The World (America)

Good Afternoon!

The Yankees won the World Series. Good job, George Fish and boys! Every time people talk about them being "world champions" in the news now, I think of the Eddie Izzard joke that America has won every World Series. Good job, America. Why do we call it the "World Series," by the way? And if we must persist in calling it that, shouldn't we let some other countries play with us?

I'm pretty sure I just proved my non-die-hard-baseball-fan-ness by suggesting such a preposterous idea. Please don't laugh at me.

ANYWAYS! SHOW BIZ!

I'm continuing to write this week and starting to percolate plans for a reading in December. I had a moment of inner-joy today when i realized that all the women in my play are over 30. Take that, youth-obsessed World (America) who doesn't let other countries play baseball with Derek Jeter!

I'm not exactly sure how to hold auditions, however. I've never done that before in NYC... how do i get an ad placed in Backstage? Also, because I'm in Actor's Equity, do i have to do the reading as an Equity Showcase? And if i do it as an Equity Showcase, do i need three buckets of cash instead of one? how many buckets does an Equity Showcase take?

These are things to be learned in this, my process of getting a play from my brain onto the stage in this, the theatre capital of the World (America).

I shall now go to learn things. And, as a multi-tasking thing, I'll Google why other countries don't play in the World Series. Google doesn't have the ability to mock me, right?
