Well, you've read the notes, the notes were new and not a rerun, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently watching reruns of Julia.
-
And the word of the day is: LIMNOLOGY!
-
Welcome five GUESTS. Who ARE you people?
-
Oy! At 3:15 AM in the middle of a thunderstorm, I was awakened by my phone ringing. Fearing the worst I flew out of bed and grabbed the phone, but it was all static. I could hear someone I thought couls be my mother, but barely. I hung up the phone and when it rang again I tried to answer but it was all static. Within moments there was pounding at my door. It was the police. I got some clothes on and answered the door. They said there had been a 911 hang up call from my number and came in to check out the
phone (which was still all static).
They told me it was probably the lightning and they left. They sat outside my house for a good 15 minutes or so before leaving.
It scared the bejesus out of me. I want to go back to sleep, but not sure I can.
-
Good morning, all! I didn't mean to be awake at 5:30, but I was, so I'm showered and back to work on a couple of fixes Alex sent me last night and the second chart for Liz. Around 9 am I will head downtown to drop off the chart at Chelsea Music and to stop at Local 802 for some invoices.
After that, back here to continue. I would like to have the second one finished by lmid-afternoon tomorrow.
There was rain last night? I turned off the tv around 10:15 after watching the new "Pocketful of Rye," and didn't hear a thing!
-
There was a huge thunder and lightning storm last night. I only knew about it when an upset 75-pound dog woke me up by lying on top of me and barking.
-
Fixes to one accomplished. On to the next chart!
-
Vibes to Cilla!
-
Sleep-well-tonight vibes to DAW and dog and family.
-
Wow! DR CILLA LIZ - now you know how Frances Farmer felt when she was living at the Knickerbocker Hotel and the PO-lice came pounding at her her door to arrest her for not paying a traffic warrant....of course it was 10 o'clock in the morning when that happened.
-
My question for ASK BK day - when you were growing up - what was the MOST frustrating broadcast television conflict you can remember....when there were two shows on at the same time, and you couldn't watch both.....
For me:
Hazel on NBC and Margie on ABC
Bonanza on NBC and The Judy Garland Show on CBS
Here's Lucy on CBS and Laugh-In on NBC
-
Well BEAU BRUMMELL was certainly a LUSH BUDGET production. Mr Granger looked quite handsome and Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful. Peter Ustinov was good as the Prince of Wales, later King George IV.....
But of course the story played fast and loose with many facts - film began with a conflict between Beau and George over the uniform the Prince had designed for his regiment. Of course Beau was IN the regiment because he was one of George's "favorites" and had been since Beau was 16 years old....

ASK BK
Were any of the songs you wrote for Nudie Musical or The Creature Wasn't Nice eligible to have been nominated for an Academy Award?
-

OMG! I think I would probably turn on all the lights in the house before I even thought of trying to go to sleep after something like that!
I hope you managed to get some sleep, though, DR Cillaliz!
-
That's a very scary story, Cillaliz. I'm glad everything is ok.
-
There was a huge thunder and lightning storm last night. I only knew about it when an upset 75-pound dog woke me up by lying on top of me and barking.
This was your dog, I hope?

Wednesday nights at 7:30, BATMAN on ABC and LOST IN SPACE on CBS.
Also, for a brief time, Monday nights at 8:00, the last fifteen minutes of THE MUSIC SCENE on ABC (which my older sister insisted on watching) ran into the beginning of LAUGH-IN on NBC.

ANOTHER ASK BK
The following were originally released on the MGM label do they still have control of them as they do with the UA label?

-
RERUNS OF HAZEL--that will be the name of the next indie rock band I form.
-
DR Michael S, WHOOP UP was released as a cd over ten years ago. It went quickly out of print and became one of the most hotly sought and over priced cds on eBay, often going for over $100. (I don't know why--it's a pretty terrible score! Even Susan Johnson does not save it.)
-
And the word of the day is: LIMNOLOGY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: OL' MAN RIVER
-
BK, I don't remember HAZEL particularly well, but I did tour in dinner theatre with Don DeFore in The Silver Whistle (also Tony-winner Deanna Dunagan was in the first leg of the tour). Dallas, then to Columbus during the blizzrd of '76-'77. Larry Drake (who was also in the cast) and I left Dallas at 11pm on a Sunday after we closed the last show and drove through ice and snow non-stop to my parents house in Northern Kentucky, arriving late Monday night. We got up early the next morning to drive to Columbus for a 10am pick-up rehearsal that morning, before opening that night. Ah, show biz!
Mr. DeFore was a very nice fellow full of fun Hollywood stories. And a big Ronnie Reagan fan...
I'll have your blurb today.

