Anticipation

You know that feeling.  It's a flutter in your chest and a swirl in your stomach. It's a catch in your breath with sweat on your hands. In two days I enter into showdown in Brooklyn.  I'm a contestant in Brooklyn's X Factor at Milk River restaurant and lounge.  Last week the place was so packed that people were turned away at the door.  A few days ago the producer of the show called me and asked for a guest list of 10 or a $99 entry fee. Who does that last minute?  I was excited up till then I don't know if I can get 10 people but I'll try. I certainly don't have an extra $99 laying around.  April will be the first time I'm paying rent and I'm strapped for cash. He told me to do the best I could with the guest list and not to worry  but Idk.  I'm worried. None of this information was given to me last month or at any time before now. Makes me wonder if this is all being made up as they go along.  There are a few celebrity judges and now they are adding a crowd participation part. It's happening on Tuesday night with a sound. check on Monday.  I decided to break out Kelly Price's song Tired.  Haven't done that in a while.I hope the background singers know it.
