2008/07/30 – Wednesday – Deal Or No Deal

I got a call near the end of day at work asking if he was late getting to our house – No Chris you are on time….

Well, I still got out of work a little later (15 min)

I got on-line to check the address, but I could not find the correct locations for sure, but their map was the same location that the address was pointing to.

We (Chris, Amanda and I) finally left about 4:30 to our destination. I was using both phones to look at maps and tracking our progress on the other phone (Google maps on the blackberry can get you an approximant location)

The first attempt, we went past it without even noticing the little sign on the corner. We then did a loop around one of Sony’s buildings. Next we were about to make a loop around another big block, we found the sign with the address. Going down the block, we finally found people lined up for the show.

Chris was able to find a really close parking on the street. We did a few trips back to the car for a few things.

When we got into the lot, we were put into a soundstage with nothing in it – except for a few chairs, but not enough for the 360+ people that was going to watch the taping.

Once all the small to large logos were hidden or removed and they were ready, we headed on in to the Deal or No Deal stage.

The episode we were watching is #409 and it will show the day before 2008 election.

We sat near the entrance where the contestant comes out – about half way up on the right.

The ladies were of course beautiful waiting by the cases.

They did give out some candy and a few t-shirts. Chris did catch one of the t-shirts and he was very nice and gave it to Amanda. Thanks Chris!

It was interesting when they had to re-shut for the additional commercial brakes necessary for the 90 minute show.

We finally got released a little past 10:00. We had to walk out a different gate so now the car was not close – o well. On the way out we passed a sign with J. May at a parking spot so does that means I could park there?

We stopped on the way for some dinner to bring home – we got home about 11:30.

O you thought I would give out the results – guess what – Nope – you’ll have to wait and see.
