I'm sick of myself.'' But audience members waxed sentimental about their favorite characters. ``I'm in love with Elaine,'' cooed Ed Smith, 44, of Visalia. ``I love the way she pushes people and tells them to get out of there. I wish she'd do that to me.'' With Seinfeld as headliner, the show also piqued interest by hyping a mystery guest, variously rumored to be another ``Seinfeld'' cast member, Johnny Carson, or Jerry's mom.
