After over a year and a half, I finally got tickets to Dancing with the Stars! And for the All star season at that! Since I didn't check my e-mail fast enough last time to choose Monday night's performance show, I made sure to get it this time. Unfortunately, it was Veteran's Day and the kids didn't have school, so I had to find someone to watch them almost all day. Well, it turned out since Sophie still had the stomach bug, we couldn't let anyone else watch her besides Trung or myself and since he knows how much I love the show, he decided to work from home. He does love me! :) I "asked" for four tickets and knew from the start that Snow was in. Weiru decided to join as well, so I was left with one more ticket. Several people couldn't come, so I finally sent out a mass e-mail to see if anyone wanted to come. Apparently, April is a huge fan too and e-mailed me back immediately.
Snow, Weiru, and I left at noon for The Grove and since the line was already getting quite long, they dropped me off to park and get lunch. April arrived soon after; we waited for a couple of hours before being moved closer to the studio, where we waited for about another hour. When we finally made it inside the studio, we were placed on the third floor, just to the right of the judges. Not horrible seats (though we stood the entire time), but not great either. We watched a pre-taping of the next night's "Stars of Dance" performance, and then screamed & clapped throughout the entire show. Apolo Anton Ohno even blew us (me) kisses!
After the show as we were leaving the studio, we saw Ricki Lake. Then at dinner at The Whisper Lounge, I saw Florence Henderson come out of the ladies' room! Somehow she slipped out of the restaurant unnoticed or else I would have asked to take a picture with her. Oh well, I got to see plenty of celebrities tonight. :)
The line at 12:45! We were numbers 68-72.
