The Bay Area Catches American Idol Fever - Tryouts Today
Thursday, July 17th, 2008It’s on! Thousands of Bay Areans are down at the Cow Palace in Daly City trying to qualify for American Idol.
This is what it looks like when American Idol comes to town and they let people sleep in line at the Palace. However, the cold night air of Daly City can’t be good for your singing voice. So this year, it’s all about wristbands.

Smart contestants already have a guaranteed slot, having cleared one hurdle by singing at Skip’s Music in Elk Grove, CA.
There is some controvesy this year concerning the writers for the show. You’d think American Idol wouldn’t require writers, but they do, apparently. Oh well. San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty and Senator Carole Migden have worked on these issues lately.
Good Luck contestants!
