I can't believe we did this. We set the alarm for 6 a.m. on Saturday to go to a live broadcast of "Good Morning, America" at Jungle Jim's. It was dark, cold and pouring rain as we pulled into the parking lot. There were a lot of other crazy "foodies" there too, some in costumes, some carrying big colorful signs, old and young .... they were packed into the aisles in the Seafood Department. (It couldn't have been Fresh Produce, or the Dairy aisle - foods I don't mind being around ... but seafood?! Ugh. To make matters worse, we ended up standing smack dab next to an enormous tank of live tilapia - big ugly fish, bulging eyes, opening and closing their mouths up against the glass.)
Evidently they chose this part of the store because it has an elevated deck which was perfect for the film crew. They could overlook that entire area and have a perfect view of shoppers jammed in the aisles, as well as the nautical theme of that particular section. We stayed for about half an hour of the GMA show, during which they cut to our location 2 times - we were told when we were "live" so we could yell and wave to America.
We heard from a friend at church that there were photos posted on-line on Jungle Jim's site (www.junglejims.com) - he had seen Chris in a couple of the pictures. And sure enough, there he was, with me peeking out from behind his shoulder! Proof that we were crazy enough to get up at the crack of dawn to be there.
