meet your social life

MEETUP
DOT COM

If you don't already know about MEETUP, it is a social networking website that actually connects people off line for face to face fun... check the site for any city, like ORLANDO for instance, and find hundreds of groups getting together based on mutual interests. It is interactive, so you can create a group if there isn't one that suits you. These are some of the events I'll be attending, some are private parties and some are public gatherings. The challenge is choosing between them all.

Dec 1st (Sanford Pvt)
   House Party Meetup

Dec 4th (O'Boys)
   Earth Trivia

Dec 6th (Orlando Museum of Art)
   Meetup at OMOA

Dec 7th (Hard Rock)
   Tribute to John Lennon

Dec 8th (West Pvt)
   House Party Meetup

Dec 8th (Southchase Pvt)
   Game Night Meetup

Dec 15th (Weikiva - Pvt)
   Holiday Party Meetup

Dec 16th (Arnold Palmer Hospital)
   Xmas Carols for the kids

Dec 22nd (The Social)
   Less Than Jake

Dec 29th (WMMO Downtown)
   Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

The last two are concerts I'll be at, but they might be on the meetup site as well before long.

The only excuse for not having an active social life in these days of the internet and meetup is that you do not really want one (or are just too shy to go out).

Get over it and get out of the house!

PS... If you are truly a happy hermit, enjoy yourself too!

open call for actors

Actors' Theatre (G.O.A.T.)
is proud to announce the open call for our first production:

The Odd Couple
by Neil Simon

This renowned comedy begins with a group of the boys assembled for cards in the apartment of a divorced fellow, and if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is another fellow who, they learn, has just been separated from his wife. Since he is very meticulous and tense, they fear he might commit suicide, and so go about locking all the windows. When he arrives, he is scarcely allowed to go to the bathroom alone. As life would have it, the slob bachelor and the meticulous fellow decide to bunk together with hilarious results. The patterns of their own disastrous marriages begin to reappear in this arrangement; and so this too must end.

Roles: The Odd Couple has total cast of 8 with 2 female roles and 6 male. All roles are available for casting.
Dates: June 12th and 13th at 7:00 PM.
