Schaumburg, IL
My friend Mark is sitting at this moment over at Medieval Times, Schaumburg, waiting to take qualifying tests. I guess they picked it because it’s a large, arena-like area that’s already easily split up into sections by color, but there’s no denying that it’s a faux castle that smells of horsies and roast chicken. It’s kind of… un-glamorous as a location for television auditions.
He thought he’d be in the parking lot all day, but it sounded like he was indoors.
He’s got a book, a chair, and a cell phone, and he’ll be moved around for a while today before finding out whether he gets to go to the next level or not. I’m wishing him luck; he tried out for Jeopardy once and blew the question about Apollo 11: who on that mission DIDN’T walk on the Moon?
As soon as he told me this, I said “Michael Collins.” Because I’m weird like that.
Anyway, good luck, Mark, and have fun storming the castle.
