It was an amazing event. I wasn't there for day one but I was there for the second day. I wish everyone that makes it through good luck. In my hearts of hearts, I know I'm not one of the lucky few. I would be shock and/or amazed if I did make it. Just being able to say I was there, I gave it it my best is good enough for me. Only if they only allowed more elaborate steups I would've been a show in. Up close magic Is dead, I know that now. I leave you with the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "You tried your best and Failed miserably. The lesson is never try." Wish everyone luck..... Please put up pics from day 2 please.

Everyone was great there! I loved the experience! I was number one! Literally, lol. We started out by getting up at like two in the morning.. then we left our hotel room at like four. MAN! i was tired(: When we got to the lobby, we met these two great men who told us they just got back and there isnt a line so they are going to wait untill 5:00. We waited too and all walked down together(: The guy who was trying out was amazing(: Very entertaining and a great singer. He sounded like nelly, and looked like him too. Lucky me! His uncle was super funny and made me and my dad laugh so hard! Then we got to the convention center and stood in line.. first person! I played a little guitar. The people who were there were all excited like me.. yet very very cold. The little nelly was from the virgin islands so he was shivering. The local radio station was there; Kink. They gave out free doctor peppers and CD's. They were such nice people! Then me and my dad walked across the street (having someone hold our place of course. I needed to be number 1!!) and got starbuckss! Of course i didnt drink coffee.. im a singer! I drank tea and then little nelly got tea too! We stood in line (as he talked to his girlfriend over the phone and me in real life) and chilleed. (literaly). Then they came out, all happy (and warm) and got us all smiling. Such nice people! They gave out personal release forms we needed. Then they gave us our numbers.. mine was; 5082001.. the last three digits was how they lined you up! Then they gave us wrist bands. Silver for people trying out, blue for guests. Then we got inside and they checked out bags and did a metal detector thing! It was freakyy! Then when we got inside we got to check our paper work in! They were so nice about me singing my own song. I was so happy! I ment this really amazingly nice person called Nicole Cook. Sweet heart. And i ment this other girl but i forgot her name): She checked my paperwork in! Great timess. Then we went and sat in chairs. After a while they has us all go in a circle and dance around like maniacs! It was so so fun! We had people dancing, singing, doing gymnastics! It was crazing. The first song was dont stop beleiveing. A classic. The people were funny and broke it down!! We even had some mammas shake there things. So funny! After a while they called numbers 1-50 to get into two lines. Accapella singers and singers with insterments/people who did other cool things! We went into our own little seperate groups. We sat in groups of ohh 20 or so. I was three people behind for auditioning. First was a younger boy band who did some metal screamo stuff. They were all really nice and i had a great conversation with them. Then came a group of older men who did about the same thing. Then came me! I walked in feeling extremely confedent. They had me say my name, age, where im from and what song i will be playing. I then told them about my song and they seemed to enjoy that. I played and sang and they said it sounded good and that if/when i hear back it will be in march sometime(: Then we went home. My feet hurt so bad. But i tried to keep a positive attitude. They were all amazing people! I loved it! They were all diverse and smiling. I am so happy that i got to do this. You guys kick other reality show's butts!

I'm sooooo exited! :D
