Happy Easter....

Getting a hug from Danny from the Script live on the Today Show...

Last May I went to NYC for my 30th bday and was lucky enough to see the Script perform at the Today Show. In hopes of getting on tv, I created a bright pink poster board that said...."Flew from Orlando to NYC for my 30th bday...Hi Ashley" and got a spot along the blockade of one of the main paths in hopes Al or someone would spot me.  Lucky for me the Script ended up walking down by us to say hi to the fans and Danny spotted my poster board and came over to me. He gave me a big hug & wished me a happy birthday!! I was in love :) The whole thing was filmed and aired live for millions of viewers at home to see.....recorded it off my dvr and below is the result.  I was so giddy after...lol!

Tips for attending a tv show taping....

Here are a few tips I have for attending a tv/talk show taping. I've been to all kinds of tapings including Ellen, America's Got Talent, Regis & Kelly and the Today Show just to name a few.

1 - Apply for tickets early...most tickets are free for the tapings so they go fast
2-  If you receive Standby tickets get there crazy EARLY as there will be a long line if you don't and you probably won't get in
3 - Dress appropriately for the taping and for the weather (it was 90 degrees for this past weeks Ellen taping here in Orlando so shorts were a must!!).  Be sure to wear something that you can easily spot on tv as well - bright colors for example
4 - Bring something to entertain yourself with while waiting in line - people watching can only entertain you for so long :)
5 - Bring snacks if you aren't in a venue where food is offered as some tapings can go on for a really long time (AGT for example was a 4 hour taping)
6 - Have a camera or camera phone on hand b/c you never know which celebrity you might be able to snap a picture of
7 - Be prepared to smile a lot and clap a lot....both your facial muscles and hands will be sore by the end of the taping
8 - Most importantly....have fun!! 

Ellen & LL Cool J at Universal

Sugarland wins ACM Vocal Duo of the Year....

Sooooooo excited they won.......well deserved!!  Just wish they would get nominated for Entertainer of the Year b/c in my book they top everyone and it gets old seeing the same old people nominated!!! For now though we will take Vocal Duo of the Year :) Amazing performance of Tonight on the show (really wish I could have been at Fan Jam!!) and Jennifer rocked her performance with Rihanna.  Such powerful pipes you have Jen!

It's the little things that make me smile :)

Can't wait for October to get here!
