Roadie Awards Vol. 5, Studio C

During our time in Utah, Studio C was holding a live taping at BYU.  We entered the drawing for free tickets, but alas, my email was sadly overlooked.  So we decided to go the hard route and do the old standby line.  


Cindy's best gal pal Charlotte and her family happened to be in Utah as well, so we joined forces on our adventure.  


This was the line for standby tickets just before noon when the line was supposed to begin forming.





Charlotte and family made signs in hopes of garnering support for our quest to get inside for the taping.  



We made it to the front of the line and were given a standby number of 10.  They didn't seem too optimistic that we would get in, but they did promise that we would be able to watch the live feed from upstairs and perhaps have a visit from some of the cast members.  


We had until 5pm to wait around, so we decided to spend our time in Provo by:



Cozying up to Jeremy...




Kicking it with Matt...







Reenacting a little shoulder angel...




Battling the brutal summer crowds for a bowl of Whoosh Cecil and Graham Canyon at the Creamery on 9th...





Hitting the classic Orem Nickelcade and finally winning 100 tickets on the super prize wheel of fantasical amusement...





And checking out the new Provo City temple.







We finally made it back to the broadcasting building to wait in line and find out our Studio C fate.



We didn't make it in :(  Michelle, Cindy and her friends were pretty disappointed, but just as promised, we were shown to the overflow room where we got to watch the entire live taping AND.....









We received a surprise visit from Adam and James!!











They didn't have time for autographs, but after a short Q&A they ran around the room for high fives.  I asked Cindy, if she knew how it would end going in to this experience, which one would she have chosen?  Get in to the taping or meet these guys?  She said meeting the cast was way better.  Secretly, I totally planned it that way.  I am just that good of a mom.  




Yeah, okay, so I didn't really hand out any "awards" in this post, but you know what? You know who deserves an award?  YOU.  Thank you, loyal Sweeneyville reader for not giving up on me and my attempt at blogging about my summer vacation before Halloween.

I know the head makeup artist for Studio C. Her older brother married my sister in law. She gave me tips for facial care a few years back. It was kinda important since I married an Asian guy....Asian folks never age. They just magically look older in their 60s sometime. She practices on my SIL quite a bit when she visits.
