Well, you've read the notes, the notes had six bites, and now it is time for you to post until the bitten cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: RIPARIAN!
-
good morning all
-
i've attended two get togethers.
1) During the recording of Jeepers Creepers in NYC
2) During the run of The Brain From Planet X
Both were fun and great
-
So anyway - I think today I will live my life in 1:78:1 instead of the standard 1:32:1 - at least at work.....at home I will still be in w i d e s c r e e n.
-
DR JOSE - yes we are thinking it was the cussing Shinns she was talking about in her letter.....I did say "by god" four times in the show.....Paul Ford says it three times in the movie, which she claimed he NEVER said...but I still think it's because we wouldn't refund money on tickets she bought and wasn't going to use.
-
Beautiful picture of The Vixter....graduation vibes for her and her family.
Very excited to read about all of the OKLAHOMA! adventures....but NO pictures?
-
TOD: All of them.....even those I have enjoyed through photos....including the BIG NYC adventure of a few years ago!
Personally:
The Mamma Mia Mini HHW Gathering.....which included DR GINNY, FATHER RICHARD, DR JOEY, DR JOSE, and myself....on the campus of Butler University for a matinee performance of said show wherein DR JOSE was part of the orchestra.
AND
The Indiana BRAINEX production that included MR BK, DR CP, and myself at the Buck Creek Players Pole Barn Theatre.

Saturday morning greetings! It's our 2-wedding day, so I got up early to shower before the rest of the household stirs. The cousins will be leaving this morning for Georgia - one will be driving his pick-up truck and the other will be driving Jessica's car. She's on a cruise ship somewhere in the Bahamas this weekend.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm actually awake(!) and posting before 8:00am on a Saturday... What is this world coming to? ;)
-
There have also been a couple of Midwest Mini HHW gatherings at The World of Wisdom including DR GINNY and FATHER RICHARD and once, DS ROB that were most enjoyable.
DR RODZINSKI has also stopped by the store a couple of times - once with DR TPUNK - which was fun!
-
Very excited to read about all of the OKLAHOMA! adventures....but NO pictures?
DR JRand - I'm just not that comfortable taking candid - or non-candid - pictures of a cast I'm still getting to know. -There's only one person in the cast with whom I've worked before. However, that's changing day by day.
In the meantime, for some pictures and video clips from last fall's presentation, CLICK HERE (http://www.arenastage.org/shows-tickets/the-season/productions/oklahoma/media/)
-
I understand DR JOSE.....
-
Today is a work day....oh well.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
All the various NYC HHW Gatherings, especially:
-My first HHW Joe Allen gathering - I believe DRs Kerry, MusicGuy, were in attendance.
-The BIG Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating tour.
-The post-Jewish Thighs on Broadway gathering at Angus McIndoe.
-Oh, and, of course, meeting DR MBarnum for the first time on DR elmore's fire escape. ;)
My first Musso & Frank meal with bk and DR MusicGuy - where I also got to meet Nick Redman and his ever-lovin' Julie Kirgo.
Meeting DR JRand when I was with Mamma Mia! in Indianapolis along with DRs Joey, Ginny and her DH Richard.
Watching DR Jane savor(!) her meal at Zaytinya in DC. ;)
-
And speaking of Oklahoma!...
Today is a work/rehearsal day for me today too. So...
Laters...
-
TV's Brigadoon looks interesting, although it's not my favorite show......burning to a disc that will hopefully play on my TV.
Thanks for the link yesterday.....but now I forget who posted the link!!! Sorry.....was it DR KEVINH or DR JOHN G or DR MATTHEW?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....I am too old to remember.
-
Good Morning everyone! Just looking in before getting ready for yet another party tonight- but this time, I control the music. :)
How's everyone been? Anything new about- and much apologies about not logging on before. Finals and crazy planning have taken away a bit of time from me I can NOT wait to get back. :)
-
Happy Graduation to THE VIXTER!
-
Off to work. Oh well.
-
Happy Graduation to THE VIXTER!
*blush* Thank you and thank you for remembering.

