Once they started I was out in half an hour. If you get there during the day I'd say you'll be waiting at least an hour, maybe more.

I love the detail and now, even though I haven't watched a minute of the show, I still would love to spend the afternoon with Das. You were so smart to get in touch with him and pick up a few tips. <br /><br />Good luck with your audition!robynskihttp://earthboundchronicles.comnoreply@blogger.com
