A Clear Channel - Day 89

My Mother's Day gift was a hit!! Thanks to my dear friend Danny who recommended a store called Things Remembered, I got an awesome gift for my mom and she loved it. I ordered it online and it looked pretty nice, but when I saw it in the actual store I was really impressed. Personalized, gift wrapped, shipped and delivered all in one week. I can't believe how many times I passed that store in the mall and never even looked in. I'm not much of a shopper anyway. I usually go to stores with only what I'm looking for in mind. I don't really window shop. I'm trying to enjoy it more especially clothes shopping and I think I'm getting better or at least more interested. I love to spend money but not fond of shopping. Huh?
Got a couple of small projects done around the house today then went to my friend Andrea's comedy show scouting new comics and supporting some friends who went up tonight. I escaped going on stage by drinking some wine. I don't drink and joke. Sometimes I just want to be a guest and be entertained. It is nice to be asked though and to have audience members excited to see you hoping you're in the show. I had a good time. I promoted Laugh-A-Latte and recruited a couple of new comics. I also made an appointment with a new client for Ask Stage Mom.
Now I think I'll unwind by either watching a movie or Celebrity Apprentice.

A Clear Channel - Day 87

After 25 years in show business here in "Hollywood" I've finally decided following through on requests I have been getting for years about turning my knowledge and experience into a business. I have secured the domain name for Ask Stage Mom, a coaching service for anyone who wishes to get into the business or take their show business career to the next level. It is ideal for actors, writers, comics and solo show performers. Today I met with a writer who is working on his solo show. He has a meeting with a prominent director on Monday and wanted me hear his show, edit and punch up some jokes. We were both happy with the results and I'm excited to hear how his meeting goes on Monday.
Following the meeting, I met with my walking buddy Kim, and we took our 3 mile walk around the golf course in Cheviot Hills. There are some beautiful homes over there and we saw a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 1 pool home for rent for $6,400. a month!!! What kind of job or career does one need to have to be able to afford that and why? Needless to say, when they do the open house, we will be "all up in there" just to be nosy. Stay tuned.
