Change is coming!

Well, when I said things in my life change rapidly I wasn't kidding. I am no longer moving to LA on the first of next month. Instead I booked a gig yesterday doing "Legends In Concert" at a casino in Connecticut. I will be there from the end of May through the beginning of September. I am definitely looking forward to the opportunity. I will be able to save money, clear my head, and figure out where I want to go from here. At the moment I am leaning towards moving to LA, but who knows what could happen between now and September?

One of the women conducting the audition said they were only looking to fill a small number of roles. Furthermore, they had people that had worked for the company previously who might be interested in the positions available. After the combination was taught, we performed in groups of three or four. I felt fairly confident at the audition. My mistakes doing the combo were minimal, and I felt like I performed to the best of my ability. After all of the groups had the opportunity to perform, they asked four of us to come to the center and do the combo again. Selected were two other males, one female, and myself. Next, they dismissed the rest of the auditionees. Each of us were asked our interest and availability, and then we were informed that they would need 24 hours to make a decision. Fortunately I didn't have to wait that long. They called me an hour later to offer me the contract. I was so excited to have a job offer that I completely neglected to ask about the payscale!! Whoops, that's a big one to forget...

It seems to me that time will be passing VERY slowly until rehearsals start in Vegas on the 14th of May. We will rehearse here until around the 25th and then we relocate. The venue is the Foxwood Casino in Ledyard, CT (pictured left). Amenities include room and board at the casino, and use of the gym and dining facilities. I researched Foxwood online and it is supposed to be the largest casino in the world. While I must admit the prospect of living in CT doesn't exactly send shivers down my spine, I would definitely prefer three months there to eight months onboard a cruiseship. One of the benefits to the location, however, is the close distance to NYC and Boston, in both of which I have friends who reside. Amy said she will come visit while I am there, and that it is only a trainride away from NYC.

In the meantime I have photoshoots, auditions, and trips to LA and San Francisco to keep me occupied. Though the time is inching by I know it will be here before long. In the meantime I must remain patient.
