Ruby Washington/The New York Times
“Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps,” is migrating five blocks to the Cort Theater from the American Airlines Theater. It is one of two hit Broadway plays to move on the same day.
(http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/04/24/nyregion/move2-650.jpg)
Ruby Washington/The New York Times
The “August” move will cost $650,000.
NYTIMES (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/25/nyregion/25move.html)
The Shows Must Go On, but Not Until They Change Theaters
...
Getting from Point A to Point B has always been daunting in Manhattan, but rarely has any New York moving van saga been as operatic as the simultaneous transfer of two hit Broadway plays to new theaters on the same day.
This year’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “August: Osage County,” a sprawling drama about a dysfunctional family inhabiting a rambling Oklahoma home, is moving to the Music Box Theater from the Imperial Theater next door. And “Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps,” a witty, quick-change take on the 1935 movie thriller, is migrating five blocks to the Cort Theater from the American Airlines Theater.
The Broadway-to-Broadway transfer of even one play is more rare than a total solar eclipse. According to the Broadway League, the last time was nearly eight years ago when “Waiting in the Wings,” starring Rosemary Harris and Lauren Bacall, segued from the Walter Kerr to the Eugene O’Neill in May 2000.
But the strange coincidence of two plays transferring on the same day “is almost stratospheric,” said Charlotte St. Martin, the executive director of the Broadway League.
In both cases, their theaters had been booked for other shows; but because they were unexpected hits, their producers decided that the expense of a transfer was worth the gamble.
Because “39 Steps” has only four onstage actors in a seemingly bare-bones set, and is moving only to 48th Street from 43rd street, its transfer might be expected to require little more than a van and something of a plan. And since “August” is literally moving to the playhouse next door — to 239 West 45th Street from 249 West 45th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues — it might appear that stagehands could move the show with a few handcarts and a dolly or two.
But no. In all, the two shows will employ more than 60 stagehands, carpenters, electricians, prop people, sound technicians, teamsters and wardrobe workers toiling for more than a week, transporting 90,000 pounds of sets and equipment in 27 trucks, including four tractor trailers.
And the total moving bill for both shows? In excess of $1.25 million.

Gentle Knight was pricking on the plaine,
Y cladd in mightie armes and siluer shielde,
Wherein old dints of deepe wounds did remaine,
The cruell markes of many' a bloudy fielde;
Yet armes till that time did he neuer wield:
His angry steede did chide his foming bitt,
As much disdayning to the curbe to yield:
Full iolly knight he seemd, and faire did sitt,
As one for knightly giusts and fierce encounters fitt.
But on his brest a bloudie Crosse he bore,
The deare remembrance of his dying Lord,
For whose sweete sake that glorious badge he wore,
And dead as liuing euer him ador'd:
Vpon his shield the like was also scor'd,
For soueraine hope, which in his helpe he had:
Right faithfull true he was in deede and word,
But of his cheere did seeme too solemne sad;
Yet nothing did he dread, but euer was ydrad.
Vpon a great aduenture he was bond,
That greatest Gloriana to him gaue,
That greatest Glorious Queene of Faerie lond,
To winne him worship, and her grace to haue,
Which of all earthly things he most did craue;
And euer as he rode, his hart did earne
To proue his puissance in battell braue
Vpon his foe, and his new force to learne;
Vpon his foe, a Dragon horrible and stearne.

***CLEANING VIBES***[/size][/color]
to DR George![/size][/color]
Thanks! I was a bit industrious last night and I hope that it'll inspire me to continue in the morning and clean my TV room (it really needs it). Anyway, I swapped out my kitchen faucet...again. I got the first faucet for my new place before I actually moved in, in October 2006. It had a chrome finish. A couple of months ago, I finally decided to install it, but it turns out that it didn't really fit. The counter behind it was too close and the faucet couldn't be turned on all the way. Since it had been too long ago to get a refund or even exchange it, I went to Home Depot to get another one. They had two that would fit and were the same style, but different colors/finishes. However, only had the one white one in stock and that didn't really match. Here's a picture (and you can see how close the faucet is to the counter right behind it :P):
(http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t127/georged55/FawcetinWhite.jpg)
-
Even though it didn't match, I ended up buying the white one because I needed a working faucet and I wasn't going to put back the original...I threw it out before I knew that the new chrome faucet wouldn't fit. Well, they finally got the nickel finish faucets in stock and a couple of weeks ago, I bought one! But what to do with the original chrome and the now unnecessary white finish faucet? It turns out that my parents' rental house needed a new faucet and the chrome one was perfect for that! I put that in on Sunday. Also, my parents have a white sink in their home (where I grew up) and they'll take that! It's perfect for them. So last night, I removed the white faucet from my sink and put in the nickel finish faucet. Here's a picture of that:

