets. If not, we should have a meet-up anyway. Maybe March 24th, 25th or 26th?

Let us know when you are back ... there seem to be enough of us in the vicinity that with enough notice we can make it work ...

I'm going back to work tomorrow... let's see what days we can come up with in April/May

I'm interested, if there is still available space for me and my wife. I'm jealous of all those meet-up threads that I haven't been able to make, but I might be able to convince my wife if The Daily Show is also involved.

if this is getting revived i'm still in if its before middle of may. As that's when I get kicked out of housing and need to make it on my own some how. (graduation from uni)

Just popping in to say I'm still on board, too.

yeah, me too! :)

I'm interested in going again, but don't want to knock others out of the running. More to the point: if people are coming in from out of town, I'd be interested in meeting up before or after the show whether or not I come to the taping. Bring it on TFP!

That's what I meant. I'd love to do the Daily Show, but it's more about out of towners descending on our little town. :D

I just asked for a block of 20 and I should be able to get more.

Still awaiting date availability but I asked for the end of April/begin of May

I am excited!

Hopefully we're still included...we're still interested!

It's not a simple thing for us to get away but we would like to try to get up there.

Don't want to see The Daily Show but we're interested in visiting with folks if possible.

No reason to count on us at this point but we will try.
Thanks...

lurkette and I will be in the city April 23 through 26. We're staying with Q and J. We have tix for a Daily Show taping on the 24th (which is my birthday). I've got some work people to meet up with while I'm there, but we'd love to see any of you who will be around!

Ooooh that's nice!!!!!

of course crap, I just got notice that's when I'm supposed to be in Las Vegas :mad: dammit!

Noooo! Really?? I was counting on your being in town!

me too, especially after hearing that lurkbastids would be in town.

I'd like to get another enthusiastic run up jump leg hug from lurkette again. :thumbsup:

Now that's a visual... :thumbsup:

POUT POUT SUPER POUT
Dammit, I am REALLY sad you won't be in town. We don't leave till Wednesday - will you be there at all? POOOOOOP!

Consider yourself run-up-and-jump-leg-hugged anyhow :)

Are well going to wear Matching TFP Underwear, so we know who we all are?
:)

I can't make any gaurantees ... but I don't mind crashin on the floor if there's a party goin on ... will all depend on the courseload for the weekend.

Not very interested in the Daily Show...anyone wanna come to the PA and get me on that Tuesday?
Lurkette, cool to see I'm not the only one who leg hugs-of course, being bigger than Cyn and heavier than Hal, I refrained :lol: But loved seeing the stares doing it to Buddah each time I was in town ;)

I must have assumed that you could all read my mind... :crazy:

Anytime TFPers want to come to town, I want to be there! I would love to meet all of you.

Ratbastid & Lurkette - I'll definitely come pester you at Q & J's house. That's what a good neighbor does. :D And monkie, there's always room for you at my place.

Well ... Daily Show or no, I'll be in town April 15/16 thanks to Ubertuber's gentle coaxing ... can anyone say Ice Cream Party??

Oh HELL yes. I'm there. Maybe Cyn can make it, too, since he neeeeds to see me devour large amounts of ice cream. :)

Can ya? Can ya??

Ack! 15/16th??? We'll be upstate that weekend!

/much pouting occurs
/wishes the monk would come the next weekend to see all of us including the lurkbastids

/pouting again

We could always not go upstate, Jess...

/tries desperately to find a way out of helping mother-in-law move furniture for 2 days

Hehe ... I can help out in that department if you so require ... my desired insanity level depends on social interaction with the NYC crowd :)

You mean, you can come the next weekend instead? GREAT! :D

No .. only can do the 15/16 ... only have alternating Saturdays off, and school kicks in 394% after Easter weekend :S

Cynthetiq, I see this was moved to Events. Is there still a chance that the TDS meet will happen?

Any chance of something happening in the next couple of weeks?

I haven't heard back from the TDS audience coordinator.

Let me pop an email that way...

Let me know Cyn, Doc should be out of work soon, so we might be able to both go.

Okay... they finally replied and here's what's available.

8 tickets on these date:

We would like to offer you the next dates open, which are in Aug.

31-Aug 3, 8-10, 14-17. You must pick one show date. If you cannot pick out a date then please do not respond until you can.

I am available toward the beginning of August (8-10) range and may still be able to do it (14-17), depending on when a certain work related deal hits.

I have yet to meet up with everyone in person and this sounds like it would be a good time. Cyn - let me know.

August 8-10 would be great for my wife and I. If it's another week, we probably can't, but thanks for all of your efforts Cyn.

I think I can probably make any of those dates with enough notice. Hope we find a date we can all make!

You know me. I don't do ANYTHING. Thus, I'm always free.

Okay, let's stick down Aug 8-10...

narrow that further...

All good for me: Aug 8 / 9 / 10

We're two weeks out from showtime. Are we still on?

I can go then too! Whee!

hmph. I never heard back from them. I contacted them yet again. *sigh*

BAH!!! this is dumb... They are horrible at getting back to me, it's like playing phone tag with the Cable Guy for an appointment.

I'm going to mail someone else instead of the audience coordinator to see if I cannot get some tickets to this show. I know it's summer and they are busy but sheesh... some VIP list this is turning out to be.

I'll post again when I get ticket confirmation for whatever days they will give them and whoever is available for them can have them.

Sorry I can't make this more of everyone getting together, maybe that means we just need to have a rib event!!!!
