Just got home from Dallas! The audition went great! I left yesterday for Rockwall, where Michael lives, and I stayed at his apartment so I wouldn't have to drive ten hours in one day! I got up this morning and got ready (side note- any time I have an instance where I have to wear pantyhose, I am SO thankful I have chosen a career that doesn't require me to wear them every day. Just for special occasions! No offense to those who have... I just really hate pantyhose). Then I drove to Water Tower Theatre, which is about 30 minutes from Rockwall. It stinks that I didn't get to see Michael much on this trip, especially since he leaves for work at 7:30am every day. ANYWAY, so Water Tower Theatre is beautiful. It is literally right underneath the Addison water tower, and right next to a park and a lot of really cool-looking buildings. The staff was so great and really friendly, but I found out they're looking for a very diverse cast. They want the family to be all Hispanic people if they can find them. So a 22 year-old white girl might not fit into this cast very well, but it was definitely worth the trip! When I auditioned for Shakespeare Dallas a couple months ago, I had this same feeling. You drive 5 hours and you rehearse for weeks and you get about 2 minutes with the people who could hire you. Then five hours back. Between that and missing Michael, I'm definitely ready to live in Dallas! I was hoping to have a job before I move down there, but I may just have to take the plunge and move. It will be much easier to make it to auditions that way!
I'm completely addicted to this band called Florence + The Machine. Michael got me hooked on them. I'm listening to them now, and it's hard to focus because I'm listening to the words! They're so good. My favorite is called Cosmic Love.
Looking forward to this weekend, I'm working a couple of shifts at Texas Roadhouse and tomorrow night is Rosie's engagement party!
