"YAHOO!!" In more ways the one.

Well, my second week in the Land of Enchantment has come to a close. I guess I'm quite lucky that most of my closest friends from high school and college still live here. So they, along with my family, have managed to help me fill in a lot of my down time.

First things first, because of my knack of needing to do "something" all the time, I came across a notice for the 48 Hour Film Project on the NM Film Commission website on Monday. I'd missed the auditions, which took place the week before, but I decided to send over an e-mail anyway. Long story short, within minutes I got a call, and e-mail, from the producer saying that he would love it if I'd be a part of the project. Cool! We shoot it all day tomorrow (7/22). The city is making a big deal about this project, so it's bound to get tons of exposure. The first screening of the flim will happen early next week. If I can, I will attend the screening, and quite possibly one of the wrap parties. (Perfect Timing: My little brother pulled into town today, I told him I'm going to make him my "MANNY" for the duration of my trip...:)...Especially since he's already delved into my food stash, AND drank most of my daughter's juice boxes!) Anywho, I'll let you all know how things work out. Please pray that my group doesn't pull the WESTERN THEME, as the first question the producer asked me was if I'd ever ridden a horse before! I have, but not by myself. Yikes! Let's make a HORROR flick!

In other news, across the board it seems as if all of my fellow bloggers are kicking major butt back in Los Angeles! I am so proud of them all. Just click on any blog to the right, and you'll see exactly what I mean.

If you haven't already, pick up the latest issue of the Hollywood Reporter, the ad I'm a part of with my agency is on page 19! I thought we were going to be in the Variety, but that's just who we had to make the checks out to. Once I get back home, I will scan the ad, and post it. Unfortunately I couldn't track down a store that sells the paper out here, so I had to take my husband's word for it back home that everything looks good. My L.A. Agent insists that these ads always do wonders for the clients that participate, so I'm looking forward to a downpour of auditions when I get home!

I e-mailed the manager I'd auditioned for earlier this week asking if a decision had been made about me. Hmmm...no answer. I'm not going to dwell on it though. For now, I'll just chill where I am a bit longer.

Breakfast went great with my High School Drama Teacher on Wednesday. He looks the same, and he said I did also. Sure, Mr. Bower!...:)...We talked about the industry and what we'd been up to over the last 12 years, and I told him to be prepared to do my THS one day! We talked again about the Florida Thespian Festival in Tampa next Spring, and it looks like I'm thisclose to being added to the roster. Cool! All expenses paid. I have family in Tampa, and all over FL, so I would probably consider staying a few extra days for some R&R.

If you're in Los Angeles, and want the scoop, join my YAHOO! Group. For years now, I've forwarded notices that I get to friends and friends of friends, but a couple of months ago, the group grew beyond control, so I had to create a YAHOO! Group. Want to receive my notices? Join my group.
