1.21 Gigawatts of Opinion

Job aquired!

I had my interview at the theatre last night and despite horrible traffic causing me to be late (I allowed 30 minutes extra too!) I got offered the job. It's great, but only lasts two months then the job ends. Sad, but at least it is at one of the seven big theatre and I think I'll like it there. Loved working at Intiman. Oh did I mention I get free tickets? Well I do.

I plan on taking Lucia tommorrow night. Then my audition which is at 11:30 Sunday morning! This is a good weekend so far. If I get the show it'll be even better. Though it's been a while since I've gone on one. I'm rusty as I can be no doubt. Still, it's good for me to be going out again. And either way, I got a new job!

Not only do I have a job interview at that theatre I mentioned but I also have an audition! Yeah I'm on a theatre roll my friends, a roll let me tell you.

I'll keep you guys updated on how both ventures turn out. Hopefully I'll get both, and the show pays! yeah a theatre job and an acting job that pays? STAMP OF APPROVAL IN RED.

Well while I anguish you can check out a friend of mine's site. Chad Kimball, one of my good friends from highschool is now a Broadway actor. I found out about this a few years back and was very unshocked.

Chad Kimball, best actor I know. Won best actor in every damn highschool musical he played the lead in, which was pretty much all of them and has a great singing voice. We were in alot of theatre classes together too. I'm extremely happy for him. 

He now has his own clothing company.Ogear Clothing. Check it out for hip NY threads. 

Stay tuned for interview and audition updates! 

Yes! I have an interview at one of the big 7! That is, one of the seven major theatres here in Seattle. It's not acting but it does rock! I happen to love this theatre too.

It is only an interview but I'll let my readers know how it turns out, cause I know you come here to hear about my job interviews!

These interwebs sure have some great things in them don't they gang? Like today, I was surfing through Tom Green's blog as I like to do and I watched some Vlogs. Those are cool. Vlogs.

So I made a search for vlogs, then local vlogs. Haven't found any of those yet, however I did find Seablogs, a Seattle weblog portal. I have spent the last 20 minutes reading local blogs and I have to say it is a good time.

I wanted to start something like this a few months ago, when I was far less blog savvy! Seablog has probably been around since like 1979! If not, it still likely came before my idea and on finding it I am quite the enthusiastic supporter of it. Check it out.

If your visiting from Seablogs leave a comment! You could leave a comment about how stylish or horribly damn hideous and disgusting looking the sci-fi museum looks! Except that cool thing coming out of it. Like an alien. That thing is cool.

Anyway, check out the blog, where I'm not talking like Tom Green.

Now that Google Video is active it's got a growing number of awesome videos. And as pointed out by Boing Boing a search for Highschool will bring up some of the best stuff.

As a fan of the 80s and especially of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, I have to point my readers here for a must see perfomance by anyone who loves the old NES games. An a capella performance of some of our favorite games.

I miss Astoria, the small fishing town in which the fictional Goondocks from the 80s classic Goonies was filmed. I was down there for the 20th Anniversary Celebration in June and had such a great time.

I watched the Goonies Vacation tonight and it REALLY made me miss that town. Check it out and see why. Especially if you're a fan of the Goonies, or gorgeous port towns.

More on Astoria here.

As predicted the Puyallup Fair was awesome. We unexpectadly got free tickets from Lucia's boss and arrived at the fair about 4:00pm.

First thing was to get food. I ate at a place called The Mad Greek where I had a Polish Sausage, pepsi and a big ass basket of fries which they gave me for free. Once food was out of the way we hit the animal exhibits and had a great time looking at farm animals of all kinds.

We stopped in on the new Toonzville exhibit where I forced Lucia to watch the Let's Pretend Circus show. Which is a circus where they take kids from the audience, give them costumes to wear and give them simple directions like "When she points at you all you have to do is growl!".

The show was fun and had alot of audience participation (inlcuding oohing and ahhing clapping in a circle ("rounds of applause") and such. The kids were fun to watch and reminded me of the Make-A-Circus I was in as a kid.

After that we went through more animal exhibits then through the shops and hobby halls and into the crafts. It was a hell of alot of fun and I ended up getting a new baseball cap with pirate Jack Rackham's flag on the front. On the reverse it says Surrender the Booty. A typical pirate saying on just about every piece of pirate clothing out there. I love this hat!

After alot more walking and more exploring we ended up going home about 9:00pm. I had a great time as usual. I'll miss it until next year.
