If I am interested in submitting for roles in NYC--who else has bins outside of their casting offices?

Most of the CDs in NYC will take them. Ross Reports has all of their addresses. Good luck!

Hey BK,

get yourself the new pair of shoes actors get when they move to the city. Check out the actor's fund. If you are a memember of AEA I think (or your used to) get 40 buck for the pair of shoes you are going to wear out making the rounds.

Good luck. I think there is something magical about the time when you are fresh and new to the city.

Seriously? I never got $40 for a pair of shoes! Wonder if that's an offer that's still good!

i agree with what the others said. Also, consider going with a friend or two, to me it makes the process a little more enjoyable. Like was said, dont limit yourself to the ones that have a bin. Yes, there is going to be some office that isnt too keen on the dropoff, but there will be plenty of others that welcome you with a smile.

You can buy distribution lists in geographical order so you can walk from one place to another
