So I got in line for registration (for the American Idol auditions) at 6am, and there was already over 1,000 people in front of me. Maybe 2,000.. who knows. Made a couple friends in line (they were all from Wisconsin) and gave them some tips on what places to go to and how to use the Light Rail and such. A lot of out-of-towners.When we finally got to the registration tables (3 hours later), I walked up and plopped down my two forms of ID, and then a news camera came up to me. Some reporter from the local FOX station I think (read: evil). She asked me what songs I was going to sing and I said I didn't want to say because I didn't want anyone else singing them. Then she asked me to sing something, saying it would probably be my only chance to sing on TV. And I was just thinking, er, I'd like to be embarrassed only once through this whole ordeal, so, uh, no thanks. Then I told her someone wanted me to sing the Cool Whip jingle and she laughed. I didn't realize the bit was live though, so I kept grabbing the microphone and making terrible comments about how I was there as a joke. Uhm, oops?
Then I got my bracelet and forgot my wallet at the table. Luckily I realized it before leaving and retrieved it 5 minutes later. Now I'm at work type type typing away with this monstrous hot orange bracelet on my wrist with American Idol logos all over it. So yeah, in conclusion, I WAS ON TV!!!! :)
More updates Friday night after auditions.
