Creative Emmy Awards
I received a special invitation from a friend who works for The Emmys .
She got us free tickets to go see the Creative Arts Emmy Awards at the Shrine Auditorium .
These are the awards for the crew, writers, sound people, editing people, etc.
So we got all dressed up and drove into downtown Los Angeles.
We arrive in the theatre, in our long evening gowns. And the first thing we want is food and drink.
It was a cash bar, and we had to pay.
I asked for a White wine spritzer, and the bartender got very confused.
I don't think he knew what to charge for a little mixed drink like that.
Then one of my friends ordered a martini - and he totally overcharged her. It was something like $17.
I just don't think he was well-trained, and didn't know much about the drinks.
But there were so many people crowded around the bar area, it was just crazy.
We found a chair and sat and ate the cheese & fruit platter that we also purchased.
So many people brought Cameras. The invitation said "No cameras" so I had left my camera in the car, because we were told we could not take pictures.
But so many people were in the lobby taking pictures.
Next time, the camera comes with me.
Our seats were way up in the nosebleed section of the balcony.
There was hardly anyone else in the balcony. So we decided to sit in the front section of the balcony.
This drove the usher into a wild craze.
We told her if the people arrived for these seats, then we would move.
But no one came, and we had great seats all night.
Penn and Teller were the hosts. And they were so funny.
We did manage to get one of my neighbors to take pictures of us in front of my apartment building before we left for the Awards. <
