Wheel of Not-So-Good-Fortune

Amy and I went to try and get an audition for Wheel of Fortune last week. The WheelMobile was rolling into a casino out by Palm Desert, and we were so excited!

So much happened...so here's a bullet point list:

-Ratio of old to young people: 95:1
-It was freaking disorganized! They should take a hint from Summer Spectacular on how to organize people.
-I randomly saw a friend from elementary school.
-The lines for the 3 different shows lined up at different times, for our 6:30PM show the line was wrapped around the entire inside and outside of the casino.
-To keep ourselves busy waiting in line, we played games on our iPhones/iPod Touch, downloaded new apps, and watched Best Week Ever. Then compared line-waiting traditions in 2009 to line-waiting traditions in 2000.
-Women were hanging around inside the smokey casino with their babies. Parents are rad.
-After we filled out our blue applications, all 1500 of them were put into a drawing and "Marty" drew out about 25 names to audition. We didn't get called. So we didn't audition.
-For the people that were chosen to audition, "Vanna" turned the green squares over and actually WROTE the letters on the white board when the letter was guessed. Ghetto Fabulous!
-Although we didn't get to audition, we DID go to the buffet. Which was perfect.

Overall it was super fun...but I will probably never try out for Wheel of Fortune again.

Ahh man, that stinks. You would think they WOULD have it more organized. Too funny though.
