Un Deux Trois

So I have been muttering these three words since the new year. I am not sure why they come to mind so often these days. They seem to be muttered when there is a kismet of knowledge or thought pertaining to my direction in life.

In the recess of my mind I am reminded of an evening in NYC, while with my friend Dwayne, when we went to Cafe Un Deux Trois after watching a performance of Cabaret at Studio 54. We went to see the show after getting a few tickets from his friend Scott, who was working on the show. It was a whirlwind night with show, backstage tour and then the cafe. We ended sitting near Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick who were working some other show. Great night.

That was over ten years ago and I currently find myself working at a theater in San Luis Obispo, CA. How I got here is a long story. Now I find myself looking at moving back to MA. I recently applied to a casino in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun. They have preferential hiring for card carrying Native Americans, which I am. I should have a phone interview in a few days.

Applying online was more of a whim than a plan. I was surprised that a call came to me the morning after I sent in my application. A few phone calls to Canada, and presto, I'm a legit Indian in the eyes of Mohegan Sun.

Now the big question. What if they offer me a job?

Same work, I think, that I do now. Lighting mostly with other duties as assigned. Same pay, more or less. Closer to my family, which is important for me and one of the main reasons that I thought about looking into work back East. Lots of people here that I would be sorry to say good bye to.

Stay tuned!
