Come on down !!!!

The group from Escondido went to 'The Price is Right' taping today. It was Drew Carey's 2nd taping of the day, but his first day of taping. We were 25 strong and made our presence known :) We also added an honorary member to our fold named Travis. He was in town interviewing and decided to come to the taping. After 4 hours of waiting in line, being interviewed and sitting in the studio audience, the show began.

Our new friend Travis got picked for the first 4 in contestant's row. On the 2nd round of bidding Travis won his prize and got up on stage with Drew :D We were going wild in the audience. And the game he got to play ? PLINKO !!!!! He won 3 Plinko chips and won $10,600 !!!! Absolutely unbelievable !!

Then the next person to be picked was Norrine from our group !!! She won the prize right off the bat to go up on stage. We were all going out of our minds !!! When she got up there, Rich (the announcer) told us all that she would be playing for ..... a brand new Pontiac Solstice !!! She was asked where she was coming from (like I said, our group made sure we were noticed ;) ), and she said the Escondido Seventh-day Adventist Academy. Then we saw what game she would play: Lucky 7. The premise: you are given 7 - $1 bills. The first number of the price of the car is revealed (usually a 1, like today). After that you need to guess each remaining digit of the price, and depending on how many numbers you were off by, you need to pay the difference. If at the end of the game you still have even $1 left, you can buy the car.

Suffice it to say we were all screaming at the tops of our lungs and wishing her on. She made it all the way to the 'Showcase Showdown' and we were beside ourselves. We ended the evening at Marie Challender (a restaurant that has awesome potato soup) and arrived home just after midnight. 3 cheers for Norrine !!!

Ps, 3 more cheers for Ashley who made 27 t-shirts in 48 hours !
