Today's the departure day...heading to Chicago this evening with two of my bffs. We'll get up nice and early tomorrow (Saturday) to go wait in the registration line, hopefully getting through in a decent amount of time to still go sight-seeing and shopping.  Or at least just eat some yummy Chicago food!

For those of you wondering what I am planning to sing, I have narrowed it down to these selections.  Feel free to give me your input!

"Magic Man" by Heart
"You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" by Dusty Springfield
"Yesterday" by Paul McCartney/Beatles
"Never Stop Falling in Love" by Pink Martini
"Loved by You (Cowboy Waltz)" by Jewel
"This Masquerade" by The Carpenters

And for those of you wondering what the audition process will be like, your guess is as good as mine!  Here's a link to the FAQs:

Now you know as much as I do...

Better continue packing now.  Thanks for all your words of encouragement so far.  It really does keep me going!

Love, Di
