(2) This is the photo that was taken whilst we were at the actual taping of the Martha Stewart Show in NY (04/12/11). This is on her facebook page.
(3) This is the contents of the goodies bag that each of us were given after the taping of the show concluded at 3.30pm.
We have had an eventful time whilst in New York city. As we got in late-ish on Monday night, there was not a lot to be done, except check emails, facebook etc and Matthew and India went and got a chilli hot dog from one of the street vendors and some great Gelato and Sorbet ice-cream.
Tuesday was THE day - the tickets that I had hoped to get for the Martha Stewart Show had materialised whilst we were in Los Angeles. Now all we had to do was utilise them.
We caught the subway (dirty, stinky and noisy) to 23rd street and proceeded to make our way to her studio - arrived there at about 9.30am. No one was allowed in until 12.30pm for the 2.pm taping - BUT I was not about to be outdone for front row seats (as you can see from the facebook picture).
There was a taping of her show earlier that morning, but we had the van man out front to keep us amused with his woe-begotten tales of exactly how rude Jack Nicholson can be ... It got over-cast and cold and then started to rain - lucky the van man served up not only food but brollies.
At 12.30pm the stage doors opened and Ashlea, Gabi and I were the first ones into recieve our tickets.
#1 - me #2 - Gabi # 3 - Ashlea
The girls and I waited from 9.30am-ish - 12.30pm to make sure that we had the best seats in the house - which we did. It was a great experience to be there and the goodies were a bonus. The fun of being in a live studio audience, and especially with the 'creative' Martha Stewart and her team of hard-working geniuses - we were ALL like giggly school girls (even the men that were there too).
Whilst we were otherwise occupied Matthew and India roamed the streets of NY and ended up at the Rockefeller Centre - they seemed to enjoy all that was on offer there. They got caught in the freezing NY rain and had to buy hoodies to warm up - Matthew an NYPD and India with a NEW YORK one. They came back to greet us tussled and happy, sporting not only the new hoodies, but very sore feet.
Around 3.30pm we had met up again to retrace our steps back to the motel to get changed for an evening out. We all went for dinner and attened a Broadway show - "Jersey Boys". What an experience that was - Franky Vali music as loud as you wanted!!!
