EDIT:
Post one is up at ColbertNation.com!

Liveblogging in the green room

Like, what am I doing here?

Well, the gf is probably beginning to suspect that this is more than attending the taping.

The deal is more than my support for WristSTRONG.

It’s more than my support for the Colbert candidacy.

More to come, I gotta upload a photo of the gift bag and other stuff.

The line about the girlfriend is actually a very cute story. Basically, Craig got booked on ‘The Colbert Report’, but told his girlfriend he got tickets to the show and that they were attending while on their trip to NYC, not that he was going to be ON the show! So he’s kept her in the dark about the actual reason for the visit … until apparently late this afternoon. How amazingly cute is THAT?! Seriously, that would be the coolest switcharoo ever in the history of boyfriends.

Dude is blazing fast. Here’s entry #2:

Blogging: gf and the all important gift bag

She’s wondering what’s going on.

A lovely assortment of snacks, and the green bag is the gift bag for Stephen. (Actually, the award package from Mediabistro.)

You might remember us blogging that Craig got a Golden Boa, just like Stephen did. I’m guessing that is his swag bag from the show.

EDIT III:

And another post! Craig is a blogging ANIMAL!

I think she’s caught on. Operational security was maintained until the last moment.
