I know that we haven’t posted for quite a while, but you have to understand that it’s pretty intense here in Los Angeles. Everyday we’re on the road out there, while at the same time we are obliged to attend class every single night from 6 until 11 pm. After class we’re usually so tired that we just go home to get a good night rest.
With the arrival of Tom’s friend Thomas (a.k.a. Snefke) in Los Angeles a few days ago, the lack of the necessary sleep became even a bigger issue. So please forgive us if we couldn’t find the time to sit behind our computer to write some posts…
Anyway here are some of the things we did last week:
-
Tom and me went to an audition where they select people to star in Scrubs, C.S.I. and various other TV-series. Unfortunately neither one of us got selected, which actually makes perfect sense as we both were supposed to do a cold reading of very weird ad dull drama scenes, while other people were more lucky and got very interesting comedy scenes. On top of that, both our scene partners really sucked ass. My partner just bailed on me during our 10 minute rehearsal to go and move her car, while Tom’s co-star never even learnt to read. Finally, we were told again that a clear headshot stapled to your extensive acting resume is a definite must, if you ever want to meet a casting director through an audition.

We did some shopping on Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard. You have no idea how cheap clothing and electronics are here right now.
-
We went to the Commerce Casino twice after acting classes. It’s the biggest Casino in California, it’s specialized in Poker, it’s open 24/7 and basically just the perfect thing for unwinding after a rough day in L.A. With our Tourist Visa we are not allowed to work here in the United States, but if you play it right at the (lower buy in) pokertables, this is the (read: our) way to gain some money here in the states. No ID required, no questions asked and perfectly legit.

We went surfing in Venice beach. Yeaaaah Baby !!
We have some pictures and videos of all of the above, but we still need a little more time to edit them to something enjoyable to watch…
Last night, Tom and Snefke decided to go to Las Vegas for the weekend to get married …test their luck at the pokertables over there. Since I have already been Vegas before, I preferred to stay in L.A. to continue taking care of business. I finally had my headshots made, but I am seeing someone on sunday to have them “retouched” (gogo Photoshop). After that I still need to go to some Photo Lab to have them printed at the back of my resume.
I also responded to an add of THE WORLD FAMOUS COMEDY STORE as they seek “funny and exciting comedians to perform in The Belly Room” Owkay I know what you’re thinking, “You’re funny nor exciting Chris”, but frankly I couldn’t care less. I just want to get up on that stage, try out some of my sick material and who knows I might get some exposure along the way (sounds kinky huh).
In conclusion I promise you that in the future I will do my outmost best to post more and faster on this weblog
