Chris just got his masters from NYU and is working as a resident artist at a few theatres in the NYC. As per usual, he tried to lure me to move to Manhattan with him with promises of lead roles in his new shows and alcohol-sodden dinners with Mary Louise Parker and the lady who plays Mrs. Waldorf on Gossip Girl.
It'd be so nice to live in the city for a while, I've always wanted to, but the thought of starting the whole process of moving, finding representation, learning to navigate the city and everything that goes along with being an actor in NY seems too daunting. I don't think I would have the energy to start over now. But I know that eventually I will want to live there for some indeterminate period of time, though my extreme aversion to cold does a pretty good job of scaring me away. I'm still trying to figure out how long to give myself in L.A. before I jump ship. But then I think that's not a very good attitude to have. I don't mind if it takes a long time to develop a career so long as it does eventually develop and I have a long lasting one. But is that realistic? What is a good timetable to have, if any?
Also, no one parties like Manhattan gays and lord knows I can't resist them.
OH random! I was walking down State Street to meet Chris at Dargans and I look to my left and see Grover Anderson playing his guitar on the corner! It looked like there were lots of dollars in his guitar case. Nice work Grover. If I could play an instrument (well) I would totally be a street performer. One of my favorite things about SB is that they embrace the street musician/homeless person.
Alec Baldwin rules at everything. SNL again! Too bad it is tainted by the Jonai. Men: please stop flat ironing your hair. This includes you Chris Pena.
