American Idol Dave

I meant to post this last week, becuase on Tuesday Dave tired out for Idol. Well, to be technical it wasn't really a tryout...here is the story. American Idol came here to SLC, it is one of our favorite shows and Dave decided to try out. The first day you have to go to SLC to the Delta Center to register and get the all powerful red wristband and a ticket with an assigned seat. They also gave him a list of the rules and one of them was no weapons and that included midevial swords! (random, but I am sure that someone brought one so they have to put that on the list!) Also you have to literllay sign your life away with their disclosure, it talked about their right to defaming, embarassing and even mocking you on national television! Then the next day you go and sit in your seat to actually audition for the producers of the show. There were soo many people! Dave got there at 7AM. They did the crowd songs and taped with Ryan Seacrest and then started the auditioning process. After about 6 hours of waiting, Dave started to calculate about how long it would take...there were approximately 3,500 people ahead of him, they could try out about 75 people in 10 minutes. That would mean that it would take Dave until 8:30 or 9 at night to get his 10-20 second audition. If you leave they take your wristband and you cannot get back in. He said they were passing on most of the amazing ones and he figured that since I was at my parents working on our soon to be basement, he would just come home and help me. So he didn't get to audition, but we feel that we really got the "Amercian Idol Experience". Jot that one down in the text book of our lives. (And thank heavens he came home, we got so much done, it was great!)
