Almost Famous

I know you guys have just been dying to know what I've been up to for the past couple of days. Well, wait no longer, my friends! When I first moved to Vegas, I signed up with a casting agency. I figured that I had no job and a ton of free time, so if someone needed me to go be on the set of CSI in the middle of the day, I was their gal. Needless to say, the days turned into nights and the nights turned into days, and I forgot all about it. Until I got an email last week asking if I was available for a commercial. Ummm, yeah! So I submitted myself for the commercial and didn't get called in for it. I was a tad bit sad, but in typical Edrei fashion, I forgot about it. Then, out of nowhere, I got another email this week asking if I was available on Friday night. Ummm, yeah! So I submitted myself for that project and got an email back immediately asking if I was available on Wednesday and Thursday for something different. Ummm, yeah!

I don't play poker at all, but a couple of my friends do and I'm semi familiar with how it all works. What I was not familiar with, was the North American Poker Tour. Apparently this tour had been going on since Wednesday and was being held at the Venetian. My job, for two days, was to be a seat filler at the tournament; this was so that the audience appeared full and attentive for the people watching it on ESPN. Who knows, you may have seen me.

There were lots of fun people there and it was definitely more like fun time than work. My job tonight should also be pretty fun. The qualifying round of NASCAR begins tonight and I will be there...getting paid. I know that this is not a speaking role on CSI, but it has to start somewhere, right. And for right now, I'm excited that I'm getting paid to have fun!