Congratulations, The Vixter! Have a great day.

Congratulations, The Vixter! Have a great day.
You too Laura. :) I have to go now- see you all around!!

Good morning, all! My neighbor above me, who's very very quiet most of the time, had a very noisy arrival home this morning around 6:15 and I spent an hour and a half trying to get back to sleep and fretting over the arrangement I am working on. I am bathed, dressed and ready to tackle the problem section.
Last night I found on my answering machine a phone message from the wonderful Rosemary Ashe, the original London Carlotta in Sir Andrew's PHANTOM OF THE OPERA; she's also the Lucky Lockit in the Roger Daltrey video of THE BEGGAR's OPERA. She is in New York for the next several months or so looking for theatrical and musical work. I look forward to seeing her and introducing her to various friends.
BK, about your bug bites: check very carefully the bottom sheet of your bed for small blood spots. It sounds like bed bugs to me, and you might have brought them in on your luggage. You wouldn't have a great many bites depending on how heavy the infestation. I had very few bites, just a feeling that there were critters in bed with me.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
I got a haircut this morning and then I went to Trader Joe's. We now have tart cherry juice!
-
Jose mentioned the vote yesterday. There was only one Democratic vote against the Marriage Equality Bill and that came from the usual suspect, raging Homophobe (but I don't hate gay people even though my grandaughter is a lesbian and she'll burn in hell and I've been divorced (but that was a normal marriage) but I don't hate gay people) Ruben Diaz
-
Happy happy day to vixter!!!!!!!!
-
It's scheduled to be a warm, muggy day here in the borough of Manhattan.
I really wanted to get down to DC to see Oklahoma but with the dental work and a trip to Michigan in August I don't think it will happen. I will have to wait for the NYC opening.
-
Happy Day to the Vixter!!!
-
And let's move to Page 2.

A Vixter Dance in her honor.

We may watch Wuthering Heights this afternoon. We watched Part 2 of Jane Eyre last night. Great production.
-
And with that, I am off for various other errands.
Bye for now.
-
Jose - What? No mention of the OKLAHOMA tribute parody video from last fall? :) :)

Yes, it was. We found the DVDs in the Library. A friend in Middlesborough had sent me a Region 2 DVD and we couldn't watch it so we looked in the library and there it was.

Toby is Maggie Smith's son, and I'm a big fan of his. He's also in the wonderful film of TWELFTH NIGHT.

Which version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS are you watching?
-
Which version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS are you watching?
The BBC production with Robert Cavanah and Orla Brady
-
Last night, my wife and I watched UNKNOWN w/Liam Neeson.
I know I'm in the minority here, but we enjoyed it.
:o
Yes, the car chase is a bit long and there are a couple of moments where you briefly question the story's logic, but all in all, its quite entertaining.
This is one of those movies that you either go along with for the ride, or you don't.
And, in this case, the ride was fun.
:)

I liked that adaptation very much.

Good morning, the sun is shining out and in a short while I will hie myself up to Aumsville, Oregon to take my mom out to breakfast and then I will work on her computer problems.....although, it might not actually be the computer that has the problems, if you get my drift 8)
-
This whole weekend I am dog sitting Dog Piper. Piper is some sort of terrier doodle mix. He is mostly a sweet dog, but he stinks...and is making my allergies go crazy.
He is also petrified of cat Freddy, who has been nothing but nice to him...once he made sure the dog knew who was the boss.
We took a nice early morning walk, and right now Piper is hiding under the bed.
-
I think that Piper would much prefer to be spending the weekend at his weiner dog friend's house.

