And the search goes on. I had a flurry of activity today - I talked to Cary Spear, to whom I've not spoken in an age, and it turns out that both she and Ron (Siebert, her husband) are here in town, at their apartment in Inwood, so we're going to try to have dinner tomorrow night. It'll give me a chance to collect some of my crap from their apartment, but more importantly, it'll give me a chance to see Cary & Ron. Besides being such sweet people and such great friends, they're really good for my ego, and give me a lot of hope for my career, which I'm not often good at doing myself.
I also put in a call to an agent at Jeff Bergman's agency, Todd Jenkins. Jeff's set up the introduction, so hopefully I'll be able to get an appointment with Todd, and after he hears my voice demo, hopefully he can offer some wisdom on which way to go in getting representation and thoughts about improvement. So I'm looking forward to making that connection.
Other than making a bunch of phone calls and sitting on my keister (is that how you spell that word? is it really even a word?) I haven't accomplished much today.
I spoke to David, the guy with whom I've been corresponding the last couple of months, and we're wrangling over our second date. Did I tell you we had a seven hour first date? I met him at noon on Sunday in front of the Barnes & Noble on the north side of Union Square, and we went from there to lunch at Mayrose Diner, which we discovered is a mutual favorite - I'd been there before on my own and with Amy Hartman, when we'd met Roy Yokelson and Jeff at The Sound Track studio, which is right around the corner. It really is a tiny little world. From there, we wandered through the holiday bazaar in Union Square and then hopped the subway for the little adventure David had planned for us - he'd been promising me that when we finally met we were going to do something he thought would be cool that he'd never done, and was pretty sure I'd never done, and was free! That last part was good for both of us. Anyway, we ended up on the Staten Island Ferry, shuttling back and forth across New York Harbor and checking out the new skyline of lower Manhattan. After a trip back and forth on the ferry, we made for the Lincoln Center area in hopes of catching a 4:15 showing of In the Bedroom, but by the time we got there, it was sold out. So instead, we went to dinner at a little diner around the corner. Afterward, we walked all the way down to 42nd Street where we each caught our respective subways for the trip home. He lives in Astoria, and I live in Brooklyn. Two ends of the same line. Anyway, I had a great time, and I think he enjoyed himself as well, so we're working on finding a time when we can get together again. His weekend's pretty booked up with work and visiting friends, so we're aiming for next week.
In the meantime, I've got a lot of work to do, and more temp agencies to visit, so I'll update you further as soon as possible. Hope all's well!
