i was at sunday’s show, it was so much fun. when i met him i didn’t have anything for him to sign (i won the tickets so i didn’t even have a ticket). i had him sign a dollar bill cause it was the only paper i had. he said he had signed much weirder stuff, like birth control pills! he seemed like a cool guy.

I was there tonight too! The shy puppet was so adorable. I also liked the joke about the people testing google maps driving time being on meth, driving a mazarati from LA to SF on Christmas morning.
I couldn’t believe I turned into such a geeky fangirl when I saw him in person. This was the best I could muster for conversation:

Me: Hi, would you sign something for me?
Him: Of course.
(I hand him season 1 DVD): I tested the sharpie to make sure it wouldn’t smear on the plastic.
Him: Oh, good. Should I sign the front or back? I guess the front, of course.
Me: Whatever. Diversity Day is still one of my favorite episodes.
Him: Oh, thank you very much. Thanks for coming.

Ha, Eleanor, that’s cool!

He specifically congratulated our audience on NOT saying “That’s what she said.” Heh.

I was there at Sunday’s show. In case anyone else from here was there, I was the one from the table who “earned” one of his joke note cards. I think I’m gonna frame it.

He was awesome, and I really liked Dan, too.

Why did I have to move from San Francisco? WHY?!

I saw you! We were the first people to have him autograph/take pictures and such!

The show was AMAZING!

[from tanster: you should have come up and said hello! :) ]

Thanks for the report. I was so upset that I couldn’t make it last night (or tonight). Hopefully he’ll be up here again sometime :)

I’m going to the show tonight! It sounds like it’s going to be really funny, as I do love words, puns, writing, subtle wit, the Internet, and gadgets.

That’s a GOOD kind of “freak”, right?

I had to write and tell you how much I enjoyed last night’s show…even cramped up against the wall at my two seat table it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. BJ was so animated and funny…much more personable than Ryan is. I’d have to say my favorite moments were “Shy Puppet” – gosh, I just wanted him to say SOMETHING!! And the panda joke had me rolling. I completely agree that they are by far the cutest animals ever!

I loved the shout-out to Office Tally, and the guy who tried to make the “That’s what she said…” joke fit in. BJ’s reaction to it was so cute.

Hope you and all the other Tallyheads enjoyed it as much as I did!

My husband and I went to the 8 pm show last night. I’ve had the flu and was laying in bed all day, not sure if I had it in me to go. Around 7 pm I decided to suck it up. It seemed like fate because we found the best parking spot and got there right on time. Dan Mintz was great, and BJ was awesome!! I loved his ‘shy puppet’ routine, and the jokes he read off cards and then either kept or trashed. He gave a shout out to Officetally.com too! Thanks for coming up to San Fran BJ! I’m so glad my fever broke and I made it to the show!!!

I was there last night! It was awesome. The openers didn’t do much for me, but B.J. was hilarious! Definitely worth the trip. I just wish I could’ve had time to ask him questions about breaking into the writing industry… Haha.
