Long Line Around BAM?

This morning we spotted this long line of twenty-somethings snaking up Fulton, around onto Ashland towards BAM; a friend told us that he saw people in tents last night in front of Mark Morris. What's going on? American Idol auditions?

By the looks of some of those hats and pants it looks like its somekind of hipster makeover show they are auditioning for.

Perhaps it is one of those cheese lines we've been promised.

I saw that this morning around 7:30. There were camera crews filming the line and people were dancing. My guess was an audition for 'So You Think You Can Dance'

Soup line

I saw 2 tents set up right outside the door of the center last night. People actually camped out for this show. It's amazing because what exactly do you win? At least other shows like Idol give you record contracts.

You win the title of, "Douche that can dance"

Posted by: Xander Crews at November 13, 2008 3:50 PM

Remixxd is right. Only the shows that give a longer term contract or job actually do anything for the winner. HGTV's Design Star winners get a real career out of it because they win their very own show on the network. Which are turning out to be good shows. Top Model is a joke, none of those girls become models much less top models. I love Project Runway, but it doesn't do a thing for the winners.

Among other things, the winner of Project Runway gets $100,000. I read a New York Magazine article about Jeffrey Sebelia, in which they were trying to say the same thing- that winning the show didn't really get him anywhere. But they did say that he paid off the debt he had incurred in launching his business. So that's something!

I own a small design business myself. I know that if I won $100,000 that would be huge. Yes, it's up to the designer to do what he/she can with the leads and money they win. But to say that it does nothing for their career?

Ah - thanks for solving this mystery, makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, their sporadic and wild cheering woke me up this morning! Thanks guys!

It must be to preview/prebuy a new condo development. Oh wait......no.
