Maybe just a typo? Even an ordinary Sunday would seem unlikely.

Sigh. I don't know why this extremely non-objectionable post has the most doubters of any post I've made on jboard. A reply in the thread linked above says that someone else has an audition on May 13th in Atlanta. Check it out

I'm sorry if you wanted an audition in Atlanta and didn't get it, but that doesn't mean these posts are lying.

I think the only question was May 15 vs. May 13. The answer is, as usual, that it can be two things.

I got two auditions in recent years, after online scores in the 35-40 range... This year was my best test ever, with all those older literature questions and very little "pop" stuff -- I think I got 47 -- but no audition.

If I chose Philly but they're not going there, could that be a factor? Or might they still possibly offer, say, NYC?

I'm waiting on Cleveland as well. Have they ever just skipped an audition city before?

Yeah I'm almost positive they skipped the NC audition city last round (can't remember if it was Charlotte or Raleigh...)

They skipped Raleigh from two rounds ago (was it two rounds or three...I think two), they did go to Charlotte last round.

I can confirm that a time when WOF went to NYC, they did pull people from the Philly market. This doesn't mean J! will as well, but does open the possibility to J! skipping a city while pulling names from a nearby city.

I remember. I had selected Raleigh as my city that year. Sure hope they don't skip Memphis this time around!

Was choosing a preferred audition city mandatory when registering? I don't recall.

Count me among the Cleveland hopefuls as well! If I am invited, it would be really interesting to see the other Cleveland auditioners from jboard.

There was something weird about the audition city selection this go-round, but it was there

It wasn't originally. I had to go back in and make a choice.
