oh, well hello

I can sort of taste a career beginning to form in my life [a career in performance that is], mostly because I finally graduated from college [600 years later..] but also because I just have that feeling pulling at my gut. As of tomorrow I will be going to a rehearsal for a reading of a new rock musical that is trying to get off the ground, by showcasing in front of New York and Boston producers and backers. Very glitzy and glamorous really.. Despite this huge rise to fame, I am still, as of yet, employed at a restaurant and not a paid performer by trade [well, first check comes on Monday] but that's not the point. I can feel New York pulling me in, sort of like the big polls they used to use on vaudeville.. except this is actually a good sort of pole pulling me. Yes, yes, New York is very expensive and I can't vault myself into stardom my first week there, but I certainly can't find a way to be a working actor here in Boston. There are a few important things keeping me here in my home state, but they can't hold me here for too long. Thanks to the wonders of the internet I can see what my fellow alums from OCU are up to, and it is all very much something I can be a part of once I get my self over there.
Until that happens, however, I am content in doing whatever gigs I can get here in beantown whilst I also work on marketing myself.. I have created a webpage [insert applause] which to me, seems the beginning of a professional career that can only gain in momentum. So what if the only hits my site has gotten are from my Mom and my housemates.. that's irrelevent. Eventually it will be flooded with teenager wanna-be's and their moms. Until then, www.andyfontaine.com is my own personal masterpiece. Once I have some professional credits worth bragging about, they will make their way onto the site and things can only go up from there.
Anyway, it's always fun to stumble upon my own blog and decide to add to it.
