Alright kids, here’s the dish:

1) I got my new website up & running (duh).  It’s a shiny new toy & I hope to spend hours & hours in the next few weeks turning it into a home.  If you have any suggestions or thoughts, let a brother know.

2) I auditioned last weekend for a part in a play that’s going to be done as a component of the SF Fringe Festival.  I didn’t get the parts though.  I did, however, learn a lot from that audition experience.  Thank you to the ManTrip men for helping me celebrate getting the audition; thank you to the Bay to Breakers crowd for supporting me actually going to the audition while y’all were still here; and as always, thank you to my wife for talking me down from ledges.  (Only a few roles require auditioning from a ledge.)

3) I do have ANOTHER audition lined up for next weekend – but this one involves singing.  Holy crap.  Does anyone know where I can find sheet music for Elvis songs?  Seriously.  Buckle up.  Audition is the 31st, so look for an update here around the 3rd or so.

4) I’m still working on comedy for open-mic / stand-up formats, but that’s taken a bit of a back seat lately to all the auditon prep & regular acting classes, not to mention all the business trips, vacations & guests we’ve had.  However, if you happen to be keeping score, you’ll know that Open-Mic Night #1 is not far off…

5) Work is work, though I’m less than thrilled with the negativity that circulates ad nauseam these days.  And no one seems to be willing to try anything different than what we’ve already done – all of my suggestions get forwarded on into the realm of the “If Only We Weren’t Scared Of Screwing Up We’d Do Something Like This.”  So on a scale of 1 to Not Motivated, I’m definitely Not Motivated.

… No no, I said Top 5, I meant Top 5.  Go back to your BBQ – happy Memorial Day.  Unless you’re Canadian.
