Day 16 - 06 May 2003 - Santa Monica, CA
We elected not to drive the cars to Burbank, since it was over an hour away and nothing was mentioned in any communication. NBC gave us prepared instructions that no cameras or cellphones were to be brought to the studio. We thought there wouldn't be any pictures, but when we arrived, the real story was that they didn't want anyone snapping during the show. Not having my digital with me, I ran over and purchased a quik-foto camera and got a few of the group outside NBC. The quality of these pics turned out to be terrible, so we missed an opportunity.
We were ushered into a private section for the show. Here we had a bit of notariety during the pre-show.

Free day in Santa Monica, until 2PM when we had to leave for the NBC Studios for the
Jay Leno Show
It was surprising how they warm up the audience before the actual taping. Jay came out and explained a few things. There was a tee shirt and hat give-away and a dance contest, plus the producer was a fairly good comic.
After the taping, we were invited down onto the stage. We spoke with and took pictures with Jay, had a great time, etc.
