Entry #144

I auditioned to be the new lead singer of Inxs! Yep, they held open call auditions at CBGBs today; well actually this morning and I went! I sang Left with the Queen and played guitar and I also sang Half Moon (not by Janis Joplin but, made famous by her). It was fun. The guys from Inxs were there auditioning us as well as Barry Barnett who produces a bunch of shows for CBS including Survivor. Cool huh?! Half of making it in show business or in life for that matter is just showing up. I showed up and did my very best at what I do. I have been playing a lot down in the subway so I felt really on as far as my presentation and my guitar playing. I met a bunch of very interesting people who were also auditioning. They came from all over; Hawaii, the Bronx, D.C., upstate New York, BROOKLYN! I did not feel nervous; I just focused on entertaining them and making eye contact with the camera. They were also filming the audition for a show that they are creating for CBS so I might get on TV!  This week members of my band and I are playing at a party at a place called Orchids. I look forward to going back to New Mexico in June. Our friends are getting married! I wore the vest that I got there today for the audition. It is such a beautiful vest; I probably wrote about it somewhere in this journal.. It is leather with fringe and beadwork and bone. I love it. Alright you who is reading this! Life is good over here although very cold and snowy. I wish you much happiness!   Jessica