This is for BK and Everybody
Jerome Kern was signed to write the score for ANNIE GET YOUR GUN but Died. Irving Berlin was hired. What a different Score that would have been.What Musical would you have liked to be written by a different composer? Who and Why?
-
The Silver Whistle cast (the fellow on the end is Al Evans, a fine Dallas character actor, not Richard Vath who was, in fact, the director of the play and is not shown):

LOL, What I was afraid of is that someone had died. With parents in their 80s, any time there is a phone call in the middle of the night I assume it's bad news. The cops didn't scare me, it was the fear of what they were there to tell me. I thought that someone had tried to call and couldn't get through so called the police - at least that's what I was afraid of.
I finally got back to sleep around 4:30 AM. I'm planning to have lots of coffee today

The police sat outside my house for quite awhile. I walked around the house a bit, but then went upstairs. The cats didn't seem to think anything was strange (other than visitors in the middle of the night) So I took my cell phone to bed with me...just in case. The cats are very sensitive to anything happening in the house that isn't "right" so when they curled up to go back to sleep, I felt better.
-
Ok, time to go to court in the Ice Cream Capitol of the World. I hate to admit I've gained 3 pounds over the past few weeks but I have. Maybe I'll pass on the ice cream today. Or maybe not..... :)
-
Yes, that had all the potential of being bad news. I'm so glad it wasn't.
-
DR MattH, is soapnet a channel that most people in the US get? It's not available in canada. And when people miss the CBS feed (on the soaps newsgroup) i never hear people saying they can catch up on it here. So i sort of assumed it was a station that only few people got.
-
Also, DR MattH re: yesterday's Y&R
I'm curious how you knew what phillip would say. Did you read spoilers in advance? I don't read spoilers but i thought they were being pretty quiet about what his storyline would be (or if it would be him or his son who was gay).
The only spoilers i read now are for casting. I've been doing this for quite a while. Because i find i enjoy it a lot more when i don't know every detail that is coming up.
-
DR Cillaliz that sounds scary. Btw, you need call display!
-
I'm curious, is anyone here gonna watch Big Brother (it starts tomorrow)?
-
Thanks, DR FJL. :)
-
DR Cillaliz, I hope you have a better night of sleep tonight! I would find that most unsettling.
-
This was your dog, I hope?
;D
Inspector Clouseau: "That was not my dog!"
-
I am now all caught up on the first 9 episodes of THE FASHION SHOW. Interesting show. Very similar to PROJECT RUNWAY. Yet enough differences. I'm surprised how much i like the hosts (which i thought i would hate).
It's also interesting how they don't seem to base their decisions solely on that week's work. That is one thing that often made me mad about PROJECT RUNWAY. They would let talented designers go if that week's project sucked.
On this show they often seem to consider which designer is more talented on the whole (which i totally agree with doing).
I sort of miss that we never get to see them pick the models (we don't know their names or how they are selected). But i am enjoying the show more than i thought. I guess there are only 3 episodes left?
Oh one thing that is very different is that the audience chooses the top and bottom. It's a very interesting twist (although i don't always agree with their choices).

No, but her cuts are the best things on the CD (along with "Love Eyes" which I love the swing of.)

It's a basic channel on my cable service, but for those without cable or dish, of course it's not available.
Y&R is the only CBS soap they carry. They carry all three ABC soaps.

I read an interview with the out gay actor who plays Philip, and he let the cat out of the bag several weeks ago. That's how I knew.

