Friend first, blog second, and probably an entertainer third.
Just a few more Office photos, taken at Kate Flannery’s Lampshades show Saturday night:
I highly recommend taking pleasure in loving The Lampshades — Kate is a wonderful singer! And that Cassie Chew really knows how to shake her groove thing.
The Lampshades perform the first weekend of every month in LA. For more information, click here.
Kate Flannery was nice enough to answer a few questions about working with a bat during last week’s ‘Business School’ episode:
OT: I assume you were acting with an animatronic bat during the garbage bag scene. What was that like? Was it being remote-controlled off-camera? Or was Rainn operating the bat? Or was it fancy editing, and nothing was actually IN the garbage bag?
Kate: We went from real bat (which we had to be extremely quiet around! basically pretending to scream!) to animatron bat — operated by a guy who was literally on my ass with a stick attached to the bat — to a motorized bat to just the bag. It was pretty wild.
Kate Flannery appeared this morning on the Elliot In The Morning radio show (originating from station DC101 in Washington D.C.), and discussed award perks, working without an audience, and her Lost connection (and I’m not talking about JJ Abrams).

The Philadelphia Daily News chats with Kate Flannery about how the success of The Office has changed her life:
Not so long ago, the Philly-born actress wouldn’t quit her waitressing job until NBC picked up “The Office” for a second season.
“My boss said to me on my last day, ‘We were going to get you a cake, but you’ll be back,’ ” Flannery recalled during a recent NBC party in Pasadena, Calif., hours after learning the show had already been picked up for a fourth season.
“I’ve had a lot of almosts in my career,” she said.
As Kate Flannery (“Meredith”) mentions in her latest MySpace blog, Whitney Matheson interviews her in the latest USA Today’s Pop Candy podcast.

Thanks to Sarah at The Elf Office Alliance for the tip!
It’s always super exciting to hear when Office fans get to meet members of the cast — here are some recent reports:
Thanks to all three ladies for taking the time to file these reports!
I hope to be able to file my own report someday … :)
Kate Flannery (“Meredith”) appeared on the local San Francisco program “The View From The Bay.”
Kate talks about the Office role she originally auditioned for, the funny thing that Steve Carell said to her during her ‘Christmas Party’ topless scene, her live show The Lampshades, and eating hand sanitizer.
