I saw this casting notice for an audition for
Proof by David Auburn, which is one of my favorite shows, but it was up in the Bronx, so I was kind of leerie about going. Mostly because the Bronx is unexplored territory and it was at 7:30 pm, but I forced myself to suck it up and go. An hour subway ride later, I get off and start heading towards the address I had written down. It's sort of a main street, lots of cars and shops, kind of janky, but there seemed to be lots of families and people going about business as usual so I felt pretty safe. I headed towards the address, and I arrived at a cemetery. There was a little stone building a little ways off the road, and I could see they had an advertisement for
Proof. I figured I was in the right place, although it seemed really weird. I had given myself extra time in case I got lost, so I was the only one there. I thought, "Great, not only am I in the Bronx, I'm in a cemetery!! Beginning of a bad horror story??" I didn't want to sit in the dark graveyard and wait, so I took refugee in the Dunkin' Doughnuts across the street. I figured I'd wait until 7 before giving up and heading home. About 20 minutes later four or five other actors showed up so I waited with them. Once the auditions got going, it was fine. It's a legit little community theatre, and they seem like really nice people. Unfortunatly, their venue happens to be in a cemetery...
I also saw
A Starry Messenger with Matthew Brodderick, which was very good. I had my doubts but it exceeded my expectations.
Thanksgiving was very festive, Whole Foods catered, so it was very delicious. Black Friday I bought a new camera. Mine died after my trip to Vegas, and although it probably only needed a new battery, what's the fun in that? Besides, it came with a free printer! Anyway, I headed down to the Rockafeller Plaza, Bryant Park and Chelsea Market to test it out. These are the products, enjoy!
The Empire State Building gets different colored lights for different events and holidays. I thought the Thanksgiving colors were especially beautiful
Chelsea Market is home of many gourmet and specialty shops, like this bakery:

My picture doesn't do justice to the 500 pounds Swarovski Crystal star, so, here's a close up
Granted, Fergie isn't the tallest, but the star is still ridiculous
