American Idol
Okay, so I am deviating slightly from the Health and Fitness theme of my Blog to tell you
about my AWESOME trip to American Idol on Wednesday – because it was so cool! =)
My father-in-law has been friends with Steve Tyler for years and when we heard he was
judging Idol (one of my favorite shows) we naturally asked if there was a chance to go
see it LIVE…
…and there was!
Mr. Tyler hooked us up with show tickets for last Wednesday’s performance show.
They film it at CBS Studios in Beverly Hills. You actually park at The Grove – which is
awesome by the way – and then we entered the studio lot through the side gate per the
instructions.
The tickets were waiting for us with security. The Idol email we’d received a day earlier
clearly said NO Cell Phones, NO Cameras allowed. My wife decided to try and smuggle
her phone in – lucky for me she carries the largest purse on earth – and we got the
phone in! The set looks so much bigger on t.v.!
After the show, which was phenomenal – they all sounded much better in real life – they
were setting up for the Enrique Iglesias performance (to air on Thursday) when a woman
appeared and asked us to follow her…all I thought was “this is awesome!”, she took us to
Steve’s trailer / dressing room and said hang out. So we did…
What a great time and what a cool guy he is! Got to meet Steven’s new band members
too (this album is solo) which was a blast.
All in all it was one of the most fun experiences I’ve had…live shows and performances
are really so much better than t.v. or film don’t you think?
Any awesome live show experiences or thoughts you’d like to share below?
