| Hey Friend. My name is Ryan. We met outside of the Background casting call for Hamlet II. I'm enclosing the story of what I had to go through to get to that audition last saturday. Regards, Ryan Pace Sat Sept 1. 2:00 pm. Audition is from 1 pm to 6 pm out by the airport. I live in the University area. I go out and try to start my car. It is dead. I have no idea why. It was fine yesterday. I pull a battery jumper out of my trunk and open the box. It is brand new. I've had it two months and never had to use it. Now, I'm glad I have it. I read the instructions and it says it has to be charged! Oh shit. I try it anyway, car jump starts. Great. I drive 2 minutes and the car dies. I have just spent 500 bucks getting repairs done on the car. It has had an electrical short for over a year that has the check engine light on. After the car got out of the shop the check engine light can back on two days later. Geez. So I jump out and rejump the car. I'm headed to my friends house. He has a bunch of tools and knows about cars so I'm going thataway. I take the slow roads across town as I don't want the car to die on me and my friend lives on Academy. I get on my friends street and his neighbor this old lady is pulling out of her driveway. I stop to wait, and murphy's law kicks in. The car dies and literally starts making a buzzing noise that sounds like screaming. I walk to my friends door, knock, he comes and helps me get the car into the driveway. I hang out and talk about the issue with him and his roommate. I hook the jumper up to the socket so it can charge. I'm gonna need it I'm sure. So I head out and start looking at the car. The issue seems to be an electric component shorting out and draining the battery. I find the buzzing is electrical and is coming from a specific component under the dash. I remove the component, charge the battery by running the car and get ready to head out. This whole process takes about 2 hours. It also decided to rain while I was doing it. After getting it together, I think, I head out only to have the car die on san mateo. I successfully get it jumped again and then head out toward the airport. It is 4:30 pm I am concerned I won't make the audition then I realize that it is until 6:00 not 5:00. Great. I manage to make it to the Holiday Inn Select and go through the audition process. If it weren't from some really cool other guys, i.e. you guys I wouldn't have been able to get my car started to get home! I love the movies and the people who work for them! |
