American Idol comes to Salt Lake City!!!

What an experience this was.... The first thing I am going to say is that I am going to have a really hard time watching American Idol this next season because of my experience I had. My little sister Becky decided about a month before tryouts that she wanted to audition. We were all so excited for her because really she is super talented. A couple days after she registered she convinced Lisa and I to try out with her. I know, pathetic but true so we went the night before try outs and registered and had my mom and other sister Tricia be our guests. Anyways... to make a long story short we ended up waiting in line outside the Energy Solutions Arena the day of tryouts for about 3 hours only to be humiliated on the radio. We were asked to sing the phone book on the radio. It was awesome! We did get photographed by American Idol and are now posted on the website, but other than that the 3 hours of waiting sucked! We finally get into the arena. Becky registered the sunday before tryouts and was at the front so we at that moment realized that for Lisa and I to tryout it would be at least another 10 hour wait. No thanks. So Becky tried out, looked amazing, sang amazing and didn't make it. So I'm sure you are all wondering why I am so bitter about the experience. Well in one sentence I will sum it up. In the preliminary audition where you audition for random producers they chose about 70% wacks and 30% talent. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you all. It was an experience, something I will never put myself through again...

The night before the auditions we got a hotel room in Salt Lake. Becky got a mad headache so Lisa whipped out her handy dandy laser. Boo said it actually worked...

The beautiful, amazingly talented Boo!
