So I made a rather spontaneous move to the big apple about a week ago after closing a milestone show for me, August: Osage County. Twas the best time on stage I've ever had in my life...cried even, when it ended. That almost never happens.
Anyway...so here I am. Fresh-faced...young-ish. Tossing back and forth the shoulda-coulda-woulda of deciding against taking my card for Speech & Debate. (For those of u who are lost, card- equity card, meaning membership to the actors union...which I'm beginning to suspect might be the tiniest bit...um, essential) but then again, this being my 2nd NY EPA ever...I discourage myself from jumping to such conclusions.
Yeah. That's where I am...165 w. 46th St. Lotsa time to kill...whoooo.
Got into the lounge with my Emc card, but have this nagging feeling like I should have been put in the kiddie room. I don't know how, but I wish there was some spray I could douse myself with to throw off the pungence of my greenness.
I can't help it...like my heart, I tend to wear my circumstances on my sleeve. Shucks.
The monitor seemed to be confused/annoyed by my 2 interactions at the table...I suppose they know what they're doing despite his t-shirt's depiction of him being impaled by a rather jovial mickey mouse. :/
I can feel myself cultivating negative thoughts about this experience, however I am counting on my not-so-easily discouraged nature to get me out of bed and to another 2 tomorrow. I'm riding the sheer novelty of it right now considering I don't have a day job or begun finding one yet.
(...not for lack of want, I have a show in St.Pete in May...)
Alright...I'm gonna go consult the tiny-lady monitor, she seems nice.

Congrats on packing up your copy of River of Grass and heading to the Big Apple, Jackie! As an unabashed flamingo-lover who made the same trek, I wish you TONS OF LUCK! Feel free to write/call me and I shall reveal all the deep/dark/odd secrets I uncovered in the process.... EILEEN FAXAS