I much prefer Tim Gunn's helpful tips to the contestants rather than the rather bitchy, snide comments of the hosts on THE FASHION SHOW. And I don't like that the attendees determine the high and low. I often disagree with their selections.
I also have noticed that a couple of the designers each week aren't dwelt on so that their designs are a total surprise when they come down the runway.
-
Good morning!
It was a bit cooler this morning, but no cooler this afternoon with another day of 90 degree temperatures. Fall can't get here soon enough for me.
-
Looks like I'll be having yet another day off. There was no mail yesterday in terms of review items, and the UPS man drove right by this morning.
Don't know what I'll be interested in watching. Might rewatch one of the James Bond films on Blu-ray.
-
I don't really collect soundtracks any more unless they're musicals, but I'd likely spring for THE YELLOW ROLLS ROYCE on CD. I have always loved that score and the movie is just so much fun. I was thrilled when it finally got a decent release on DVD recently.
Now, if we could only get THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM on DVD. And a REAL soundtrack of that movie (not the Charlie Ruggles narrated storybook disc) would also make me purchase the CD.
-
On TV TOnight!™
ABC - WIPEOUT, JAPANESE GAME SHOW, PRIMETIME: CRIME
NBC - AMERICA'S GOT TALENT (two hours), THE PHILANTHROPIST
FOX - SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? (two hours)
-
Next week features the return of LEVERAGE to TNT, and I can't wait. I enjoyed its first season SO much.
-
Yes, the problematic JUDY GARLAND SHOW/BONANZA scheduling caused many a row at my house that particular season. No we didn't have DVRs or VCRs back then, but we did have two televisions, and often either my father (who HATED Judy Garland) or me (who adored Judy Garland) would view his preferred show back in my parents' bedroom.
-
I was just talking with a friend the other day about the year that Julie Andrews had her variety show, and ABC experimented with it moving it around the schedule, and it eventually ended up on Saturday night opposite MARY TYLER MOORE. I opted for Julie since I knew MTM would be rerun during the summer and Julie likely wouldn't. I made the smart choice with that.

I honestly can't remember any conflicts with favorite programming ever. I'm sure there may have been a few, but I just don't know what they'd have been.
-
ASK BK
Were any of the songs you wrote for Nudie Musical or The Creature Wasn't Nice eligible to have been nominated for an Academy Award?
Any song written for any released film is eligible - for submission. We submitted all the Nudie songs, just because at that time the average age of the music branch of the Academy was about eighty and we thought we'd raise a ruckus. I still have the certificate of submission somewhere. Oh, and we didn't get nominated, but I wonder if today Dancing Dildos mightn't get a nod, just so they could do it on the show.
-
ANOTHER ASK BK
The following were originally released on the MGM label do they still have control of them as they do with the UA label?

I think this has been asked before - MGM Records is not owned by MGM Music, who run the UA catalog. Any album that was on MGM is owned by Polygram (unless it's been sold AGAIN) and Polygram was and probably is controlled by Universal.

I suppose there were FAMILY conflicts about shows watched, but from the time I was about eight we had our own TV in the bedroom - where I suppose there were conflicts with my brother, although I could throw mighty tantrums and I'm quite sure I won all conflicts.
-
Oh, and I'm up. The noise was unbelievable this morning - loud hammering and yammering and wood plank sounding like they were being hurled. I stayed in bed thinking it would get better but it got worse - until I got out of bed and sat at the computer. At which point it stopped completely. I HATE these people. Right now, there's ONE guy out there, merrily hammering away.

Wednesday morning greetings! Two board meetings yesterday, with two different groups of women, really wiped me out. I've been up a while, finishing this month's book group book (Kate Jacobs' The Friday Night Knitting Club) and communicating by email and phone with my niece about her trip into Chicago next week to join us for JERSEY BOYS. Also, a very surprising email from my sister about a long-lost cousin with whom she's made contact through her genealogy research.
-
Heading down to check the mail and then get lunch started.
WBBL.

Page Three Dance!!!

And now I'm REALLY going!
;D
-
It was already 90 degrees by 8:00 this morning (not too hard to believe since our "low" was 87), but Sugar and I took a long walk anyway-- probably the only long walk of the day. :-\
-
It's been so beautiful this week here in the Philly area that I'm sorry I didn't take it as a vacation week. Warm days--not hot--and very low humidity with lots of sunshine. I don't remember July weather being so pleasant.
-
Good Morning! Good Afternoon!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I should eat something since I've already been up for a few hours. Just been caught up catching up on the news.
-
DR MattH - Thanks for the SoapNet reminder. I ended up watching "Y&R" last night. At midnight.
-
I'm curious, is anyone here gonna watch Big Brother (it starts tomorrow)?
Wouldn't miss it for the world! It is my most favorite competition show!

Of course, if you had taken a vacation this week, you probably would have headed somewhere out of town where it wouldn't have been so nice. ;)
And, yes, July, for - at least here in NYC and there in Philly - has been quite nice.

