Fringe Squared Comes Around
Tonight is the first night of Fringe. Alternative housing arrangements were found for the two artistts who were supposed to stay with me. (whew!) The press for this is sooo huge this year and I feel so honored to be a small part of the staff that makes this huge thing happen.
Yippee!
The day after Fringe I apparently start my new job, as the Cincinnati rep for Pabst Blue Ribbon, which essentially means it's my job to network and hob-nob with everyone in the local arts and music scenes (which I already do for my own benefit), sponsor bands, throw parties and give people free beer. The contract is through February at $300 a week. If I can make any freelance work fly even a little, this could be my OUT of the restaurant industry. (my rent is only $375, mind you.) Finished my music demo last week (link to my website to check it out) and am more than halfway through my first book proposal. Sitting behind the Fringe Box Office desk for the next twelve days will hopefully prove a fabulous way to sit still and send out mass mailings of voice over/music demos and work on the book thing. Plus three different article submissions were sent out yesterday....
Here's hoping someone will bite!!!
It's an interesting place to be: on the crux of giving up the day job for freelancing. I've turned down so much freelance work in the past two months in order to wait tables...I can only hope I didn't miss my window.
The wind is blowing.
Change is inevitable.
I hope to find I'm riding with the wind and not against it.
