Day 136 VLOG CLICK HERE!
So I will not be performing in Avenue Q this summer as I tanked my audition. I mean Titanic tanked. I hit an off key iceberg right at the beginning. Tried restarting the engines several times and kept hitting it. I slowly sank as the song progressed and when it ended, the panel of judges looked at me and silently thought "Where are the lifeboats?" I then pulled out my metaphoric violin and, along with the piano player, played a slow and torrid melody as Trekkie monster as the bow rose into the air. "Well we have your headshot and resume and we'll call if we need anything else." SNAP! I broke in half leaving one part in the room and the rest slammed back into the reality and I walked into the waiting room and planted on the couch. Like a lone survivor, I sat there and slowly froze to death as I recalled what had just transpired. I saw a fellow musical theater performer and we chatted until she went into the room. "Is Travis Dixon still here?" I hear the room monitor ask. I say "Yes" and he looks at me and responds with "You know you're done right?" Yes. I know I'm done. And I know you're done with me. Forever. I slipped out of my life jacket and sunk to the bottom of the icy Pacific aka La Mirada theater scene. R.I.P Travis Dixon 5-15-12.
After gaining a second life, I did some email/Internet correspondence boring stuff. And found out I have a callback for tomorrow for that thing I auditioned for on Monday that I thought auditioned tomorrow. Good think I asked off for work after all.
Until tomorrow!
