Since the internet is very compatible with lists, here are some lists:
All the "famous" people I saw/stared at/was in the presence of this summer in Los Angeles because I paid to see them or didn't:

All the "famous" people I saw/stared at/was in the presence of this summer in Los Angeles because I paid to see them or didn't:
- William Haynes, Sourcefed host and comedian (Salad Farm in Woodland Hills) (again, sorry for staring when you casually walked in and out of Salad Farm while my intern friends and I were having lunch there, I just recognized you and was super awkward in public)
- Josh Waldron, that comedian guy with the hair who appeared on America's Got Talent or something and actually made me laugh (The Comedy Store, The Improv) (sorry for staring, I just recognized you, and it was exciting, and your hair is cool)
- Taylor Williamson, that other guy who was the runner up on America's Got Talent (The Comedy Store)
- Neil Casey, comedy writer on Adult Swim and also the villain of Ghostbusters (2016) (UCB) (Thank you for validating my opinion that Ghostbusters was better than Star Trek Beyond)
- Bobcat Goldthwait, comedian, panelist on NPR's Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, and two-time Sundance winner, went to high school with Tom Kenny and a guy named Sparky (The Improv) (thanks for buying me a drink) (let's be real, it was your basement-dwelling friend and comedian Caitlyn Gill who paid for the drink but you were in on it! And then you said hi as I left awkwardly, it was great)
- Greg Proops, comedian (The Improv) (I wasn't that impressed actually)
- Katie Willet, comedian (The Improv) (funny)
- Bernie Sanders (Santa Monica pier) (he looked just like he does on TV)
- George Takei (Hollywood Bowl) (way too far away to be able to see him clearly but he was there)
- Garrison Keillor (Hollywood Bowl) (I was sitting so, so far away, but #allthefeels)
- Seth Morris (UCB) (funny)
- Owen Burke (UCB) (funny)
- Rob Huebel (UCB) (funny)
- D'Arcy Carden (UCB) (ok, kind of quiet)
- Nick Kroll (UCB) (funny)
- Charlie Sanders (UCB) (funny)
Other things I've learned while in LA:
- I have been really fortunate in having great bosses who care about their jobs and about everyone working for them, with very few exceptions. The boss of my internship was awesome. I learned so much. This whole bullet point is an understatement. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to come out to LA this summer for an internship. #BlueFoxForLife #LiterallyTheBESTBarbequeSauceEver #Foxstarz #RoCP
- I'm blessed to have had close friends from UNC and new friends to hang out with in SoCal.
- Good relationships go a long way. #communication #respect
- #DoYourResearch
- #StayOnTopOfTrends (because your job in entertainment depends on it)
- IMDb is actually a terrible interface. IMDb Pro is so much better.
- I used to tell people who asked me what I was going to do with my French and Communications majors that I might try to get a job in international film distribution after I graduated from college. I told people that because it seemed like a pretty good way to combine my majors, and maybe they would stop asking. I had no idea what went into film sales and distribution before diving into my internship this summer. Now I do. It's nothing like what I imagined. Film distribution is so complex.
- I went to a lot of comedy shows by myself and it was fine.
- West Hollywood has the best nightlife. #WishIHadMadeItToTheAbbey
- California catches fire a lot.
- California has great hiking trails.
- I should have reapplied that sunscreen.
- Theme parks, 360 degree 3D experiences, virtual/augmented reality, drones, 3D printing, light displays, and new technology are super cool and we should be learning about them.