TOD - I haven't been to a single meet up. But I plan to head down this fall for the event at LACC. I hope the timing works out!
-
TOD:
Each and every HHW get-together that I have attended has been great fun...and thinking about it, I guess I have been fortunate to have attended many!
The one in Tacoma last year, when DRs TCB, Ann, BK, and I saw DR George in BRAIN FROM PLANET X was particularly fun.
The New York walking and eating and walking and eating tour was a blast and was chock full of HHW DRs, many of who are no longer here...on HHW that is.
And of course the celebrity laden HHW get-together for the first ever production of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X was a thrill...and of course there were celebrities galore including Hugh O"Brien, Cindy Williams, Laurie Mitchell, Diana Darrin, Stella Stevens, Kevin Spirtis and many others.
-
MBarnum has evidently shut out memories of his many PDX gatherings, probably because he wasn't quite sure where he was.
-
I am currently in 1969-70 courtesy of a Percy Faith two-fer. ;)
-
Good morning, all.
-
Happy Day to the Vixter!
-
Must try to get two papers under way today and too much other work done.
-
SMITH has some surprisingly lovely music in it (despite the distortion of the tape, which was probably a little handheld cassette in the audience). It also sounds like it had a surprisingly large orchestra for an off-Bway show, but that's how things used to be done back in the olden days.
-
Wow--Tunick did the orchestrations!

It was the Phoenix Theatre, where THE GOLDEN APPLE with a 25-piece orchestr and ONCE UPON A MATTRESS began before their Broadway transfers.

She's a hoot!

I spoke to Ms Ashe; she's in Connecticut for the weekend, and I'll see her on Tuesday afternoon. I'm looking forward to it.
Tonight, the Ohio Light Opera begins their performances of JUBILEE. I'm a bit pissed that I wasn't invited to show up - I can't afford to go around the corner but they could have flown me out - and their inept director certainly hasn't called with any questions. While I'm curious about what they've done with the show, I am more looking forward to this year's Tams-Witmark royalty check!
-
A Vixter Dance in her honor.
Only if you dance with me. :)
-
Another long exhausting day
Another thousand dollars
No matinee
No Pinter play
Not even a piece of Mahler's.
Well, it wasn't quite a thousand dollars, but it has been exhausting and long (and it's only 12:03), but I have a new dishwasher coming (the price was even $50 lower than the advertised sales price).
-
I'm up, I'm up - boy I must've needed a long and good sleep, which I had.
-
Congrats to the beautiful Vixter.
-
I shall now de-groggify so I can joggify and then do stuff.

Saturday morning greetings! It's our 2-wedding day
I don't think I could get Keith to go to two weddings in one day.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
-The BIG Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating tour.
That was really something!!!!
Watching DR Jane savor(!) her meal at Zaytinya in DC. ;)
It was good, almost as enjoyable as the company. I was there because DR elmore said I needed to see the Library of Congress & then he couldn't coordinate a trip there.
I also had fun the night before listening to you preform during the play though I was disappointed I couldn't see you. It was my first time to see an orchestra pit under the stage.
-
Last night, my wife and I watched UNKNOWN w/Liam Neeson.

We have it on our NetFlix queue so I moved it up to the top. It won't be released until next month.

Poor Piper & why didn't they give him a bath before you took him? Your allergies might not be so bad had they done so.
-

;D I also noticed since I was at four of those. The first one when we were all delighted to find how relaxed & comfortable we were never having met before. It was Betsy who was extra relieved after you invited all these "strangers" to your house. ;D

I'm glad I didn't ask Keith why he was taking the nice vase outside. He returned with two roses from the garden & put them on my desk. :) We don't cut flowers from the garden. If I ever get any in the house it is because he is trimming the bush and the flowers are about gone.

Is it basically the entire cast of the earlier production?
-

-Oh, and, of course, meeting DR MBarnum for the first time on DR elmore's fire escape. ;)
Did the two of you sing a chorus or two of TONIGHT?
-
Jose, when you say...
There's only one person in the cast with whom I've worked before.
Is that a euphemism?
-
MBarnum has evidently shut out memories of his many PDX gatherings, probably because he wasn't quite sure where he was.
And he has also confused Tacoma with Olympia.

