Months ago Kat sent in a request for tickets to The View, and of course they came just when she has started a new job. Plus she wanted to save her time off to take care of me for a few days after my surgery.....All day I felt sooooo guilty for having such a great time! I've never been to a live taping of a show before. It was sooooo much smaller in the studio than I thought it would be. It was just really cool to see how everything works and shite....
Since Kat couldn't make it I asked my friends Angie B and Mary to join me on my little journey. We had to be on the 6:40 am train, so we met at Ang's and walked over......THANX again Angie B for picking up my ticket the night before!!!.....You ROCK!So we got to the studio just fine.....waited for over 2 hrs in line.....First outside.....Then around 9:30 they let us in the building and had us all round up like cattle to wait another hour and 15 min before they let us upstairs to the studio.....But after that...... everything was great!
They let us take pics during the commercial breaks....Whoopie was there, and was announced as one of the new hosts for next season....also there, was actor John Voight......You know Angelina's dad......He played the father to Rick Schroder in one of my favorite childhood movies....THE CHAMP. ....Wish I had brought a pic from that movie for him to sign.....cause he was outside the studio afterwards signing autographs....Got some good pics of him though!......
And of course there were the gifts we got...It was "Kid's Summer Gadgets" day.....So we wound up getting a slushie maker, an electric spinning marshmallow fork, a digital camera, an underwater skateboard, and a gift certificate for an electric scooter.....not bad....but I'd so rather be in Oprah's audience for her ..."My Favorite Things Show" ...Now those are some gifts!Oh Yeah I almost forgot .....also outside was "Josh" from All My Children.....He stopped too to sign stuff and take pics.....Being the BIG AMC fans that we are, Angie B and I asked to take a pic with him.....Damnation!...He is such a HOTTIE!!!!
We made our way to some Irish Pub for a beer and a bite to eat....Then hopped in a cab to Grand Central....Traffic was soooooo bad, and the cab was so hot that we got out and walked the rest of the way...
When we got back I wanted to watch the show with the girls, but I was meeting Lisa, Jen, and Christine for dinner and drinks in an hour and I still needed to wash NYC off of me...lol... :)~
By the way we went to Archie Moore's, and we ordered a bunch of apps......Can I tell you how much I loved the Barbecue pulled pork nachos!!!!....Mmmmm......M!..I'll go back just for that.
