Were you ever on the Price Is Right show? Win anything? How were the taxes handled? What did you win? Did you have fun? I've been thinking of going to California and thought I'd make this one of my stops.....think?

Ok, been there. Spring Break 1999, and it was a blast.
They film 2 episodes a day, don't bother writting for tickets, it's just a show up and wait kind of thing.
The contestants are picked by the producer of the show. They parade all of the audience members in front of him, about 12-15 at a time. "State your name, where you're from, and why you're here." From that, they choose who gets called down.
I didn't win anything, but my friend got called down, she was the second person called. Blonde, 44 D's with a personality to match. Go figure, eh? Anyway, she won a pickup truck, and made it to the showcase showdown where she lost by a margin of a few hundred bucks.
If your episode doesn't air, you don't win the prize. You can't claim the prize until after it airs, so she had to wait like a month. Then she was able to go down to a local dealership where she picked up her truck. She put the state taxes and licensing on a credit card and sold the truck two weeks later. She just had to claim the winnings on her taxes that year, and I believe TPIR sent her a form for that.
It was truely among the most exiciting minutes of my life. It was SOOOOOO much fun. We stayed at hotel about 3 blocks from the studio in a hotel above a diner called Swingers (where we met James Woods!) Sooo much fun..... ;-)

Do you know how long I tried to get tickets to that D**N show? If you want to get tickets, you'd better start now.
