Office Convention: Today Show
Friday, October 26th, 2007 | 36 comments
Brian, Angela, and Craig with Al (note the stylish U of S scarves)
The first event of the convention, and it was cuh-razy! The Office cast was treated like ROCK STARS at the University of Scranton. I was lucky enough to enter with Brian, Angela, and Craig, and got to meet Al Roker in the backstage area.

The crowd went especially crazy for Craig, who celebrated his birthday last night with a group dinner and karaoke. Craig told me he wrote the music for the jingles from last night’s episode, ‘Local Ad,’ but not the words.
Tipsters: Denise, Lauren

I keep looking for my friend Lauren in these photos..she goes to the University of Scranton and said that she was on the Today Show. Lauren, where are you??
I was seriously almost in tears because I want to be in Scranton so bad.
Next year, I’m going. There’s no question about it!
Thank you for posting updates! Like so many sad others, I can’t get out of work to join the festivities. I’ll be living vicariously through officetally.
Hope it’s as much fun as it looks like!
greetings from Scranton (which is cold and rainy), but Andrea and I are having an amazing time. Meet a fellow OTCR member (updog)!!! It’s been great…. the Today Show was crazy…. Tanster… we screamed your name, and you waved… :) See you Sunday… or soon with my OT shirt!
Creed looks so dapper!
Thanks for the video! I wish I was there!!!
I want one of those bobble head hats. Anyone know where I can get one?
[from tanster: I'm not 100% sure, but I think those hats were homemade. awesome, right?]
Please let the cast and crew know that there are so many of us who would love to be there and just couldn’t make it this time. Let’s start lobbying now for a second convention!! Maybe on the West Coast next time??
ooohhhh!! How I wish I could be there…looking forward to reading all about it this weekend…YAAY for THE OFFICE!!
i wish i was there soooo bad!!
awww - looks like so much fun - wish I could be there! Angela is so dang cute!!
I tried to resist reading convention posts because I am SO jealous, but I just CAN’T!
It looks like so much fun! Maybe I won’t have exams during it next year… :(
Wow, is it really that cold in other parts of the U.S.? I wish NC would catch up…anyways, all the Office fans look like they’re having so much fun! Those of you who traveled to go to this, how far did you travel?
Eeeeek!! Jen, I really hope you’re having the time of your life. You’re so close to being one of them. Maybe you’ll get a cameo on the show someday! HAHA
Trust me, if I didn’t have to work… I would be there…. I SOOO would be there.
Give the Kool Aid man a big hug for me! :)
The Today Show rocked!!! The actors were so down to earth. Can’t wait for the rest of the weekend!

Anybody else signing up for Second Life because they can’t afford/not available to go the Convention, and need to do something to amuse themselves? I have to amuse myself somehow! My good friend goes to University of Scranton and got pics with Craig, Angela, Brian, Kate, and Oscar. So jealous!
