I have no reason to say this, other than you probably would have figured it out before now, because she has been awesome for a while.I met Tina Fey once, in New York at a WGA rally. She walked right by me and I thought, "If I don't talk to her now, I will never get this chance again." So I did the first thing that popped into my mind: lie."TINA, I'M FROM UPPER DARBY!" I said as she passed. (I grew up close by enough, I don't feel bad.) She stopped, turned, said hello, shook my hand, and we had a minute-long conversation about Philly and writing until her handlers came and tore her from my life. She was gracious and had that George Plympton conversational air about her, like she had genuine interest in what I had to say, even though I am a nobody. She being a role model/hero of sorts to me, it rivals my wedding for Best Moment of My Life So Far.I also met Jack McBrayer from 30 Rock, who is probably the nicest guy in the world.

"Made out" just sounds so...gratuitously aspirational. For the record, it was just a peck. “Made out” just sounds so…gratuitously aspirational.
