In less than a week right now, TCB, Nov. 13th we open (but not in Venice, Verona or Cremona etc.)!

Should I bother with putting it on the calender I wonder??

TCB · « **Reply #91 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:27:54 PM »

Ohhhhhh!

No it is a slightly tarnished version of the James Bond movie. It does also star the lovely Clive Owen (Gosford Park). It is about Prison gardening!

Maya · « **Reply #93 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:31:27 PM »

LOL, such an expressive response!

When does Oliver open??

TCB · « **Reply #94 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:32:57 PM »

Of course you should list it on the calendar, Maya. We want to know all about the play, as well as the boyfriend in the dress.

Maya · « **Reply #95 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:35:19 PM »

TCB--hahaha. Well, due to the accident, the dress has been postponed. I'm hoping it'll happen at the cast party!!

The thought of him in a dress is so making me want to buy a scanner!

Wow, Tom!

Don't you think that the 1980 Cast of CHERBOURG is terrific?

I have it on a reel to reel tape; the original LP is somewhere in Florida with someone who was "dying" to have it!

Baretta and Bi Michelin were the stars, if I do remember well.

There also was a Broadway prod almost at the same time but I don't believe they made a recording of it!

Anyone knows?

TCB · « **Reply #97 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:37:48 PM »

Why thank you for asking, Maya (your check is in the mail). "Oliver open on December 12th in Gig Harbor, Washington's Encore Theatre.

It's nice that we can help plug each other's show.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #98 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:40:30 PM »

So you will be picking pockets on my birthday TCB. I must shop for candy.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #99 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:41:38 PM »

DR François - your umbrella will be mailed this week.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #100 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:47:57 PM »

The board is tricontinental at the moment.

TCB · « **Reply #101 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:56:08 PM »

Tommy. I think we're alone now.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #102 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:57:52 PM »

I think all DR Opening Nights should be on the Calendar!

MrMarkBakalor · « **Reply #103 on:** November 07, 2003, 01:58:35 PM »

I believe the attachment problem has been fixed. Let me know if you have trouble uploading files to posts.

bk · « **Reply #104 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:11:36 PM »

Ooh, where's Jrand when you need him? Somebody, quick, put up a photo!

I had a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich. I had cole slaw. I feel logey and bad, but my chills have abated and I'm not sneezing.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #105 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:14:34 PM »

here I am!

And here is your Allison Hayes Picture of the Day. The lovely Miss Hayes as the leader of a crime racket in The High Powered Rifle, a movie that has disappeared from the face of the earth.

This is a test... it is only a test

Jrand73 · « **Reply #107 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:15:08 PM »

Thank you Mark Bakalor!

OMG I am a SENIOR MEMBER! 250 must be the magic number for the 4th star!

Let me be the first to THANK Mark Bakalor for fixing the slight glitches we have had today since switching to the new server.

Mark AND Russell have both done a fine job.

Personally I didn't miss seeing dozens of photos posted in today's notes. It was actually nice to just read people's thoughts.

I do love the occasional image now and then..

MrMarkBakalor · « **Reply #111 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:24:33 PM »

Thanks, you two. It's nice to know many appreciate the work that goes into maintaining projects such as this.

Matthew · « **Reply #112 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:28:20 PM »

BK - feed a cold... a very good reason to eat

Emily · « **Reply #113 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:31:15 PM »

Hey what ever DID happen to Russell? He stopped posting all of a sudden!

Maybe we scared him away...

BTW - I think I may have to stop checking HHW from work if we keep posting imgaes of women, pistols drawn and the large caption "High Powered Rifle"! Think of me in my firearm free zone!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #114 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:35:46 PM »

Well, well...the message board seems to be loading much faster now.

JRand, nope, haven't got my Scarlet Street yet. Why?Should I be shocked by anything? Mr. Valley, had me correct and proof the copy, so I'm not expecting any surprises.

Maya, having grown up in Northern Kentucky, I have followed the progress of NKU over the years since its inception (1968...the year I graduated from High School). I have heard good things the last few years about its theatre program. I was there just last week (My brother lives right behind the school). I suspect you could do a lot worse and there is lots to do in the Greater Cincinnati area.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:36:20 PM »

Yes, Mark and Russell deserve a big thanks for staying on top of everything as we made the switch. I can be fairly vile when I'm frustrated, but we really do appreciate the hard work.

Emily · « **Reply #116 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:38:19 PM »

BK - make soup. Lots of soup.

And the best soup for colds has to be (drumroll please)...

FRENCH ONION SOUP (please note that THIS IS NOT my family's centuries old recipe - gotta love that French Canadian blood coursing through my veins - but a very close version I took off of the net. The secret ingredient = a strong beer, preferably stout but really any kind gives a nice flavor!)

Serves 8 to 12 hungry people

3 pounds mixed onions, chopped thick (i.e. red, Spanish white, yellow, etc.)
4 oz (1 stick) butter
6 oz double or triple boch beer or strong stout
1 lb bread, broken into medium chunks
Chunks and slices of Swiss, Gruyere, or Monterey Jack cheese
64 oz veal stock or 32 oz beef stock and 32 oz chicken stock

Pour stock into large pot. Heat until boiling and then simmer.

In large pan, melt the butter then add onions. If not all of the onions will fit into the pan at once, make two batches and split the butter accordingly. Fry the onions until medium brown and an obvious aroma is detected. *Do not* clean the pan and put onions into already simmering stock. Without cleaning the pan, pour the 6 oz. of beer . Heat on low until the alcohol starts to burn off and "scrape" the residue from the onions into the beer solution. Let the solution sit on the heat for several minutes, until even darker and more aromatic. Add only enough of the beer solution to the rest of the soup according to your taste. I gave 6 oz. because this is usually sufficient, but you may prefer less. Add seasonings to soup according your taste. For example, I prefer ground black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and a little salt -- no big deal.

Preheat oven to broil (500F or 260C). Let soup sit on low heat to give the flavors a chance to fuse together... this should not take too long. Keep tasting the soup to judge as to when it's done!

Place chunks of bread into oven-safe bowls. Pour soup into bowls and layer the cheese on top of soup, completely covering the soup.

In heated oven, set the filled bowls until cheese is lightly brown (or hey, dark brown, depending on your taste). This usually takes only about ten minutes but this will depend on the type of cheese you're using. Keep an eye on it.

This soup is perfect for colds because it is hot, yummy and the onion flavour is strong enough that you can actually taste them with a stuffed nose!

and by the way... use the beef stock. The others are very non-authentic.

Well, my goodness - our latest registered user is Mr. John Doe. Isn't that interesting? Why people would bother to register under John Doe is rather strange, given that they could just lurk and read. But, I guess some people don't "get" it - we don't use pseudonyms here like on other boards - we are one big happy family unlike other boards. Well, perhaps Mr. Doe will post.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #119 on:** November 07, 2003, 02:40:43 PM »

Faster loading down in OZ too. I appreciate all the work too. Like Craig though It was good not have to have so many photos. I enjoy them but will be pleased when the novelty wears off a bit.
