American Idol, Take Two

I know that many of you have been waiting patiently for an update on Phillip's aspirations to share his God-given talent with the world by way of auditioning for this season's American Idol. As you may recall, the Memphis auditions were cancelled, and we have been faithfully watching the web site in hopes that FOX would soon name a replacement audition city.

And so, they have. Tomorrow night, we leave for Greensboro, North Carolina for the Monday auditions. I can not believe that we are actually going. Seven and a half hours away. I suppose we still have a little Teeneger left in us after all.

Tonight, we went to Cool Springs Mall, and the nice (and I mean super-dooper, incredibly helpful, really accomodating to two crazy parents with a tired child NICE) people at Buckle dressed my handsome husband from head to toe. We only went in for a shirt, but seeing as how they had dressed Bo Bice and Kenny Chesney earlier in the day, we figured perhaps we'd get in on the action too and instead left with 2 shirts, a pair of jeans, and the coolest shoes I have ever seen. Phillip is going to look Hott. Yes, I mean Hott. (I'll take a picture, don't worry...)

And in case you've heard about it, and want to see it (or if you are Grandma Duncan and are concerned about it) here's a picture of Phillip's new fauxhawk, created by Miss Eve. It's trendy, yet subtle. See, nothing to worry about. Don't fear the fauxhawk!

I'll try and blog while we're in Greensboro to keep you all updated. Please say a prayer for us - for safety, for good health, and for a successful audition, whatever the Good Lord decides that should mean!

Duncan, OUT.
