I'm so shocked that the Colts won! This is their first time to win a Super Bowl as the Indianapolis Colts. The first time they were the Baltimore Colts.
Anyway! The welcome parade downtown was amazing! We didn't go because we didn't know about it until the last minute. We watched it on tv and I swear it was three hours long. I wonder if it was on ESPN Sports.
PayPerPost still hasn't looked at my post and I submitted it on January 29. I'm about to email them about it.
I found a cheaper acting school down the street from me. I've decided that since it costs only $150 and John Robert powers contract ends on February and JRP costs $1,450 which I cannot afford at all, I'm going to forget about JRP and go to the cheaper school. I can't wait til it all gets situated. I wish I had found the cheaper school a year ago instead. Then, I wouldn't have to wait for so long. The school is called The Creative Talent Workshop.
Here's the problem that I had with John Robert Powers and The Crawford Agency, my management.
Ok, my management said that they would give me a lot of services, including media relations, talent/publicist representation, product introductions, website design, media interviewing and crisis management. (I think crisis management is what solves problems and such.) I got none of that. All I got was a ton scripts, which I'm entirely thankful for, but I needed a lot more than just that. I didn't get anywhere with them. When I first signed with them, they took my pictures and told me to email them to get the pictures, then would put them on the website. So, I did and they never replied! I emailed them about it about five times. So, several months went by, and I suddenly stopped getting scripts. Why? Because they didn't have a picture of me. How? I have no idea. Maybe they lost it? So, I emailed them and they told me that I need to send them a picture of myself. They send pictures to the casting directors, the casting directors pick possible candidates for the project, then that's how I get scripts to audition for. Well, since I never had the money to get my pictures done, I never sent one in. Therefor, I haven't gotten scripts since September. Now, my contract with them will end on the same day as my contract with JRP. In shorter terms, they didn't help at all. They should've helped me pay for JRP, since it was part of my contract.
What does that have to do with JRP? When I signed with both, they were working together. I think TCA (The Crawford Agency) was JRP's sponser. My contract with TCA said that I had to take 20 weeks of training with JRP in order for them to represent me. I found that kind of unfair, but went with it because I thought it was the only thing closest thing to Hollywood in Indianapolis. If only I had known about The Creative Talent Workshop, I would've dropped the offer.
My only problems with JRP is that it's way too expensive, they don't take payments and they don't give classes until you pay the whole thing. I like them, but geez they really should be fair.
So, I'm going to forget about JRP and The Crawford Agency and go to the school down the street. I'll be glad because it'll be a big worry off of my back. What's better is that the cheap school offers the same kind of services AND they teach you! They even help you look for and sign with agents and they teach you how to do so. ^.^ I'm really looking forward to it.

I hate it when the people responsible for big projects and other people are irresponsible. It's so frustrating and annoying! I'm glad you're not taking it anymore. Good luck at the new place! ^-^
BTW: I'm still amazed every time I comt to your site--it's so pretty! XD
