What I do when I get a call about an audition is invite the person to one of my house gigs. I pick up the tab for them (usually, it's part of a trade with the establishment). I figure, if they don't want to take the time to come to me at a regular gig, I don't really want to work for them. Usually, the caller is representing an entertainment committee of some kind and I really don't have the time for that silliness.

The last audition I went to was in 1973. It was for Steak and Ale, and I worked for them for 5 years, so the trip to Louisville (80 miles) was well worth it.