With this one you truly are in the minority - it received some of the worst reviews not only of last year but of the last decade.

What a wacko day this has been so far. I was heading over to the Dale of Glen to meet an alum of Hamilton High who was going to Mystery and Imagination to get the last two Kritzer books, as she'd loved the first one. I got a call on my cell phone - a friend asking where I was. And I'd totally forgotten there was a birthday lunch for two of the former theater department heads at LACC at a restaurant on Los Feliz. Luckily I was just approaching the 5 freeway and I went directly there - the lunch had begun at eleven-thirty so I was forty minutes late, but people had actually just gotten their food, so I ordered a lettuce wedge with light Eyetalian dressing and ate about half of it. It was nice to see everyone, then I came back to the Valley, picked up an important envelope, and am now just home. I also stopped at Public Storage and signed the new contract for the much less expensive space. I think I'm still going to seek out a lawyer specializing in class action lawsuits, because there's just something very wrong about me paying fifty bucks more than I needed to for many years and no one disclosing to me that I was doing so - and I'm very certain I'm not the only one. Same thing happened with the phone company - I had to ASK why the bills were so high and THEN I was told I was paying double what I should have been. At least they gave me a couple of free months, but Public Storage was not willing to do anything about the past.

It's broiling hot in the San Fernando Valley and whilst I go jog I shall turn on the air conditioning so it's cool when I get back.

The wonderful Alice Playten has died at sixty-three.
-
Welcome twelve GUESTS. Perhaps one of you would like to pledge to the Nudie Musical Kickstarter campaign? Perhaps one of you would like to come out of the woodwork and join our merry troupe?
-
Sad news about Alice Playten. I loved her in "Henry Sweet Henry" and all those old Ben Bagley records she did. I think I'll have to dig up my copy of her singing Cole Porter's "I'm Only a Schoolgirl." She manages to be both innocent and all-knowing at the same time in that one.
-

Ohmigod! I just saw her not long ago in THE KID. This is really sad, She was a wonderful lady.

Anthony was also relieved after the very first NY get together we attended. He went with me because he was worried that I was meeting a bunch of strangers from the Internet. We went to Angus McIndoe's on 44th Street and 8th Avenue sometime in 2003. Larry was not yet a part of the group and it was small but it was a beginning.

I've always liked her best in PROMENADE. And her Alka-Seltzer commercials.
I saw her THE LAST SWEET DAYS OF ISAAC with Austin Pendleton.

This is very true. I joined in 2004. I do remember my first get together at Barrymore's. I was on crutches, as I recall.
-
Funny Keith wasn't worried when I flew to Portland for the 1st gathering there. Bryan dropped me off at DR JMK's & Betsy drove me back to Bryan's. Maybe it helped Bryan delivered me & knew where I was ;)
-
I just last night watched Alice in LEGEND.
-
LOL-I'm thinking of DR Cilla who got into the car with Keith & me to go to the second gathering at DR JMK's.
-
Druxy at least might get a kick out of this: I'm catching up on some reading and cracked open the May/June issue of SCRIPT, the inside cover and first page of which are emblazoned with a two page ad touting their "Big Break" contest. In a huge font across both pages it states: CONTEST DEADLINE JUNE 1, 2001. :)
-
I forgot! I also saw Alice in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S LEMMINGS with Chevy Chase at the Village Gate. she played Mick Jagger, as I recall.

I followed this with a ;D but it took so long for it to post I had to remove it as DR elmore's post wasn't funny.

Bruce yesterday my physical therapist said it will be 8 weeks before the bruised tendon is healed. Unfortunately this means I can't go to L.A. in mid July. :(
-
Well, you must plan a trip for the end of November so you can see our show.
-
Back from a four and a half mile jog - I'd only intended to do the four but took a slightly different route that added on the extra half mile. I do believe I just burned most of that half a lettuce wedge and attendant dressing.