I believe I may have read the same article that DR MattH did. -And I think the link was actually posted here on HHW a couple of weeks ago. ??? In any case...
I'm still trying to figure out if Cain was actually passing himself off as Philip - or as some long lost twin. I missed a couple of those episodes when that whole revelation was taking place - along with the whole baby-switching stuff - and now that Philip is back on the scene, well... Then again, it's a soap opera, it's not supposed to make sense.

LOL! One of the boards is a professional group to which I made a commitment before retiring and the other is a local group of friends that I'd neglected while working full time out of town. Fortunately, they don't always meet on the same day.

DR Cillaliz-- at least the policemen were nice, and you know you're protected. :)

PASSION by Andrew Lloyd Webber
I thought the show should have sounded like grand Italian opera and Sir Andrew borrows occasionally from Puccini. I really disliked the original production a lot, and I thonk it's the only Sondheim show, besides INTO THE WOODS, I have little regard for.
-
Yes, that had all the potential of being bad news. I'm so glad it wasn't.
Me too. I did call my mother this morning just to make sure all was well there. Qwest didn't seem surprised that my phone called on its own and did a line check. they said there is a problem with my line. I said "perhaps it's the piece of wood that's been hanging there for two years"
They are sending out someone to fix it tomorrow. I did a google search and was amazed at the people who have had the same problem. I guess a short in your line can cause the phone to dial 911 Who knew?
-
DR Cillaliz that sounds scary. Btw, you need call display!
I have it, it didn't register.
-
I would most certainly be in a dither if policemen came into my home in the early morning hours. But gosh bless those men in blue.

He might have for the two who came to my door ;)
-
DR Cillaliz-- at least the policemen were nice, and you know you're protected. :)
They were very nice. I was amazed how quickly they got here. It was seriously about 2-3 minutes after the phone call
-
Ok, time to go back to work.
-
I don't want any of that stuff in that ad, DR MBARNUM. Thanks anyway.
-
Well my copy of White Horse Inn....but the title is in German - arrived today, and I shall watch it after rehearsal this evening.
-
It Never Ends Department: Had a rather (or at least relatively) uneventful dress tech last night, brought the show in under 3 hours, which is amazing considering the huge set changes they have to deal with. We were getting notes when all of a sudden my last minute trumpeter was back in the pit madly motioning me (he had been gone for about an hour at that point). I stuck my head in the pit and he told me he must have driven off with his trumpet book on top of his car and it was now nowhere to be found. So I went out and helped him search the parking lot, where he had at least found all the loose notes (so to speak) I had given him he had jotted down. Luckily, I had my main trumpeter, who's in Iowa on vacation this week, make a copy before he left, so I called him this morning, he ran to FedEx, made a copy and is overnighting it to me. As I told the theater's managing producer, (at least with regard to this first brain dead guy), there's a reason brass rhymes with ass. :)
-
DR JMK - What clued your last-minute trumpet player that he had left his book on top of this car? Did he notice that it was not in his gig bag when he got home? Or did he finally figure out the source of the paper trail that followed him home?
-
In any case...
Good Afternoon!
:)
-
Will we never get to page four?
-
Oh, we did, we did get to page four
-
Well... I guess I had a semi-productive morning here at the apartment getting things organized and planned. Which, of course, means that now...
Laters...
-
Oh Lord.....probably should just staple those books to their foreheads.

OH!
The final scene of today's - yesterday's for DR Jennifer - "Y&R" had me truly laughing out loud. Practically howling!!!!

Very scary DR Cilla. I can relate to police at the door in the middle of the night, and fears of calls with bad news. I have never needed to put the two together, very scary indeed.

Vibes to Cilla!

Wednesday morning greetings! Also, a very surprising email from my sister about a long-lost cousin with whom she's made contact through her genealogy research.

DR Cillaliz-- at least the policemen were nice, and you know you're protected. :)
They were very nice. I was amazed how quickly they got here. It was seriously about 2-3 minutes after the phone call
That is impressive.

Just looked at Lakewood's site, and, no, they don't have any pics available other than the PR shot of Max, Leo and Ulla. I must say these original Bway costumes are nothing short of spectacular.

DR Sam I’m glad your father’s friend will be taking you out on his sailboat. It sounds like an appropriate send off for your father.
May the boat trip & memorial give you the comfort you need.

