The First Ever Meet Up @ Audition Update 01/23 1:34pm
The Audition Update Meet Up invites just went out. Did you get one? If your are registered to the site you did. They were sent to the email address you use to log in to the site with. Check those in-boxes.
Also, they are addressed to your username, which translates into some funny greetings. (I am looking at you USERNAME: poophead)
can I just say... I love that you're doing this. it's going to be a great networking opportunity and i really hope i don't have to work!
I didn't get one! (And I checked my spam folder.)
Got one, and I'm hoping to make it!
kateminola - I just sent it to you from my personal email account. The reason you did not get it is because, at some point, you opted out of receiving communication from our email hub.
LadyS - I am really excited too. Unlimited alcohol and a room full of extroverts. What could go wrong?
JP - excited to see you there.
I didn't get one either! Wah...
Oh noes! Thanks, I got the email, and am happy to opt in. ^_^
"Unlimited alcohol and a room full of extroverts. What could go wrong?"
That sounds like the premise for a great new comedy show. Someone pitch it and we can all play ourselves and get paid for it.
(Looking forward to the evening!)
janky- I just sent you one as well. However, our email hub is showing it as delivered but unopened, so check your spam.
I haven't gotten one!
LadyLuck - just sent you one. you too opted out of contact from our email hub. Let me know if you got it.
Didn't get one either...and nothing in my spam folder...hmmm weird
Didn't get one!
Please send?
Thank you! Got it.
Scarlett O'Hara & ActorGuy88
you are both opted out of communication from Backstage, which is why you didn't get one.
I have since sent you both the invite from another server.
This thing is going to be the best thing.
You bet your ass it is. Now everyone go an peer-pressure their friends into going.
...all the cool kids are doing it.
Hi, I didn't get one either. Not sure if I opted out of emails at some point but it's not in my spam. Would love an invite and I promise to peer pressure friends to go in return!!
Also didn't get one...
Would love to get one. Checked my email settings, and couldn't find out why it didn't go through. :(
Let me know! Thank you !!
Hey Tom-
Not sure if this is a yahoo! hiccup, but the ticket purchase link is unavailable to me...any chance you can just send me the URL so I can copy and paste?
I did get an invite. I'm a fool :)
Thanks and I'll be there!!
I'd like an email invite!!
I think I am making this harder than it need be.
If you are checking the site, than you are invited. Here is a copy of the invite to make everyone's life easier.
I wanted to personally invite you to the first ever Audition Update Meet Up.
Backstage is throwing a party and the only ones on the invite list are registered Audition Update users.
Come out and network with some of your fellow actors as well as special invited guests: casting director Michael Cassara and manger Alison Rinzel of AR Management. No monologues or 8-bar cuts at this event, just drinks, fellow industry folks, and good times.
Tickets are just $25.00 and includes an open wine and beer bar for the whole event. That means that this event is only for ages 21+.
Here are the details for the event:
Where: Professor Thom's - 219 2nd Ave, between 13th St. &14 St.
When: Tuesday, February 5th
Time: 7:00pm – 10:00pm

So come have a drink, chat up an industry pro, and have a great time.
I can’t wait to see you there.

p.s. Kudos to Tom and Michael Cassara for doing this. Woo!
JMC120 - Hogwash. Having toiled in the most noble of professions myself (drink jockey and order monkey) I made sure that I announced this in time for schedule requests. Just march right into your managers office and in your best Cartman impression, tell them, "Eh! Your gonna have to give me the night of Feb. 5th off because I have cooler things to do than this. Otherwise I'm gonna kick you in the nyuts."
That used to work for me.
So if the party starts at 7pm, what's the earliest time we can start a line for the party? And will you accept an unofficial list of attendees?
No unofficial lists will be honored. Please prepare a full musical selection which you will be asked to cut to 8 bars before you go in. Typing may occur.
Will you be giving callbacks itr? Or will I have bump a thread 8 times on callback corner before realizing I didn't book?
Yes, we'll see non-equity.
Wait. We won't see non-equity.
Wait. We're actually at Pearl 519.
Actually, we're typing.
(See you there!)
Was wondering (if it's known) if Professor Thom's is wheelchair accessible? Thanks!
I will find out.
I am sorry to report that the building is not wheelchair accessible. Is there anything that I can do to help accommodate you. There will be a few Backstage staff there and I am sure I, along with any of them would be happy to help get you upstairs in anyway that you feel comfortable. If there is something that I can do, email me through the contact page.
