On Vacation...





My week in pictures! 1st pic: Me in Santa Barbara, 2nd: Dan performing in his show, 3rd: Me and Haneefah after her show, 4th: dancing with Pluto! :-)

I feel like I've been on vacation for a week! Oh wait - I have! I had a friend in town from Texas and we had a lot to do and see! My birthday was this past Saturday and I spent it in Las Vegas, watching my friend Haneefah in Avenue Q. She is nothing short of AMAZING! I love her! She's a great talented performer! :-) Before heading to Vegas though, we spent a day in Santa Barbara (always nice!), and saw my friend Dan of The Dan Band perform at the Avalon in Hollywood. He was very awesome in hooking me up with free tickets and a nice VIP table/box booth. The show was incredible as always! We spent memorial day at the beach...both Venice and Santa Monica. I got a bit of a sunburn but the weather was perfect! (ok, maybe a tad too hot around noon). Then, we ended the vacation with a 10 hour trip to Disneyland and California Adventure (thanks to MORE free tickets from my buddy Jen! Thanks!!!) That was a GREAT time!
So, now I'm back just for a few days before I head out to Hawaii next weekend for my friend's wedding. I'm sure I'll have to work some days this summer - just doesn't feel like it's anytime soon!
I also have to plan a trip back to Texas in July since I haven't seen my family since Christmas! Feels like I'm on vacation more than I'm working. That's not good! Well, I guess it depends on who you ask!

And the JOURNEY Continues...

Image
First of all, let me just say this blog was correctly titled! My journey has been quite an interesting one!  Definitely not "uneventful" - that's for sure... I left LA about 6 1/6 years ago, not knowing why I was leaving a pretty stable acting career in an industry where stable acting careers are hard to find.  I came back home to Texas, not sure what I was looking for, but open to the adventure that was to be found. Three years later, I left Austin and found myself back in my hometown of Corpus Christi Texas, with two kids and a husband.  That was January, 2 years ago.  My initial plan was to open up a casting office in town, and continue casting.  What I found was a city that didn't have much of an entertainment business community.  No talent agencies, no acting schools, aside from high school theatre and the college and university.  That makes casting very difficult. That's when I decided to start teaching.  I found Aurora Arts Theatre, and they welcome

Proud Agent

Image
So...I'm having one of those moments where I am extremely proud of the talent I represent. No really - I have some amazingly talented actors on my roster.   Yes - here in South Texas.  Corpus Christi to be exact.   A city which has NEVER had a talent agency submitting actors for these opportunities! I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance of the musical RENT at the University last week.  Three of the leads are with my agency, and the others, I would love to sign on!  The show was SOOOOO freakin good.  I had seen some of these actors in other shows and never knew some of them can sing like that!  And to see my actors, the ones with the agency, push and stretch their acting limits for these roles, it was the coolest thing to witness!  I think because of my background, and knowing the hard work an acting career takes, it makes me a special kind of agent - one who appreciates the work my actors do - on stage, and off. Another proud moment this past wee

ACTOR: Your Hobby or Profession?

Acting is fun.  And for the most part, those who have been bitten by the acting bug will find a way to ACT.  Whether its in their school's play production, community theatre, independent films, or their own youtube channels.  I have seen a ton of talent in my life.  Both at the small town level, and on Hollywood sets.  And I often wonder about the actor onstage in the local community theatre and wonder what their plans and dreams are...  When I started as an actor, I absolutely loved it.  I couldn't get enough of it, actually.  I would audition for plays back to back, participate in student films whenever I could, and dreamt about the day when I could actually do it for a living.  That was my goal.  To make a living doing what I loved to do - so that "work" wouldn't feel like "work". And so I busted my ass to make it happen.  I was focused on a goal and made sure I achieved it. I'm pretty proud of myself.. But I realized that not everyone who
