Today from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the DoubleTree Guest Suites on 15th Street, the CW's "Beauty and the Geek" will hold an open casting call. They are looking for, you guessed it, beauties and geeks. So geeks, here are a few reasons why you should audition:

1. You missed the filming of

VH-1's "The Pick-Up Artist" in Austin, so some guy named Kosmo won instead of you.

2. No one watches the CW - yet! If you are selected as one of the geeks on this season of "Beauty and the Geek," at least your friends and family will tune into the network home of "Farmer Wants a Wife" and "Aliens in America."

3. Thanks to the writers' strike, reality television will rule the airwaves in the spring. With no "Grey's Anatomy" or "The Office" competing with shows like "Beauty and the Geek," tabloids would be forced to crown you the next McDreamy or Jim Halpert (probably Jim Halpert).

4. Free haircut!

5. You could win $250,000, which could buy you all sorts of geeky toys (custom Guitar Hero controllers, "Battlestar Galactica" DVDs, 20-sided die, etc.).
