My awesome friend Joanne got us tickets to Dancing with the Stars and American Idol last month. (I'm just posting cuz I finally got the pictures from her). First we went to Dancing with the Stars when it was down to 4 couples. Here's the studio. It was so fun to see it in person. I liked seeing what everyone did during commercial and stuff since it was taped live. I'm always wondering that when I'm at home watching it on t.v.
With the flash off this came out blurry, but here is me and Joanne after the show
Then we had tickets to American Idol for the 2nd to last show. We just barely didn't get in...they cut off the line about 20 people in front of us. But they said that if we stayed and went to Idol Extra which they film right after the show then they'd give us tickets to the finale...we were stoked!
Here's some pics from the Idol Extra. This is Justin Guarini and Danny Gokey who had just gotten voted off.
Jillian Barber interviewing Ricky and Jordin Sparks
Randy Jackson came out too
Here's the next week out by the red carpet when we got to go to the finale.
Inside the theatre
I managed to get a couple pictures before the show started. Cameras weren't allowed in but it wasn't hard to sneak them in. But I got too snap happy and during Keith Urban's number security made me go out and check in my camera...thank goodness that was it cuz I thought they were kicking me out!
Being there for the show was so awesome because you never knew which band or performer was coming out next. We were on the edge of our seats trying to tell as they'd set up really fast during commercials. It was so fun to be there.
This is after the show where we didn't care to have cameras out again. This is "Big" from Big and Rich (if you know country). I seemed to be the only person who knew who he was around me...but then again, we are in Los Angeles...not too many country fans.
Here's us with Kimberly Locke.
Before the show I was walking down the aisle by our seats and saw Brad Garrett (the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond). I talked to him for a little bit (oddly about Italian food). And then I was walking back to my seat and saw Jeff Probst and I don't know why but I said hi to him the way you would if you were seeing an old friend. I don't know why it came out of me that way. Joanne was all confused and thought it was an old friend of mine until she realized it was the guy from Survivor. I think Jeff Probst was a little confused too. But hey, that method is one that works because we got in a whole conversation about Chris and Adam and who should win...so there you go!
So those were my fun ventures in t.v. land...now we're hoping for So You Think You Can Dance tickets!
