Last Friday I saw my amazing friend Kelli star (alongside B-Way vets and SNL's Celine Dion impersonator, Ana Gasteyer) in this HILARIOUS play called The Royal Family on Broadway. Seriously, if you are in/around the tri-state area, go see it. It opens this Thursday officially but it is amazing. Chances are, if you, my dear reader, are coming to visit me here in the next 4 months, we will be seeing this and powering laughing from the Mezzanine level.

After the show, I got to meet Ana and tell her casually that I love her SNL work, and she was super normal and seriously HILARIOUS in this show. She's amazing.

Kelli had told her about my SNL dreams, and made the connection backstage that "this was the one that's going to be on SNL," to which Ana smiled encouragingly, and I simply told her, "it's true." That's all I could think of.  IT'S TRUE?! I have SO much game.

But of course, channeling Cinderella, I accidentally left my dayplanner (full of an embarrassing amount of post-its that say things like "do some yoga today" and "get on SNL" and "Spinach?") in the bathroom at the theatre.

On the back page, I have written a quote from Lorne Michaels that says:
"You can tell a lot from someone's eyes."

I went back to get it the next night, and the house manager exclaimed "Oh yeah! Does it have a Lorne Michaels quote in the back?" So I, excited that my life-guide has been found, screamed out "YES!"
He said that he saw the quote and thought it was Ana Gasteyer's, and asked her if it was hers, showing her the quote in the back.

Awesome.

Now Ana Gasteyer knows.
