“On a jinxed Greyhound bus bound for Las Vegas, Mirna Zapata questioned whether her artistic success was meant to be.

For one thing, the bus broke down twice, at one point stranding her for eight hours - meaning she might miss the registration for the U.S.A. World Showcase singing competition.

Beyond that, she had received donations to enter the competition (where she could win $100,000), and she was worried that her generous donors would think she ran off with the money.”*