DR MattH - Thanks for the SoapNet reminder. I ended up watching "Y&R" last night. At midnight.
You're welcome. I am VERY glad it is on our cable service. Also, last year when there was GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT, which had a story arc with gay characters, the only place to see it was SoapNet.
-
OH!
The final scene of today's - yesterday's for DR Jennifer - "Y&R" had me truly laughing out loud. Practically howling!!!!
*I would have left the show too. ::)
I missed it! I was writing and had the tv on in the background. What happened?
On a good note, I'm halfway through the second chart.
Rafe and Adam were kissing (out of camera range) when Nikki walks in quietly on them, watches with BIG eyes for a second, and then silently creeps out and quietly closes the door behind her.
In the previews, she has something shocking to tell Viktor!
Is this soap a throwback to the 50s or what! Same sort of thing happened in FAR FROM HEAVEN.
-
I watched this week's MY LIFE ON THE D-LIST while I ate lunch. Wonderful episode with many memorable moments including the adorable Betty White and Don Rickles who did make me laugh a couple of times. I was hoping for more with the tour of wine country, but the rest balanced that out.
-
Then I watched last night's RESCUE ME. Good episode except for the final sequence with a little kid driving a fire truck. Sorry. Couldn't happen like that. Absurd.
-
I skimmed through today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Funny how Adam has to change plans midstream when things don't go as planned. Kind of funny.
-
I concluded my afternoon with another POIROT mystery - SAD CYPRESS. I'm sure I had seen it long ago (and I had read the book, too), but I didn't honestly remember it. Still, I had no trouble at all discerning the murderer though I didn't know the motive until Poirot revealed it.

I haven't decided on my film entertainment for the evening.
I had recorded HER CARDBOARD LOVER, but after 15 minutes, it was so terrible that I deleted it. Norma Shearer at her worst, Robert Taylor a stick at boulevard comedy. Argh!
-
I'm curious, is anyone here gonna watch Big Brother (it starts tomorrow)?
Wouldn't miss it for the world! It is my most favorite competition show!
It does get crazy!
Did you hear that they are going to split the contestants into teams (cliques)? I think nerds, jocks ... and they will compete as teams.
Didn't read in detail so i don't know if they've elaborated on that. Could be interesting.
-
I will say this. I am getting very spoiled by having these days off. When the next big shipment of review discs comes in, I'm going to be thrown for a loop because it's so easy to get out of the habit of working.

Also, DR MattH re: yesterday's Y&R
I'm curious how you knew what phillip would say. Did you read spoilers in advance? I don't read spoilers but i thought they were being pretty quiet about what his storyline would be (or if it would be him or his son who was gay).
The only spoilers i read now are for casting. I've been doing this for quite a while. Because i find i enjoy it a lot more when i don't know every detail that is coming up.
I believe I may have read the same article that DR MattH did. -And I think the link was actually posted here on HHW a couple of weeks ago. ??? In any case...
I'm still trying to figure out if Cain was actually passing himself off as Philip - or as some long lost twin. I missed a couple of those episodes when that whole revelation was taking place - along with the whole baby-switching stuff - and now that Philip is back on the scene, well... Then again, it's a soap opera, it's not supposed to make sense.
I remember there being a couple of different articles posted here. But the only ones i read were ones where he hinted at interesting things to come. I did not read anything where the cat was let out of the bag. Although sometimes people on the soaps group mention things unintentionally. So i was pretty sure it would be him who was gay.
re: cane.
Apparently Phillip 3 (P3) faked his own death (even though apparently it was practically done on screen). But anyhow he went to australia, met cane and then they arranged for cane to come back to be P3.
The baby switch thing, well they haven't totally clariifed that. But I guess it did not happen (since the woman was apparently not in Genoa city when the switch took place). I guess they want us to believe that it was all in kay's head.
To me the dumbest part that makes no sense is that when cane took the DNA test to see if he was the father of chloe's baby ... they are now saying that he used P3's stored blood because he did not want to have different blood samples on record (do all these labs compare?).
Cane is now saying that since P3 and billy are brothers he (cane) knew all along that billy was the father (since it had to be blood that matched P3s).
That is the dumbest thing because they never showed cane doing this. They showed cane agonizing over having to leave lily and marry chloe for their baby. If he knew billy was the father he could have suggested this at the time and that still would not have blown his cover.
I guess that was the best the writers could do. But i wish they had thought out this P3/cane story before writing things that make no sense. Oddly enough the part that actually does seem believalbe to me is that P3 might have faked his own death because he was gay (although i did not watch the show when this happened - i think people who did are mostly pissed).

