Yet another gig?

Good news! I just got a call from the director of
a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater show, and
she asked me if I'd be available on weekends
next month! The last show I did, back in December
or January, was the only time I performed with
her company, and I didn't even get paid for it.
I've been with them since last fall, but it finally
looks like I'm getting some where with them.

Update about the "lone gunmen" spotted near
my office. It's possible that this guy didn't even
exist, according to a recent news blurb. Just goes
to show how hysteria & incompetence go
hand-in-hand.

Scary things happening...

There have been reports of a gunmen lurking down
the street from my office. Haven't heard anything
more as of this post, but I'm leaving work in about
half an hour, and I'm a little scared to go outside!
I'll be careful...

The audition

Saturday's audition for the TV pilot about the bullpen
pitchers went pretty well. I was given script for 2 different
characters, but only had to read for one. Afterwards, as I
was walking outside, one of the assistants told me, "I don't
want to get your hopes up, but that was the best reading for
that character so far!" Then I had to go outside and toss a few,
since the role requires that you know how to throw a baseball.
For the basic throw & catch, I did OK. I had a little more
trouble with pitching, but I'd never done that before, anyway.
They will be shooting in less than a month, so hopefully I will
hear from them soon.

TV Star?

I got another audition coming up this Saturday
at Mercer County Community College for a TV
Pilot called "The Bullpen". It's about a group of
major league pitchers & their coaches. You have
to know how to throw a baseball. I haven't thrown
one in a while, but I think I can step up when the
time comes. Even if I don't get a part as one of the
pitchers, I can still get the part of the mascot, or
as an extra. No matter what part I get, I'll be happy.
How many people can say they've been on a TV show,
anyway?

This Bud's for you...Herr Doctor!

I was just watching a video on MSNBC that said
that Budweiser might be bought up by the Belgians.
Since Dr. Evil, Austin Powers' nemesis, is Belgian, does
that mean he might add Budweiser to his evil empire.
Remember, he was head of Starbucks at one point,
so I guess he decided to go from caffeine to alcohol.
Any thoughts?

I hope I get it....wait, I did!!

The director of the Fourth Wall Theater Company
just called...to say...she loves me. Well, sort of. Actually,
she called to say I got the part of the father in Neil
Simon's "Come Blow Your Horn"! She said I seemed
to be more comfortable with the part. I guess that's
because he's the most flustered character. That's the
type I'm drawn to. What I like to call "anger comedy"-
Lewis Black, Denis Leary, etc.-has always held a special
place in the cockles of my heart. I will keep all of you
posted for any further updates on showtimes and such.
So until tomorrow, break a leg!!

Birth of a Blogger

Ladies & Gentlemen, Children of All Ages! Welcome to the birth of
my blog, "Kevboy's Realm"!! Inspired by my big sis & bro-in-law
on the other side of the pond, this blog will be your one & only
resource to everything that's going on in this world. Well, maybe
my world, mostly. But I resolve to scour the globe for any tidbit,
iota or morsel of anything remotely of interest to spew, rant and
rave about. I am also open to any suggestions, ideas, complaints
or greivances any of you out there may have, and I encourage
you to share your deepest, darkest thoughts on my blog.

Well, things are starting to pick up a bit around here...I try to be
a good blogger and make at least one post daily. Thank you for
reading, and keep searching for your goal!
