Will Post On Blogs…

February 20, 2010 by Dana Kaminski in Uncategorized

For those of you who don’t know, I had a little fever that I needed to tend to.

Since I am the only one here (who feeds the voracious beast we all know as the internet)

…There have been no blog posts for a few days.

Fear not, because there is plenty in the wings. I will be posting again, starting tomorrow…

Thanks for hanging in,

Dana

Go and check out Oscar Prep, if you have some time. [link]

I feel better than this by now...

I Don’t Wanna Be Like Your Mama, Actors, And Say I Told You So…

But… if you are going around doing measly auditions that aren’t really going to highlight you and that no one is going to come to, or uccch, not even hire you for; or you’re spending all your time doing extra work, or worse: paying dues at the unions and barely making rent and not getting any decent auditions…Don’t.
