On with the dewimpification. Yup, just like Deepal and George W., I'm starting to coin my own words. Absolutely on a whim, I auditioned for Talisman. I don't have much relevant background, I did awfully on the short solo, and it was just for the experience anyway. Auditions for vocal groups here are the polar opposite of the sterile, blind Region and All-State auditions. I got to the audition room five minutes early, was given an extensive personal info sheet ranging from the requisite musical background stuff to Fight Club trivia. Naturally, I hadn't seen it, so I just indicated that I was culturally inept and left it at that. So, one of the members reads your list like an overexcited emcee, ushers you into the room where the entire group enthusiastically cheers and claps and roots for you, and they only get nicer from there. Callback lists are posted on Friday, I believe, so I'll wait til then to confirm my negative (but not disappointedly so) guess. It's so far out of my league that I'm not depending on it at all.

I should get a head start on some reading like the industrious, overanxious little frosh I am. Goodnight!
