Bitch is Back: American Idol Auditions Kick Off in Daly City

Just as American Idol becomes less and less relevant (does anyone actually remember who won last season?), the show that launched a couple of semi-memorable careers comes to town. Daly City is the first stop on the AI audition train on July 17th, so if you've always fantasized about getting ripped a new one by Simon Cowell, now's your big chance. Details below the fold. --Janine Kahn
