In August of 2007, I moved to Connecticut. I made it a habit to take the train to NYC at least two or three times a month. But my favorite memory is when I went to a Good Morning America taping to see Josh Groban.
My friend and I caught a train to NY around 4 a.m. and arrived at Grand Central sometime after five. We ran the blocks to where the show was taping. We were there early, but there was already a HUGE line. We didn’t get into the taping, but we waited outside, bundled up (it was November). Diane Sawyer came out to talk to us. She noticed my sign (ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A HUG FROM JOSH!) and came over to talk with us. I did end up on TV briefly, screaming and waving with the crowd.
A few friends got pulled into the building to dance during a segment and ended up staying, even meeting Groban. They came running out afterward to tell us all about it! Josh Groban came out after the taping to sign.
Afterwords, we went to this amazing pizza place. It was built in an old cathedral, and it was decked out for Christmas. The pizza in NYC is AMAZING! We got jacked on coffee and headed to TKTS. We ended up scoring seats to Rent! They weren’t the best seats, but the theatre is small enough that it didn’t matter. After Rent we were tired. We trudged to Grand Central and caught the train to Milford where my car was parked. We drove home like zombies and slept for 12 hours, then woke up to organize all our pictures from the day. I even sent my mom a youtube video of my 0.5 second appearance on GMA!