I have nothing of interest to say today, except that I have very cute kittens.

I can't really remember the exact ending. Especially since i saw the 2nd half of the show before the first (the channel was not working).
It was sort of annoying that they did not continue with P3 and nina's talk. But wow, phyllis has got to be the best actress on the show! I love michelle stafford.

DR Michael S, WHOOP UP was released as a cd over ten years ago. It went quickly out of print and became one of the most hotly sought and over priced cds on eBay, often going for over $100. (I don't know why--it's a pretty terrible score! Even Susan Johnson does not save it.)
No, but her cuts are the best things on the CD (along with "Love Eyes" which I love the swing of.)
I love "Quarrel-tet." :)

I read an interview with the out gay actor who plays Philip, and he let the cat out of the bag several weeks ago. That's how I knew.
Wasn't Philip the character that was killed in a car accident?

My question for ASK BK day - when you were growing up - what was the MOST frustrating broadcast television conflict you can remember....when there were two shows on at the same time, and you couldn't watch both.....
For me:
Hazel on NBC and Margie on ABC
Bonanza on NBC and The Judy Garland Show on CBS
Here's Lucy on CBS and Laugh-In on NBC
I honestly can't remember any conflicts with favorite programming ever. I'm sure there may have been a few, but I just don't know what they'd have been.
The only conflict I can remember was between IT'S ABOUT TIME and THE TEST PATTERN. Fortunately, THE TEST PATTERN won.

I figured some youngins' wouldn't know what a test pattern was.

I loved IT'S ABOUT TIME. I have the pilot episode on tape lying around here somewhere.

DH Keith could use some ankle vibes. He is pretty sure he didn't break it, however, it is very swollen. He even has it elevated and been putting ice on it. Knowing Keith this really shows he is concerned.
I was watching him outside & the way he began jumping in the air I thought a lizard had startled him. Then I realized no lizard would cause that much of a reaction. The ankle cracked when he stepped in a hole & turned it.

-
DR Jennifer - As for "Y&R"... I'm just trying to remember if Cane actually said he was PC3? Or if he was "found" to be PC3? And, if so, how did "they" explain the difference in appearance. I guess those people on the soap operas watch soap operas too and know that the same character could be played by a different actor over the course of time. ;)

What a perfectly marvelous, fabulously fabulous day this was. Busy, yes, but faboo nonetheless. After my lunch, my darling and very dear Todd Ellison came over and we went to Jerry's and gabbed for two hours. I haven't seen him in maybe six years, which is astonishing. Those who know my CDs know that I used Todd as musical director frequently - he's one of my favorite people. He's here for the opening night of Spamalot. He was the show's original musical director and now supervises any first-class productions. And if his schedule permits (which right now it does) and if we decide to do the reading of Nudie Musical in NY in October, Toddy is on board to MD, which I'm thrilled about.
-
Jose, when do we get to hear some more details about "brushing up on your French."
Well... The email I received this morning said that the "people in charge" would be contacting me shortly "to make the arrangements". I'm still unclear as to whether those "arrangements" will include a flight and hotel, I guess I'll find out in an upcoming email.
*And there's also been interest from a museum in New Zealand! Whatever happens - or doesn't happen - I'm truly pleasantly surprised and flattered.
-
After that, I finished sequencing the new Kritzerland CD - I had to watch the film, figure out what each cue was, run to the computer (and iTunes), find the cue, and do the new order. It took about four hours all told, but it's done and a really good listen. We had four cues that weren't in the film that will be on as bonus tracks. All told, our CD runs about fourteen minutes longer than the LP of this title did. And it's much better sound.
-
Good Evening!
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!!!
Today was absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!
Guess my weather order was about a week late, huh?
Actually, it wasn't that awful last week, except Tuesday evening, Thursday afternoon, and Thursday evening.

