Waking up this morning, I can’t tell you how relieved I was to have the first show under my belt.
The build up over the last few weeks has been one thing, but yesterday was entirely nerve wracking. My phone ringing off the hook and my email exploding with well wishes from friends and family members and it seems, every person I’ve crossed paths with over the course of my life. And amidst all of this anticipation, work was super busy. We were cooking for an event, the food came out well and we were on schedule…until I got a call from my driver, Juan, to tell me that the clutch in our van was out. Of course! Luckily he was only a block away and we were able to get another van, transfer the food, and still send him on his way in a moderately timely fashion, but a close call to be sure.
Watching the show last night was totally wild, to put it lightly. It’s still hard to believe that the experience I had in Las Vegas is at all related to the neatly packaged television show that debuted last night. The experience of it all was so emotional while we were living it. But with the buffer of the screen, it now seems so separate from being there and in many ways it is. The show you saw last night is such a small fraction of the whole, that the product hardly resembles what I remember feeling.
