OKLAHOMA IS OK.....American Idol

So my American Idol adventure started about two days before 7/20/2012. I went to Bricktown and got my green bracelet that says "hey you have a seat in the auditorium and you can audition" or that may have been what the ticket said, whatever. So Wayne drove us to Bricktown and we got my bracelet, ticket, and a very pretentious information sheet you had to fill out and hand to the producer when you try out (one of the questions on there was are you related to or know anyone who is famous, should this matter), so at this time the only people who knew I was trying out was- Mom, Dad, A-ry-a, Brother, and a few people from work. I really didn't want a lot of people to know because:
A) That's a lot of pressure and
B) If you don't make it then you probably aren't that great.
So I stayed the night at my sister-in-laws and my brothers apartment because we rode together. A-ry-a and I stayed up til about 1am because we had to be back to the Energy Arena by like 6am or something. So we had to leave by like 4:30am to be there on time and I remember her saying something about the REM cycle and it would be easier to get up (yeah I slept through my alarm that morning)
Anyways we make it there a little before 6am and already there are thousands of people there standing in the streets that are blocked off in sections. We were standing about maybe 6 rows back from the cameras in the middle of the two joining streets next to the caution tape.
When the sun starts coming up a bit one of the producers comes out and tells us that we are going to do some crowd shouts coming in and out of commercial breaks. We had to do things like: sing our state song (which we were horrible at, when we got in the arena they had to play it for us so we could all catch the tune, whop whop wampum), we said things like Oklahoma is OK!!! Which A-ry-a killed me because we were burning up so she and I came up with other things Oklahoma was. For example:
Oklahoma is hot as Hell
Oklahoma is Alright ( I mean Oklahoma is ok we weren't aiming ourselves very high now were we)
But anywho next thing we knew they were telling us Ryan was going to come out. I don't know if you have every heard 10,000 people sigh at the same time it's pretty crazy. Crazy hilarious.
Well they bring him out and he does his whole "I'm Ryan Seacrest and I have tons of charisma " thing. He is kind of awesome. A-ry-a wants his haircut. I will admit he has good hair.
I will post pictures.

After he does his thing they send him away (sad face I know)
Then they tell us we are going to enter the Arena one section at a time. Now I'm on the phone with my mom at this point and I grab on to A-ry-a and tell her to just move we when they go. Well all of sudden caution tape is being snapped and producers are yelling at us with the megaphones and I'm left confused because I was not paying attention. Little secret A-ry-a totally snapped the caution tape. She said "Here let me take care of that" and just pinched that right in half.
Well I will say we were some of the very first to make it in the Arena.....


I will post more later....

Enjoy the show tonight!! I think they are starting with New York or something like that.........
