Egg on Face and Other Horrific Adventures

Okay people here is what went down.
I was told all kinds of things and I shared them with you all.
Different story when we got there.

Let me just say that I am using restraint here because of who will see this.
I am also attempting to put this in the best light possible for obvious reasons.
If you email me I will certainly fill you in but for this outlet I will be polite as I can and still make you understand what happened.

It was a cluster fuck.  How's that for polite?

We were not where we were told we would be.
We sat in the audience and while the apology was given that didn't matter a lot to me at this point. While that sounds bitchy I am leaving some things out so trust me it's really not.
I had so much in front of me (cameras, booms etc)  that I ended up watching it on a monitor.

I could have done that at home in my pj's and saved a lot of money and time.
Not working yesterday was certainly a loss of income when one is self employed.
I would never have gone if this is what they had told me would be happening.

The so called "comic" that does the warm up and tells you when to clap etc was a loser.
He was not funny. He repeated the same thing over and over again. At one point he said for 100th time, "how do you like that?" and Rick leaned over and said, "This should be a drinking game he says that so much!" He was lame and  so awful I really believe I could have done a much better job!  Having been to a couple other television show tapings I have been to ones that have real comics that were funny and that could interact with people well. He didn't do either.

The positives are that Rick and I did some fun people watching.
Rick and I had a great walk in Central Park.

We talked to some great warm people from Australia, UK and even New Jersey...tee hee.

We ate the best damn gyro ever in our life!!!!
I knew I was going to swell up from the gluten (I am gluten intolerant) but it was so honkin' good I can't even describe. We got it from a food truck. The guys were so funny, warm and entertaining. They had a long line so we knew it would be good. Since we hadn't eaten anything thinking we were being fed,we were damn hungry by 2pm so we jumped online.
We ate this and were just moaning. It was that good. Who knew?
My goodness I wish we had stuff like this in the 'burbs.
I had seriously blown up from the gluten but it was kind of worth it.
So my feet turned into flintstone feet from gluten and a bit ole puffy face and belly but some days it's just worth it to eat gluten what can I say?  I'll be better by Saturday.

So all in all a bad bad day.
Waste of time and money and my patience.
