This event WILL sell out ... because there's only 108 seats
Oops. Last week, I meant to post a little shout-out and free advertising to my buddy, Sebastian, and his next gig, but I procrastinated and here we are. I'm not sure if I've mentioned him here before, but Seb's an actor-guy that I met at my-job-before-my-last-job. (Hope that makes sense.) I call him "actor-guy" because he's one of the first, and believe it or not, few L.A. transplants I've met who actually came out to La-La-Land to take a shot at this crazy business called show. I guess I was expecting to meet a lot more wannabe actors when I came out here, but I think I've met far more people who want to work behind-the-scenes than in front of the camera.
Anyway, actor-guy recently joined/was accepted under duress by the Theatre Unleashed group to come and frolick upon the stage for the amusement and bemusement of others. Look it up if you don't know what it means. And Theatre Unleashed is putting on a show tonight over at the M Bar in Hollywood. I've never been to the M Bar, and when I tried to call and make reservations, they returned my voicemail with some confusing directions on reserving a table for up to 7 people. Hmmm. Weird.
So, I don't know if I'll even be able to get in to see the show. This is one of the many reasons why I don't like talking to people for the sake of purchasing something. Don't even get me started on my strict avoidance of Farmers Markets. A couple of Seb's other buddies are going to be there, so hopefully if the doorman gives me any trouble, I can snag a chair at their table. Wish me luck. Well, I guess it would be better to wish him luck. :-) The show starts at 8pm, so I'm leaving work around 6:30pm to beat the traffic and find a parking spot. Here's hoping it goes off without a hitch.
Oh yeah, btw. Theatre Unleashed put up a few YouTube commercials to advertise the show, and Sebastian is featured in one of them. That's him pontificating on the wonders of poetry. Yep, he's a doofus. I like his scream at the end. So very girly.
