dvsness, dedication and desire

AG - Audition was GREAT!! Although we got there super early - before 7am and they opened the doors at 10am - and we were near the beginning of what turned into a crazy line, I was NY-116 ie the 116th person they saw in NY. Kim Klein auditioned (what name is she using now?) but she was VIP and sat in a warm Starbucks until her appointment while we suffered in the cold/rain. Grace Rivera, her fiancee Tony and I went together. I saw Jamie Reed and before I could say ‘Hi’ she was POOF gone.

After the physical assessment there is an interview. Mine went really well. The NBC guy told me that I kicked ass in the trials, and we chatted like old friends, it went easily and I was comfortable. He said that he really liked me and that even though I was short I’d make a good Gladiator and that he’d push for me when they discussed the candidates over the next few days.

The next step would be a second interview, and if that went well, LA. So basically, I’m just hoping for the phone to ring before Thursday and that my height won’t work against me too much. I’m pretty sure that if I was 5′8 I’d have this in the bag.

You would not believe the line. It literally circled the block and hit the start at one point. I took pictures.
