NO DEAL!!!!

So, on Tuesday i saw an ad on the news saying that DEAL OR NO DEAL was coming to SLC to hold tryouts for the show. I thought..holy cow i could use a million dollars, so i told myself i would check online and if you didn't have to be 21 or older i would tryout. Well i totally forgot about it until Friday night at 10:00pm-classic. I found that you just had to be at least 18 years old. I was totally there! I mean how many people would actually fill out this 11 page application, go get a copy of there drivers license and go to this thing. But, like a typical girl i couldn't go alone. So, i recruited one of my crazy friends to go with. (who i think was just trying to get out of studying) The paper said that tryouts were from 10:00am-1:00pm and that if you got in line before 1:00pm you would be seen by a producer. So i was not in too big of a hurry. We drove from Provo to SLC and got there at about 10:20. I even asked my friend at the car if we should finish filling out our applications in the car in case we get up there and there is no line! HA!

We look in the parking lot of the largest RC Willey I have ever seen and there was quite a line, weaving through the parking lot etc. I was surprised (I'm so naive) but was ok with it, that's what i came for right? So Mary and i started our hunt for the end of the line. Right when we thought we had found it a policemen stopped us and told us the line was back there and this was simply a break in the line because of the train tracks. So with our spirits a little more down we continued our epic to the end of the line. Well with each turn out heads hung lower and with each block of SLC i got more and more frustrated. About 4 blocks later, past RC Willey we found the end of the line. This was insane. I couldn't believe how many people were here. Well so we stood in line and behind us were these obnoxious and very vulgar little boys who were screaming at everyone. I thought to myself if i have to stand in this line for hours listening to these boys i might shoot myself! This was crazy! I then saw a man walking toward us wearing a Deal or No deal shirt and carrying a cone with a sign on it. The sign said that from this point (where we were standing) the line was a 12 HOUR WAIT!!! WHAT!?!?! No...i am not that crazy...i wish i was...i truly do...but i couldn't do it. I asked the man to take our picture holding our applications and took a picture of the sign and that was it. Mary and i walked the shameful walk back to the car. As i walked back and looked at the line i saw pregnant women, i saw people in wheelchairs, people on crutches, adults with there 4 kids at there side, people with spray painted heads/faces....CRAZY PEOPLE!! With better stories and reason to win money then me. There is no way that i would even get picked. I know half of you(ie:my husband) are like...duh i could have told you that before you left! I don't know...i was shocked at the wait and the insanity. But hey it was fun. It was fun catching up with an old friend and at least it makes for a good story!
