Another Print Audition & Disney Christmas

I had another print audition today for a jeans company.  It was a bit of a drive to the company office in brilliantly named City of Industry, but I'm just glad my print agents are getting me out there!

In unrelated news, as a ABC/Disney employee, Gina got to go to the company Christmas party at Disney World last month -- luckily for me, she got to bring a guest!  They shut down the park at 8:30 p.m. and from 8:30 -12:30 a.m. it was only open to Disney employees and their families/guests.  It was a lot of fun getting to go on just about any ride without much of a wait, and they had specials on food and drinks, too.  Here we are enjoying our $2 churros in front of the castle.  Thanks Gina and Uncle Walt!

Vroom!

I had an audition for Porsche today.  Unfortunately the job wouldn't involve me tearing around a track or driving along a seaside cliff in Europe, it's just a print gig.  But, since it's been a long time since I've had an audition of any sort, it was nice. 

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable New Year.  I spent my day as a bellman walking alongside the Cunard float in the Rose Bowl parade.  It was quite a surreal experience as there were SOO many people! (somewhere close to 900,000 I heard) Wisconsin was well represented with a ton of red in the stands lining the 5-6 mile route through Pasadena...

My feet are a bit sore today thanks to walking in dress shoes, but otherwise I'm no worse for wear.  The Cunard float itself was a pretty big hit with the judges (winning the Queen's Award for "The Best Use of Roses") and fans alike thanks mainly to the band and dancers aboard I think.  Thanks to those of you who messaged or texted that you saw me -- my folks said they got a good close-up view on ABC.  Getting up at 3:30 a.m. on New Year's Day was a bit rough, but it was good to start 2011 with some work! 

Coming Up Roses

Happy New Year's Eve, everybody!  Just wanted to let you know that I'll be walking in the Rose Bowl Parade tomorrow morning on New Year's Day.  I'll be dressed in a bellman outfit -- bright red button-up jacket and hat, black pants -- as part of the Canard Cruise Line float -- there is a band, dancers, 8 bellmen (I will probably be third of four on the left side), and a ton of flowers.  Supposedly the float is going to pass the 'TV Stand' at around 9:00.  So, if you watch, keep an eye out! ;)  I'm hoping for no rain...

And Go Badgers!

Badgers in LA

Last weekend my parents came out to visit.  We had some perfect weather and a great time wandering about town.  Here are pics from some of our adventures.  Come back soon, Mom and Dad!
