So I've been reading about how badly Irene hit upstate New York, so I definitely want to plan an apple-picking/pumpkin-patching trip sometime soon, so we can give them our money! Gotta look after our agrarian brothers and sisters ( Read more... )

So the Friday morning commute from hell? Was apparently planned. Part of a planned, calculated middle finger to commuters, to punish us for what their crappy management is doing. If their aim is to underscore how worthless and without honor most TWU members are, and to get NYC commuters to side with MAT management, well then excellent job, me ( Read more... )

I've been at DeBaun the past couple of nights, busy with Christmas Carol auditions. There were many people who signed up for appointments and didn't bother to cancel which irritates me VERY MUCH. Extremely unprofessional, people. What was even weirder, our monitor came in last night toward the end and asked if we could see a couple of walk-ins ( Read more... )

Dave Zimmerman recommended me for a staged-reading directing gig at _gaia, that women's center/studio thing (not exactly sure what it is) in Hoboken near Doug's old apartment--Stacy did a lot of stuff there. The woman who's running it is going to call me on Saturday to discuss details--I'll be at the RenFaire all that day so thank God for cell ( Read more... )

Yes, it's getting hot out there. No, I will not take off all my clothes ( Read more... )

I also had an audition today for a film--Electric Talent, the agency with whom I've been freelancing, called me in for it. I read for the role of the European au pair--they said I could use any European accent, although I think they wanted her to be Scandinavian. I did a Russian accent. After that I went down to the Lower East Side to meet with ( Read more... )

Okay, long story ( Read more... )

I got a call yesterday from an agency with whom I freelance, and they'd scheduled an audition for me that day, yesterday. By the time I got the message, the scheduled time had passed--I called them and they said to show up anyway and blame them (the agency). I've never done an audition on such short notice and I almost said no, but went anyway, ( Read more... )

Can anyone recommend a place that sells karaoke tapes/CDs--i.e., recorded accompaniment, without vocals--besides Colony Records which is hideously expensive? I have an audition upcoming for which I must bring my own accompaniment. In Manhattan would be ideal.

My late afternoon audition Saturday was fun. It's for a student film (I think) about a guy who's a total horn dog, who literally ends up sprouting a horn on his forehead and acting like a sex-crazed zombie. I was auditioning for the role of one of his victims. I read two scenes, and had a blast with the second one. In it, I was supposed to have ( Read more... )
