Extreme Home Makeover

well, the alaska episode of extreme home makeover is a wrap. dea was sick today, but i was still able to get out to see the 'move that bus' finale. working for the station certainly has it's perks. i arrived late, but was able to walk past a least a hundred people that couldn't get past security because the 'set' was already a madhouse.

not only was i whisked past the line, but ushered to the vip tent..well actually past the vip tent as the women assumed i was a staff photographer for abc. i got a front row seat in front of the fence. this didn't get me any closer, but it was an unobstructed seat for the most part.

the whole scene is absolutely crazy for this show. it's hard to fathom just home big of an operation it is until you see it up close. i'll post more on monday- more photos, behind the scenes tid bits, and more about the family.

for now- dea's cousin steve is coming into town in about an hour. we are heading to pinnell mountain for a backpacking trip in the morning. gotta pack.
