American Idol Auditions in SLC

I have always thought that it would be fun to check out American Idol and be a part of the utter chaos. Feel free to make fun of me all you want. By no means do I have a TV worthy voice, but I thought it would be a memorable experience. That is exactly what it was!

The mayhem began with group songs and loads of yelling. I was laughing my head off. I was amazed at how many people were there. After the group filming, I went out in the hall to find some water and I found my cousin Jeff!! It was so great so see him!

Shortly there after, Ryan Seacrest showed up, in the flesh. People went nuts! I had no idea he was such a big deal. Way to go man.

I met some really cool people. These are my early morning friends (and our wrist bands).

I got to sit by some awesome people during the long haul.
This is Amanda, who came from CA. She really should have made it through, but it's kind of like winning the lottery. They take maybe 200 out of thousands of people during the first cut. Lame.

This is Zach and his "Sister" (Mom) Brenda. Small world, he went to high school with my brother-in-law. It has been almost 2 weeks and I better be remembering names correctly. Sorry if not :)

When I was cut I wanted to yell, "pick me! I own and can ride a unicycle". It seems these days that singing just isn't enough. Har har.