I'm going to install the white faucet in my parents' house on Sunday. ;D

Happy News in the land of McLaughlin and Morelli. It means we will be separated from the end of July through the middle of October but it's for a good reason.
Anthony got a job!!!
He will be in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at
The Fireside Dinner Theatre (http://www.firesidetheatre.com/)
playing Twimble and Womper in HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING.
He starts rehearsal August 4th and runs from August 22nd through October 19th.
He played the role of Finch in HTSIBWRT back in High School a few years (;)) ago and now he's moved up to character roles. At least it's a part.
He may finally get to
The House on the Rock (http://www.thehouseontherock.com/)
while he's there. He has two days off (Monday and Tuesday). People have recommended seeing THOTR but in all our trips to Minneapolis we never had time for a side trip. It's about 90 minutes from Fireside and he will be driving out to Wisconsin so he will probably see the sight.
I hope I can get out to see the show. It doesn't come at a good time for my work schedule but I may be able to carve out a day or two and fly to Madison to see him. The theatre is about 40 minutes from there.
And in other news, today I will listen to Evening Primrose. Tonight we will watch our Britcoms. Tomorrow Anthony will perform in his dance class salon (I will be present with a video camera) and Sunday we will be attending a 40th birthday party for one of Anthony's cousins.
That is our weekend in a nutshell.

Good morning, all! I slept in again and now I'm moving around, thinking about a second cup of coffee. I wish there were an accompanying piece of pie, to paraphrase Mr Irving Berlin.
I think I've discovered a bit of recording fraud on the part of the Fat Conductor of Limited Talent and Limitless Ego, and I sent my evidence out to everyone on the project. The dilemma is that, while he's passing something off as original when he himself created it - as he may have done a couple of other times in the past - and what he's written isn't bad and sticks closely to the abbreviated text found in the vocal score, it's grammatically a mess and needs adjustment. And after that last sentence, I'm ashamed to be throwing rocks. For the nonce, I'm calling it the creation of a madman and letting the chips fall wherever.
DR singdaw, I miss Paige O'Hara! I've known her since around 1981, and I'm very fond of her. My late great friend Bill Tynes adored her, and the last time I saw him was the December 1986 evening after the dying man, assisted by friends at strategic locales, walked blocks from his apartment on West 45th Street to the Saturday matinee of THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, in which Paige was playing the title role. That evening, Bill held a farewell Christmas party and gave us gifts: mine was a pair of argyle socks. The next day he flew back to California for the holiday and to die. He died on Jan 9, 1987.

Bill was the original producer of JUBILEE, and I wear the argyles to every performance of the show I can attend. He was a great great friend.

The lesbian writer Mercedes d'Acosta wrote a biography titled HERE LIES THE HEART in which she mentions, in rather lurid and oblique purple prose, her affairs with Eva le Gallienne, Marlene Dietrich, and Garbo. Louise Brooks' comment was the book should have been called HERE LIES THE HEART AND LIES AND MORE LIES. I can only aspire to Ms d'Acosta's level of reminiscences!

I am looking to get THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA on Blu-ray today. Disney supposedly sent it to me in overnight mail. A review needs to be posted ASAP, so I'm keeping an eye out for the mail/UPS/DHL/FedEx. I have no idea if it will get here in time.
I have only seen it once when the DVD came out a couple of years ago (I borrowed it from a friend; I didn't buy a copy for myself), so I really can't even write the movie review part of the critique since my memory isn't sharp about the movie (and I've seen quite a few other movies since then!) I see that DIsney has ported a good many of the special features from the DVD release (two commentaries, a handful of featurettes), so it will likely take me a good portion of the day to watch everything.
That means I may be recording tonight's TV shows and not be able to watch them until the weekend.

Cute Paige O'Hara story:
When Skip's show Time and Again was playing in San Diego, there was one production number where the cast was decked out in green costumes, the one minor blip in an otherwise really excellent costume design. But the green costumes (which I hear everyone thought had been an interesting idea for that number in concept) didn't work, and there was no way of coming up with entirely new costumes in time for the opening. Indeed, the green costumes ended up being mentioned online as a surprising exception to the costume designer's fine fine work and great taste, and IIRC there were even pictures on the internet (even way back in 1996).
So Paige O'Hara shows up at the show one matinee wearing an outfit with the exact green color of the costumes in that number; Skip talked to her, laughed, and said something like "That's the exact color of..." and she completed his thought "the costumes in the second act. I know. I'm wearing this in solidarity." Skip said something like "I wouldn't have imagined you'd even have something that color in your closet." Paige said, "Well, it was a bridesmaid dress" - and both of them laughed and laughed.

