    The Ellen Show

    Loyal and generous backers!

    I'm sure you've heard by now, but I'm so excited to share my next step for Missed Connections Live.

    I want to get Missed Connections Live on The Ellen Show!

    For those of you who don't know, Ellen has a segment where she highlights the best of Craigslist. What a perfect fit!

    I'm currently working on a pitch video to send to her people. In the meanwhile, here's how you can help...

    You have 4 choices
    1. Twitter
    (http://twitter.com/theellenshow)
    2. Facebook
    (http://www.facebook.com/home.php...)
    3. Ellen Show Website
    (http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/respond/...)
    4. All of the above!

    Take 2 minutes to share your favorite episode of Missed Connections Live and why she should have me on the show! Keep sending in your post, even if it is the same one, once a week. If it is one thing I've learned, it's persistence!

    You guys rock :-)

    In other news....for those of you who requested Missed Connections Live T-shirts, get psyched (and send your size request and address to monkey@lbmproductions.com).

    Signing out...

    When Morty Met Esther is in NextTV's acting competition

    During the call-for-entries period of the NexTv ACTING & DIRECTING TALENT SEARCH that I'm participating in, there is a monthly viewer's choice "Shortcut to the Finals". The top vote-getter each month gets a pass to the finals of the overall competition (still ongoing). The list of industry heavy-weights involved is long (ICM, ?The Office?, casting for Peter Jackson and many more) so getting to the finals is extremely significant.

    Here is how to vote:

    1. Go to www.nextventertainment.com/talent
    2. Click on the big tab at the bottom left of the page that says, "Shortcut to the Finals"
    3. Type in my name (first or last) in the search bar on the right just above the list of submissions
    4. Click on WATCH.
    5. Then click on VOTE.

    Vote away!!

    All best,

    Melissa
