Well, you've read the notes, the notes were personal and spoke of a project, and now it is time for you to post until the personal cows come home.

Morning all.

Another morning of sleeping late.

It's supposed to be a scorcher today.

Glad I'm in an office with air conditioning.

I'm am familar with Kickstarter. A friend used to it get the funds to  get the capital to produce a cd. There were levels from $25 to several thousands. The top one if memory serves me was a private dinner for you and x amount of other people and a concert by the singer.

Good morning, all! I am caught up on sleep and ready to tackle another EILEEN score' I finished the Act One Finale around 6 pm yesterday, caught a bit of tv news, watched more of THE DUCHESS OF DUKE STREET and went to bed.

Last night was another Drama Book Shop dream. I've been having many of them, and I am not sure why. The shop was a large part of my New York for around fourteen years, but I haven't worked there since 1997!

Hey, Laura, you're not near the fires are you? I heard they are declaring a state of emergency.

Safe vibes to you and others in Arizona.

Tuesday morning greetings!  Richard and I left after lunch yesterday for a 2:30 showing of DOUBLE HOUR, then went to Nordstrom's (dress shopping for me), and to a new deli for dinner.  We stopped at the grocery and the bank on the way home and found Rob here, fresh from his weekend in Michigan with Mary Linda and her parents.  We had a lot of catching up to do, which is why I never logged back on here.

I'll be E & T most of today, too, because it's grantwriters' day in Dayton.

I had a very long, drawn out dream last night.  I was at either an ancient history museum or some odd, spacious store and I was there to see an appearance by Mr Stephen Sondheim.  While the crowd waited, there was a monitor that was showing very short clips of plays which I didn't recognize and actors I didn't know.  I grew bored watching, so wandered around the museum/store, which had a odd mix of displays--parts of human skeletons and bright, colorful posters of old B'Way musicals.  When Mr Sondheim finally appeared, he looked like he had been a prisoner in the Bastille--he had long dirty grey hair and a long scraggly beard.  From what I could pick out of talk in the crowd, it was because he had some kind of legal problems and he was trying to alter his look so he couldn't easily be picked out of a line-up.  Anyway, I don't recall what Mr. Sondheim talked about but there was a Q&A afterwards.  I asked him what he thought about the BOOK OF MORMON score.  As he answered, I realized that he was stating my own exact opinion of the score, almost word for word.  It was at that point that I knew I was dreaming and I woke up.

I have never really been a fan of 50's schlock horror/sci-fi.  I know I've seen a few, but I could hardly say I had a favourite.  Most of them I didn't like and have never seen twice.  One I remade...but the original is hardly a good movie -- THE FLY.

Damnation! I have misplaced a Full Score for the Opening of Act One. I cannot get my prnter to print a copy since the pdf online is 8.5x17 and my printer will not accommodate it. This mans at some point I will have to print it at Toyland, and I have no urge to make a trek downtown today. If I could only recall where the fat hell the original copy is!

The new project sounds interesting.  Good luck, Bruce.

And more vibes for everyone.

I'm curious as to what the Dream-O-Matic comes up with for Dan's dream.

Ben, the fires are more up north, so Laura and I are not in danger, but I sure hope they get them under control soon.  I feel sorry for all the critters and the trees.

I would probably order something from DDD's 25% off sale if their site wasn't so damned difficult to navigate.

I stumbled across this yesterday, which might be of interest to some of you:

The fact that it will take them a decade to finish the series makes it perhaps less desirable for some.  :)

I found this release due to the fact that I have temporarily moved on from my fascination with the outre recordings of Enoch Light and am now working my way through the Ferrante and Teicher catalog.  I just got a really interesting import CD of their two early 50s sides with prepared pianos.  Cool stuff.  Teicher's nephew is/was an attorney with whom I worked at a Portland law firm in the 1990s.
