But anyway. Back to fun.
Yesterday, Eric and I had the pleasure of meeting Nick Offerman, better known as "Ron Swanson" from NBC's Parks and Recreation, at the NBC Store in Rockefeller Center. If you are not watching Parks and Recreation, you are a crazy person. It's good stuff, people. Amy Poehler is wonderful, of course, but the rest of the cast is awesome, too. (Aziz Ansari, who moderated the Q&A with The Lonely Island on Monday, is also on that show, and he's great!) Nick Offerman plays one of our most favorite characters: a real red-meat-loving Man's Man with an epic 'stache to back it up. Here's a brief look at the goodness that is Ron Swanson:

That's a manly handshake.
Autograph, please!
Me with Nick Offerman. Good times.
It's just so nice to meet celebrities who are kind and gracious. When they're not, it can really sour you on them as a whole. For example: Reggie Jackson was the rudest we've met, and now every time I hear his name, I just think, "uggghhh." His name has a very negative connotation to me now. Of course I don't expect celebrities to always be super friendly and accommodating if you just see them on the street, but when making appearances at events (as Reggie was), why not be a little bit nice to your fans who came out to see you? When a celebrity is kind, the whole experience is so fun and it just makes you like them (and their work) that much more. So way to go, Nick Offerman! (Another that stands out as particularly nice was David Zayas, a/k/a "Angel Batista" on Dexter.)
So, we left the NBC Store yesterday with a positive experience, a few fun photos and this autographed gem:
My scanner screwed up the colors, but check out that moustache.
In case you can't read it, he wrote: "Eric & Meghan, Lovemaking is where it's at. Nick Offerman."
That's good stuff.

I love your hat Meghan! My name is spelled unusually (Kaity) so I am forever having to spell it for people too :)
I think it's funny to see what people write at book signings/meet and greets. My friend and I compared notes after meeting Dr. Drew and our autographed photos said Be Well and Well Done respectively, even though we didn't do anything besides show up!
Have a great weekend!
Again you have managed to make me incredibly jealous!! haha! But seriously that is SO EFFING cool that y'all got to meet him, he is our FAVORITE on that show! In fact, we watched his drunk dancing from last night about 100x. Awesome stuff!
