24 hours to go

ok - so dave made it into alma last night safe and sound after quite a big final push. I think it was almost 1am east coast time and he sounded relieved and sore. ;)

I'll try to keep up with updates here whilst we are on our journey - a lot of campgrounds actually have wireless internet these days...so we'll see how it goes. :)

in other news, knowing that i am going away, life has sent me many tests lately. I have had to say no to several amazing tissu gig opportunities. including one at shoreline. yes - shoreline. it's in july. i was asked to come in and work with a girl from the youth circus and even do some choreography for a show in, yep, you guessed it - July. ok. i had my final class before leaving with my russian teacher tonight and she finally let me do a very hard high level trick that i had been patiently waiting to try. now i won't get to try it again until September because she leaves right when I come back. ok. my callback for the first show of the season at the magic (the special trapeze one) was supposed to be this month - it was moved - yep - to July. i've had a myriad of calls for readings, auditions...all sorts of stuff - since the world knows i can't do them... The kicker though was ACT. ACT called last week for an audition. yeah - i don't even need to tell you that it's in July. ah dear. i don't even want to talk about that anymore....

so my dayjob is insane. our fiscal year ends on friday and my last day in the office is tomorrow. i knew today was going to be crazy. yeah - well it was freaking CRAZY. ok. fine. i can deal with it - just one more day. but then my agent calls this morning for a lead role audition in a low budget feature film (these do not come along very often in SF) and the audition is - NOT in July.... but TOMORROW! ugh. ok. that means getting audition sides prepared, outfits selected, make-up found and leaving work to run out and back. Then not 2 minutes later, I check my e-mail and the casting director at the Magic is asking if I can come in today or tomorrow to put some monologues from the trapeze play on video so that Bill P. can have them for a callback. um. ok. so i'll have to leave work for that and back. and can I say that perhaps I'll be a little, um, not on my best game? and then did I mention that my plane leaves tomorrow night?

ok. i'm procrastinating and that's exactly what I shouldn't be doing when I have to pack for a month and prepare for two auditions and do some dayjob work. and debbie and michael are coming soon to say goodbye.

goodbye!!!! goodnight!!!!
