:(

Maybe we'll need you to work some magic for the rest of us.

Anyway, my lights just flickered, so I'm not sure I should stay online. Stupid storms.

Why did you get to go?

Could be because she set up the website. Either way, what a wicked opportunity. I really need to a.) meet someone famous, b.) do something awesome, or c.) become famous so that I can one day have these sorts of special privvies lol

The entertainment business is extremely competitive. But I agree, the dirty jobs that no one will accept are really the ones you should accept, even with the bad hours and pay. It will get your name out there, and you will get experience. On top of that if you can handle the worst then you'll feel great going into better relaxed and organized jobs. I really would love to work in the entertainment business but the chances of me packing up and going to LA or NY by myself are slim to nothing unfortunately. Maybe though I might actually wrap up the courage to do so. But all the hard work in the end will pay off and be rewarding in the end.

I'm so happy for you, Castle Admin, that you got the on-set visit – I'm sure it was a privilege because you do the website so beautifully!  I can agree with you and the others who said that it's not a common thing — you don't just decide to visit a set!

I've worked in the entertainment business for many years now – I write magazine articles but beyond that have co-produced radio, tv, etc.,, as well as written for tv – my significant other is a famous psychic – so I've been "around" — it's not that easy to get into the business but don't get discouraged, either.  It's tremendously hard work but very rewarding.  You have to love it, though, because it's exhausting.  Good luck to any of you aspiring to it.  Oh, another thing?  In between shows, assignments, etc., you're essentially "unemployed", so you have to be prepared for that, too!

Enough about that – can't wait to hear all the details about the set visit.  May I ask one question?  Where do they tape?  I'm thinking of trying to interview Susan Sullivan (have met and interviewed her before but only briefly) for a magazine I work for, but wasn't sure where they taped.  Maybe you don't want to give out the info – does the site have a private message feature where you could let me know?  If I'm asking too much, I'll back off and find my way to her to ask for the interview – just thought I'd ask. 

Oh, I know I have to get to the publicist, agent, etc.  Just wondered if they were filming locally so it wouldn't be too difficult to get there.  I have an inquiry already in to contact the publicist, so will keep everyone posted if the interview works out, providing my editor wants to do the profile, of course!
