I've Gone Green

So I got my new equity card in the mail today... It's Green! My favorite color! I'm a professional actor for another 6 months! The card always comes with a lovely theatrical quote. Let me share:

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." -- Thornton Wilder

Rant

So just a little complaint I have to make... I went to see the movie Quarantine today. What is up with all the filmmakers who insist on shooting their movies like it's being filmed from a video camera (ie. Blair Witch, Cloverfield... and now Quarantine!) It makes me nauseous and makes me want to vomit. I sit there closing my eyes, not seeing most of the movie, trying not to hurl, but inevitably need to leave the theatre for a breath of fresh air. JUST STOP IT! We get the point! OK... I'm done.

The Contents Of The Angel Ball Gift Bag

I know I go for months without blogging... shame on me! But as a gentle, easy transition back into blogging, I've decided to make a list... not much thought, yet still interesting.

A few days ago I was Talent Escorting for Denise Rich's Angel Ball... a very upscale gala fundraiser for Cancer. People bid obscene amounts of money for fabulous jewelry, vacations, TV appearances, etc... all for charity. At the end of the event, which you have to pay several thousand dollars to attend, you receive a gift bag of free items, usually sponsor gifts, to take home with you. This is what I got!
