PRICE is RIGHT!!

 

Well, here are the brave, the crazy, the dedicated--who were willing to get up at 5 am to drive 2 1/2 hours, watch the sun rise while we drove and navigate in downtown LA to go see the PRICE IS RIGHT! We had a really great time! We made some stickers to put on our shirts--but Suzie's shirt was the best! We got there just in time and luckily Claudia had a handicap plaque so we got prime parking! We then got in line and waited and waited and waited.....we could move about though so that was good. We had a great time visiting with each other and getting to know each other better. That was the best part about the day! After a couple hours they started moving the line around and then we moved closer and closer to the "group" interview where they asked us our name, where we were from and what we did. We tried to act all excited and bubbly but that's not so easy.....There were many "interesting" people in line with us so it was fun to people watch and talk to those around us. Everyone was nice and friendly and really "excited" to be there! We just weren't too sure about the group of 30 guys......where did you come from??
Finally after about 4 hours of waiting we were able to be seated and boy was that crowd a wild one! Screaming and yelling like I haven't heard since cheering at a high school basketball game! The set is much smaller in person than it looks on tv and Drew Carey looked pretty great! he was super nice during commercials and talked to the audience and that made it fun. Unfortunately no one in our group passed the test apparently, as none of us were called down.....And both contestant overbid on their showcase...and no one won a car that day....darn....oh well, it was still a super fun adventure and sure glad I got up to go! We left LA at about 3:00 just in time for rush hour so we stopped at In-n-Out for a break and made it home to our families at aroudn 6pm. Fun Day!
