I woke up yesterday totally sick. Cecilie was sick with some kind of head cold last week and I think she gave it to me. In any case, I was totally miserable and pounding Zicam like it was my job, because yesterday I had a business meeting in the city with the producer of the show I'm doing off-off-Broadway. He wanted to show me the space and answer any of my questions before we shake hands on the deal.
Well, I arrive at the theater to find him waiting outside - apparently, there was a matinee performance going on and we couldn't go in and look around. Annoying, but we couldn't do anything about that. I was ready to tell him good-bye and walk back to Times Square, until he asked me out to lunch. And, well, I hadn't eaten anything, and I really wanted to have a cup of tea...so I said sure, okay. We went to this cute French/American place and I had a to-DIE-for omelet. The conversation really started going, and then all of a sudden our business lunch became a full-day romp around New York City and Brooklyn. It was so much fun!
While we were out, I got an email. Yesterday morning I'd emailed the two major MEs in the city, and one of them emailed me back and offered me a load-in gig on Wednesday. I'm so excited about it - I'm a bit of a work junkie like that.
Anyway. So. I'm the kind of person who responds to intriguing ads on craigslist, like this one. I kind of responded to it facetiously, because Wilhelmina is a huge and very well-renowned modeling agency. I sent them all the necessary information, a headshot (my FB profile picture), and a full-length shot (which I took with my iPhone, using my mirror). I figured I'd never hear back from them, because the volume of responses they get is, assuredly, enormous.
Well, today, I received an email from one of their talent scouts, inviting me to their casting call this Sunday. Which I'm TOTALLY GOING TO. I mean, I doubt I'll get picked for representation, but what a cool and random opportunity. It's in Pennsylvania, though, so I'd have to drive out there. But hey, so far, I don't have any plans for Sunday. Why not go to a casting call in Pennsylvania?
