Well, you've read the notes, the notes were my kind of notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently singing the Frank Sinatra classic MOO Kind Of Town.

TOD: I love the angel hair pasta with clam sauce at the spaghetti place on Central Avenue. I took Wae-Ling there once, and she had the spaghetti with meatballs. I gave her a taste of the clam sauce, and she said next time that's what she is ordering.

They also have pasta with browned butter and mizithra cheese, but I like the clam sauce better.

DR Doug, I don't know how long you read before you jumped in. The children who live next door to me are Vietnamese Jews -- Mae-Ling and Wae-Ling Goldstein. Wae-Ling just turned eight years old, and we get along great. I haven't seen them in a while, though.

Good Evening!

It was a truly beautiful Closing Night all around. A Sold Out house. Great energy on stage and in the pit. And even though there were a few tears shed, everyone left with smiles on their faces. And there were lots of hugs, and "I'll see you in New York"s. -And since some members of the cast will also be in The Boys from Syracuse, I'll be seeing them again in a few weeks. :)

Good morning, all! At 5 am, i figured I wasn't going to sleep any more, so I'm up, bathed and dressed. My goal is to be out of here no later than 7:15. Around 7am, I will check back, say goodbye, and shut down the computer.

My train is at 8:10, so that will give me time to pick up my ticket and some smackerels for the trip. I'm heading to the "quiet car" and hoepfully sleeping the whole ride. I'm taking two books, one on the last two comic operas by Gilbert & Sullivan and the novel GOWNS BY ROBERTA.

BK, even though I read your notes every day, I somehow thought you were heading out last night, so I wsh you Excellent Travel Vibes & Xylophones again this morning!

DR Jose, I am so sorry I missed your show, but I hope I can see you in the City after I return on Wed. night.

I don't have much else to report. as for the TOD: pastry! I have a horrible sweet tooth and my current craving is Artie's birthday cake. it's lethal.

Greetings from the airport.  Despite arriving an hour earlier than I did to LAX, in Chicago, that toddlin' town there was a long line - even the Premiere Line was long.  So, instead of taking the three minutes that it took to go through security in LA at six-fifteen, at five-fifteen it took about twenty minutes.  And, unlike LA, here I had to go through the body scanner, which, I have to say, is a little off-putting.

Good morning, all!! I had such a nice visit with my sweet Elmore yesterday - he looks happy and robustly healthy, which made me so glad after what he has been through in the past several years. The years just folded up into another dimension, and it felt as if we might have met at Artie's just last week.

I got the special info about certain musical numbers from Roberta - I do love Jerome Kern... his music is so darn SINGABLE, and the melodies are sublime. So I'm overjoyed for Elmo that he gets to spend some quality time with that score in the next several months.

I got the stories of amazing  synchronicities surrounding his great success in Dublin - strange coincidences that resulted in his dream cast, and the happiness surrounding the whole project.

I heard about the new project that resulted from some traditional holiday song arrangements - again, just too strange how charmed a life our Elmo lives... and I'm meeting his collaborator on said project this afternoon, with the hope and anticipation that he'll find me old enough and fierce enough for a killer role they've written... since several cast members of the new show will be required to play guitars and banjos, I'm feeling WAY confident -

Best travel vibes for our pals who are traveling today -

Oh, life is grand, isn't it!!!

I had a very nice time at Ray Courts' show in Chicago...once I got there.

But, I gotta tell you: I hate traveling.

When I got to the Chicago airport last night for my trip home, I Security buzzer went off on me.

I was pulled aside for a random check.  I machine chose me.

They did some sort of chemical test on my shoes...then they released me.

Stupid!

I'm home.  First off, I only got about two hours of sleep - just couldn't fall asleep.  The plane ride was fine, although the man across the aisle kept coughing and blowing his nose in my direction - what and ASS.  Don't get on a plane if you're sick, ASS.  We got in about fifteen minutes early, and there was shockingly almost no traffic coming home.

Did anybody watch TAR last night?

I really did not like it. I didn't like the idea of the double elimination that they announced last week. And did not like how it played out. Especially the reason why people were last.