I did however find out some interesting info on another painting I've had for years. I bought it many years ago for a girlfriend of mine, and I was trying to decide which piece of art I would take down to hang the Farmer piece, and decided on this particular one. So I decided to Google the artist, and it turns out he's a very well known and respected Spanish painter named Jose Campuzano and evidently my little painting (which is quite lovely) may actually be worth some buckage.

We will leave aside, for the time being, the question of why you still have the painting that you bought for her. :)
She was a "free spirit" with no home of her own, really, she used to drift from place to place, so she asked me to keep it. She was my "exotic" girlfriend--I was in my 20s, she was in her mid-30s, from Morocco, and was a very successful belly dancer here for years. She also had a glass eye, which I did not realize until our first night together when she said "My eye hurts" and then she popped it out of her socket and set it on the nightstand. I withstood the strong urge to scream like a girly-man. ;D

The audio version of How I Paid for College is on its way to me from one of our branches. Apparently, the same narrator, Jeff Woodman, will be recording the new book.

Did Ben plan Nadia's murder so he could recruit Sayid? I never thought of this. But someone on televisionwithoutpity posed it. And the more i think about it the more it could be true. That would be crazy!

No, it never crossed my mind. Ben was surprised to see Sayid in Tikrit. He would not have been surprised had he "expected" to see him. IMO, of course.

A Trifecta of Cheesecake - my new unauthorized sequel to a Confederacy of Dunces
I don't know if your new book can offer a bawdy laugh like the Confederacy's "12 inches of paradise," the slogan for Ignatius' hotdog stand.
Jack Eric Williams, the original Broadway Beadle Bamford, longed to play Ignatius in a film version, and I recall that he told me that Angela Lansbury had sent a recommendation for him to play the role to the holder of the option .

DR Elmore - the Offenbach piece played by the zookeeper's wife was "Go, Go, Go to Crete" from La Belle Helene.
In The Zookeeper's Wife, Diane Ackerman spends several pages on Offenbach - pp. 174-177. These reference are to the Large Print edition, the only copy available here today. I suppose the day may come when I'll appreciate large type, but for now I couldn't read a whole book in that format.

REAL LOST SPOILAGE THIS TIME:
jkafg ads;lfkj asl;kqpp qwepoiquwerp 0235098 a;asd;lfkja ja;lask qepoiu tqwe Actually, I think Ben could very well have planned Sayyid's wife's murder. I don't think he was surprised to see Sayyid at all--I think he just didn't want to be seen. Also he had that sinister smile on his face as he left Sayyid after Sayyid said he wanted to help kill more people. On another completely unrelated note, I got the impression last night that Ben is time travelling, too, and that is how he ended up in the Sahara Desert. I say this not only because of how he suddenly awoke there, but also how he had to ask what day and year it was from the hotel lady. We now return you to your regularly scheduled jibberish. asd;flijasd a;as;sldkja a; asd;lkjasdf a asd;aslkaja s a as;sdalkjdf a asdf;lkajasd

-
Feel better vibes to DR JRand!
-
As for "Lost" (again)...
You'll be swell, you'll be great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Or something like that - my apologies to Mr. Sondheim. In any case. I think the opening scene and some of the comments in the closing scene will be the big hook. Everyone is in and part of a game that got out of control. When Ben mentioned the rules changing, my mind really started to race. And then when Widmore said he would get his island back, well, there's definitely some meta-strategizing going on. We now return you to your regularly schedule programming and posting. Could it be? Yes it could. Something's coming. Something good. If I can wait.

I watched a movie called HAPPY ANNIVERSARY this morning. A 1959 movie with some great New York location photography. Patty Duke and Kevin Coughlin play the children of Mitzi Gaynor and David Niven.
A United Artists release, looking at the sets, I am think that some of the living room and the staircase was used a few years later when The Patty Duke Show from United Artists was filmed.
And Miss Mitzi Gaynor gives a sparkling and nuanced performance - it's probably the best thing I have ever seen her do. Credit to her and the director David Miller. This was based on a play ANNIVERSARY WALTZ....and too bad it's not better known.

