Jose, I think you probably met him - he was at our opening night of Lost and Unsung.

So...

George and and TCB drove up to my hotel, I hopped in the car, and away we went up to the Snoqualmie Casino! Once we got to the casino we had lunch - Thank You Very Much, DR TCB! - and also took a little bit of time to do some gambling. *I actually came out ahead by $10. Of course, if I had actually decided to play roulette as soon as I walked up to the table, I probably would have come out ahead quite a bit more since my numbers came up three times in a row, but... well... yadda-yadda-yadda...

After we left the casino, we took a drive over to Snoqualmie Falls so that I could see, well... the Snoqualmie Falls. It was quite beautiful, and the view path is set up nicely so you could get a couple of different, well.. views. When I first stepped out, I thought it was raining, but soon realized I was feeling the mist coming up from the falls down below.

And then it was back in the car and back to downtown Seattle.

All in all, it was a great way to spend a couple of hours in Seattle. DR TCB was a very gracious host and tour guide, and DR George was a great chauffeur. -And the food at the casino buffet was actually pretty good too. Oh, and I left some doughnuts for both of them to share during the drive home and/or for a late night snack and/or breakfast tomorrow morning.

P.S.- I did not get the memo about the matching shirts. ::)

Were those falls used in "Twin Peaks", or was that somewhere else around there?

And now I'm trying to figure out what I want to do tonight, a.k.a. my last night in Seattle. There's actually a concert by the Seattle Symphony, so... Or I could just continue to walk around downtown and Capitol Hill... Or I could just take a nap... ;)

Rehearsal went well.  Got the news that James McCloskey, who, for many many years taught and/or ran the LACC Theater Academy has passed away.  He was ninety-five, so what an incredible and very long life he had.  I did many shows with him, and wrote the musical version of The Comedy of Errors with him, and he was responsible always for letting me come back and do my new musicals there.  I saw him about two months ago, and he has always been very supportive of whatever I've done.  He went into the hospital for some surgery and passed away there.

That's very sad, BK!  I'm sorry.

The two Outside The Box episodes are now fully cast, save for our ensemble and one lead, but the latter should be taken care of this evening.

As for myself, I think I'm going to take my bike out for a spin, and then try to find a place to get a light dinner. -I don't need another casino buffet tonight. ;)

LOL regarding the shirts.  At least you wore blue so you weren't completely out of the loop ;)
