ANNOUNCING - THE BEST SHOW ON WFMU JOB FAIR!!

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

"Ballet industry."  Heh heh heh.

[Jixby Phillips]

I would like to participate but I'm embarrassed

(I want to be a comedy writer, thats why)

Well, Jixby, you did do this comic, which is certainly nothing to be embarrassed by.
That said, yes, this opportunity is extra scary when one has comedic aspirations. (I'm likely to wuss out, too)

This sounds like a really cool experiment for the show, though, huh?  FOT hiring FOT.  I love it!

[Laurie]

Also, Dr. Katz, Professional Kitty Cat, makes me smile.

Ditto, Jixby, that comic is great!  Have you submitted it (or a non-notebook-paper version, though I actually like that about it) anywhere?

I'm trying to break into TV and comedy writing too (if I stand on my tippy-toes from the Comedy Central blogging gig I can sort of make out what the real staffers are eating for lunch) but I think I've suffered enough indignities from sending ignored desperate emails to playwriting colleagues who have gigs on cable series.  Plus TBSOWFMU is all about happiness and diversions and getting to be a disenfranchsed Jersey mutant for three hours every week - I don't want to risk any negative associations.

[Jixby Phillips]

You guys are too kind! Thanks, I haven't submitted this comic to anything except for my friends' approval. I'm so outside of  the entertainment industry and have no clue as to what I'm supposed to do in the way of submitting things. I'm just trying to make stuff I'm personally happy with.

[GetOffMyBone]

You got the job, Jixby Phillips

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Yeah, definitely.  It's good stuff.

[paul]

i need a job. im in.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

I actually have a real-life lead on a couple of arts administration (theater) jobs in NYC if anyone's interested.  I think some experience is necessary but it's a job for a relative young'un.  I'll call in if I think anyone's qualified (I'm not in a hiring position per se) or people can just PM me if they want more info.

I know this is a bit late, but I was wondering if Tom has done the Job Fair show yet or is it still being worked out?  If it's still in process, does anyone here know whether Tom is still taking people for the Job Fair?  I really need to find a new job, so any help would be great.  Thanks.

email him, it hasn't happened yet..

[Daryl]

Thanks for the info.

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has new information about the job fair.  I emailed Tom about this but he didn't get back to me yet, so I was curious if it was still happening.  Also, do you need to be an official Friend of Tom to be included in the job fair?  Is that a stipulation?  Thanks.

[paul]

you sound like you're going to have a nervous breakdown if tom doesn't help you get an actual job. calm down, buddy.
