Apparently word has gotten out about how much talent is all up in the South Puget Sound. Rumor has it we have great live music, talented performers, and one helluva attitude to back it up. As I walk down the street, I see talent gushing out of every open crack in the pavement. Now THAT’S a lot of talent.

 

Brrrr! I just got the shivers thinking about all the local talent we have. Either that or I’m about to sneeze again. Damn allergies.

 

NBC’s #1 (or so they say) show is coming to Tacoma. All the talent you could possibly imagine will be revealed upon the arrival of America’s Got Talent to the Tacoma Convention Center this weekend. Think you’ve got what it takes to impress the likes of celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Sharon Osbourne, and Piers Morgan, and Nick Cannon? Then now is your time to let your star shine.

 

This Saturday and Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. each day, preliminary screenings will begin at the aforementioned Tacoma Convention Center for those who believe that they are the next talented coming of Christ. That is, if Christ was a superstar. Of course, all the lame freaks and delusional geeks will be weeded out, with the likely possibility of a few being passed through just for laughs. I can only assume a couple of losers will make the screening, because who doesn’t like to watch a social train wreck from the comfort of their home television set? Maybe Tacoma holds the one person who will take this competition all the way to the top. Who knows?

 

What I do know for certain is that 120 talented individuals who have first printed a screening application will make it past the April 25-26 preliminary round, and will hopefully demonstrate the ability to not pee their pants at the sight of international singing sensation and former Knight Rider, David Hasselhoff, April 29 at the show’s LIVE AUDIENCE taping.

 

Yes, you read correctly: I said LIVE AUDIENCE taping. You didn’t think they’d forget the rest of Tacoma, did you? The fine people of America’s Got Talent have prepared something to help the rest of us less-talented saps to be a part of this grandeur production.

 

To be a part of the America’s Got Talent LIVE AUDIENCE taping that will be held at 1 and 6 p.m., April 29 at Broadway Center’s Pantages Theater, you may request your free tickets here.

 

I just hope The Hoff has lifted his restraining order against me. I don’t need that kind of trouble … or do I? Heheheh.