My favorite recording of hers were "If Mama Was Married" with Virginia Sandifur on Sondheim: A Musical Tribute (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Sondheim-A-Musical-Tribute-1973-Concert-Cast/2096) and as Mrs. Mayor on the original Seussical (http://castalbums.org/recordings/Seussical-2000-Original-Broadway-Cast/2223).

BK, about your bug bites: check very carefully the bottom sheet of your bed for small blood spots. It sounds like bed bugs to me, and you might have brought them in on your luggage. You wouldn't have a great many bites depending on how heavy the infestation. I had very few bites, just a feeling that there were critters in bed with me.
~~~No Bedbug Vibes for BK!!~~

Well, I'm off now to usher for a local dance school's end of the year show.
Be back later!

Saturday morning greetings! It's our 2-wedding day
I don't think I could get Keith to go to two weddings in one day.
LOL, DR Jane! Our son was in the first one and the groom in the second one was a former student/Scout of DH Richard's, so he couldn't really get out of either one. We are home and kind of wedding-ed out.

I suppose it is easier to get out of weddings when you have to travel long distances to them. I've missed some I would really have liked to have been there for, and in locations I wanted to visit.

Yup, it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't done the show.

The beginning of the month would be easier. What are the dates? It would be great if a night for the L.A. locals could be coordinated & our DR's in Arizona could also go.

I am quite sure that one of them would love to join our merry troupe (Bobby), but you won't let them!

It's not bedbugs - I checked - no blood no nothing. This is from flying things.
-
Thinking about having a little halibut for dinner. VERY low in calories - 8 oz is under four hundred calories and because I ran so far today I'll still be well under 1000, which actually isn't really enough.

T.O.D.
If you don't count the dinners and the ice cream meetings with former DRs Jed and Ann, I have had three four five six HHW gateherings.
1.) The first one was in Portland with BK, Jed, Ann, MBarnum, George, JMK, and Betsy. This was for a book reading and signing that BK was doing.
2.) Was George, Jane and her DH Keith when they returned from their cruise. We had lunch on the waterfront.
3.) A visit with Tomovoz, Colin, George, Jed and Ann during Tom's last U.S tour.
4.) A short coffee chat with JMK, Jed, Ann, and me when JMK was in town to do a concert reveiw.
5.) A delightful lunch and afternoon with FJL, Skip, George, and me.
6.) A dinner and then performance of THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X with George in the cast; and viewed by BK, David Wechter, Ann, MBarnum, and me.

Oh wait! George was not on the cruise with Jane and Keith, but he was at lunch.

Good Evening!
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!
That's right!

Today's rehearsal on stage went very well.
And, thankfully, the copier did not jam either. -And I spent a good chunk of today's rehearsal in the copy room.
But, the stage rehearsal did go well.

And OKLAHOMA opens July 8?
-
Jose mentioned the vote yesterday. There was only one Democratic vote against the Marriage Equality Bill and that came from the usual suspect, raging Homophobe (but I don't hate gay people even though my grandaughter is a lesbian and she'll burn in hell and I've been divorced (but that was a normal marriage) but I don't hate gay people) Ruben Diaz
And watching and listening to Sen. Diaz ramble on and on over his allotted two-minute slot... And then watching and listening to him challenge the President of the Senate about the procedural rules - and, in the process, continue to eat into his extra time - which they did grant him... ASS!
-
I think that is funny (now that we have been together so long) that anyone would be worried about meeting any of us.
-
And OKLAHOMA opens July 8?
Our First Preview is July 8. Our official Opening Night is July 14. -And we've already been told that some newspapers and other media outlets want to come back and re-review this remount.

It's scheduled to be a warm, muggy day here in the borough of Manhattan.
I really wanted to get down to DC to see Oklahoma but with the dental work and a trip to Michigan in August I don't think it will happen. I will have to wait for the NYC opening.
Well... The production will be running through October 2. Possibly October 9. And then possibly October 16.

