The Voice audition,
Moscone Center West Ironically,
Luke Wade was my
casting judge. |
San
Francisco, CA |
My fifth Voice
audition. I got in line at 5 AM so I was in the second group of ten to audition. I sang the song,
"I Wish I
Knew You" by
The
Revivalists. I
felt good for being sick, and other than the young girl next to me, I was the
best in my group. I think I was better prepared and more emotional than her, by
the way. |

PM, they didn't open until 7 PM, and they didn't pick my number. Better luck

The Felix for dinner,
it was good. The Hotel Cafe changed the seating arrangements by making
everyone stand in the same line. As spectators only, we were going in ahead
of the musicians and we got a good table up front every time. Today we went
home since there were a few hundred people in front of us. |
