The past few months have been crazy!
I'll take it back to May.
Ashleigh came to town in early May and we celebrated my birthday with friends on my rooftop. So fun! It was nice to have Ashleigh here to spend some one on one time with her. She spoiled me and bought me about 87 presents...including a George Foreman which I often put to good use. Kabobs are neat. She also helped me add to my ever-growing cameo collection. Love 'em! We visited The Abbey, both of our first times. This is a fabulously gay club where there is a very convincing transexual who performs there every monday. Makes the $14 mojito worth it, right? Anyway, so that has become one of my favorite places in the city. Its on Robertson and Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood...the heart of "Boytown". Gah, I love this city ;)
Nicholas came to town in late May!! We had such a great time. We went to XIV, a super trendy new restaurant on the Sunset Strip and had happy hour specials on the patio. Amazing! I love date night. We walked around Silver Lake (one of my favorite areas of town) and had some great times together. Met my LA friends at The Abbey later on in the trip. These are all pretty mundane details but thats why I can't wait this long to post. BAD KATIE!
Last month, me and Ashleigh and Scott met in Austin with Nick and Erik. REUUNNIIIOOONNN. We had silly times. Floated down the river with beer. Class all the way!!
I started taking acting classes!!!!! Stan Kirsch is my teacher and I love the class! It is so all encompassing. He used to work with Leslie Khan, who is a very reputable school in this city, so I was excited to get cracking with him. When I went to my initial consultation, the first thing he did was teach me something I had never heard before. good sign, eh? Then, I went home that night and watched my ritual episode of Friends and HE WAS ON IT! Ahh star alignment. So I took a leap of faith and signed up. I've learned SO much. I realized that I really NEED to be in class. Get the rust off, ya know? It's definitely a necessary step for me. So I am happy with that. Understatement!!!
Work has been slow, but I have recently joined a few casting groups and have really been putting myself out there. And last week, I got a call from someone whose friend I gave my business card to 7 months ago and he cast me in a feature film!!! Independent. For festivals. I'm excited! I need to get in front of a camera asap. I am going to a read-through today!
Boring post, but its something! More thoughtful post later :)
