1982, I was sitting at the bar at the Grassroots Tavern in NYC's , East Village (St. Marks Place to be exact). I was chatting with Bill Murray and Lourne Michaels who wandered into my favorite bar and took the 2 empty seats next to me. I mentioned to Bill that we had a mutual aquaintance my cousin John Caglione who did his special effects make-up on the original Saturday night live. I also mentioned that John just had a baby girl. This got Bills attention. He asked for her name, but I couldn't remember. Bill starts yelling at me (in a friendly way ) "How could you not know your cousins daughters name!!! At which time he took Lournes newspaper and whacked me on top of my head. LAUREN!! OK so I'm 29 years to late.

P.S. The background is the real "Grassroots Tavern" at 20 St.Marks Place, NYC.
