The audition

Despite misgivings on both our parts, we decided to let Derrick earn his way back to trying the audition thing this afternoon. Tara had him do math problems on the way to church and after we left. So we ended up driving to Kerney Mesa and joined a huge crowd of other kids and parents who had similarly been scouted or otherwise recruited for this event.

( How things went )

Since we were already in Kerney Mesa, we decided to take a side trip and browse at Mysterious Galaxy (the independent SF and Mystery bookstore in San Diego) and The Games Empire practically next door. robot_grrl and I enjoyed browsing (but Tara did pick up a book) and both stores. Afterwards we headed back to Oceanside and home.
