AFV Taping

Today Harry and I went to a taping of America's Funniest Home Videos. They film out in Manhattan Beach and we had to be there at 10:30am for a 12:00pm taping. We got there and found where to park. Next we stood in line for about an hour or so. They finally tell us if we need to go to the bathroom we need to go now because they don't take breaks while shooting. So I go then Harry goes and we wait some more. Harry has to go again and while he is gone they come and take us to outside the stage. Now I began to panic because Harry is still in the bathroom. After what felt like hours, but actually only a few minutes one of the pages comes escorting Harry back to the line. We now stood in front of the stage for a while then they took us through a metal detector where Harry was stopped and it kept going off so he kept taking stuff out of his pockets but he was still beeping. Finally they let him go even though he still beeped. By this time we fell four people back from where we were in line. Then go back outside and stand in another line waiting to go in. We finally get in and they start to seat you. It doesn't matter where you are in line they place people where they want them. So if you are pretty or cute or dressed real nice you get place in front or on an aisle. We sat on the third row back over on the left side of the stage. We had pretty good seats but I noticed that the people who took our spots when Harry got stuck at the metal detector were sitting in the second row next to the aisle and in a prefect spot to be on TV. Oh well.. nothing you can really do. We enjoyed the show. It was fun to see how they put it all together. Both Harry and I voted for the same video but it came in third. All in all a fun day.. a lot of waiting and standing but in the end it was fun.
