I was lucky enough to get to be an official "seat filler" for the People's Choice Awards this year. Jenn was able to get me hooked up, so a group of us headed up to L.A. for a fun night out.
The seats are basically all up to chance as a seat filler, depending on where you are and when. Our original seats put us on the left side of the theater about 20 rows back. They weren't the best seats, but we still had a great view. A few of us snuck out to the lobby and went upstairs where we had a view of the red carpet. When walking back to our seats we got to go right past choreographer, Tyce Diorio and dancer, Katie, from So You Think You Can Dance. I was so thrilled, and excited to tell Zoe.
The show was a ton of fun and we couldn't believe everyone we got to see. We kept trying to get our casting guy to move us closer, and he finally gave in. For the last 20 minutes of the show, we were 4th row center. It was pretty neat to be so up close! Queen Latifah was the host and we saw so many people: Ellen, Mary J. Blige, Christian Slater, Chevy Chase, Jeff Probst, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Hugh Laurie, Steve Carell, Rascall Flatts, George Lopez, Jessica Alba, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Ashton Kutcher, Colbie Caillat, Kate Walsh, James Denton, and of course, some Twilight guys: Taylor Lautner and Kellan Lutz. Of course, there were more, but those are the highlights!
After the show, we tried to stalk the after party, but no luck. So we headed home, stopping for a quick dinner on the way.
It sure was a fun night out! I was pretty star struck! Thanks Jenn (and Joy) for getting us in! :)
