Monday I went up to San Francisco. I forgot how busy the city can be on a weekday. I much prefer the weekends. I even went late (after 11 am), and there were lots of people walking around. I went up there to go to a casting agency for free photos. The agency posts casting for extra work. I think most people would be surprised by the number of movies and commercials that are shot here. Even I am surprised. I’m sure you wonder how I found out about this. Well, I can thank Mr. O for the information. It sounded interesting, so really on a whim, I signed up. Why not? It might be fun.
I’m not very fond of the photos on the site, so I will get some other ones at some point. Right now I ‘m working on finding a photographer who is willing to trade for a CD. I would really like to get photos taken at the studio where my son and I had photos taken a few years ago, but he’s a bit on the expensive side. Well worth the money, but spending $500 on photos isn’t in my budget.

So SF on a Monday… I saw a guy walking a large, hairy black cat on a leash. Now, I see dogs all over, but this is the first time I saw a cat. The cat didn’t even seem spooked by the cars. My cats freak out over cars and sirens. I also drove by the place where I have to take my son to a seminar at the end of the month. I didn’t see any parking even though the map shows parking nearby. I couldn’t find any parking this morning except on the street (which probably was sheer dumb luck). I really hate driving in SF because you can never make a right or left turn because of all the pedestrians. They can be pretty aggressive too, if–god forbid–your car sticks out into the crosswalk.

Taking the train up to SF isn’t necessarily convenient. I can say I’m not looking forward to Friday morning traffic to SF. I wonder how long it will take. I will have to keep you posted if I get any film, commercial or print work. Keep your fingers crossed.
