Weekend BrunchWelcome to our (mostly) weekly discussion group to talk about Stephen, our lives, our friendships with each other, and pretty much anything you’d like to talk about with other readers of No Fact Zone, what we here affectionately call “the Zoners”.

This brunch is actually being written at 1:32a, because it’s been a stressful day and my sleep patterns have gotten all out of whack. I did, however, eat a bowl of Golden Grahams for dinner, so I’m totally counting it.

Holy cow, Zoners! Has this been an amazing week or what?! And this week, I’m giving a MASSIVE shout-out to all of the No Fact Zone field reporters who have been bringing the scoop of all of the events going on this week. It’s been really amazing to hear the stories of the Two Rivers benefit, and the Stand Up for Heroes event, and the Paley Center event with the ‘Colbert Report’ writers. It’s the passion of the Zoners that has helped you come out of those events with some amazing stories to share.

And on top of some amazing events, we as a community have gotten tremendous validation from both Stephen and the writers this week. At the Two Rivers event, when No Fact Zone was mentioned, Stephen himself said that we are “a great site”. And according to long-time Zoner Spoon at a Spork Fight, we were mentioned at the Paley Center writers event as well in a very positive light.

I constantly say that I love this community that we have built here, but it’s weeks like these where the fruit of these efforts tastes deliciously sweet. I couldn’t do this without all of you who are lucky enough to live close to where these events are happening, and who come back with such wonderful stories to tell. So yeah, we rock. GROUP HUG! Has everyone busted out their ukuleles for Kum Ba Ya yet?

Here’s my action item for the week for all of you:

Introduce yourselves!

I’ve seen a ton of new names in the comments this week, and I’d love get to know you all a little bit better. So please, write a little paragraph in the comments to introduce yourselves. And you Zoners who have been around since before we even had the Zoner name, introduce yourselves as well – don’t be shy! And feel free to comment on each other’s intro.

Here’s a list of possible things to mention:

  • Age
  • Location
  • Occupation
  • How did you get into being a fan of Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’?
  • Have you been to a taping?
  • What’s your favorite sketch/song from Stephen or the ‘Colbert Report’?
  • What is your favorite ‘Klassic Kolbert’ moment (from the ‘Daily Show’, Wigfield, ‘Strangers With Candy’, etc.)?

I look forward to learning more about all of you! And don’t forget, you can use this thread to talk about any type of off-topic subject you’d like to discuss with your fellow Zoners. So get commenting already!
