Ellen Show: Twelve Days of Christmas (Ebay + Photos)

Boy was I tired after attending the Ellen Degeneres Show. I can sum it up as "Waiting, Traffic, Lines, Waiting, Lines & More Waiting".

I woke up at 3:20 am. Left my house at 4:00 am. We arrived at the Ellen Show at 6:00 am to make sure that we would get into the studio audience. We would be waiting until 11:00 am until they finally passed out the tickets. Waiting in line wasn't all that bad. Everyone was super friendly. There were these 3 cool hipster girls from Palm Springs in front of us. We all began chatting and before I knew it I was in heaven. Why was I in heaven? Well it wasn't because I was right next to 3 girls that thought I was God! I was in heaven because we were playing UNO! I love playing UNO on my Xbox 360. We played a few games of UNO, took some photos, I made them laugh like 85% of the time except for a few times when they didn't understand a couple of my jokes because of my super intelligent wit! There were only a few gay guys that I saw in the line of 300+ people. There were definitely more straight guys then I thought.

At 11:00 am they passed out tickets so finally some freedom! I was free to do whatever I wanted in the wild city that is Burbank, CA from 11:00 am -3:30 pm. So my 3 new friends (Jazzy Judith, Simple Anacely & Avantgarde Sheryl) me & my co-worker headed over to Acapulcos for some Mexican food. We all got the buffet since it was cheaper than the actual meals. We stayed there til 1:00 pm.

After that the girls went to their show since there were 2 tapings and they were in the first one. So from like 1:00 to 3:30 pm I went pee a few times, made some phone calls & listened to some music. It sucked! Like most blogs do! At 3:30pm we got back in line and waited for them to get us into the NBC Studio parking lot. At 4:00 pm we got into the parking lot and waited until 6:00 pm. At 6:00 pm they took us into the studio. For the next 20 minutes they blasted all of the played out hip hop tunes of the day and made the audience dance to it. Ellen came out around 6:20 and did her show for an hour. Emilio Estevez was the main guest. He was pretty boring and didn't have much of anything to say kind of like me.

The first present we got was Boule Chocolates. Basically it's overpriced chocolate that comes in a cool box. The next gift was a $300 gift certificate to Calyx & Corolla again another overpriced store. The last gift was a pearl necklace valued at $1,500 from PearlParadise.com. You can read more about the gifts here.

I don't think I would ever attend another Ellen Show taping because of all the waiting and downtime. You can't really get in your car and take off during the down time because you'll lose your parking spot and have a lot of trouble finding another one since there are no parking lots around the studio. I'm going to sell the necklace on Ebay. I've been eating the chocolates & I'll use the gift certificate from the florist for all the special women in my life.

Bid on the necklace!
