Did I Hear Someone Say They're Looking For Some Opportunities?

There's nothing I like doing more than sharing events and information, and

helping people to network and expand their opportunities. I like it so much, I made it my business! In today's digest, we've got two castings, a call for artists info line via Twitter.com and a focus group. Go get 'em, tigers (and tigresses, but I digress).
