1 - Is there a help_haiti-type community for the Pakistan floods?

2 - I'm thinking of trying out for yet another Midsummer Night's Dream, as I need to get back on the horse and even if I'm not fond of the play, I do love Puck. Now. It's bad form to try to pre-cast yourself by auditioning with a monologue from the show, but... I already know them. It's worth it to go and Puck it up, right, rather than trying to find something else?

2a - Have any of you done film auditions? What sort of monologue do you prepare for one of those?
