3/18/09 - Wednesday - Per Aunt Danielle's request we went to LA Ink and took a shot inside the reality TV show home base for LA INK. There was a lady getting a tattoo as you can see in the picture. No TV Cameras and no sighting of Kat Von D(the lead character). It is a cool shop with lots of entertaining decor. I hope you enjoy the picture Aunt Danny. Thank you for the encouraging comments in the blog we love and miss you and you family. The start of this week has been dead for us. There has been some action for some roles in pilots but unfortunately they are asking for kids in the 8-9 year old range. I have heard that the end of pilot season is supposed to be the best action for kids roles because they usually cast the adults first and then cast the kids to match the adults. This is a crazy business that can't be evaluated. There is no telling what age, size, ethnicity, or personality they are looking for from season to season. For all you know you can come out and not be a match for what they happen to looking for at that current time. There is a lot of luck involved but you have to be prepared when you get you chance. We are grateful for the amount of print and commercial auditions we have had but we are very frustrated with the amount of theatrical auditions which is why we came out. We have a great team in place(Hines & Hunt and AKA Talent Agency)that are fighting for those auditions but they can only book what Hunter matches up for. Unfortunately there hasn't been any pilots calling for Hunter's match yet. They are working on some possibilities which we are awaiting word on. The most frustrating thing is that we are missing out on audition experience since our expectations to book a pilot are far less than the experience gained in the auditions. Please pray for Hunter's match in upcoming pilots and theatrical auditions. Thank You for your prayers.

Yeah, I am so glad you found it and got to stop in!!! I bet it is not as busy when the shows not taping. Because when they film the show they are always busy. It's neat to see hunter in the studio though! One day he will be one of there "famous" people coming in to get a tat from Kat Von D herself!!! Her place is pretty neat though, isn't it? Thanks for going, I look forward to hearing more about it later:) All my love and prayers,
