How Do American Idol Auditions Work
First, please understand what I learned about American Idol. It is not a singing contest--it is a reality tv show. Talent and look are only 10%. The other 90% that you can't control is what Fox has in store for the show that season. No matter how amazing you might or might not be, if you're not what they are looking for--you're out. Go for the audition itself and a shot at being on tv... not to become the next American Idol. Simply have fun with the whole experience.
How Do You Get Away With Looking Like That?
My first job was to pass out appetizers--pork/sausage stuffed mushrooms and fried mozzarella balls. I was starving come 7pm because I arrived way too early to the event and ate way too early of a lunch that day. I immediately figured out that I could eat one appetizer off each tray before leaving the kitchen and space the rest of them out so no-one would notice. I started working very quickly, hurrying in and out of the kitchen and dispersing my appetizers so I could run back for more.

I read Jesus CEO yesterday and learned a few things about leadership from the noble style of Jesus.
Where is the Pawn Stars store?
My plan was to try and sell a signed Adventure Paul photo to the Pawn Stars. Just like every other customer who are interviewed outside the pawn shop, I was going to say, "I aint taking a penny less than $8,000!" Then, like most of them, I'd accept next to nothing.
The Case of the Missing Pebbles
When we first arrived at Avalon Apartments--a lady walked up to us and asked if we had seen her dog, a small gray York-terrier named Pebbles. I said, "Don't worry ma'am. We'll find your dog--just as soon as we finish this first mystery." The next mystery begins immediately with The Case of the Missing Pebbles. "Peeeeeeebbles! Peeeeeebbbblllleeeess? Pebbles?"

You Have the Right to Remain Awesome
The handcuffs are starting to irritate my smooth olive skin. In my head I question "why the dramatics" of what we figured was a routine stop. Cody and I are told to sit on the ground, handcuffed, while police officers search Brandon's car. Next they come back and search each of us. The problem with a one-horse-town like Monroe NC is that sometimes the cops need new tail to chase if it's 3am and that one horse is sleeping (standing up, by the way.)
A History and Tour of the Mustang Ranch outside Reno NV
I took a tour of the World Famous Mustang Ranch, a historical brothel outside of Reno NV. Originally called Mustang Bridge Ranch, the brothel opened its doors in 1951, making it the oldest legal brothel in America. Prostitution, however, did not become legal until 1971 when the ranch's second and most famous owner, Joe Conforte, successfully changed laws in Storey County. The rumor is that Conforte built political influence by renting out cheap trailers on his land and telling the tenants how to vote.
A Ghost Story in Bakers California
We walk inside an empty restaurant--there is one waitress and one cook who are talking by the register. The waitress greets us warmly and shows us to a table. Cory and I both order raspberry iced tea to drink and I forget what to eat. Knowing me it was probably a Moons over My Hammy. The meal is fine--nothing abnormal--the waitress is friendly and fills our Nalgene bottles with raspberry iced tea for the road. I wait at the table looking over a map while Cory goes to the bathroom. While he's gone, I have a horrible vivid day-dream. The ...
