New Year, New Drama
Okay, so it has officially been 2005 for FOUR days, and all ready my inbox is clogged with Rocky Drama. It almost makes me glad that I haven't been able to go down to the show in a while, because as much as I've missed everyone, I'm so glad that I'm not privy to the latest cast director changes, arguments, attacks, ans what not. I do the show for fun. I go down, I put my best effort forward, and I have a good time while providing the same service for the audience. I THOUGHT that that was what the show was all about. Silly me, I forgot all about the politics behind the entire thing.
GRRR, it's very frustrating because these are (or were, not too many people seemed to care that I was sick) my friends, and I want to support them, but at the same time, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE DRAGGED INTO THIS!!!!!!! I am in no position of authority at the show, and I never wanted to be. Therefore, the authoritative and executive decisions should in no way shape or form be brought to my attention unless it dorectly involves me. That is what we call professionalism, kids. :-)
On a lighter note, one of my old teachers from AMDA (who unfortunately doesn't work there anymore) sent my name and info to this nationwide talent search called FashionRock. They are very interested in me coming down to Florida for three days and competing with 2,000 other people for some of the top names in the industry. The only problem is there is a $200 fee which covers hotel expenses, meals, press releases, and security. Basically, it's a convention fee, because this is a convention for casting directors, agents, modeling agency's, talent scouts, film and Broadway producers, and the guy who co-produces "Making the Band" with Puff Daddy. All I have to pay for is the convention fee and my airfare. Then, if I get any bookings, there's agency fee's, but che sera, right? Brent thinks I should go, but I'm not entirely sure because of the money thing. I mean, on one hand it's great exposure, and it will be on National Television. On the other, that's $200 (at least) less we're going to have this month. Can you really put a price on exposure?
Please, your comments and feedback on this one are VERY important. HELP!!!!!
