Gins! How was the workshop??

DR PennyO - thanks for asking. I've done 3 "performances" this week:

Wednesday - guest lectured on prospect research to a fundraising and grantwriting class at Wright State University

Thursday - did the Grantseeking Basics for Individuals in the Arts workshop. This one was especially stressful, because it's new to my repertoire. The group was quite small - the arts consortium didn't do a very good marketing job - but the dozen people who were there were quite interesting and, yes, appreciative.

Today - the Grantseeking Basics (geared to nonprofit organizations) workshop that I do once a month and could probably do in my sleep. Today's group was very tuned in and included 2 students who had been in the Wednesday class. They all asked great questions, which often led directly to the next thing I was going to talk about - I love when that happens!

Oh DR CILLA LIZ - when you're meeting up with Scout today, don't forget the Putnam County Playhouse - we're doing TKAM this September and anything that you can get for our display case will be appreciate. We will of course reimburse you!

Thanks!

TKAM? THE KING AND ME?

I also wanted to chime in on the punctuation question that DR Vixmom asked yesterday and that DR derBrucer answered exactly as I would have:

If something is a whole work (book, periodical, play, etc.) - italicize or underline; if it's a part of a whole (chapter in a book, article in a periodical, song in a musical, etc.), put in quotes.

In a past life, I taught the ins and outs of the various bibliographic styles - APA, MLA, Turabian, etc. - and truly enjoyed it. Call me a geek.

Say What: Naked carpenter offending clients
Press-Telegram wire reports
Long Beach Press Telegram

OAKLAND — Most carpenters work in coveralls or at least pants and a shirt. Police say Percy Honniball prefers to do his work in his birthday suit.
"It's more comfortable," said Honniball in a phone interview Thursday. "The primary reason is so I (won't) dirty my clothes and have to get into my truck with dusty clothes on."

But not everyone is tolerant of nude carpenters. A homeowner called police when he arrived home early and found the worker buck naked.

"He got upset and he said 'You have to leave,"' Honniball said of the incident.

Oakland Police Officer Jesse Grant said when asked by the homeowner what was going on, Honniball "didn't address the fact that he was naked, only that he was sorry that he was behind in the work" building bookcases.

Honniball had been caught working in the buff three times before in Berkeley.

Honniball said Thursday he doesn't plan to work naked again.

Hey, Ron, if you need a good carpenter..........

I would have answered the same way. Funny, when you work at circulation and after reference leaves, you get the most interesting questions. I have often been asked questions about formatting also..

The only style I have no familiarity with is the style often used in writing the biological sciences.

THE RIVALS and THE SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL. I love them both, but the SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL is better, with a bit of heart.

Finally to the topic of the day.....

Who do I want to have dinner with...

I suspect many of you would also love to have dinner or lunch with Bk!! The man has had an interesting life and has perhaps much insight and witticism to share....

Actors??? Hmm, this is a tough one.... There are SO many...

Matthew Ashford and Melissa Reeves.... They both seem down to earth and nice individuals... (discuss anything BUT the present state of days)

Pierce Brosnan... Angela Lansbury (I adore her for she is incredibly talented), William Macy, Liam Neeson and Colin Firth....

One of my students workers actually had tea once with Pierce Brosnan.

Congrats to DR GINNY....and go home early vibes for you!

Talk to DH RICHARD about maybe coming over to see DEATH BY CHOCOLATE in July at PCPH. I am directing it, and I will let you know as it is cast and in rehearsal if you should CONSIDER making the trip!

I don't think DR CP is interested in coming up....but time will tell, I guess.

Remember DR's RLP & GEORGE that I took my hat in hand and gave Ms. Peters grand and extensive kudos for SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE....I found her exquisite and perfect in the role(s).

DR JRand - we'll definitely consider it upon your recommendation. Also, the fall (?) production of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Turns out I won't get away from work until 3:30 - stuff to do.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** April 22, 2006, 12:19:18 PM »

T.O.D.

The first name that came to mind was Angela Lansbury and I would probably pick Joe Allen's to dine. Apparently it would be a crowded lunch or dinner, because several other dear readers included her. And we would speak of cabbages and kings.... of bedknobs and broomsticks........ of Potts and Lovetts.... and Fletchers and Iselins, too.

My second choice would be the WSMA, Brent Barrett, the dinner would be in my hotel suite, and the conversation would be nobody's business but ours.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cherry Coke and cheesecake soon. OK? Maybe even Oreo cake.

Potato Chips and frosting for all.

Kerry · « **Reply #116 on:** April 22, 2006, 12:20:53 PM »

I'd have lunch with Maggie Smith.

Or Dolores Hart.

A couple of others I forgot: Helen Mirren, Dame Judith Dench

Yes, she was very good in that. Perfectly rotten in ANNIE GET YOUR GUN and THE GOODBYE GIRL, however.

I would guess the conversation would be about whatever comes up, right?
