It has been H-O-T here, but the weather broke a little yesterday. My in-laws were our first official visitors over the last couple of weeks. We had a good time and did a number of things that we hadn't done since we've been here. The Getty Center is very impressive. We only spent a few hours there, but you could take much more time to see everything. My wife and her parents went on a whale watching cruise Friday, but I was unable to attend because of a last second commercial audition. It was a quick meeting that I landed myself. I took a little extra time beforehand to drop off some headshots elsewhere. Tomorrow, I have a meeting with a management company where I may intern for a while to see how that side of the business works. I previously attended a discussion held by one of the managers there and she seemed like a cool, ethical, real person. I like those kinds of people. So, we'll see. I'm looking forward to learning even more about the business.
I start with my new acting coach a week from tomorrow. That's tremendously exciting. One of the reasons I came out here was to get access to the higher quality training environment and the experienced coaches LA has to offer. Of course, you have to weed through the hundreds of poseurs, but I think I may have found a gem. As I've mentioned, I have attended several discussions involving agents and managers, and this coach has been mentioned by all of them. She seems to have a reputation for comedy specifically, which is fan-freaking-tastic for me. Since I haven't mentioned it already, allow me to encourage those of you who live in LA and read this little journal to check out The Actors Network. It's located in Studio City-ish off Moorpark, and it's a great place to get info on the biz from people who are in it and share ideas and insights with other people who are pursuing this career. So, look into it. If you go to an orientation session, tell them I sent you.
