Okay, after waiting almost a year to get this ticket, they finally sent me a letter last week letting me know that the day has come to go to The View.
So earlier this morning after finally getting up about 7:30am, I pulled it together to be out of the apt. at about 9:30-ish. Since I didn't have far to go from where I lived in the Bronx, I was number 19 in line. It was cold, damp and rainy in that line. I first thought my face was going wash off along with the drizzle, but a woman like me knows to paint up with the waterproof face and of course the synthetic hair. My real hair although is passed my shoulders, I wouldn't dare let rain mess me up before I even get in the door. I was set!
Now we finally got in after waiting what seemed like hours to only have to wait again once we got checked in and gone through security. So we wait and wait and oh yeah, wait somemore. Finally we saw that the first show ended and the folks were coming out of the elevators with free Ipods as gifts. I only hoped I'd be so lucky...
After the upstairs studio was cleared for the next show, we were aloud up. While going through the doors we were given juices, Keebler's cookies and protein bars as a snack. I guess we waited this long, might as well feed us. I got seated. The comic/cordinator gave us the 411 of what (and what not) to do. I'm happy we could take pics during the breaks.
The show went off without a hitch. The ladies of The View came out including Ms Barbara Walters. The guests were Ms Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man) and Mr. Ward Connely (Political Activist). I was in some kind of daze for a sec. I really looked at them good. These are tiny, tiny people! With my big frame at 300+ lbs, standing 5'-11," I stayed seated the whole time. No need to scare them with all this "woman" here... LOL.
I got to take all the pics I needed. I wish I had of spoke up a little, I could have easily taken a pic with them all. Oh well next time. I heard one woman in line saying she waited up to two years for some tickets. I hope she was able to go see Maury or Montel in-between time. Anyhow I had a great time. The pics are posted and oh... I didn't get a Ipod but they sent us home with some cosmetics from Estee Lauder and a Iron Man, Repulsor Power toy. Since I don't have a man just yet, I guess Iron Man will just have to do (LOL).
Anyhow I hope you enjoyed this first of many blogs yet to come. I'll only blog interesting and entertaining ones; just so you aren't bored to death. Like the ladies mentioned, "Take a little time to enjoy The View."
