Life is for the living

Arrived in NYC safe and exhausted 7:45 am (EST) Monday morning. Napped. Met up with Missoula Touring friends for lunch. And shopped at Kmart.

Only in New York have I finally begun to appreciate the idea of "one stop shopping". Three things I can no longer imagine life without- Googlemaps, Cell Phones, and Superstores. How ever did people survive?

Trying to get the idea into my head that I am living here, not vacationing. That this life long dream/idea/fantasy is actually happening. Right now.

Totally unprepared. Where was the catering 101 class in college for the acting program?

I have my first audition tomorrow for a straight (well actually... gay) play. It was that or an union audition for The Addams Family musical workshop- of which since I'm not union, I would probably have to sit around all day for chance to be seen, which isn't even guaranteed. At least with "Loaded", as it's called, I have an appointment and set time.

Audition time 10:15 tomorrow morning. It is now 1:35 am. And I have just realized that my headshot is smaller than my resume... and there is no paper cutter insight. Tried scissors and then printer- neither one was pretty.

So it looks like a trip to Staples is imminent tomorrow prior to the audition.

Suddenly NY feels real.

In closing some words of wisdom from the crazy lady in a giant red coat on the subway talking straight at me.

"Now is Now. Tomorrow is not Now. I am now."

Followed by:

"God is good. Keep him. Jesus is good. Keep him."

Wonderful. Share/Save/Bookmark