BK, re: some of the comments on hand addressing your CD shipments. Since you get your money via PayPal, I'm assuming you know PayPal has a really easy automated multi-order shipping thingy (technical term), where about two clicks of your mouse (not a euphemism) will print out shipping labels with delivery confirmation. I use it for my eBay sales, and it's very quick and simple.
-
I still haven't listened to EP (not Elaine Paige or Extended Play or Euphemistic Platitude or any other combination of EP). I'm just too busy and I don't want to put it in the CD player and half listen while I'm working. I will listen this weekend!

Okay episode of MY NAME IS EARL....and glad to see he has recovered from his coma.
THE OFFICE had a rather disturbing - but still funny episode. Who knew Rye Bread was a tweaker? This could lead to all sorts of new developments.
As soon as they met Ryan in the club, my phone rang and it was Mr Ron Raines, who was responding to my phone call earlier about the Jerome Robbins exhibit at the NYPL. When I got off the phone, Ryan was trying to get some sleep so I missed everything.
Now to the important matter I forgot to bring up yesterday: the NYPL at Lincoln Center has two fascinating exhibits in their galleries right now: the large gallery is all Jerome Robbins: posters, photos, costumes, scene designs, great ephemera like Floria Laskey's leter detailing all the work he did on A FUNNY THING HAPPENED to a letter from a Russian Jew living in New Jersey (I think) telling him how much he'd been weeping since seeing his young life onstage in FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. There are five videos showing footage of the 1958 Ed Sullivan show original cast of WEST SIDE STORY, Mary Martin's PETER PAN and others, a vidoe of JEROME ROBBINS BROADWAY showing a rehearsal with Betty comden, Adolph Green, Nancy Walker and Chris alexander recreating "You Got Me" from ON THE TOWN, portions of his New York City Ballet choreography, another showing the great FANCY FREE. I didn't see any footage of my favorite City Ballet piece DANCES AT A GATHERING, which is both glorious and heartbreaking beyond belief that I cannot begn to describes its wonders, and footage from his failed BALLETS USA company.
There are also on display Trude Rittman's original copies of her music for "The small House of Uncle Thomas" and something, I think, for BILLION DOLLA BABY, and a ton of other wonderful pieces of memorabilia from photographs to contracts. Anyone coming into New York in the near futureshould try to catch it.
The other exhibit is on Songwriters and the Tonys.
-
Wow ANNIVERSARY WALTZ had a Broadway run of 611 performances, directed by Moss Hart and starring Kitty Carlisle (Hart) and MacDonald Carey with Mr Warren Berlinger in the Kevin Coughlin role.....
-
Anthony thanks you all for the congrats.
Yes, Jose, the performance schedule, although it's 9 shows, is different from the norm. Once they start performances they are dark Monday and Tuesday, have one show on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday they have two shows a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

Latest stupid eBay buyer question: some idiot just asked me if my $6.50 shipping charge for a large boxed set was per each DVD in the set. Yes, of course, I'm going to charge you $65 for shipping if you bid $9.99 on the set, it's a special just for you. Oy.
Sorry, Jeff, but I'm with the buyer. SOME sellers charge a flat rate "per item" regardless. It's one of those "gotcha" clauses that the buyer is supposed to detect BEFORE he bids.
It's along the same lines as selling something with a $.01 opening bid, but the shipping/handling charge (handling equalling labor, I guess) is something along the lines of $29. And, of course, it's something that can be shipped via USPS for $4.80.

The Act One Finale for La Belle Helene "pars, pars, pars pour la Crete" is also the tune used in the Act One Entry of the Kings for the Festivities and Contest of Intellectual Prowess. It occurs about seven minutes into the 9-minute finale.
Can you recommend a recording? Unfortunately, there isn't one in my library.
Oops, I checked again and there is one, with Felicity Lott, soprano.

Gorgeous day out which made running my errands a pleasure.

