Up until this batch, if they didn't get adopted from the bus they were placed in a Petsmart or Petco until they got adopted. I was assured they stayed until they got adopted. I never had any that were mean and unadoptable.

I took these today to the bus. This weekend there is a big adoptathon, where the placement person feels sure they will go home.

The Tony Awards are moving to the Beacon Theater next year. A 2900 seat theater as opposed to the 5900+ at the Radio City Musical. Maybe that will curtail the screaming and the whooping from the teenagers in the upper balconies to a dull roar

It has gotten so foggy in Bowling Green, OH, that it's hard to watch this football game on TV.  Hope the players can see better on the field!

Tomorrow is going to be a long day here, getting ready for, then enjoying our family gathering.  I'm going to sign off now and get some rest - 'night!

The talk at the Austin Network Mixer went well.

The audience asked some good questions, and I sold a lot of books.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday should be interesting.

I'll be signing at the Austin Comic Con.

Even with the Roger Corman connection, I'm not sure if that's the right venue for me.

But, we shall see....

That's good. I forgot you mentioned the bus was previously connected to Petsmart and Petco.   That's really comforting.  With your photos and videos, they are kind of part of the HHW family

Great news DR Druxy.   Every time I see "I'll be signing..."  I read it as "I'll be singing..." and have to go back and re-read.

I'm quite engrossed in a motion picture on Blu and Ray but it's almost three hours long and I'll have to finish it on the 'morrow.

Back from the funeral and a short visit to the house - the funeral was attended by at least five to six hundred people.  Parking was madness, but we got there about five minutes after the service had begun.  I'm not big on the service part, but Michelle's husband Steve spoke eloquently and wonderfully, with humor and warmth, Howard McGillan sung Ave Maria, and Reece Holland sang for good.  There was a very long period where everyone took communion or whatever it is - the wafer thing - all five hundred people (well, not all).  It was nice.  Then I went and got the helper started and then went to Steve and Michelle's gorgeous Toluca Lake home.  I didn't know that many people, but Michael Caprio was there (he worked at Varese most of the time I was there), and Joan Ryan.  I was fine until I saw Steve - he hugged me and was so effusive about the work Michelle and I had done and I could literally not speak.  I was there about fifteen minutes, then had to get back home to give Juliana A. Hansen a tape of her music.

I can't think of the proper response, comment or emoticon for my "reaction" to this... Except: Peace.

So...

I had asked my parents to call me when they were getting close to the city so that I could meet them down at Port Authority as soon as their bus got in. Well... "Hi! We just drove through the Lincoln Tunnel. We'll be there in five minutes."

So, after jumping out of bed and scrambling to get ready, I made it down to Port Authority about 30 minutes later.  Alas, by that time, they had already made their way over to Radio City Music Hall to pick up their tickets for the Christmas Spectacular.  Luckily(?), since they somehow thought that Rockefeller Center was a couple of blocks north of Radio City - instead of right behind it - I was able to catch up with them right by MoMA.

One of my cousins from the Philippines, Jessalyn, came along, so I walked them through the shops and restaurants in the underground Concourse of Rockefeller Center.  And that's when my parents decided that they had already done enough(?) walking for the morning, so they grabbed a table and sat for a bit while I took Jessalyn on a whirlwind tour of Times Square.

...And then I found out that my parents had not bought me a ticket for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular.  However, it all worked out in the end, since I then got a call from a friend saying he had an extra ticket for the matinee of Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown.  So, around 1:30, I made sure they got in the proper line at Radio City, and I headed to The Belasco.

As for Women On The Verge..., well... It's not a truly bad show.  It's not a truly good show.  It's a mess.  A hot mess.  A muy caliente mess.  There's a lot of talent on that stage - and a lot of moving scenery.  Perhaps there's too much moving scenery.

I liked the score, but I really loved the band and orchestrations!

And that's my review(?) of WOtVoaNB.

*I also believed I spied DR Julie in the audience, but since I had to run off to catch up with my parents...

OH!

There was an "official" looking gentleman in the lobby of The Belasco who mentioned a very interesting tidbit about the production. -And since I'm pretty sure he probably did not mean to share that tidbit publicly, well... We shall see. ;)

My cousin, Christine, had also joined my parents by that time, and she took them on a tour of the Fox News studios - her husband in a camera man there.  And while they were walking through the halls, my mom spied Glenn Beck.  And, yes, she had a picture taken with him.

??? ??? ??? ???

*Even she admitted that she's never watched his show, just that she knew who he was. -Of course, she told him she watches him every day. ::)

To wrap up their day, I took my parents down to Chelsea to meet the folks from the SOUVLAKI GR truck.  Abby, one of the owners, treated my parents and cousins to a light dinner: chicken and pork souvlaki and some bifteki.  Then after a brief walk-thru of The Limelight Marketplace, we took the C train back up to Port Authority where they boarded a bus back to Atlantic City.

Whew! :)
