the unexpected journey

/ the wannabe elf and hobbit /

last weekend jan and i went on our own unexpected journey to audition as extras for the hobbit. as chris dropped us off, we must have been a funny looking pair as he said we got several giggles from the long waiting line. but what we thought was a long line was nothing in comparison to what it became. we arrived about an hour and a half before the auditions were due to begin and we were about 200 people back but an estimated 3000 people that showed up, so much that the police had to shut the auditions down because of the traffic disruption! it was starting to get a bit mad when we left, but this video is insane in comparison to what we saw. keep your fingers crossed that we get callbacks soon :)
