It was a zoo. They had to make the spectators leave 20 minutes before break so we could get out. You basically then had 20 minutes to wait in a 15 minute line for the restrooms before getting back. I actually missed two hands the first time. I have never seen so many people in my life cramped in one small area.
That first table was spectator central. At one point I look up, and there are probably 200 people standing behind us watching. When Ferguson strolls up to the empty chair, I hear a kid say, "how cool is this? Jesus and Annie at the same table!"
I turned around and told him it was cool unless you were sitting at the table across from them. I think that might make ESPN, because they had the boom on us.
Men the Master was at the table next to us. You aren't allowed cell phones on the floor. Unless you are Men, apparently. He spent half the time checking on his pupils via cell.
At one point, Brad Garrett was in timeout and came over and vented to us and asked Annie for tips on how not to use the F word at the table.
Probably my last real highlight was being at the table next to Doyle when he went out. That delayed things about 20 minutes thanks to the standing ovation.
Nobody applauded when I went out. Â
