MY BIG RUBBER BUTT; Adventures of a transgendered comic. Part 4

I had a pillow on my face when the phone rang. I could hear everything around me, but my vision was filled with pillow. Except for the phone I was holding under the pillow, and the sound of my voice as I spoke to the person on the other end, it would have looked like I'd been smothered by anyone entering the room.

It was NBC/Universal casting, in NYC. And, they wanted me to come in and read for a small part on 30 Rock.

The pillow hit the floor, as I sat straight-up in bed.

That was late Friday. By Monday, I was back in the city.

If this were a filmed, the beat would kick-in at this point followed by a great montage of NYC sights -especially, Rockefeller Center. You'd see me arriving, just like Mary Tyler Moore,in The tv series the Mary Tyler Moore show would, when she emerged from her apartment building -throwing her hat into the air. Only, in this case, I'd be holding my nose.

That would immediately be followed by shots of me and Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Alex Baldwin and Judah Freedlander, as we made all manner of faces at each other as our Names popped-up under our faces, in a visually stunning, yet light and jovial way.

It would be a wonderful Cinderella story.

Instead, it turned-out to be a lot more interesting.

It was a great two day adventure that took me all over town with Debbs. It was my first trip into 30 Rockefeller Center, as well as the casting offices of NBC/Universal, and my flirtation with the NBC television show 30 ROCK.

And,for some reason, Elvis fits into this.
