Jack, no not Katz, now and forever, more like cat box leavings

I don't know if they had hopes for this show but like many subscription shows at the NY regional theatres (Manhattan Theatre Club, Second Stage, Roundabout), it will finish the run and disappear into the great theatrical ether in the sky.

Meow!

Ether, either, let's call the whole thing off

Seriously, though, Ben, given Patrick Marber's rep, and that there's a meaty roie for a leading man in it, I wouldn't be surprised to see a film of HOWARD KATZ at some point, and quite a few regional producitons.

DR CILLA LIZ - one of my nephews - not one of the SMART ones - was in a group of people who were stopped by the police.

There was marijuana and a pipe in the car. By the time the policeman wrote the report, no one had confessed to ownership of the goodies.

So everyone, even my nephew, a minor, was charged. Now court dates have been set for them all individually. Some of the perps have confessed to ownership of the contraband. None of it was my nephew's, so at the hearing last week, he pleaded not guilty.

Is it imperative that he be represented by an attorney at the trial on April 23?

Producitons......interesting theatre term, DR FJL. I type it nine times out of ten myself.

I wonder what Dr Freud would make of the transposition? We are certainly putting "I" in it. Perhaps we are theatre mavens or have an active actor gene.

I think you're right, Fred.

Not to denigrate in any way (because if I had a career as an actor at the Guthrie or any other regional theatre I would be wildly happy with my life) but Howard Katz does have a "regional theatre" feeling about it (in my humble opinion) and will most likely have a life outside of New York.

Not that I'm wildly unhappy with my life now. I have a good life and I'm very happy with my unrecognized husband and my job and my life outside of my job. It just wouda been nice if the Guthrie had recognized my talent those many years ago and hired me once or twice. But then I may not have met Anthony and I might not have discovered this here posting board so, all in all, it has worked out.

FJL · « **Reply #162 on:** April 05, 2007, 11:39:35 AM »

And to get really ballsy, I will predict right here and now that if a HOWARD KATZ film does get made for either theatrical release or TV, the actor will get an Oscar or Emmy, or at least a Golden Globe, nomination for it.

Who the heck do I think I am predicting things, Jrand?

Welcome to the 21st Century, I know....I know....

DR RLP - I have looked around for some over the air broadcasts, but my television channel numbers - even with my VCR off correspond to the cable channels, so I think I would have to unhook my VCR/cable to receive the over the air channels...so NO no HD as yet.

Your TV remote has a button that allows you to change "sources" of signals. All you would have needed was a set of rabbit ears connected to the back of your TV...and tuning your TV for noncable channels, you'd have picked up any digital/HD signals serving your error.

A push of that button and you'd have been back to your cable feed.

And since I'm on a posting frenzy, on Monday when I mentioned my meat loaf, I forgot to mention what you do with the other three ounces of tomato paste (you put the first three in the chopped meat with the other ingredients). I spread the other three ounces on top of the meat loaf (instead of ketchup, it's kind of life tomato frosting) and then lightly cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent over cooking, removing it for the last 15 minutes so that the paste gets a little crusty and warm and bakes into the top of the meat loaf.

What an excellent idea! And now I'm even thinking a few strips of mozzarella with that topping of paste...and possibly some fresh basil...and WOW! I'm gonna try it!

I didn't know you had a psychic. Has he ever told you anything that actually came true?

Interestingly, DR FJL [is that a word?], if you type "drag name generator" into Google, there are apparently many sites that are willing to lend a helping hand, as it were...

Thank you.

I was thinking of playing one of my favourite titles "I'm Gonna Hire A Wino To Decorate Our home" (David Frizzell) from the album "The Family"s Fine But This One's All Mine".

My taste in music is KLASS

I'm Gonna Hire a Wino, to decorate my home,
So you'll feel more at ease here and you won't have to roam....

Boy, I haven't heard that one in a very long time

DR CILLA LIZ - that pull out thing is called a letter tray and is very useful when your desktop is FULL and you want to write something. Ideally it is on the right side of the desk. Mine has one on either side.

We ordered desks specifically with letter trays when I worked at the School for the Deaf, so we could put our TTY's on the letter tray. Very convenient.

Yes I've used one many times, just didn't know what you call it.
