Vacation

August 28, 2007 Brooklyn, NY

SO after finishing the festival I went to Coney Island with John. We, We started the day out on Brighton Beach, playing in the surf and soaking up the sun. Then we walked down to the COney Island Boardwalk, had Nathan's hot dogs and daquris on the beach. It was a nice relaxing vaction because... New York City starts to wear on you and you need to escape once in a while. NOw I am refreshed and ready for whatever comes next.

August 20, 2007 East Village, Manhattan

This past week has been CRAZY! Still working the festival till Sunday. Then, I've been hired to work the next little festival at the Gene Frankel. I was off last monday so i slept in and then went to see Stardust with John. It was a good movie. The people at the festival get craizer and craizer and I want more money for having to deal with insane audience members. I won't get it... but i want it. Friday night John and I went out with Christine Ebersole to the West Bank Cafe for "The After Party" (a kareoke party). that was a lot of fun. It's amazing how you get treated like a VIP when you are sitting at the same table as a two time Tony award winner. I was off today and spent my time relaxing and sent out the first batch of my mass mailing. Soon my face will be plastered around NYC (i hope). Anyway, that;s all i have for now.

Working Man

August 11, 2007 The Gene Frankel Theatre, East Village, Manhattan

So, from being a volunteer at the Main box office for FringeNYC , I recieved a promotion to Venue Box Office Manager at the Gene Franklin theatre at 24 Bond street (at Lafayette). This positions, though still volunteer, is a stipended position so I will be maiking some money for it. However, the big advantage is that I am recieving MASSIVE amounts of box office training and I have a contact with the box office for the Round About Theatre Company and will be applying for a job there once the festival ends for a survival job. SO, that's what's new right now. I work from 11 to 9:30 day without a break. This is a big festival!!!! About to open the box office for the next show so I'd better go.

Insanity

Thurday August 2, 2007 Brooklyn NY 1:50am

Went out with John last night for pizza, ice cream and to see Ratatouille. It was a fun night of hanging out. Today I went to some discount designer stores to scope out the clothing scene. I'll be looking to buy some new clothes soon. I also got the info that i needed to apply to be a substitute usher for Jujamcyn Entertainment (who own several Broadway Theatres including the Walter Kerr, The O'Neil, and the Saint James) and the info to apply for a job doing promotional work with Promotionals1. YAY!! I might be working soon! I also applied to be a volunteer for the NYCFringe festival so I can meet people and get free tickets to see the new up and coming work in NY.

In other news, I think I have completely lost my mind. I've decided what i want to write as my next play. It is very ambitious but here goes.... I'm going to write a play that would fit in to the Shakespearean Canon. Just to see if I can do it. I know. I'm crazy, right.
