Price is Right

The other day, the school put on a "Price is Right" contest for students, and I was dragged along by a friend of mine, as I usually don't do anything interesting such as going to cool campus events. I was worried that it would be incredibly lame, but it turned out to be quite cool.

I didn't even remember ever seeing The Price is Right before, but seeing this revitalized some memory that I had of previously seeing it, and I believe it's fair to say that the event was a fair depiction of the show. Anyone who comes in submits a ticket, and these tickets are used to randomly select contestants for the different rounds.

Of course, people had to compete in guessing how much different items cost, and then got to participate in further contests/games depending on how well they did in the intitial round.

What really shocked me, though, was the quality of the prizes. For example, one girl won an iPod along with Sony Noise-Cancelling headphones. I was ridiculously jealous.

Maybe I should go to more campus events. The Kennedy Center Programming Board did a good job I guess.
