I might not even risk it because I'm planning on catching a train home. And God knows how predictable NYC traffic is.

I got in too!! Are they gonna be checking us in or anything? I've seen a few people post pictures of their email with the time and address so I'm worried about it being packed, but from what I see on google images the place doesn't look super tiny.

That is an excellent question sonyaisgood... also I wonder if the confirmation email guarantees "admission"...
It seems like the kind of thing where they would send more invitations than they can actually seat just in case some people don't show up?

Anyone know if they're transferrable? Turns out I won't be able to make it 
and I want to know if I can have a friend go instead of me.

This is exactly why I believe they sent out more invitations than they can actually "seat"... I didn't see an option of opting out due to unforeeen circumstances and I doubt they'd be willing to risk not having the number of people that they need.

Great note! So, I should have a small dinner before coming in the place. Should I print my e-mail out?

I've been to the venue before for a concert and it's a relatively big place. I mean, not compared to a Broadway theater, but it's not a tiny room. Still, I think it's best to show up early. Hopefully it won't be too chaotic.

Just finished the session.
First... I was surprised how many people were there. When I got off the train, the line went halfway around the block. Line thinned out quickly though, apparently people who didn't actually win but heard where it was being recorded tried to get in. People were all checked in by 6:30.
They did a small Q&A while waiting for Dave Malloy and Josh Groban(surprise!). When they got there, they wrapped up with a few questions for Dave and Josh and then we started.
We started with the shakers in Balaga. Dave taught the 3 different paces during the song that we had to shake along with. We did 2 takes with the shakers and we're done.
Next we did My Gypsy Lovers. He broke down the song first into the melody, then the harmony, then the whole thing. We tried it first with basses/altos, then sopranos/tenors. 2-3 takes for that, then we were good.
Unfortunately we didn't get to do The Duel, I imagine that would be perhaps because our allotted time slot was up.
Ultimately it was a fun experience IMO. Got to chat with some great people, sing on one of my favorite show's cast album, and received a shaker and photo signed by Dave, Josh and Denee as souvenirs.

I was also there. It was a lot of fun. My favorite part aside from the recording was the debate over the real lyrics in "Goodbye My Gypsy Lovers". And that Dave Malloy was wrong about what the lyrics were.

I was there also. It was a lot of fun and we got out at exactly 730. Though i highly doubt that any of her signatures on the photo are authentic. I doubt they all signed 500 times.

Comet singers, did anyone mention when this might be released while you were there?

Sadly, no. :/ I was surprised no one asked about it during the q/a..

No, it wasn't mentioned.
Can't believe I haven't talked about my experience yet. I'm sorry.
Anyway, I got to NYC around 3:10ish, had a small dinner at 4, and got to the building at 5. Thank God I did because the line was building up. Even though we were supposed to start at 6, it started at 6:22. Davey, Josh, and two ensemble members were late. Wish it was handled better, but two guys entertained us in the mean time, which was nice.
We only did the egg shakers/Whooooooaaaaaa's during Balaga and Goodbye, Gypsy Lovers. Disappointed we didn't do the Dual, but it's okay. They had to go back and finish recording. Davey, Josh, and two ensemble members were so much fun. At one, Davey forget the lyrics, so he and Josh were debated and it was hilarious. We were finished an hour later, just in time for me to catch my bus home.
I'm so grateful that my dream to be in a OBC album came true and it was a great night!

For the record, the "two guys" were Jimi and Tommy of Jim and Tomic's Musical Theatre Happy Hour. The ensemble members were Katrina Yaukey and Alex Gibson.
When we were in line around 5:15 they were mentioning that they were planning to start at 6:30 and go for an hour.
