Cattle Call

This Saturday morning, got up friggin' early at 6:30am to trek to Manhattan for the Attack of the Show co-host casting call. AOTS is a technology lifestyle daily show on the G4 network.
Just got back from standing in line for 4 hours in the sun, where it was hotter that satan's armpit.
Now it's shower time...
Check out these pics:


This is the line at 8:00am, 3 hours before it starts.


2 hours later, it's 90 degrees out and we're all baking. Not fit for anyone sane to stand around in this heat.


They start interviewing random people: "Tell me why you are the geekiest dude here."


The line was down the block and wrapped around 7th avenue.


This guy had a trash can on his back, what a hook...


Even after getting inside, out of the sun, there was another line, and NO air conditioning in the hallway.


At the end of the the line, we were lead into a studio three at a time, told to stand in front of a camera, and read 3 lines.
They were:
"Hey, we all make questionable E-Bay purchases. I mean, I still don't have any idea what I'm going to do with that damn hitler skunk. Man, I have got to lay off the bourbon."

After 6 long hours, listening to geek banter around me, intense sun and heat; it all came down to less than 30 seconds to make an impression on the casting crew. I stood on my mark, quickly reviewed the feed, and said my lines. Gave my best shot, but I understand that it's a tough decision to make. Looking at over 500 guys and pick one to go on and co-host a cable TV show, is not an easy task.
Let's hope for a call-back.
