Booked a-freakin'-gain

Man, I am on a roll! Update the leader board: 10 auditions, resulting in 3 callbacks and 2 bookings. And this second booking wasn't even a result of one of the three callbacks. I was booked directly, so that means 4 out of 10 led to either a callback or booking. Nice.

It's funny how it happens in clumps like this. I had 2 bookings in 2 weeks in March, and now I've booked 3 out of 4 Thursdays in June. So I guess that means nothing more 'til September.

I was really excited when my agent called, then I thought, wait, it's not like this job pays a fortune. The pay is fine, good even, but nothing to blow your socks off. I think I was happy because, like I said yesterday, I worked hard on it and know I did a good job. And I feel like I was well-suited for it. As opposed to, say, the Uncle Sam one, which paid more, but there were a half-dozen guys in the audition room with sliver hair and beards that would have been much better Uncle Sams.

Also it'll be fun because I'll be shooting with a celebrity. Even though I hadn't heard of him, he's a legend in NCAA basketball, so that will be a nice story to tell. And it makes up for the celebrity gigs I didn't get with Nick Lachey, Patrick Swayze and, of course, Ghostface Killah.

Now I've got to study up some more on him -- beyond wikipedia. I hope he's cool to work with. My only other real celebrity gig was a commercial a few years back with Senator Russ Feingold, and he was fun.

Nice start to the weekend!
