Come on down!

Quite spontaneously, I was invited to come to a taping of the Australian *Price is Right*  , which is filmed in Richmond, a suburb of Melbn. I had a blast! However cheesy the show is on [television,](http://tvshows.ninemsn.com.au/)  it’s even better in real life. The audience and set is smaller and tackier than it looks on television.

I felt like a moron screaming at the top of my lungs for two hours (they film two shows in series), but that’s part of the fun: release your inner moron. For the second show, they moved us around, and I got a seat where I couldn’t see half of the stuff that was going on up on stage. I was still supposed to yell out suggestions and hints to the players. I yelled things like “the other one” and “pick the right one”, since I couldn’t see whatever was going on. Hey, at least I was encouraging.

It’s great fun for a very cheap evening out. I must do that again.
