I go the part....I think

OK so this past Sunday I went to an open call for Tony and Tina's Wedding .. A very fun interactive dinner theatre/ improv comedy/play. But I'm not ready to say much more until I hear from them again telling me i got the part. It all happened so fast that I'm not sure what happened but i will share the audition craziness as soon as I can.

Will keep you all posted...

NEW YORK NEW YORK

I have such interesting travel karma. I had a quiet flight..crowded and uncomfortable but that's normal. I had an aisle seat which I wanted but this adorable couple realized they were gona be separated and I gave them my seat on the aisle for a dreaded middle seat. Hopefully that was a brownie point for me from the travel gods..and it was... I got off the plane, my bag came out first and I walked outside immediately to find a shuttle about to leave. SWEET. So, we get to Manhattan and I'm informed that the driver cannot drive me to the door of the hotel and dropped me, bags and all, in the center of Times Square to push thru the crowds and walk to a hotel I've never been to before. Hmmm no I look like a native..really, I do. Ok I'm walking , I'm walking... and I see a HUGE Scientology building and I'm thinkin I hope to GOD my hotel didn't suddenly become a church. Now that would be an interesting bait an switch. Anyway, I walked too far, I knew it , but I could not find that damned hotel, so I stopped in front of the BIlly Elliot Theatre sign and an adorable bike and cart driving boy stopped and asked if I wanted a ride. I declined but he said "well,Can I help you ?" Normally I'd decline that too but I was really perplexed about where I was and I was tired. We looked at my literature and he didn't know the hote either.. he told me to get in and he would help me find it.. what a doll! SO I had a lovely open air ride ALL AROUND TIMES SQUARE. It was a blast. He grabbed one of his cart riding buddies to help.. HE couldn't find it.. so we finally hailed a cabbie who told us it was around the corner....my cute driver took us thru an alley to where we had originally met. Here's the Billy Elliot sign again and across the street? MY HOTEL. OMG we both just lost it! Laughed long and hard. His name was Sergei and he will never forget where the Paramount Hotel is ever again! (yeah I tipped him big time for the sweet adventure.
