The Price Is Right - April 2, 2012

We went to The Price Is Right taping on April 2nd.  Bob & I, along with my cousin Paul & his wife, Cheryl; my cousin Gwen and her daughter, Jamie & son-in-law, Mike; as well as Paul & Cheryl's friends, Jim & Geri went to the show.  We had to be at CBS Studios in Hollywood at 8:30 a.m., which meant we had to meet at Paul & Cheryl's house at 6:00 a.m. and we didn't finish with the show until 2:00 p.m.  :-(  The night before we were at Paul & Cheryl's making our t-shirts for the show.  They spelled out "McMichael", which is my cousins last name, since Cheryl reserved our tickets under "McMichael Family Reunion".  Unfortunately, none of us were picked to "Come On Down", but it was a fun experience and another item I can check off on my Bucket List.  Gwen's husband Jim stayed home with Charlie since he had hip surgery and couldn't go with us as planned.  After the show, Jim & Charlie met us at Vince's Spaghetti House for an early dinner.    Our show will air on April 26th and we are seated in the top right corner when they pan the audience.

Gwen, McKenzie & Jamie as we started working on the shirts.

 The finished shirts all lined up.  Bob did the work on them...
another fine job by Bob!

Arriving at CBS Studios in Hollywood.  The Price Is Right
is filmed in the same studio as Real Time with Bill Maher, which
we attended in 2009.  It is a small studio and The Price is Right
is very tacky-looking when you see it in person. 
It was fun to see what goes into producing a game show!
