I got the part as the 'Fox" that I auditioned for....

So, I just got the call last night from Director, Nick regarding the part I auditioned for as the "Fox" in Pinoccio. I was under the impression that was going to be seen at one theatre only in midtown. But after reviewing the show dates (and locations) this is going to be a traveling show, mostly to local schools and nursery's. No complaints, it's just not what I expected.
But for now, I have work out a schedule with the other person playing the Fox, Megan when I'm not available, this way, we can both attend to our other jobs on the side and still do this play.
Will have the details and locations soon so if you want to attend, you can.

Oh, yeah, I'm back in NYC and my trip was fast, mostly because I was asleep through most of it. Took the 4:30am and got in town just before 1pm and now I am ready to Celebrate News Years tonight with some of my bestest friends.
Video and pics of that most likely tomorrow. lol.

Ciao,

While Visiting my Hometown

Seems how it's the holidays and all, I decided to visit the fam in Buffalo, NY instead of having them visit me in NYC as they did last year (Just to be fair). So, let me start off with how this whole vacation started off..
First, I was originally supposed to leave the city on Friday, but then a snow storm hit most of the Northeast, especially Buffalo. So I waited till Saturday, all clear. But when I get back to town, the following day, another snow storm hits and I'm stuck in my parents house for the first two full days with no way out. Not that I dislike my family, but I would of liked the option to escape for awhile for at least a coffee or something.
Well, then their is the X-Mas Eve and X-Mas Day celebrations, that wasn't so bad, I could used some more booze instead of the weak ones my cousins husband kept making at his home bar.
But, my real awkwardness was just last night when bar hopping with my old friend, James. Things were fine and no runs ins until we went to the fourth venue, known as the Underground in Downtown Buffalo. We walked right in, with no problem, no one really looked familiar to me, then I decided to go to the dance floor and shake my ass. This is when I started to see people from the past walk in. The first was my ex, ex roommate, ex boyfriend from 10 years ago, Darren, I try to avoid him after he almost had us thrown out of our apartment two years for not paying the landlord not only his money, but MY MONEY that I gave to him for her. Plus his drug problem and random strange men that he always invited into our place was also an issue too. So I played it off, like "oh yeah, how are ya" and kept doing my thing.
When it came time to use the restroom, I ran into one of Darren's old ex's, Rich, who I also never got along with because he always had an attitude problem and caused unnecessary scenes in public places. So he was drunk off his ass last night and Darren walked in right behind me to talk to Rich, when I come back to the sink, Rich's now ex, Brandon (who I also didn't want to ever see again) walks in looks at us and tries to leave, but, I was like "hey, remember me?" and he was in one of his moods and was like "yeah, hi Giovanni", made a look and walked out.
BUT, this wasn't the end, then I walked back out to the main floor where James was hanging out at a table and as soon as I got there, an ex of mine and a guy I made out with many years ago were walking by. The make out guy, kept walking with no notice, but the ex did see me and just shook my hand and kept walking. Kind of funny, since he JUST added me as a friend on myspace a week ago.
This is when I turned over to James and was like "Ready when you are". And bounced.

I was originally planning on recording some of this, but it was too loud and bad lighting inside, but I did record alittle in the car on the way to the Underground with James and his friend Philip.

Enjoy!

Gio's World, December 26th. 2008

Hello All,

I am currently working on ideas, places and guest to feature on my new Reality Show , "GIO'S WORLD" coming to YouTube.com this January of 2009. Some of what we have so far are of my Holiday vacation in Buffalo, NY . I know , who vacations in Buffalo, especially in the winter?, but it's where I was born and my parents and old friends are still there. So, you'll see me harrasing my old friends and making them say nice things about me on camera as well as a bet that I most likely wont follow through and most likely this guy wont follow through on his bet either.
Interviews will be of celebrities I know and those new to my circle at various locations, the interviews will be fun, personal, and outrageous, or at least we'll try.
With our cheap budget, this will only be viewed on YouTube.com and the camera may be shaky, so deal with it!

COMING IN JANUARY 2009, STAY TUNED FOR EXACT DATES!
