Attention sock puppeteers, ukelele enthusiasts and those capable of gurgling out the entire alphabet in a single belch: America’s Got Talent is holding auditions in San Antonio.

NBC’s venerable televised talent search show (has it found any yet?) is scouting contestants for its 14th season and will stop by Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center on Friday, Jan. 11. Doors will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For info on how to sign up, where to park and all the other dirty details, AGT has set up a San Antonio-specific audition page. Looks like you’ll also need to have a photo ID handy, so start asking to borrow your older sister’s driver’s license now.

Good luck. Just don’t blame us if Mel B humiliates you on national television.
