What a full day. I got up at 6:30am to take a friend to pick up his car which had been towed last night. After accomplishing that, I spent over 2 hours waiting for my tires to be installed at Costco. From there, I was late to an hour-long rehearsal for a scene I'm doing in a showcase. I took off from the Los Feliz area to go to Glendale for a 2pm, 2 line audition. The film is billed on their website as sort of a "sci-fi noir". Interesting, but the teaser trailer had some nicely composed shots. So, maybe it'll look good on a reel if it works out. The audition/meeting took all of 2 minutes, after which I went back to Los Feliz for continued rehearsal. I finally got back home around 5pm, and we had some people over for dinner at 7pm. I am officially done for the day.
Yesterday, the one that was NOT a lie, we saw a performance of the California Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The performance was great, and included a special performance by an amazing Russian violinist playing one of the world's rarest violins on loan from some collector or other. Before the concert, we took a tour of the facility. We intended to take the self-guided audio tour led by John Lithgow, but were informed that the audio tour was not being offered that day. Why? Isn't it recorded? At the start of the tour, we were told that there were no "donor walls" as Frank Gehry believed they would interrupt the experience of the architecture. Maybe "no" means "three" in our tour guide's native language, in which case there were definitely no donor walls, the third of which was so massive that it took up virtually the entire wall of the second floor.
