YES! We did I know you are freaking out right now! We went, we really went!!! It was amazing! If you want to see the episode you can go to this sight:http://www.cbs.com/daytime/the_price_is_right/video/video.php?cid=559221502&pid=sJD7O4HQIx1vkygLtdgrXKoXGQdQSvVo&category=recent&play=true
I think you can see me in like 2 shots:) If you don't have time to watch the whole ep. don't worry I'm going to give you the run down right here on Blogger!
So we woke up way to early ... I don't really remember what time exactly... I think it was 8:30 AM... We got ready and hopped into 3 cabs. Megan organized this whole event, she was amazing, called for the reservation, organized the cabs! Wait I'm getting ahead of myself. Meagan found out that if you had a group of 15 or more you could call in and reserve seats, your automatically guaranteed seats / a chance to win the amazing showcase showdown! Luckily we had 16 so we were set, we didn't have to get there at 2AM and wait in line!
You know I have to say going to The Price is Right has been an all time dream of mine! whenever I was forced to stay home sick from school I would lay in my mom and dad's bed and watch T.P.I.R. and fantasized about hearing my name called and winning everything! So as I'm sure you can imagine I was elated when we found out that we were going!
Actually the night before the taping I had the most amazing dream: I dreamt that we were at the studio filming... This amazingly pregnant lady got her name called, I'm telling you she was about to pop! She waddled up to the front, guessed the thing right, once she finally got up to the stage Drew said to her "Now, you can't get too excited I don't want you go havin your baby here on the stage!" Caned laughter fallows... So now it's nearing the end of the episode, I was like why haven't they called my name yet? Just pissed! Finally the very last name that they called was mine... I ran down, just dancing the most excited that I've ever been in life, making a huge fool of myself! I get the thing right... it was something stupid like a fake tree or something like that, I get up there, win a car - an outy TT convertible to be exact. So then when we spin the wheel I spinthe $1.oo on the first try and automatically was eligible for the Showcase showdown... Again ... just freaking out! So cut to showcase showdown... it was like a tour of Europe some amazing thing and then a huge chunk of money on top of that ... I ended up winning the SCSD my total winnings came to over $100,000!!!! Then after the episode we all went out to this amazing restaurant that I treated everyone too, and then for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to give everyone $1,000... Just because I could. Cut to my phone conversation with my mom... she was screaming I was screaming ... and then I woke up. I didn't want to wake up I wanted it to be my reality... And then I remembered that it actually could be...
So we arrived at CBS studio's at like 9AM and then had an hour to get food... We just had to be back by 10 to get lined up, interviewed, security checked and filed into the studio. All of that took 3 1/2 hours! It was a little excosting... A lot of nervous energy! I was a little bit of a mess that dream that I had kind of messed with my head! It was so amazing I wanted it to come true so badly:) So it's finally time for the show.
This is us in the morning... I almost got kicked off the property for taking that pic... haha We were defiantly the most rowdy group. But there were a lot of other crazies, we were just hoping that someones name got called! To our amazement they said: "KANDACE NUNN COME ON DOWN!!" It was pandemonium we couldn't handle it, the entire cast and crew of the Backyardigans was freaking out!!!
She gets up here. And they bring out a Laptop computer. She guesses it right! So she goes up, she kept saying "Is it me? is it me?" drew was like "it's you it's you!" It was so funny! And then they say "Kandace how you like a chance to win a brand new car!!!" She does the Tina Turner dance it was amazing ... the game was really complicating so she didn't win the car but this made her eligible to spin the wheel:
She was the first one to spin and landed on the $1.00!!! ... giving her an automatic $1,000 The other two people went over so Kandace was going to the Showcase Showdown ... but because she got a dollar she gets another free spin... she landed on the $1.00 again - This never happens!!! winning her an extra $25,000!!!! Oh yes so at this point she has a new Laptop and $26,000! We get to the showcase showdown and unfortunately she lost it... but it was pretty amazing! After the episode we were spent, So hungry and horse from screaming so much!
This is Kandace talking to someone after the show... she was a mess, crying screaming calling everyone she knew:) I would have had to get a wheel chair if that happened to me I think! It was quite the day!-----
We're in Tempe AZ right now... We had 2 days off because this was just a stop over city... The weather is amazing! Yesterday morning I layed out by the pool for a little bit. I felt really bad when I found out that it was snowing were Jonny was... hahaha Anyway don't wory it's not all play we did get some work done. Christie, LaRaisha, Creighton and I put together a really impressive audition packet for the Broadway production of Hair, the musical. Since the auditions were happening on Friday we wanted to get it out to them as soon as possible. So Christie, LaRaisha and I set out on a journey to find the post office... since we had nothing to do all day long we thought that it would be a good idea to walk. It was 2.8 miles away... We started our adventure and realized that we were all on the verge of becoming very Hangry (If you don't know what Hangry is; it's when your hungry and angry at the same time... a lethal combination!) So we stopped at this random diner... our waitress was hysterical her name was Val and even tho there was only 2 other people in the restaurant she was yelling!!!
Now that we were all in a better mood we set off again... on the way we happened to find this ... witch provided so much entertainment!
Christie was so bad at pushing! She almost killed LaRaisha so many times... We just kept taking turns pushing each other, going along our marry old way trying to get ourselves to the Broadway:) We abruptly abounded the grocery cart when we came to an intersection with a bunch of cops:
We thought that maybe they could arrest us for reckless something or other... luckily we looked up and saw a UPS store so it ended up being perfect. They got the Package today at 3:00 PM so hopefully they at least looked at it... hahahaToday we did a whole lot of nothing! I layed out again this morning, at like 1 we went to the mall across the street, walked around for a bit, got a 15 minute massage. and then saw the movie Quarantine, I think I pied my pants it so scary! I know life is so hard today has just been really trying!
We have 6 days left and I can't wait! I can just hear my bed calling my name:) Actually the thing that I'm really excited about is Christie LaRaisha and I are planning a Cabaret! We want to do it like the first or second week of January. We're in the proses right now of contacting some of our composer friends about seeing if they can provide us with some good new material:) So far everyone we've reached out too has responded with an excited yes:) I can't wait! I feel really good about this return to the great NYC:)
I love you all! Talk to you later:)
