Some news.
I went to NYC this past weekend and auditioned for Juilliard.
Didn't get a call back.
Not bothered.
What an incredible experience. I have never met a more colourful, humble, and generous collection of students and faculty members. Going to the audition has given me much more respect for the school and their alumni. And for New York
My good friend offered me something to think about. She goes "If Juilliard wasn't in New York, would you still go?"
Quite frankly. I wouldn't.
The prestige and schooling that Juilliard would offer excites me, absolutely. But its that city that is the neon wig to the artists brain. It lurches with opportunity and equally so with the ability to burn you. But its the risk, and the luck that someone in that city might trust me with their script. Then by god, why not chase it. There's a point where you can be safe and smart, and then there's the necessity too need to be ruthless and courageous. Knowledge is important and so is skill, but if your not in a position and a place where luck can actually approach you, then your lost. Good training is the foundation, and then a profound understanding of the business is what lures chance. You need to know how to get there, you need to be at the lip of exposing yourself to a city that could be very dangerous but also grant you invaluable exposure and experience.
I have many more auditions to come. We'll see what happens.

Now I could bore you with what I ate, but i'm sure any sensible person has had cupcakes at magnolias. Instead, here's a new collection of fashion from complexgeometries. I was reaquainted with the designer when I stumbled into a small store in some god knows where location when my good friend (and Juilliard student) decided to take me on a tour of the city.
