Well, i finally did it.
I drove down to Chicago yesterday and auditioned for America's Got Talent.
Took about 3 hours to get there. Arrived at 8am, stood outside in line till 11:30am.
Got inside, stood in line till 1pm. Then sat in a holding room till about 3:30pm before i, and 5 others were whisked away into the audition room. We stood against the wall, they called us up one at a time, and we had 90 seconds to try to "wow" the two lady judges.

It was quite an expierience. I really felt i "nailed" it. I don't think i could have done any better then i did.
Now i have to wait until next March to find out if i make it to the next level or not.

There were THOUSANDS of people there. Fortunatly, the sun came out and it warmed up nicely, so waiting outside wasn't too bad.
Took me almost 4 hours to get home. I'm SO thankful i don't live in Chicago. Here it was a Saturday, and the traffic was insane.

Today (the 7th) is my wife's birthday. I had no money to get her a birthday present. So i'm hoping that i make it to the next round. I told her my performance was for her, that hopefully something good will come from my attempt.

I had pre registered awhile back. I WAS gonna write a thread about it, but figured if something came up and i ended up not being able to make it, I'd feel pretty stupid.

So i figured I'd wait until i actually did it before saying anything.
I REALLY appreciate you guys pulling for me!
I'm hoping to at least make it onto the TV show. That at least would get me a chance.
What i mean is, if i sounded good on TV, maybe some recording studio would hear me and give me a chance.
I know the deck is stacked against me........there were so many people there, and they had more auditions there today. Plus they are doing it in several cities.
But i figure, i had NO chance if i didn't at least try.

Thanks again guys!
I'm hopeful that something good comes from it. I really think i nailed it. I don't think i could have done any better.
The other 5 people that were in the audition with me, were pretty good singers, but none of them did any more then stand and sing.
I tried to put some feeling in it, not just stand like a statue.
I think i was the best of the group.
Of course that was only a handful of litterally thousands of people.
I still have hopes.

Good luck to you Cheesey and I hope to see you again either on TV or in person.
I'll tell you right now, I'm taking that chick bow hunting with me in October. I'm quite sure she could improve my abilities.