MARIMBA'S TO KEITH- MAY HIS ANKLE HEAL QUICKLY
-
Best of all, my two book blurbs arrived today - and without further ado - here they are and I couldn't be happier!
“Surviving and solving Murder at Hollywood High and Murder at the Grove
hasn't slowed down Kimmel's irrepressible teenage sleuth Adriana Hofstetter
a whit. Now she's back in arguably her most entertaining adventure,
searching for the murderer of a dedicated movieland preservationist. As with
the adorable Adriana's other amateur investigations, this one offers a
clever fairplay whodunit plot and an assortment of added delights for movie
fans, from a walking tour of Hollywood then and now to a hilarious
two-paragraph summation of the last fifty years of American film history
courtesy of a gloriously larger-than-life out-of-work producer. He's just
one of a gallery of memorable characters who, with the exception of a
vicious killer, wind up singing Hooray for Hofstetter.”
Dick Lochte, author of Sleeping Dog and co-author (with Al Roker) of Murder
on the Morning Show
“Adriana Hofstetter is not your average teenager. Bucking all the popular trends and touchstones of her generation, she is out-of-step, out-of-touch, and out-of-fashion; even her dial-up computer is out of date. She's definitely not hanging with the cool kids.
But then how many cool kids solve mysteries with a skewed tenacity that puts Nancy Drew to shame? In this latest adventure, neither LA downpours, doubting detectives, or the onslaught of Christmas can stop Adriana from sticking her quirky nose into the secrets of an array of Hollywood oldies and oddities to ferret out foul play. All this is done with author Bruce Kimmel's usual witty panache that is a love letter to both Los Angeles and nerdy teenage misfits.”
Charles Edward Pogue
Screenwriter of Dragonheart, DOA, & The Fly

bk - Just a word of "warning" about doing a reading in NYC in October: Try to schedule it toward the end of the month so that you won't "conflict" with NAMT, NYMF and The Fringe. NYMF, in particular, is looking to be quite "starry" this year. *And if I get one more invitation to a "fund-raising" party for a NYMF show, well... "Ignore"!

All soap characters who come back always die on screen. I believe that's in the rule book.

Its title comes from an old vaudeville joke, a variation of which evolved into dialogue between the two protagonists:
Nat: Hey, Rappaport! I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?
Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
Nat: Rappaport, what happened to you? You used to be a short fat guy, and now you're a tall skinny guy.
Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
Nat: Rappaport, you used to be a young guy with a beard, and now you're an old guy with a mustache.
Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
Nat: Rappaport, how has this happened? You used to be a cowardly little white guy, and now you're a big imposing black guy.
Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
Nat: And you changed your name, too!

A I'm Not Rappaport related questions
The play has a small cast of 7
There are five understudies. Two actors cover two roles
I know that Standbys call the theater to see if they are needed. And they don;t have to be at the theater during the performance.
1) Understudies usually appear in the show playing a smaller role. In this play they do not play a role onstage. As understudies are they required to stay at the theater during the performance?
2) what happens if two actors are out and there is only the one actor who understudies both those two actors and the two characters appear onstage at the same time, What happens? Is the performance cancelled?

I am asking these questions because this info will be used in the play I am working on
The actor I am working with is really good. I am getting good vibes that the play is going to work out
More to come

Also, DR MattH re: yesterday's Y&R
I'm curious how you knew what phillip would say. Did you read spoilers in advance? I don't read spoilers but i thought they were being pretty quiet about what his storyline would be (or if it would be him or his son who was gay).
The only spoilers i read now are for casting. I've been doing this for quite a while. Because i find i enjoy it a lot more when i don't know every detail that is coming up.
I read an interview with the out gay actor who plays Philip, and he let the cat out of the bag several weeks ago. That's how I knew.
Wasn't Philip the character that was killed in a car accident?
Yes.

Yes.
Didn't the actor leave the show at the time, because his brother murdered his parents and he needed to go into hiding because his brother threatened to kill him too

I loved Hazel. Just thought I'd throw that in

DR Jennifer - As for "Y&R"... I'm just trying to remember if Cane actually said he was PC3? Or if he was "found" to be PC3? And, if so, how did "they" explain the difference in appearance. I guess those people on the soap operas watch soap operas too and know that the same character could be played by a different actor over the course of time. ;)
Adam certainly changed looks in the blink of an eye.

Ms. Dunagan's love interest was a priest?
He was a protestant minister who wore the dog-collar.

