Seth Meyers, you're so glib!
...tonight, I dressed up as Tom Cruise and jumped on a couch at my friends' apartment, telling them that I was in love with Katie Holmes, I am not gay, and to go see my movie.
Then, I went to a show at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater, starring Amy Poehler and two other guys from the UCB TV show (Adair and the astronaut, for all of you wondering [aka, Rob]). Since I was dressed as Tom Cruise, we took the opportunity to take a few photos outside of the Scientology Celebrity Center across the street. A security officer on a bike showed up, and told us that we were not allowed to take photos, and then asked us if we were with "the church".
I had four options:
1) "According to section 4, paragraph 4 of Stan Landes' Government and Media class, your sign and building is in a public place. Therefore, we will take as many pictures as we want!
2) "I'm sorry, you Scientology is a pyramid scheme, not a church.
3) "I'm Tom Cruise! How dare you try to arrest me!"
Instead, I went with.. 4) "Oh, no, I'm just a tourist. Look! A picture of L. Ron Hubbard!!
It worked, by the way.
In any case, the show was awesome; basically, it was a bunch of videos which were then subjected to a Q&A by the audience, as well as the on-stagers (Amy Poehler was a Greenlandish film critic who chain-smoked and clapped with her feet, btw).
After the show, we asked Seth Meyers to take our picture with Amy Poehler. I would've asked him to be in it, but I can barely recognize famous people unless they're pseudofamous and/or from The Real World; SNL celebrities are an stretch unless you're Amy Poehler or Tina Fey. Oh, and then, I asked Amy to take a picture with me as Tom Cruise and with one of my many pictures of L. Ron. She said no. I told her that she was across the street from "my house" (the Celebrity Center", and she said that "you Scientwoologees scare me." I told her that she was glib, and that I would sue her. She said that she would sue me back. Then, the conversation devolved into a "What. WHAT? WHAT?" fight. It was awesome.
So in conclusion, it was a great night. I only wish Amy Poehler didn't think I was just another Tom Cruise impersonator; after all, in this town, it's totally possible...
