Dear Hollywood Diary…

Last Saturday Night we had our wrap party for ERNESTO at the Geisha House in Hollywood. It was fun…
Cast, Crew, Kareoke, and some SUPER YUMMY sushi! It was fun to hang out with everyone and just relax
and have a good time. It’s also weird to be done and just…wait…now. From what I’ve seen so far, the show
looks SO GOOD and I’m so happy proud of it and I think everyone else is too.

So now, I’ve been at home getting stuff done that I kinda put to the side…like CLEANING MY APT!, or putting
up my wireless internet (so I can write to all you GLAMOROUS PEOPLE! and just waiting to see if any other
auditions come my way. It’s been a little slow lately and not sure what that’s all about. I do know my other
actor friends are feeling that slow pinch too. I guess it’s always a waiting game when it comes to auditions.
I do know that one of my friends managed to get a couple auditions in this last week (getting called back as
well…WAY TO GO JJ!!). Well now I catch up on my tv watching and getting ready for the halloween caberet show
I’m doing called THE WITCHING HOUR. I love going to rehearsals for that, cuz it keeps me busy and it’s
such a fun project. I hope if you any of you who reads this has time, you’ll come on down and check it out! The
tix are $10 but I’m hearing a rumor if you come in costume…then it’s only $5 and really…can you pass up 5 bucks?
there’s gonna be great guest stars performing…plus another rumor of AWESOME SPICED CIDER (alcoholic and non…
for the kids) ooh I forgot to mention it is kid friendly (seriously…think nightmare before christmas vibe)

So I’m gonna leave ya now with some pics of the Wrap party (just click on the links below and enjoy!)

Welp Friday finalized my last day working on ERNESTO. I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!! and everyone was
just so amazing to work with, it makes me a little sad to be done. But hopefully…this is just a small break before we get that
“greenlight” and I get to go back to work with all those cool people!!. My sister, nephew, and his friend came to visit me on
set last thursday. It was so much fun to be with them and even though I didn’t have much to do that day (I had shot most of my
stuff the two weeks before) They had a blast meeting everyone and seeing what I did have left to film. The show itself (from what I’ve seen so far) looks SO FUNNY and well shot. I was in the make-up trailer when they were going over some “dailies” (unedited footage shot the days before) and the look is so cool. I’m really proud of this NO MATTER WHAT. It’s very much a labor of love and I feel so honored to be apart of it.

Now that it’s over for the time being, I’ve started rehearsing for a super fun show I did before called THE WITCHING HOUR. It’s
written by Eban Schletter (the man behind the musical madness of Mr. Show and Spongebob Squarepants) and it’s a very neat stylized “Nightmare before christmas” sounding Halloween show. It’s been done before at Largo in L.A., but this year it’s going to be at the STEVE ALLEN THEATRE in Los angeles. If you’re looking for something to do on the 29th and 30th…come on down. It’s such a fun show, only $10 and loaded with lots of SPECIAL GUESTS (some listed, some a surprise)

So now?…I’m gearing up for the SPOOKY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN season…and figuring out what to be for Halloween…maybe
lil’ red? this is gonna take some time….
