Again, please let me know if there is a plan for another trip down.  I know I am planning for 2 trips.  This one just is on my work weekend.

 Oh, I'm sure it won't be a secret if there's another one, John. :-)  I know I won't be able to make a second trip (I'm becoming an uncle in August and my vacation time is already allocated), but I'm sure others will.

 Concurred.

The show is produced and staffed by TV game show veterans who have pretty much continued with the TV rules we're worked under for all these years. I can only assume they must be far more stringent than any Harrahs or New Jersey Gaming Commission policies that might apply.

So unless you won't be attending a show, let's keep on the safe side and NOT meet BEFORE the gig. Yes, we rehearse with the models, the prizes, the copy and the prices before the show. But AFTER the show (and after a few drinks) maybe we can spin the big wheel... backwards, even!   ;-)

 Just curious, Randy, (and a little off topic) have you ever had a chance to goof around with any of the actual TPiR props? Ya know, spin the wheel, drop a Plinko chip...

...Or is that just unprofessional?

Just got section 2, row F, seats 35 and 36.  

See everybody on the 16th.

Got an email from Dave Zinkin last night about the show - I'm going to have to see what my work schedule is and will definitely look to go, if I have off...

[tvwxman]

Hi Guys...thanks to DZink for the personal invite....right now, i'm gonna try to make it, but since I work weekends, it may be tough...

But it's worth it just to :

A: hang out with fellow game show buffs

B: Hear Randy (and Todds?) personal stories...some may even be about game shows!

C: Watch my wife roll her eyes. A lot.

best, ms

July 12...Crud...Not enough time for a broke 23 year old who lives in northwest Ohio to figure out a way to AC...

Have fun guys.

Whether this can top sharing a hotel room with Randy Amasia and Chumley Atkins, and seeing J! in Atlanta with them and Mark Jeffries, remains to be seen -- though if we can get Randy West drunk and get him to tell stories, the potential is absolutely there. :-D

Matt and Aaron... hope to see you both there, and I hope I didn't go overboard with the personal invites.  (There are at least two Matt Scotts who have to be asking this AM "who the hell is this guy?" :-D)

For those who are close enough to drive, are you crashing for the night or driving out late at night?

I never dropped a Plinko chip down the Plinko board, but my fingerprints are on the few items I was always curious about... the "Range Game", the "Master Key" keys, etc.. I was mostly concerned with doing what I needed to give my best performance and getting to know the members of the family, but there was that night with the tugboat life preserver and the Plinko stick at The Farmer's Daughter!

 Hey, whatever a hotel room in Atlanta will stay in a hotel room in Atlanta.  :-P

 I certainly don't, and I apologize for forgetting that you're in the general vicinity -- had I remembered that I'd certainly have sent you an invite!
