I got a chance to play at an open mic in Dallas, and a guy that casts for Disney was there. So here I was singing my heart out and playing the guitar when the mic started sliding down, so I kept going down with it. I couldn`t believe no one would come and help! By the end of the song I was almost to my knees. He loved it and couldn`t believe I didn`t freak out because of the mic. He took my info (I`m too young to be in a high school musical movie). :) We plan on attending lots of open mic nights this year.
