We were on TV! Sort of.

So we didn't get picked to go on stage, but you will see us on TV on December 26th. We were tucked away in a corner at first, but they moved just Kevin and I closer to the center, near the large TV that shows the trips and whatnot. We saw ourselves on TV, so if you look hard enough, you can probably find us. Back row, right next to the big TV.

It was so much fun, I already want to go again (and we promised Kevin's sister we would go with them sometime). The waiting before hand really wasn't so bad. Everyone was really nice, the pages helping out were funny. You get shuffled around enough that it goes by fast.

They did Plinko, which I know everyone loves . The guy won a lot of money, more than I usually see on Plinko. I was right a lot on pricing and even Kevin was screaming prices to the people on stage. He got really into it, it was cute.

The taking went by fast too. And everything is so much smaller than you'd think it would be. The colors look different in real life, so does the stage and everything. Drew made some small talk and jokes (we also saw him park his Vespa and go inside). Mostly, he kept running off stage and the announcer guy did most if the entertaining. That and the guy who encourages you to cheer and who holds up the cards with the people's names on them.

All in all, it was fun even if we didn't get picked. We paid way too much for a burger and fries, and twice as much for parking. But it was fun and I know what to expect when we go back with his sister in a month or two :)

I'll write up more details later. Right now, I want to fwunp. We only slept for about 4 hours last night and I'm exhausted. We couldn't take photos and we left our phones in the car because it was either that or check them (and checking them in means waiting in a long line to check them out. See? I was prepared, I researched a bit to avoid stuff like that).

Anyway... Fwump time. Thanks for all the good thoughts!