I heard from a PR person at Disney. The Blu-ray was put on a plane and will arrive here tonight at 9 P.M.!!!!!
OMG! These folks are serious about wanting to get this review up ASAP. So, I'll be working into the early morning. Don't expect to see me at the usual time tonight. I'll be Blu-raying!
-
Having this afternoon free, I've managed to watch everything I recorded last night.
I began with SUPERNATURAL, a funny/sad episode done in a manner of a reality TV show. Clever motif for an episode, and I enjoyed it even with some sad things happening.
-
Next came SMALLVILLE. Tom Wellig must have been on vacation since he was barely in the episode.
At one point, Jimmy and Chloe dance (a tango), and suffice to say they won't be appearing on DANCING WITH THE STARS any time soon.
-
Next I watched 30 ROCK. Another semi-funny outing, but the show really hasn't been on-point since they've come back. There were some funny things, but the show wasn't consistently funny for me.
-
THE OFFICE was hilarious. I just loved Stanley's comment "I better be in my bathtub with a glass of red wine in an hour or somebody's gonna die." And everyone got a moment of hilarity all their own.
Yes, the Ryan storyline suggests future trouble or possibly a move back to Scranton to escape the evils of the city.
-
Next came last night's CSI. Boy, did Brass and Stokes look like idiots being played by a con. Can't believe they fell for it.
-
Back with a new improved do, which is very kempt indeed.
-
Shortly I shall be on my way to the Ray Courts show.
-
MY NAME IS EARL. Yes, I, too, am glad he's finally out of that coma. Maybe we won't have to endure any more of those ridiculous "old sitcom" interludes which weren't the least bit funny.
-
And I finished my afternoon watching another episode of PSYCH. Well, I started it. It's the one that takes place at Comic Con with George Takai in a cameo bit. As I recall, it's a funny episode. I'll finish it when I go back down.
-
Here is BK with the new do.

She was a "free spirit" with no home of her own, really, she used to drift from place to place, so she asked me to keep it. She was my "exotic" girlfriend--I was in my 20s, she was in her mid-30s, from Morocco, and was a very successful belly dancer here for years. She also had a glass eye, which I did not realize until our first night together when she said "My eye hurts" and then she popped it out of her socket and set it on the nightstand. I withstood the strong urge to scream like a girly-man. ;D
It sounds like DR ELMORE isn't the only one with some stories to tell. ;)

I don't remember seeing any promos on TV for this release at all - maybe they want some Blue-Ray issue specific comments to hype the release.

Sorry, Jeff, but I'm with the buyer. SOME sellers charge a flat rate "per item" regardless. It's one of those "gotcha" clauses that the buyer is supposed to detect BEFORE he bids.
It's along the same lines as selling something with a $.01 opening bid, but the shipping/handling charge (handling equalling labor, I guess) is something along the lines of $29. And, of course, it's something that can be shipped via USPS for $4.80.
Me, too. you only have to get burned a couple times before you learn to check EVERYTHING out.

I'm catching a bit of DR PHIL today. What on earth would make someone go on the air and admit to sexually abusing his sister, brothers and daughter, and possibly his grandson?
Why would anyone willingly want the world to see what a horror they are?
I think you might be mistaken about chicken and egg -
this guy probably sexually abused his sister, brothers and daughter, and possibly his grandson so that he could get his fifteen minutes of TV fame.

If I could design my own house, it would have a large library-slash-pantry room right off the kitchen. Half the room would hold groceries, and the other half would be a library for all my cookbooks and books about food, with plenty of workspace to lay them out for a project or just to browse.
Is that impractical?
Somehow, I don't think I'll ever have the chance to worry about something like that.

Not alt all - in turn-of-the-century (19th-20th) houses it was called a butler's pantry. Our Norfolk brick Victorian town house had a huge one with glass paneled cupboards and lots of working shelf space - even room for a small table and chair.

Except he actually doesn't have a license. There was a big expose of him on the MSN News channel a couple of days ago. I knew that he had been married before Robin, and that the current marriage is on the rocks, but I didn't know he actually lost his license over 20 years ago when he hired a 19 year old female client to "work" in his office. That's when he went into jury consulting.

FRIDAY PRIMROSE REPORT

No CDs arrived today in little America (Tacoma)! I did receive my new One Touch can opener that I had ordered (but not from Kritzerland).
-
To Jeanne and RLP--do you seriously mean that if you saw an auction for a boxed set of 10 DVDs and it clearly stated $6.50 shipping both in the description and in the shipping cost field you would think you were being charged $65.00, i.e., $6.50 for each DVD in the boxed set? That's what happened in this particular instance. I totally understand if you're buying multiple items from the same seller that you should check (although again my description clearly states when I offer combined shipping and when I don't), but I certainly wouldn't think to ask if I were buying a boxed set if the shipping charge was for the set or a pro-rated amount for each individual DVD.

Well, we will cope. He will have housing with a phone so we will talk frequently. I'm thinking it may even be time to break down and get a pre-paid cell phone since he'll be driving to Wisconsin (the theatre is about 90 minutes from Chicago) and if something happens he will not have to look for a phone.
Ben, go to www.net10.com
This company is great. The cost for the minutes is a straght ten cents a minute.......... no daily charges, no roaming charges, no long distance charges. You buy the minutes in 300 minute blocks for $30.00 plus tax. I have been using their phones for the past four years. I love them.

