of Event: December 21, 2019 Location of Event: Palace Theater in Columbus, OH I went to Columbus to see National Lampoon\u2019s Christmas Vacation on the big screen.\u00a0Why you may ask?\u00a0Because Chevy Chase himself was there to do a live Q&amp;A afterwards.\u00a0The movie is still really funny, and when he came out to talk, he had a lot of stories about that movie, Randy Quaid (he imitated his voice and yes he said \u201cshitter\u2019s full!\u201d), John Candy, John Belushi, Bill Murray and his brother Bryan, who he said is even funnier, Rodney Dangerfield (he quoted Rodney saying \u201cI see a lot of boys. Where are the blowjobs?\u201d Funny.), Fletch, Caddyshack, even Memoirs Of An Invisible Man, as well as SNL stories.\u00a0Most of the questions were submitted by audience members before the event.\u00a0There were a few hecklers but he handled them well.\u00a0It was great to see him in person.\u00a0He will always be my favorite cast member of SNL.\u00a0For those who may not know, he was initially hired just as the head writer, but when he came up with \u201cWeekend Update\u201d Lorne Michaels made him a cast member of the \u201cNot Ready For Primetime Players\u201d.\u00a0He is also a musician who can sing in perfect pitch, plays drums and piano.\u00a0He said he used to hang out with famous jazz musicians Bill Evans and Thelonius Monk.\u00a0He also played with future Steely Dan founders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (RIP).\u00a0He said he\u2019s working on a new Fletch script and his autobiography.\u00a0Fun night.\u00a0My last event until at least February or March.\u00a0Great end to a mostly great year.
