SHANE SPARKS!?

Holy HELL. 
So here I am in Chicago– I auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance this morning.  I took a taxi to get in line at 4:30 in the morning.  It was a good 10 degree windchill or something psycho and we didn’t get in until after EIGHT.  I was pretty damn frozen… A friend I’d met the day before brought me some hot chocolate though, which was good because it warmed me up enough to keep me going. 

The first cut was straight up improv in front of an executive producer and SHANE SPARKS.
Now, I have TWO idols.  The first is Wade Robson whom I would DIE if I saw.  Shane Sparks is right underneath him.

Mr.  Shane walked in and I almost formed a little puddle on the floor. 
That man is BEAUTIFUL and he has more talent than five of me put together. 

Pic of Mr.  Shane so you can enjoy his gorgeousness too:

By the way, there was probably about 600 dancers or "dancers" if not 700.

Oh, you wanna know how I did?

I MADE THE FIRST CUT!!  

WOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 

(FAKE-ASS) WARNING::  Exclusive details:
Each person in a group of 10 improvised for 20-30 seconds.  They let me go longer than most- I don’t think Shane and Mr. Executive Producer were sure what to do with me.  Which is precisely what I figured.  : /  Plus, I’d freaked myself out so much over Shane Sparks that my style was TOTALLY wild.  Out of the 10 dancers in my group, I was one of 2 (another homie) that was chosen to move on to the next round- although the two judges made TONS of deliberation.  It was REALLY worrying there for a second. 

I have my chance… now I gotta take it and run with it.
I got my second chance and I think my hero Shane Sparks pulled a string to get me into this next cut (which is another improv).

I have to prove myself worthy…
And by the way, I got tons of camera time- you should see me on tv being a weirdo  with one of my newfound friends, lol. 

One of them got out of the audition room (he was the best popper I have ever seen- absolutely incredible- and he told me, "You killed it.  I have NEVER seen a female do what you just did."
I was almost too busy shaking and squealing on the floor and filling out oodles of paperwork to say anything but I did.  And we made friends. 

This has been a great experience!

Day #2 is tomorrow and I have to be ready to go at 0800 in the morning.  Considering I woke up at 0245 this morning, I’m guessing I should go to sleep soon even though it is only 1519.

Peace and health.
