Morning Fix: Casting Call - Vampires Needed

"Fright Night" is being remade with Albuquerque standing in for Las Vegas, NV. Even better, Colin ~~Farell~~ Farrell has signed on to star as the vampirely neighbor. They're casting now for extras including Las Vegas showgirls and ... vampire types.
Rodent infestation at local Smith's Grocery Store. There's no indication of what kind of rodent, so here's some handy-dandy rodent information for your perusal. I'm thinking they're probably nutrias. Or maybe jerboas?
Craftastic! The New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair opens Friday.
The New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program is looking for small businesses that could benefit from technical assistance from Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories researchers.

Also, more on Farrell's gig.

Comment by Kelly on June 24, 2010 at 9:02am: David Tennant in the flick, too. Go Dr. Who!

Colin Farrell? COLIN FARRELL?! Pant, pant, pant...

Comment by once banned twice shy on June 24, 2010 at 9:45am: Oh, and the rodents at Smiths are mice. Mousie in the housie.

Comment by Barelas Babe on June 24, 2010 at 10:15am: From the casting call link:

They are looking for some specific types too, including 18+ year olds to look like younger high school students, 16 to 17 year olds, various high school clique types: nerds, jocks, cheerleaders, asians, stoners, etc.

Anyone else think it was odd that the only ethnicity singled out here is "Asians"?

Comment by once banned twice shy on June 24, 2010 at 11:17am: I think it's odder they think "Asians" are a high school clique type. Maybe it's a California thing. Doogie--you're our resident California expert. Any insight?

Comment by John on June 24, 2010 at 12:50pm: Dr. Who's coming to Albuquerque?!?! *fan squeal* Someone better post some David Tennant sightings here on DCF...

I was an Asian my sophomore year of high school.

Comment by Granjero on June 24, 2010 at 6:49pm: I just don't see Farrell in that role. As I recall, the vampire neighbor from the original was kinda the charming the type not so much the idiot type.
