My first Wheel Mobile Experience

March 2009.  I have been living in Orange County for a few years at this point.  I continued to play Wheel of Fortune as often as possible with my roommates.  One night while watching, they played a spot that the Wheel Mobile would be at a nearby casino.  I quickly checked my schedule, found out that I would be able to go, and began to do a little research on what to expect at the event.  

I learned that much like getting a response from an online Wheel of Fortune registration, getting picked at a Wheel Mobile event was a long shot.  But then I began to think: It's a random Wednesday afternoon, the casino is in the middle of nowhere, there's no way there will be the volume of people that I had read about. With a clear and open mind, I found myself at Morongo Casino.  I walked through the front door, and quickly found the line to register for the event.

As I stood in line, I wondered how long is this thing? Well, there's the wall of the casino, it can't go much further than that right? Boy was I wrong! After standing in line for a few hours, I received a work call, and had to step out, thus making it so I couldn't hang around for the event.  I was bummed, but I wasn't so confident that I even would have had a chance to audition.  This would be my last experience with Wheel for a couple of years.