A I'm Not Rappaport related questions
The play has a small cast of 7
There are five understudies. Two actors cover two roles
I know that Standbys call the theater to see if they are needed. And they don;t have to be at the theater during the performance.
1) Understudies usually appear in the show playing a smaller role. In this play they do not play a role onstage. As understudies are they required to stay at the theater during the performance?
2) what happens if two actors are out and there is only the one actor who understudies both those two actors and the two characters appear onstage at the same time, What happens? Is the performance cancelled?
Not all stand-by's have the luxury of just calling in - or being on a beeper. That's a contractual thing.
Understudies for any show are required to be "in the house" during a performance. They are released at a time designated by the stage manager which is decided upon during the course of rehearsal and previews. Some understudies have to be there from curtain up to curtain down. Other times, they get to leave once the last scene has started. -During A Chorus Line, the understudies were not released until the costume change was done for the finale.
If the understudy - or understudies - are both out, then a cancellation is possible. However, sometimes a stage manager or assistant stage manager will step in.
*And wasn't there a case where the author or director ended up going on sometime in the recent past (last year or two) for a major off-Broadway production?

DR Michael S - If you need the "rules", couldn't you just contact your regional Equity office and ask for a copy of the Handbook? Or if you happen to know someone who runs a theater in your area, get one from them?

Page Eight Dance!!!

I watched a couple of gay-themed movies tonight.
I began with SHELTER which has been sitting on the to-watch pile for quite some time. It was OK. Sweet performances but a ho-hum story.
-
Nobody comments on the wonderful blurbs? My goodness, we're all in our own heads, aren't we?
-
DR Michael - Additionally - if you are looking for the Equity requirements for your play - the "rules" vary somewhat, sometimes drastically, from "Production" (Broadway), to "Tour" (which has something like 8 tiers now), "LORT", "SPT, and "Guest Artist".
-
Then I rewatched THIRD MAN OUT, the first of the Donald Strachey movies. Its plot wasn't as good as the second and third films in the series, but Don and Tim had much more intimate encounters in the first film than in the subsequent ones.
-

Nice blurbs, bk. -But were you really gonna post a "bad" blurb"? ;)
-
Next I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest there.
-
I looked at the TV box sets that I had yet to crack the cellophane on, and my eye fell on Season One of VERONICA MARS. I never watched the entirety of season one. I only watched the few episodes CBS ran during the summer after its first season, so most of these episodes are going to be brand new. Yes, I know the answers to who killed Lily Kane and who date-raped Veronica, but each episode also contains self-contained mysteries for the episode, and those will be fun to solve with Veronica.
-
I watched the pilot tonight which showed me how she made such tight friends with Wallace and Weevil. And found out out her disappearing mother. Very memorable pilot.
-
Looks like I'll be watching VERONICA MARS over the next weeks as long as I have some free time.
-
However, I didn't want to speed through the episodes too fast, so instead of watching another one, I flipped on the cable box and ERIN BROCKOVICH was on Encore, so I watched about 40 minutes of it. One of these days, I need to take the DVD off the shelf and rewatch the whole thing.
-
I'm heading downstairs now and going to bed.
Good night!
-
Dear Jose, I have to agree with you about the blurbs.
Just thought I'd say I like Jose's sense of humor.
-
Dear bk, nice blurbs on the new book.
Looking forward to seeing the cover.
And reading the book.
-
And ordering the new release tomorrow morning (or midnight tonight, if I'm awake).
-
I actually need to start winding down myself. I meeting a friend for a late-ish morning, and then I'll be showing my cousin, Christine, around New York City for a couple of hours. I'm looking forward to the reunion!
Goodnight.

Dear Jose, I have to agree with you about the blurbs.
Just thought I'd say I like Jose's sense of humor.
Aw, Thank You, DR Sam.
-
bk - You may want to Tweet those blurbs. Or at least start setting up a "coming soon" page on Kritzerland.com.

Must go down and check on the 2nd car parked on the street now that it's cool enough to go outside.
Summer heat and smog are here in LA. The moon has been so beautiful the last couple of days.
-
After reading Jose's posts, I would really hate to see The Nudie Musical get lost with all that is going on in NY in October. It's so much fun to see, it deserves sold out shows.
-
Till midnight.
Have a great Thursday everyone.
And lots of happy and healthy vibes :) :) :) :)
-
Hmmmmm, I will theorize that the question is whether you want to attract sold-out houses or important regional theatre people from around the country. If you can schedule it around NAMT (see dates at namt.org), you stand a better chance of snagging some influential people in your audience who would otherwise not be in town - even though you run the risk of not having a full full house.

I find it so nauseating that we've had no posts in two hours that I feel like vomiting on the ground. I shan't, but I feel like it. What our are lurkers supposed to do around here without pithy postings to be read?

Why is our time stamp off by about ten minutes?
