But I feel that I must retell, in detail, the historical event of being in the audience for The Price Is Right.
Ever since I was eight years old, I have been watching The Price Is Right. If your a PIR fan, then you know what I'm talking about when I say that I would gladly miss my classes to watch the big wheel. And you will also know what I'm talking about when I say that Bob Barker is quite possibly one of the coolest men alive.
Bob has been the host of the PIR ever since the showed first aired in 1972, and although Bob is 84 years old, he is still as sexy as he eveer has been. I think he could be described as the Hugh Hefner of game shows. Not only does he have a slew of models around him, but they are also named after him, "The Bob Barker Beauties." And even though he has his beauties, he also has the pick of any grandmother in the United States. As my sister so eloquently put it, "Bob Barker is a silver fox."
Needless to say, it has been one of my longest life goals to go on The Price Is Right and see the silver fox in person. However, my heart was torn in two when I heard the horrible news that Mr. Barker would be retiring in June of 2007. For a moment, I thought my hopes and dreams would be shot to the ground and I would never get to sit in the audience that I had come to love over the past thirteen years.
Something had to be done! I was not about to let one of my most important life goals go straight down the drain! So I called my friends, my sister, my grandmother, and Delta Airlines. My grandmother offered to give my sister and I some of her air miles to fly the two of us out to LA, and my sister old roommate offered to put all four of us up during our stay in sunny California.
After thirteen years of waiting, wishing and hoping, I was off to see the infamous Bob Barker in person!
