After 16 years, Conan O’Brien did his last show on Late Night on February 20th, 2009. I have been a fan of Late Night since the beginning. While I’m not certain it was from the very first episode (I was only 10 years old at the time), it was definitely during the first season.

Throughout my teen years, I would stay up late and watch every episode during the summer and either record them on VHS or, if I was up late doing homework, watch it live when school was in session.

I’ve grown up with Conan.. I remember showing an episode of Late Night to Sal, a friend of mine since grade school, that had Camel Toe Annie in it. While we were laughing our asses off, his mom walked in and told us to turn it off. I don’t think I was allowed to bring any more VHS tapes of Conan over after that. I’m sure I still snuck some over so we could watch them while his parents were asleep.

Even to this day I’ve watched most of every episode of Late Night thanks to the invention of TiVo.

The last episode of Conan was great, it brought back lots of good memories. Andy Richter stopped by to say hello and goodbye, and a few days later it was announced that Andy will be the new announcer for The Tonight Show. It’s great that Conan and Andy will be back together, any true COB fan understands what I mean.

This evening I received an email that 3 tickets have been reserved for Conan’s June 2nd taping of The Tonight Show. While it would have been awesome if I got tickets for the June 1st taping, I’m more than happy to get tickets sometime during the first week. I have to thank @bigbley for posting this notice on twitter so that I could quickly send an email for the tickets.

I’ll be posting a followup with pictures from the show after I get back, stay tuned!

This is what I had to deal with over the weekend. Some asshole tried to steal my car by throwing a rock through my window. They must have been spooked by the car alarm since in the 90 seconds it took me to look outside at my car, they were already gone. Now I’m carrying full glass coverage with Progressive, so not only did it cost me $300 to get my window replaced, it’s going to cost me another $200 a year in additional insurance. People suck!

Check out the TV commercial for Mercenaries 2:

Even though I haven’t played the first game, I just might have to pick this one up.. the trailer looks cool.

Also check out a behind the scenes breakdown of the commercial and listen to the full length version of the song [Play]Oh No You Didn’t!

We didn’t make it to the Mythbusters presentation at Comic-Con and this is what we missed..

I’ve never believed this whole “Moon Hoax” theory.. maybe it’s because I’m a real space nut and it would just crush me if we really never have landed on the moon. I’ve never looked at the “nonparallel shadows” theory before and that does intrigue me.. We’ll just have to see what Jamie and Adam have to say about it on August 27th!

‘Warcraft’ Sequel Lets Gamers Play A Character Playing ‘Warcraft’

Just finished watching the first episode of Discovery Channel’s 6-part series of When We Left Earth. Great stuff, awesome in HD 1080i! Let me know if you want to come by and check it out in all of it’s HD goodness on a 106″ screen!

Listening to a good song by the Foo Fighters called [Play]Let it Die.

Listening to a catchy tune by Kerli called [Play]Walking on Air. Kind of like Björk meets pop.

I can’t get this song out of my head!