Also, I've gotten used to the equalizing on flights (teams that were hours behind get on the same flight as those who finished first). But there has to be some kind of advantage to finishing first or in the front. I hate hate hate that a team that finishes 5 hours behind the LAST team can be on the same footing as a team that finished first. And then their speedbump penalty was so lame. It probably took like 5 minutes.

Greetings from the Capitol Hill Suites! I am checked in, unpacked, and about to walk over to the LoC. I need to get my library ID card renewed.

I rode down in the "quiet car," slept on and off for a couple of hours, and I'm feeling pretty good. I suspect that around 4pm I will start dragging.

What will your DC drag name be:  Fanne Foxe?


I think DR elmore's DC drag name should be: Fonda Dix.


;D ::)

Or maybe Anita Goodman.

Live blog: Amanda Knox to go free after jury overturns murder conviction (http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/10/03/amanda-knox-murder-appeal/)!

Quote
[Updated at 3:52 p.m. ET] There was an audible gasp outside the courthouse when the verdict was read in court.

Knox and Sollecito were swiftly taken out of the courtroom.

Knox's family hugged and celebrated inside the courtroom after hearing the news as Amanda Knox appeared to turn around and smile at them.

Knox and Sollecito will go back to prison to pick up their things and then will be free to leave

[Updated at 3:48 p.m. ET] A jury has partially overturned the conviction of Amanda Knox.

The jury as overturned the murder conviction but upheld the conviction on the defamation charges after she accused club owner Patrick Lumumba of killing British college student Meredith Kercher in 2007 in Perugia

The judge has called for silence in the courtroom as applause erupts.

The jury has also overturned the murder conviction of Raffaelle Sollecito. Both will be free to leave.

My doctor's appointment today was a 6-month follow-up with the hematologist.  The one I had been seeing has left the practice, but I liked the guy I saw today because he offered (with no prompting from me) to try to get my insurance company to provide a home protime testing kit.  That's the blood test that I have to have at least once a month to determine my Coumadin dosage and I'd be a happy camper if I could do it with a finger stick instead of a visit to the lab for a major blood draw.

I'm happy you all had a good laugh today at my expense. I actually go by the name Tiffany Lampe.

After looking at the original scores and orchestra parts for ROBERTA, I have no idea how Chappell published the cockamamie mess they call a vocal score. The parts show lots of alterations with cuts and revisions, but the Chappell score, which is the basis for the Tams-Witmark rental version is a disaster. Mark Horowitz found my carton of scores for The New amsterdam Theatre Company, so tomorrow I will copy those, look over the copyright "Gowns By Roberta" libretto, and begin copying the Victor Herbert scores.

My evening is open, so I think I will chill out, watch tv, read a bit, and sleep.

I think it may actually go far - the world needs something besides Scrooge and Tiny Tim, year after year... can't wait to hear Elmo's arrangements!! DJ just raves about them. I expressed my strong interest in doing it - the part has been offered, but not accepted. So if the other gal passes on the opportunity, guess who'll fly in on her own wings to do this piece???? The characters are marvelous and the songs are killer. Who wouldn't want to do this???

My Nudie Blu-Ray arrived too!   I thought it might be arriving so I watched for the mailman.  I heard him leave the building and went down to collect my mail.  Sure enough, there was a little yellow slip to let me know I wasn't home to receive a package.  Well, I was home!  I guess the mailman just assumes I'm not home on a weekday and doesn't even knock on my door!  I went outside and found him walking to one of the other buildings and got my package.

Hope you have a productive meeting with DR elmore's colleague.

Welcome back, Jose!!! Howz tomorrow, late-ish morning, coffee and catching up??? I'm at 66th and B'way, right across the street from Juilliard.

Perfect! I have to stop by the NY Phil in the morning anyway. We could meet in The Rubenstein Atrium, or 63 Bites Cafe in the YMCA building. Or.... More laters..

Okay - where are said places??? I'm on 66th and Broadway, right at Lincoln Center!I can't wait to see you, ol' pal!!!