When I look at My Profile is says that I joined October 21, 2003, but that was the date of the new board. How do i find out when I actually started at HHW?
-
I just finished watching David Suchet as Hercule Poirot in "Lord Edgware Dies," and now I will watch Peter Ustinov in the same role in another Agatha Christie mystery.
-
Jose - What? No mention of the OKLAHOMA tribute parody video from last fall? :) :)
"Everything's Up to Date at the Arena"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kIMKGkAaRM
I actually believe that made the "Press Packet" from the Fall run. -Because of all the reviews and other press about the production, they ended up giving everyone CD-ROMs with copies of the reviews and links to other features. Otherwise, each person would have received a tree. ;)
-
TOD - I haven't been to a single meet up. But I plan to head down this fall for the event at LACC. I hope the timing works out!
It better!

Ovation TV is currently showing the first season of "Fame" - The TV Series. The location shots of NYC circa 1982 are amazing!

Can you see the member list? If so, that should have your official join date, although maybe not.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
-The BIG Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating and Walking and Eating tour.
That was really something!!!!
Watching DR Jane savor(!) her meal at Zaytinya in DC. ;)
It was good, almost as enjoyable as the company. I was there because DR elmore said I needed to see the Library of Congress & then he couldn't coordinate a trip there.
I also had fun the night before listening to you preform during the play though I was disappointed I couldn't see you. It was my first time to see an orchestra pit under the stage.
Aw, Thank You, DR Jane.
-And you happen to come back to DC to see Oklahoma!, you'll be able to see me - and the rest of the pit, since we're actually positioned on a "schoolhouse" platform that has been set up over some of the seats in the east side of the house. ;)
-
I'm cooking up 8 oz. of halibut filet just for the halibut.
-
I put a tiny bit of butter on top, some seasoning, and some lemon.
-
The play I was going to see tonight I'll be going to see a week from tonight.
-
Finished watching Rififi and shall watch something else, then start on my contextual commentary.
-
I think we all "joined" that day, TCB. Before that one didn't need to sign in -- you could just sign your post with any name.

Yes, the member list says 10/21/03, but I don't think that is correct.

Every gathering has been simply terrific!!!

A friend of mine just sent me this photo from 1975. It was taken backstage at Tacoma Little Theatre. I have no idea who the girl in the photo might be, but the guy is kind of hot!
-
Boy, that was a long time ago. So many names of people I miss.

DR TCB - Via some Googling and some rolling back of the numbers, so to speak. I just searched for "TCB haineshisway". Then I looked for the earliest entry on the search results page. Then since each set of Notes and Posts is "numbered" in the URL, I just went back to earlier posts by changing the number in the URL. Etc., etc., etc...

DR Jose I wish I could go to DC. Will you be visible when you do the show in L.A?
-
Nice photo DR TCB!
-
'night

Thanks, Jane.
G'night!

Druxy at least might get a kick out of this: I'm catching up on some reading and cracked open the May/June issue of SCRIPT, the inside cover and first page of which are emblazoned with a two page ad touting their "Big Break" contest. In a huge font across both pages it states: CONTEST DEADLINE JUNE 1, 2001. :)
Okay....
But, why me?
???

Yay, very cool!

I just watched bits and pieces of a documentary called "Guys 'N Divas: Battle of the High School Musicals" on LOGO. From the IMDB:
"A documentary on the intensely competitive world of high school musicals in Southern Indiana, with a focus on three schools that spend tens of thousands of dollars on their productions in order to compete for admission to the International Thespian Festival."
-One school spent $14,000 on a production of an original(!) musical. WOW!
-
DR Jose I wish I could go to DC. Will you be visible when you do the show in L.A?
I dunno. -Will I, bk? ;)
You will indeed be VERY visible for the entire show.

Tonight, my wife and I watched THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU.
My son gave be a DVD of that and UNKNOWN for Father's Day.
I guess I have to hang my head in shame again, because I enjoyed that one also...
