Today I had an audition at 10am for LG electronics, it went well. However, the fact that I was able to make the audition today means one thing....I was not at CSI: NY shooting! Yes, sad, but true. I called my agent yesterday afternoon, they told me they'd check into it and call me back but I never heard back (what, me not hear from my agents? Shocking!). I think it’s safe to assume that I didn't book. BUT, the good news is that the director and creator like me enough for me to be in the top 3, which is pretty cool...not as cool as booking....but still very cool nonetheless, I'm sure I'll be back in that office soon!

I attended an "industry" party tonight with a friend of mine. At first I was kinda hesitant about going, but it ended up being a pretty cool time. In fact, at one point during the evening, this woman came up to me and asked me if I was an actress because I looked very familiar. I told her that I didn't think we'd met and she asked if I had a national running right now (hmmm...I'm guessing she saw my fff episode, but I don't really feel like getting into that at the moment) "No", I reply. Anyway, she asks me if I have a reel (wow, I can actually say Yes to this question now...well, kinda) she tells me that she works at Johanna Ray Casting and that they're casting a feature and asks if I can send her my materials next week. Ummmm....YEAH! She was a really cool girl...she talked a bit about how the CD was really working to have a diverse cast and how they had to kind of bring the producers around to the notion... That's cool, I'm glad someone is having that conversation, though I'm sure the diversity initiatives (tax breaks, etc) are helping in that regard as well, but hey, whatever it takes. I told her I'd drop off my stuff on Monday.
Now the real question is, How cool is that?! I'm at this party, that I wasn't even planning on going to, where I know like NO one, and I'm basically a +1...it's at a club, it's dark and it's late, yet this woman recognizes me and asks me to submit myself for a film they're working on. Amazing...maybe I should go out more often...
