During my daily jaunt through the Economist, the NY Times, and whatever other news publication I can get my little hands on, I came across this fascinating article about the shift in casting attention to hosting auditions online:

While I don't agree with the article writer that the excitement and hope and intensity of waiting in audition lines - for hours upon hours with your head shot/resume in your hands and your heart on your sleeve - has worn off, it is interesting to see a new trend in the way casting directors host auditions.
Also, I had a bit of an epic work fail this morning. No total body conditioning class, about which I am quite sad. With my knees so unreliable these days, I've been feeling the need to carefully weigh my priorities (though at times I wish my gym membership wasn't quite so expensive at $79 a month).
Luckily, I've found that New Yorkers can do something fascinating at any Equinox gym in the city. If you go in and ask to be an outreach coordinator, you can come in and work for them about four hours a week and get a free membership!! That's awesome, I have to look into it ASAP. (This little tidbit is also for you, HD).
Anyway old chums, I'm off to soldier through one of the last days in my last month doing desk work for a while. T minus ONE DAY until the Met Opera contract begins!
