Well, you've read the notes, you know what the title of the notes means, and now it is time for you to post until the Cinnamonscope cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: BRIO!

[George]

BK, congrats on the 107%!!

[bk]

In the morning I'm going to the garage and see what I can unearth for a few more perks.  I have some great Playbills out there and a few more souvenir programs - pretty sure I have one signed by Katharine Hepburn.

[George]

BK, when can I (or anyone else who selected the 10-disc perk) get the CDs?  Do you want us to wait until after the campaign is officially over?

[George]

Today, there's going going to be an Out of the Darkness Walk for suicide prevention here in Olympia.  My sister and a couple of other people will be at a table representing PFLAG Olympia and she wants me to help, so I have be at her place by 8:30 a.m.  I hate getting up early on weekends. But I will...it's for a very good cause.  A couple of years ago, a PFLAG board member killed himself, so it's important for them to be there.

[George]

So, now I'm finally off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

[bk]

Yes, we'll begin to fill the perks right after we close.

Good morning, all!

I must make a post office trip today, and the question is, do I travel to my favorite post office and then go to the farmers market or go to my local post office and hit the supermarket.

[elmore3003]

At some point this weekend I may visit with our E&T DR edisaurus, and this afternoon, the pet medicine company will deliver Thatch's prescription of Atenolol.  Whatever post office trip I make will be sooner than later.

Good morning, all.

I lost a weekday somewhere. This can’t possibly be Saturday!

[ChasSmith]

I think it was DR George who asked, and I forgot to respond...

The reason was not enough qualified people coming out to audition. They couldn’t cast it with just the couple of good ones who showed up.

Three theaters had auditions at the same time, for December shows. I don’t know about the play, but the two musicals had sucky turnout. I think the other musical got enough to build on, but Frog & Toad didn’t, and our director was sticking to the original cast of only five.

[ChasSmith]

I’ve grown to love those Gerhardt recordings more than I did in the 70s. In addition to the fine conducting and playing, RCA’s sound is magnificent. And surprise, surprise, so are the original vinyl pressings. Those flexy things got a bad rap back then, but with today’s cleaning methods and when played on decent equipment, they are room-fillingly stunning — which I’m sure the better remasterings are, but being equipped to enjoy these, I’m a happy camper.

Annabelle and I made our patrol.  The friendly USPS truck driver arrived with packages and Annabelle didn't run off.  She stayed to play with him, and then, when he left, she let me know it was time to head back upstairs.  She was very happy; she chirped and purred all the way home.

Kitten on patrol...

Hold the Ham!

That's the title of the second volume of my memoirs.

[Jrand74]

Last night we had a two thirds of a house....the average age of which was probably about 75.....

Laughter....but not as much as Friday night.  I am hoping we have a larger and more VOCAL audience tonight....  For some reason our First Friday audience is always.....quiet....and very SOBER....

[Jrand74]

Oh and DR LAURA informed me that Neil Simon is indeed Neely Simon....a lovely female Monarch....

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Last night's ushering was a challenge. It lasted seven hours.

[John G.]

It was supposed to be a film premiere as part of an arts festival, except they screened it in L.A. the night before, so it wasn't a premiere. And it was also the night that the film, The Angel, premiered on Netflix, so it was something that people on a rainy night could stay home and watch.

And they did.

[John G.]

We had maybe 300 show up, and the organizers decided that since the event was free, they would treat the audience like dirt. They opened the doors 45 minutes later than they said because they were filming interviews inside the theater.

[John G.]

We were also told the movie was 90 minutes. It was two hours. Then they followed it with an interview with the director. I got to my car by midnight.

[John G.]

But I would recommend The Angel. It's about a man who was a double agent for Egypt and Israel, working for both Sadat and the Massad. It was based on a true story.

What I think I appreciated most was seeing a cast in which whites and blacks were largely kept to the sidelines while those from the Middle East (not actors in Light Egyptian makeup) played out their story. This wasn't the story of a white journalist doing a story on the man who did this. And the violence and suspense were not prettied up. 

[John G.]

Oh and DR LAURA informed me that Neil Simon is indeed Neely Simon....a lovely female Monarch....

Cisgendering for the butterfly? Who knows? As John Cleese asked in the birth scene of Meaning of Life: Isn't it a little early to be assigning gender roles?

[Laura]

Good morning.

A very good caused indeed.
