DAY 2
Audition day
Woke up at 3:30 am to the pouring rain. We had to be there by 5 am! Waited in line for 2 hours or more. . . just to get in to an open stadium.
But at least I got to sit down. My legs hurt so bad. It was a mixture between the cold. . . lack of sleep. . . and obviously standing for hours. My hair became a mess. . . even with a poncho!!
There was so much talent there! And so many people who wanted to be "the next American Idol" so badly. . . and didn't stand a chance!
This guy sat behind me and I started talking to him. . . After the rain stopped he got out his guitar and started to play. He was SO good I hope he makes it through SO bad! Also I went up to the bathroom and there was a super talented girl in there that I am pulling for! It will be fun to watch in January and see if I recognize anyone.
While I was in the bathroom I heard them announce over the intercom that Ryan Seacrest was there so I thought, "cool, I'll go down and see if I can get a picture of him."
This is my first pic. . . Yeah I know you can't really see him. . . My camera was all the way zoomed in, and I though I'll just crop it. . . THEN. . .
He got closer. . .
. . . and closer.
He came up the stairs right in front of where I was standing.
I asked this random guy to take a picture of me with him in the background
just so I could show everyone how close he got to me. . .
Then he through his arm around me and said "would you like a picture?"
And of course I said yes!
SO here I am with Ryan Seacrest! May not be as exciting to you as it was to me.
I was 1 out of 15 that got a picture with him. . . and there were 12,000 people there.
I am so glad I went. I had a blast!
I though this was a cool picture of all of the umbrellas.
Me and my American Idol tryout buddy,
with the 12,000 others trying out for American Idol in the background
These are the booths you try out at. You line up in groups of 4 and they tell you if your cut out for the competition or not. Pretty much they take the REALLY BAD singers. . . and the REALLY great singers. And maybe a few in-between-ers. SO pretty much I had no chance, but I expected that! I'm OK being a stay at home mom for the rest of my life;) But I'm glad I had the experience! Besides I got a picture with Ryan!! :D

And then poor little Livi still stuck at home with mom and dad for many more years. Wow. How crazy is that. Miss you tons. Love you guys. Tell Camron Hi and kiss your kids for me.
