So crazy me has wanted to be on the Price Is Right show for as long as I can remember. Our turn to visit finally came so here's a little recap of the big event. Two cars of us crazy game show lovers drove down to Los Angeles to visit Drew. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, checked into our hotels and of course checked out the little walk to where the line will form the next morning - or so we thought! There was a man in line when we got down there, yes Sunday afternoon the line started, he suggested we get in line around midnight. Totally freakin out - what do we do!?! Sleep or get in line? We walked back to our hotel and asked the man at the front corner what he thought, 3 am was average. That's right 3 freakin am wholly cow that's early. So we decided to be safe we would get in line around 2:30am, no big deal that would give us 4 hours of sleep. So we went to dinner at this cute diner with a crazy waitress (another long story) and headed to Hollywood (another long story, see next post) and then turned in to bed around 10:30 with our phone alarms set at 2:15. So 2 am rolls around a lot faster than you think and I hear Kendra up so I get up too, not to long after Taylor is up and then Allison. So we throw are sweats on and grab our books (the nerds) and magazines (the college girls) and head out. Well actually we decided we needed something to sit on so we borrowed the blanket off the hotel bed. Thanks hotel we promise to bring it back (and we did). We took the couple block walk to find 20 crazier people in line ahead of us. Yes 20 people, the first guy was still there and the next ladies had been out there since 11pm. We were perfectly happy with #21. From 2:30 to about 6:15 we just hung out waiting for our passes to secure our seat on the show. Totally worth the wait.
We sat in 5 lines for the day. Four at the show and one for dinner! What a cool and smooth process. First - to receive our Order of Arrival pass which secures your seat in the audience. Second - to fill out paperwork and receive your name tag. Third - interview with the producer and his assistant - you audition for your spot on contestants row. Fourth - waiting to get in the studio. Fifth - dinner line at Bubba Gumps!
The show was amazing. Even though one of us did not get picked it was very cool to see the studio live. I always watch the show and wonder why the contestant doesn't pay attention to what the audience advice is - well now I know. There are so many cameras and crew members trying to get the audience pumped up that the contestant can't really see much of the audience.
After the show, dinner and the drive home I think we were up for a total of 22 hours and it was totally worth it!
Super Fun! I can't wait to go again.
