Conan's Treasures
The folks at Late Night with Conan O'Brian couldn't take all of his weird stuff with him to LA for his new TV spot, so they donated a bunch of it to us. Some new items include:
*Hockey Helmets with baby dolls attached
*A 4 ft wide Lazy Susan
*Vacuform brick wall flats
*Max Weinberg's Band Risers (Black carpet)