Back from the worst-attended Ray Courts show I can ever remember. Empty aisles for the most part, and when Patty Duke doesn't have more than a couple of people in line, you know something's wrong. I did meet Patty (her handler is a friend of mine) and she was very sweet. Mr. Rothman tagged along and had worked with a few people, so we had fun conversations with any number of them, including Dwayne Hickman, who's a great guy and who looks twenty years younger than he really is, Steve Franken, Warren Berlinger, Cisse Colpitz, Dick Van Patten, Dorian Harewood, etc. Also seen, Kevin McCarthy with no one at his table the entire time I was there, the ageless William Schallert, Lindsay Wagner, Dom de Luise (very sour-looking individual), my friend Sara Ballantine and her daddy Carl, Edith Fellows, Gogi Grant, Linda Blair, Bo Hopkins, Jeff Conaway, Mini-me, and many others.

You're welcome! I'm watching the final episodes of the 1983 BBC miniseries MANSFIELD PARK, which may be an improvement on the novel since it really is Miss Austen's dreariest novel. I'm slogging through it again but it is a hard go. Miss Fanny Price is an unfortunate name for a heroine, and I thought I'd bust a gut when Henry Crawford planning to ask Fanny to marry him told his sister, "My Fanny will feel wonderful when the announcement is made."

Okay, Mac people - someone sent me a movie to download - eight parts as rar files (whatever that means). I got them all downloaded and tried to drag them to iMovie. Won't take them, says they have to be unzipped (how unseemly). So, I right click and it says "open with stuffit expander" only when I click that nothing happens. I dragged stuffit expander into the dock and tried to open it, but it just bounces - does that program not actually open?
Anyone have any ideas how I can get this into a movie I can actually view?
-
Not a Mac user, but a rar user:
What you have to do is select all of the .rar files, right click them and extract them into a folder (WinRar lets you select a folder to extract them into).

BK, did you get to talk to Edith Fellows this time?

DR MBARNUM, thank you so much for the heads up earlier! Mr. K. should be in my mailbox any day now. ;D

Mac doesn't do win - that's a Windows thing. I googled, found a solution that I think is working, at least something is being uploaded into iMovie. I couldn't tell if it took all eight parts (I think it must have), but it certainly is taking a humungous amount of time to load, even though it originally said sixty minutes to load - it's been about eighty so far.

I didn't talk to Edith Fellows.

So... I noticed a message on my phone around 5:45pm. It was Cohen's Optical informing me that all of my eyeglasses were in! All three pairs! -And I only picked them out yesterday! *I'm guessing they may have put a "speedy" on it due to the amount of money I spent. ;) So, I finished whatever bit of cleaning I was doing, showered, and headed down to the store. I got there about fifteen minutes before they closed, but it turned out that none of the frames needed any adjustments (at least not now). So...
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/JoseSPiano/NewSpecs1.jpg)(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/JoseSPiano/NewSpecs2.jpg)(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/JoseSPiano/NewSpecs3.jpg)

LOL! Me and my shrinking head!
-
After picking up my new eyeglasses, I headed up to Carnegie Hall for tonight's recital by Bryn Terfel and Malcolm Martineau...
I really could go on and on about just how wonderful the whole evening was. It truly was one of the most musical, dramatic, humorous and generous vocal recitals I have ever attended. He even invited the audience to hum along with him during "All Through The Night", and made "us" stand up to sing the refrain of "Molly Malone" since we were kind of "bad" during the first refrain.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e49/JoseSPiano/BrynMalcom.jpg)
*I wish I had gotten a better picture during their bows, but I just kept clapping and clapping and forgetting to take a pic.
-
One very cool thing about tonight's recital: Malcolm Martineau, Mr. Terfel's pianist, was given a solo bow. A very well-deserved solo bow. His playing throughout was more than "supportive", it was practically telepathic at times.
One very "weird" thing about tonight's recital: Most of the sheet music that Mr. Martineau was using was single-sided, loose copies. The page-turner, consequently, basically stood up and turned pages twice as much as he would have normally (if the music was in a book, or copied back-to-back). -Well, he actually slid the pages of music from right to left each time. The page-turner also stayed on the stage between sets, which actually made me feel awkard. -I love page-turning, but I was also "taught" to leave the stage when the Artists leave the stage.

Nice new glasses, Jose!