DR PennyO - The Atrium is on Broadway between 62nd & 63rd. It's one of my favorite public spaces of the Lincoln Center campus, as well as in NYC. It's in the space where the rock climbing wall used to be, if you remember that. Why don't we meet there around 10:30? -By the 9th Ave/Lincoln Center entrance. It will make sense once you get there. There's a 'witchcraft there, perfect for coffee and a light (or not so light) bite to eat.

Did anybody watch TAR last night?

I really did not like it. I didn't like the idea of the double elimination that they announced last week. And did not like how it played out. Especially the reason why people were last.

Also, I've gotten used to the equalizing on flights (teams that were hours behind get on the same flight as those who finished first). But there has to be some kind of advantage to finishing first or in the front. I hate hate hate that a team that finishes 5 hours behind the LAST team can be on the same footing as a team that finished first. And then their speedbump penalty was so lame. It probably took like 5 minutes.

:(


I didn't mind it. I was amazed at how many teams missed the sign sitting right there in broad daylight.  It doesn't bother me that they all catch up.  You get a trip for two to some fun place for coming in first, so you do get a special treat.

And thanks, all youse, for the good wishes - I'm about to start getting ready to go meet DJ. He sounds charming, funny, alla that - I anticipate a really fun meeting.

Break a leg, PennyO!

Thank you, m'dear!! Broke 'em both!! Elmo's collaborator, DJ, is so charming, such a heart-centered, dear soul, it was a blissful hour down in Chelsea. We talked about everything. I'm taking the play back to my boss at Rogue Machine Theatre - I think we should do it next year, as a holiday piece. It's really beautiful, touching. I think it may actually go far - the world needs something besides Scrooge and Tiny Tim, year after year... can't wait to hear Elmo's arrangements!! DJ just raves about them. I expressed my strong interest in doing it - the part has been offered, but not accepted. So if the other gal passes on the opportunity, guess who'll fly in on her own wings to do this piece???? The characters are marvelous and the songs are killer. Who wouldn't want to do this???

QUICK!!! Someone offer the other gal something she would love to do so she passes on this one!

I enjoyed BK's Outside the Box trailer. Didn't someone mention something about a subscription? How does that work? I've never heard of YouTube subscriptions.

It's not that I don't like sweet things, but my sweet tooth is very selective, which helps! I'm not a cake lover, but I tried Whole Foods Market's coconut cake the other day. Oh, wow! That was good! I do like ice cream, but am trying to stick to the no-cholesterol kinds, ie, those made from coconut milk or rice milk. Some of the coconut milk varieties are amazingly good.

Good Evening!

It was a truly beautiful Closing Night all around. A Sold Out house. Great energy on stage and in the pit. And even though there were a few tears shed, everyone left with smiles on their faces. And there were lots of hugs, and "I'll see you in New York"s. -And since some members of the cast will also be in The Boys from Syracuse, I'll be seeing them again in a few weeks. :)
That's nice that you'll be seeing them on such a fun show.

I got the bad news on the water heater: $1885 for everything. Now I just have to wait to hear from them about when they can come install it.

Holy cow, John! Too bad you don't have a plumber for a neighbor. It's very handy.

OUCH!  John have you contacted your electric company or your gas company?  Sometimes they have rebates and incentives for you to put in a new more efficient water heater.   Just a thought

Ouch!!

I hope my car repair won't be that much.  They couldn't find where the oil leak is and put a dye in today.  On Thursday I have to return for them to do something, which will cost $40, to determine what is causing the leak.  Then we can talk repair.

I couldn't get anything much more expensive than the one I chose. The energy saver ones were all several hundred dollars more than the one I chose.

I'm sure one of the usual ASSES did all the dislikes.  Who else even knows about it.  I could probably guess who it is.  But the real question is why doesn't the channel link work anymore - it certainly worked when I first posted it.  Any ideas?

Someone I know did an episode of some web series and posted it to You Tube - so, I watched - are most of these things completely amateur with no thought?  This thing was horrible, an excruciatingly unfunny six minutes.  I'm sweating bullets trying to keep our episodes to that length, and even cut out parts of two musical numbers in an episode that ran 7:30, just 'cause it felt a little long to me.  And the "style" - oh, Lord.  I guess I could just do that - show up with a camera and shake it and jump cut, but, I'll leave that to the kids and just go about my business. :)
