Day 101 VLOG CLICK HERE!
An actor I met at Actorwest is doing a daily blog in their pursuit of the dream. Check it out www.thedailyactor.com. I could take some notes from this website.
Got a forwarded email from a friend I did a kickstarted video for about an audition for a short film. Contacted the writer and she said I might be a little old for it but I said Ill read anyway and we'll go from there.
And more rehearsal every second I get. It really is true. Once you know it, you can hold onto your part much easier.
Until tomorrow!

Day 101 - Morning Rehearsal, M.I.A CD Workshop and Evening Rehearsal
Day 101 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Woke up and grabbed my Forever Plaid book. I didnt even really have to move because I had fallen asleep with it in my hand. Went over everything and started to learn the book too. Sent an email to the musical director just checking and to ask a question to which I already knew the answer. "How much you do want off book?" Everything of course!!
Went to a workshop for an unnamed casting director as I don't want them to be perceived a flake. If they say he 405 had them trapped I choose to believe. They just have to call me in for making me wait for an hour before canceling. It did give me a chance to chat with some of the fellow actors there. We even had a group discussion about The Hunger Games which Im anxious to finish! One person even spilled the beans about a breakup. I hope they are okay tonight.
And AILEEN ROCKS!!
Since I had extra time it was again devoted to Forever Plaid. I knocked out Moments to Remember and Crazy Bout Ya Baby. I'm really starting to dig this score!

Day 100 - Lighting Kit, FedEx Kinko's and Rehearsal
Day 100 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Bought a lighting on Amazon today with 3 softboxes, a crane and a bag. Should be adequate for our needs at the moment with the skits and blogs.
Took me three hours to put together the Forever Plaid book and score online for Kinkos! 3 hours! I hate their website right now. But I got it done and now I have two easy to read books that can deface to my hearts content.
Also gave myself a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal tonight. I went through the opening number, 3 Coins in a Fountain and Gotta This or That/Undecided. Hopefully it will seep in my brain while I sleep.

Day 99 - Easter Double Booking, 3 Coins in a Fountain and The Blue Ranger
Day 99 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Party Creations accidentally booked two people on the same gig this morning. I was kind of relieved to tell you the truth. I gladly let the other performer take it so I could return home to have Easter brunch with Rachel, Wesam and Kanae.
It also gave me time to start working on Forever Plaid. This is going to be harder than I thought. Much harder.
I also did a birthday party on Easter. The parents had rented a video game wagon. Essentially it opens up and has 3 flat screen TV's with a different video game console hooked up to each. I was fine with this arrangement because it meant I only the attention of about 6 kids. Piece of cake. Happy Chocolate Bunny Zombie Jesus Day!

Day 98 - I'm Batman, Joseph Wisniewski and Complex Comedy 6th Anniversary
Day 98 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Did a Batman birthday party for Party Creations today. The boys name was Beckett. Sweet kid and he loves Batman!!
Ran a workshop for Joseph Wisnieski Casting Director of Easy A, Accidentally on Purpose and the pilot The Wedding Band. He seemed genuinely pleased with my talent but not necessarily my choice of scene. I did a piece from the 4th season of Seinfeld and I agree, it wasn't a bad choice, just not the best.
And Complex Comedy had their 6th anniversary show tonight. All the roommates, several friends were in attendance and I felt it was a very strong show. I'm so glad everyone came because it may be a time before we have another. Sign Language was particularly strong. Check out an old episode.
Sign Language.

Day 96 - Roommate Brainstorm, Paul Webber Workshop and American Reunion
Day 96 VLOG CLICK HERE!
Roommates had a brainstorming session today about what we can shoot. We have ideas, cameras and passion which is a good start. We came up with a list of contacts, scripts and equipment needed. We are on our way.
Ran a workshop for Paul Webber, the Director of Casting for MGM. He's very personable and kind with his feedback. Some people were very green and suggested class instead workshops for the time being. He's a great guy.
Went to the 12:01am showing of American Reunion. I saw it with Rachel and a friend from high school David Thomas (Wilder). I saw the original film with David back in 1999. It was a sweet and nostalgic return. Full circle. Anyone who is a fan of the original 3 will love this true reunion of colorful characters.
