Brian, You should definitely try again. Sign up on the site if you want to go up to L.A. again, or wait for the bus to come around. Several of the people and my "audition" or try-out or whatever you want to callit came up from San Diego. I don't think there can be too many blind contestants--smile. It's good for the world to see that there's more than one who can compete--and I don't think they'd take you*jus* because you're blind, but one can never tell. He's the only one I've ever seen on the show, and I've seen two contestants who were in wheel chairs, I think, or had some physical condition where they had to sit. GO For it! And if one isn't chosen the first time, one can try again after a year.