:'(
...with the exception of the ending, which I thought was very weak.
:)
Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are both very likable and they have excellent chemistry.
-
Jose - Which is the best of the four sides for seeing the show?
Well, the tech table table is set up in West - which is opposite the bandstand, so... West.
-
And since tomorrow is another rehearsal day for me... -Although, we're not starting until 11:00 tomorrow morning. -Yeah! -And then after rehearsal, a new restaurant by the theatre is hosting a reception for us. The restaurant will be opening officially on Monday, and I guess they just wanted to go through a trial run of sorts. In any case...
I'm gonna walk the dog, and then get ready for bed.
Goodnight.

LOL-I'm thinking of DR Cilla who got into the car with Keith & me to go to the second gathering at DR JMK's.
I was going to say something about that. You were the first HHW DR I met in person on the way to JMK's house. I believe it was Jane and Keith, George, JMK and Betsey and me...hope I'm not forgetting anyone. It was memorable because it was my first HHW get-together and I was very relieved to find I liked everyone just as much in person. I remember telling DR Jane when they dropped me off that now I knew I wanted to go to New York
-
The walking and eating and walking and eating in NYC was great. It was great to meet BK in LA. Going to The Brain From Planet and Last Starfighter with the gang, walking through Central Park and the walk and walk and walk to Serendipity, the fabulous meals at FJL and Skip's. Dinner with Ben and Ant....gees I've had a lot of really good times with you guys :)

Because of your writing and screenwriting expertise. Never mind. ;D

Today was really great. Larry Smith, the friend with Parkinson's who rode his bike 300 miles across South Dakota finished his ride and I was there at the celebration as he crossed the finish line. It was such a great day.
-
I also went shopping tonight. Since I stupidly threw away my fat clothes when I lost all that weight, I have no summer clothes that fit me. Well I didn't until tonight. there was a great sale going on so I got a lot of stuff. I feel much better now
-
The Goldstein sisters came over to watch the datura flowers open. We also saw one nighthawk head over for the park.
-
I went to Gavins Point Dam today. I didn't have my camera. The amount of water is just incredible. It was perhaps matched only by the line of cars waiting to get close to the spillway on the South Dakota side of the river. I decided not to wait that long, so I drove across the dam and watched from the Nebraska side where there wasn't a line. It was farther away, but I could see the power of the river just fine from there
-
Thanks for the "Poor Little Person" clip. Great to enjoy it with the Ed Sullivan footage around it.

Glad you were able to be there to share it with him.

Just stumbled across this song from "The Visit." Makes me want to hear the rest of Kander and Ebb's score:

Night, all.

Just spent the last three hours writing the contextual commentary - glad to have it out of the way, but not exactly a fun way to spend a Saturday night. I'm sure I'll finesse it, but I think it's snappy and has some funny stories.
-
Thanks to DR FJL for posting the POOR LITTLE PERSON link....
Alice has one of my favorite songs on the HAIR cast album as well.......Air from Hair.

Tomorrow is a nice day when I don't have to do anything.

Saw a local production of [Title of Show] this eve at TheatreWorks (of Silicone Valley) which had 2 cast members from NY, Farah Alvin and Jamison Stern, a local person and another I didn't know. The first 3/4 of the show is good, but when they added the part about going to Broadway, it sorta lacks. I love the show for all its references and stuff like that, and the cast did a great job. They portrayed their characters well. I sorta thought I wanted to do this show at some point, but I think I don't anymore. Good to finally see it and get it out of my system.
DD Ben is awesome.

Topic of the Day:
I've been to more HHW gatherings in Portland than anywhere else...three (or would it be four?) with BK.
A mini-gathering with just PennyO and I twice (once, she was part of the reading of a play and the second time was seeing her "Jewish Thighs on Broadway" in North Bend, Washington)
Meeting Fred, Skip and Julie at the reading of The Last Starfighter in Issaquah, Washington
And I think TCB and I had lunch with Fred and Skip, as well.
