“Idol” wants to start on time so they are already letting people into the Georgia Dome at 5 a.m. A couple of thousands folks who got here really early were funneled to a plaza area by the Georgia Dome for “establishing shots,” in which Ryan Seacrest will introduce everybody with the big crowd behind him. Yes, hometown boy Ryan ended up coming after all. (I saw him on “Larry King Live” last night in New York talking about Merv Griffin so he must have flown in overnight.) It’s still dark so this shot won’t be taken until after 7.
A few hopefuls are actually sleeping on the concrete. Some are prepping songs on their iPods. Most are just hanging out, people watching, casing the competition, shooting the breeze. It appears some people did show up many many hours ago even thoughit really didn’t matter. People already have reserved spots inside.
Logistically, by having 80% of the people in the building by 8:30 a.m., they should be able to start auditions in time, which is no later than 10 a.m.

It don't hurt to wish Luvs.....carzies make money on TV though.....I wish my son's baby's mama was gonna audition again, but she got so disenchanted from doing it last year she ain't mentioned it.
LOL at RC!! I still love ya at 50! I wasn't as focused on the blog yesterday because I was dealing with the first day of school, but today, you get all of my attention :-)
I hope we make in front of the judges. Jex has this spinning thing she does and then she says "thank you very much" and we both take a bow at the end. It's too cute! I hope you guys get to see it in January.
I tell ya what, y'all get a table, and I will show my broke azz up and sit at y'all table. After buying $300 worth of books for my 3 year old for school, my pocket book ain't hittin' on nothing today.
