Well, dear readers, today’s notes will be short because today is short notes day. Conversely, today’s announcement will also be brief. I found it interesting, especially in lieu of yesterday’s announcement, that the news didn’t appear anywhere else on the Internet, especially at either of the two big (or so they think) chatspots. Which is what I’ve been saying all along – this is where it’s happening, this is where it’s at, this is the only place to be in with the in crowd, ahead of the game, aknee of the lagging throng, with it, the coolest, the ginchiest, in the know and in the fast lane. Let those others go along thinking they know what is happening, let them read their announcements after the fact on playbill.com or broadway.com or wherever the official press release appears – but just remember, dear readers, you heard it here first.
The other reason these here notes must be short is because I am leaving shortly, for a short trip to Santa Clara – sort of a last minute thing for the TV show I start working on on Monday. Isn’t that exciting? Isn’t that just too too?
But I shall have my handy-dandy laptop computer with me and will check up on the activity from time to time, plus write the weekend notes.
But for now, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below so I can wrap these brief notes up.
Has anyone noticed how brief these fershluganah notes are? Well, how about a brief announcement? Very well then. My lunch meeting of this week was a very interesting one. It was a very preliminary discussion, but one that I think will come to our new favorite word – fruition. I’m taking baby steps, however, for obvious reasons, and nothing would happen as regards this brief announcement until mid-next year at the earliest (I suppose something could happen sooner, but as I said – baby steps). So, I will tell you, dear readers, that this meeting was about the possibility of starting up a brand spanking new label. That is all I can say at this time, oh, yes, that is all I can say at this time. I will tell you that the party that I lunched with seems to want to do this but all the details would have to be worked out very clearly and methodically for me to want to go down that road. So, keep your fingers crossed and I will let you know the progress of things a little further down the line.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must prepare for my brief sojourn, I must pack a brief overnight bag and be on my merry way. Today’s topic of discussion: Since someone asked me this yesterday, I shall ask it today: What is the most recent play or musical you’ve seen and what did you think of it? I answered yesterday, so today it’s your turn.
