Watching "Breakfast with Hunter" tonight. What an amazing intellect. Watching Johnny so nervous is almost painful..
What painful?
Speaking of painful... here's the story....
A Night at the Fizz
Sometimes opportunities pop up when least expected and you have to decide whether to take advantage of it or not. When I heard that there would be an extras casting call for the movie, “Public Enemies” in Chicago last week, I knew I had to try out. A few days later the news of a second casting call for swing dancers was announced. It was a bit of a daunting idea, but I decided to make the trip into Chicago on a Thursday night. As the days came closer to the date, I ran into a few hurdles, one of which was transportation. On the verge of giving it a miss, a friend encouraged me to stay the course. The next day I discovered a co-worker was interested in going to the casting call as well which solved the problem and made it all the more enjoyable.
The casting announcement encouraged participants to “get into the mood” and dress according to the period. I found a hairdresser who did my hair in fingerwaves and I put together a wardrobe of sorts and practiced my dancing. Thursday night we headed down to Chicago and finally found the Fizz Bar and Grill on Lincoln Ave, not far from the famous Biograph Cinema where John Dillinger was gunned down. The place was small and people had already begun to line up in various types of dress from jeans and t-shirts to period costume. Linda and I were about the only ones who had gone so far as to do the 1930’s hair however. While we waited, we completed the information cards and stapled our headshots to them.
Soon we were allowed upstairs to a room with a dance floor. More people were crowded around the room waiting. Soon the casting company director, Joan Philo and her assistant, Clare, stood up and announced the procedures for the auditions: Turn in the card and photo, pin a sign with your name on your chest, have a picture taken (no smiling please), then wait in another line until it is your turn in front of the camera. Yep, they were filming the dancing to provide to the movie’s director, Michael Mann. He would make the final determination of about 200 people to be in the film.
While in line we chatted with several other people, mostly couples. Keep in mind swing dance is a couple’s dance, however some did not have partners, Linda and I being two. There were also many professional dancers and members of swing dance clubs who were rather intimidating, but we were determined to hang in there and give it our best shot. Soon it was our turn. There were 4 areas marked on the floor and as the cameras rolled, you were to move from mark to mark - the 3rd mark was directly in front of the camera. Summoning up our courage, we walked to the dance floor. The music was rather slow, more for couples dancing, but I made the most of it, pretending someone was swinging me under “his” arm, etc.
After we finished we quickly got our things and headed for the downstairs bar and chatted for a little while, then made our way home. In the car we chatted about a lot of things, including her frustration with her home life and not having time for herself. Her culture being a bit different (she is from Eastern Europe), she was almost giddy about the evening. It was one of those moments when you don’t know if you will be ridiculed or not, but I went ahead and mentioned that I too had been venturing into new avenues, different activities, taking advantage of opportunities as they presented themselves – all because of Johnny’s influence. I waited a moment... and she surprised me by agreeing and we spent the rest of the trip home talking about him and Vanessa (surprised as I had spoken to her previously about Johnny and Vanessa and she spoke rather negatively about them).
Anyway, it was an interesting evening and even though it may not come to anything, at least we can say we tried our best, and we had fun. Okay, Michael, did we make the cut?
It's been a long week, laydees and no matter what it was an adventure and now -- even though I'd love to indulge more with you... I think I have a need to find somewhere to lie down for awhile.
Got lots to do
to ready for the VIP at my house ---BTW the VP was at the base today.. dunno why... $$ before the end of the year... mayhaps... secret service telling our folks to "move your vehicles"... I know where he is tonight.. .... but if that doesn't peak your interest...
I know where HE is tonight... sleep softly (and party hearty) my love.
SJDs all.
Don't forget to let the cat out...
