I had two auditions this weekend. On Saturday I went to the callbacks for the short film Night Stand. The audition went really well and they told me that I was great, but I got an email this morning saying they went with one of the other actresses. I think it’s almost worse when they gratuitously compliment me and then say “no thanks,” the next day. Oh well.
On Sunday I went to an audition for a short meant for a Doritos competition. That was rough. I was asked to play both the woman and then the man (I was better as the man, all things considered) in the scene with another actress. Then we were asked to do a few improv exercises with accents and other things. Then they let one actress go and brought in another one for me to audition with. Then they had me rap for them. It was probably the most uncomfortable and stressful audition I’ve ever been in. I couldn’t have been more relieved when they finally excused me.
On Saturday night I went to GEMS, a sneaker shop in Pioneer Square, for the CC 2010 film premiere party. I met a few really great people at the party and after it was closed down I went along with Michael Mouncer and a couple of his buddies. The plan was to pick up some VIP tickets to USC from some guy who had a connection. Simple enough, right? Wrong.
I found myself on some epic journey, the likes of “Superbad” minus all of the hilarity and crazy characters. From Pioneer Square to Downtown to Ballard to Belltown, and when it became clear that we were not getting the tickets someone gave me $10 for a cab back to my car. I was home around two or so.
