So, I'm writing you from the SMFA tour in Orlando! But we've launched registration for the first-ever Six Weeks To LA program and the countdown is on! For those of you looking to get your tools LA-ready (whether you're moving here soon, prepping for the eventuality, or hoping to be your very best in your current market), this is a great application of the Self-Management for Actors principles, from your computer, on your own time, anywhere in the world! :) Yay!

								The Pervasiveness of Brand! I think we often forget how much we're bombarded by brand, daily. I'm not asking creatives to get hostile or over the top with their brand, but I am hoping that even--heck, especially--the most creative folks out there can find brilliant ways to just put their vibe out there, naturally. Jonathan Coulton, whose SHOP VAC vid is linked in the button above, showcases some of the most famous fonts that have permeated our world (along with his super-catchy song). If you think actors at the top tier are any different, you're missing the point. They are--by design--always on-brand. They're putting out into the world "brand them." Their every choice is run through The Brand Filter. The sooner you start doing that, the more consistent your flow... and your results. Trust.

1st Self-Management for Actors Seminar of 2012 in LA starts 1/18! Refine your mail options to get the right invitations, here. Master Class has moved online with the our Ninja Maintenance Program and this shit is ridiculously awesome. Weekly mentorship phone calls? Daily online support? Holy crapballs! So much fun!

SIX WEEKS TO LA is now open for registration, and will be for another week or so. :) So excited! Our ongoing 12-week SMFA program (for college credit or beyond) will open up later this month. Get A-Listed to be sure you hear about it all.

This space has become the big bonus section of each BonBlast, so I'mma tell y'all about a tool I've been using FOR YEARS to capture webpages that are unprintable or likely to go away (like, let's say, message boards where folks edit their posts, or a whole run of Facebook threads you'd like to keep before deleting them since Timeline is gonna make your whole life public--like it or not). It's an add-on (extension) called [toread.cc] and it's a handy Javascript bookmark you put in your Firefox toolbar, and then just HIT IT when you want to capture a page.

Guys, this shit is ninja. And free. I kid you not. You're welcome.

As a part of the SMFA Tours, I'll be doing free events with SAG Foundation in each city where there's a branch. The free event in Orlando is scheduled for January 13th! Thank you to Stacey Jackson and Kevin B. Hartley for pulling this together. So excited! :) Next up? Dallas. Then New Orleans... and more! Stay tuned! :)
