Boston Wheelmobile event 10/8 & 10/9

I heard it wasn't rained out, and I was as surprised as you probably are given how bad the weather was! A friend of mine went on Sunday and stood in the rain for 4 hours and didn't get picked!

I finally got a callback email!! Only took 3.5 months! Callback in 2 weeks in Boston!!

That's what I'm thinking! Thank you! Hopefully 5th time's a charm!!

Aw you're welcome!! I'll keep trying until I get that golden ticket!!

So, my callback audition in Boston is Thursday at 10AM, and we're supposed to get 8-12 inches of snow Wednesday night into Thursday. Anyone ever have them cancel or postpone a callback? I know they ask for your phone number so they can call if they have to cancel, but I'm wondering if cancel means cancel, or it means postpone/reschedule. Thanks for any help you seasoned vets can provide!! Also, if there's a different thread where I should ask this, please point me there. Thanks

OK thanks. Fingers crossed! I'm not sure at this point if I'd prefer the show (must) go on, or for it to be rescheduled... I was, of course, really looking forward to it, but if we DO get a ton of snow, I can't ask my kids' grandparents to come out in it to babysit and take my kids to school if they do have school, which was the plan... or if school is cancelled, ask them to stay home with my kids while a foot of snow falls between my house and theirs 25 miles away. Ugh the joys of parenting and show biz! Ha!

My audition went really well. Now to wait the two weeks...

true. we had 60 in our group to start, only 18-20 or so stayed after the puzzle test.When they had us panto spinning the wheel. i was doing it as if i were spinning a 2400 lb wheel. I had quite a few remarks from other auditioners that I should be on the show. I just hope I wowwed the CCs enough to make that a reality

It was my first callback audition (After almost 10 years trying when they'd come to the Boston area) The first time was 2007 or 2008 when they came to Suffolk Downs. My BF Lindsey and her friend Chris came with for the day. First round of auditions comes. Chris mentions to Lindsey and I that he doesn't really want to do the show, he's just there for me...but puts a card in anyway. Guess who's gets pulled? <Charlie O> CHRRRRRRIS TOBIN! </Charlie O> He did try and get me on stage instead but S&P is pretty picky. I went again in 2009 when they came to the Marlborough Mall on both days. Went thru all 6 audition periods, nothing. Then October 2016 comes. I planned on waking up around 830 so I could ,be into the city by 1030, find parking, etc. I overslept two hours. So I got my nicest clothes I could find..grab my car keys and go about 75 on rte 3 from Plymouth to Boston. I was fortunate that the first garage I found had parking. I head up to Faneuil Hall and slip my card in about 4 minutes before they cut off applications for the 1230pm event. (I put a $5,000 wedge sticker on the back from my 86 deluxe home game. Maybe it helped?) The same results unfortunately happened. My card remained unpicked from the Golden Drum of Destiny(TM) 130pm event comes and goes, no bacon. They gave the spiel that just because your name haddent been picked was not the end. They would choose more people back in LA to get a callback. A show of hands at the Wed. Audition showed that a LOT of people (myself included) were also LA selectees. A qualifier too..Columbus Day weekend when they came to Boston was a rainout on Sunday... From what I've found, they still held the event outside and set up tent areas for the crowd. I would imagine that not as many people went. I would have stayed for the 330 audition sat but had to be back to work on the cape by 4pm, and traffic was just light enough to get out of the city. I would have gone back Sunday too but I figured it was a rainout. Long story short I only needed two entries to get the callback this time.

As to wowing the CCs. I spoke with enthusiasm and clarity from the moment they were calling for our names to set up a seating chart. (One of the CC's commented positively as such) Teddy mentioned that from the moment you walked thru the doors into the room, the audition began at that moment. I did have to rein it in just a little bit but moderated well. I also made sure to call available duplicates in the puzzle before solving (Not leaving 5 S's kind of thing)
On the last puzzle of the "After test" mock game. I was in the middle of a puzzle, had the first and last words worked out but couldn't make it click (not a B&A either) so I reach down "Gonna have to spin one more time".....BANKRUPT "You did well ,you solved two puzzles already"

All said it was a great experience even getting to this point. Getting to play your favorite game with 59 other people has to count for something
