I got back from Norfolk a few hours ago, the casting call was so much fun.
My family headed down from DC on Saturday afternoon and stayed in a hotel for the night, but when we got there, there were already people camping out in tents who said they'd been there since Friday! I decided I'd risk sleeping inside where it was warm and went to stand in line around 5 this morning. I ended up being 40th in line, and they let us go inside around 9 o'clock. By a little after 10 everyone had wristbands, and at 11 they started sending people up in groups of eight for the interviews.
The worst part of the day was probably the waiting before we went in for the group interviews. I hardly ever get nervous, but my stomach was tied into knots! The waiting definitely took a turn for the better when we had some special guests join us in line: Marty and Amy from season 3 came and joined us! I was absolutely ecstatic - Marty was my absolute favorite for the entire run of the show, and he's just as sweet in person as he is on TV. He ended up talking to my group for about 20 minutes, answering our questions about the show and just goofing around. Both he and Amy look REALLY good.
When they finally brought us in for the interviews, they sat eight of us around a table with one of the casting directors, who took our applications and asked us a few basic questions about ourselves. It was sweet and simple, and we were told that they'll be making calls tonight about callbacks. So I'm sitting here by the computer with my phone in hand, waiting. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
