My experience with “Friends”

I thought to myself it would be impossible to get tickets to Friends, but
it wouldn’t hurt to try. I knew they wouldn’t send the tickets until two or
three weeks before the show. My surprise the tickets arrived exactly three
weeks before the august 17 show. Well the day came I was nervous, we arrived
to Warner bros studios at 10:30am, the show started at 2:30pm, there were
already about 40 people waiting. They made us wait outside the studios until
11:30, when a lady would come to check the tickets, tell you that maybe we
wouldn’t get in, give you a number in line and tell you we had to wait until
12:45 before we could form another line inside the studios. At 1pm we were
escorted inside the studios were we stood in a line of about 90 people, we
were number 40,41,42 and 43. They told us we wouldn’t know if we were going
to see the show until they knew how many VIP guests were invited.

At about 2:30pm they let 30 people in, and told us we had to wait until
they could see how many seats were left in the set. I was so nervous,
something told me we weren’t going to be able to see the show, I waited for
about 15 minutes (the longest 15 minutes in my life), and suddenly they let
15 more people in, including me and my family. We got the farther seats in
the place, but it didn’t manner. Suddenly the guy who entertains the
audience says “are you ready to meet the stars of friends!”, I got so
exited, I realized I was really there. I heard it would get boring to see
the scenes over and over again, but it didn’t bother me, I thought they were
funny every time they did them, I never had to fake my laugh. They had
television sets for the audience so they could follow the story and could
see the scenes who where in places unable to see live. In the middle of the
show a lady told us we could seat in front row, because some of Jennifer
Aniston’s guests left. I was there in front row seeing my favorite show live
with my favorite actors. It all lasted for about six hours, they were the
fastest six hours of my life, I never wanted them to end. I thought the
episode was really funny, they really are great actors and really nice
people. Well that was one of the best days of my life, it was fun, even
between each scene they would entertain you with gifts, music and even a
Karaoke. I really think you should try it, it was worth waiting 4 hours.
