Thanks for hosting such a rad party!</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/110128987http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/110128987Tue, 19 May 2009 13:31:00 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CWzj7vGEzBw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CWzj7vGEzBw&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/111065665http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/111065665Mon, 18 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700<p>Nick’s completely obsessed with the Beyoncé song, Diva.  So obsessed that not only is it his ring tone and he wrote this parody, he tried to choreograph a dance for the both of us just in case we are lucky enough to be in Ellen’s presence.</p> <p>Sorry folks, I tabled that idea to save face.  And no, there will not be a posting of us practicing.</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107880981http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107880981Thu, 14 May 2009 15:34:00 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp9BhYjPaY4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp9BhYjPaY4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>DIVA</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107876003http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107876003Thu, 14 May 2009 15:22:16 -0700<p>Sometimes, it’s important to just look up at the clouds and think about Ellen’s gilded robes and No Doubt.

Karen feels very strongly that Ellen should buy a raffle ticket and urge her fans to do the same. Like us, Karen loves Ellen and depends on this blog for updates on our misadventures. Karen is very web-savvy.</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107364026http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107364026Wed, 13 May 2009 14:18:59 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0M-PETMas-s&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0M-PETMas-s&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Meet Karen</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107361331http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/107361331Wed, 13 May 2009 14:12:01 -0700<p>Nick and I are soooooooooo excited.  We were contacted yesterday from someone from the Ellen Show surveying us on how we got our tickets.  Apparently, we got our tickets the first try which is <u>not</u> how it normally happens.  Anywho… we were contacted again today by the production team, um… can I say nervous.  I don’t want to say the wrong thing and I don’t want to leave any info out.  I think I handled the pressure well even though Nick was next to me making faces.  Where is the flip cam when we need it?  That’s a whole new story.  In the absence of the flip cam Nick and I will be improvising.  Stay tuned…</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/106891877http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/106891877Tue, 12 May 2009 14:18:06 -0700<p>It’s official: Wren and I will be adding Bay Area class, sass, and brass to the Ellen DeGeneres Show taping on May 18. We received our tickets in the mail today, as you can plainly see. I can’t believe they were really coated in gold leaf! We CAN’T WAIT to meet Ellen (fingers, toes, eyes, kidneys crossed) and talk to her about the house raffle and how RAD the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is and how much she wants to move back to SF and go get like triple scoop ice cream cones and go roller skating with us like on Three’s Company.</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104796811http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104796811Thu, 07 May 2009 17:05:00 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oWqqACxkBzA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oWqqACxkBzA&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104794779http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104794779Thu, 07 May 2009 16:45:00 -0700<p>Here, Wren and I risk life and limb to impress Ellen with our gymnastic prowess. It just goes to show the lengths we’ll go to hype the raffle. And by lengths, I mean depths of shame and embarassment at my not being able to fully extend my legs up like Wren, who goes to the gym like hourly and can basically levitate.</p> <p>Ellen, buy a raffle ticket, move to SF, and whip me into shape!!!</p>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104790932http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104790932Thu, 07 May 2009 16:00:00 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Kb2b0Fm8uOk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Kb2b0Fm8uOk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/>http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104789109http://nickandwrensellenadventure.com/post/104789109Thu, 07 May 2009 15:30:00 -0700<p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal">People were falling all over themselves to give you shout-outs!
