THE WORKING SUNDAY

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, here it is, Sunday, and I must once again hurry through these here notes. Yes, you heard it here, dear readers, I must once again hurry through these here notes. I had forgotten just how much I don’t like working on weekends, but this is the only time that will happen so I guess it’s okay. We’ll just call this The Lost Weekend and be done with it. Unfortunately, I a sworn to secrecy at this point as regards the show I’m working on, but I can only tell you I met some very interesting folks this weekend and saw some very interesting things. Isn’t that enigmatic? Isn’t that just too too?

I must tell you that the food in this here hotel we are staying in is amongst the worst I have ever eaten. The sports bar was bad enough, but last night we ate in their fancy shmancy restaurant and had something called Risotto with sweet corn and mushrooms. It was disgusting, but we were all so hungry we sat there and ate it. We ate it and then we paid for it and let me tell you what it cost for three of us to eat that hideous glob – with tip: $180. That was for three risottos, three Caesar salads and three sides of sautéed vegetables (they didn’t really have sautéed vegetables – they just did some corn and mushrooms on a plate and called it sautéed vegetables), one glass of wine, a Diet Coke and an Iced Tea. Thank goodness it wasn’t my dime or I would have rasied a stink. I would have raised a stink by throwing up in the middle of their restaurant.

Well, that was a pleasant paragraph, wasn’t it? I do believe we should all just click on the Unseemly Button below before I continue along those lines.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike working on the weekends? But I shall be on a plane home at 5:45, and snug inside my very own home shortly thereafter. And then up bright and early the following day to begin the real part of this new job. And then off to break the Yom Kippur fast. But I shall do it and I shall do it willingly and hopefully well.

Don’t forget, Donald will have a brand spanking new radio show up this very evening, so do tune in – perhaps Donald will even tell us what in tarnation it is about.

Here is something interesting that happened at another musical theater board: Dear reader Craig posted something about The First Nudie Musical announcement I’d made, and immediately someone who didn’t have one single post on that board (and who has not had one single post since – nor did he respond to any responses, naturally) made a negative comment. Several people went in and castigated him for it, including myself (I, of course, castigated in a nice way – in other words, I didn’t call him a butt cheek). Now, how many people here find that suspicious? Let us raise our hands. Isn’t it ridiculous when people who may have other things on their “minds” feel they have to do this? It is highly doubtful that the gentleman had actually ever seen the movie, and yet there he was trying to be negative and cause problems. Tres amusing, don’t you think? So transparent, really – the hit and run aspect gives it away every time. Well, there, I’ve said it and I’m glad.

Well, dear readers, I must shower and then go downstairs and roam. There is a roaming charge when I roam so that’s fine. Today’s topic of discussion: Today is free-for-all day so let down your hair and speak your various and sundried minds, speak your piece, speak your peace, speak up, speak down, speak however you so choose. I want to see some interesting posts when I get back, so I can contribute in my own way. Post away, my pretties.
