Sam is getting all cozy in her bed, which is a good thing because the alarm is going off at 4:15 AM

DR Matt H., I don't follow most of the television programs, but I don't think anyone is asking you or wanting you not to post about them!

Absolutely not, especially riight now when I'm using your input on the new shows to help decide which ones to watch, to skip, or stop quickly if we don't like it.

I'm only asking for a little space to separate the details, just in case I don't want to read about a particular show.

Welcome, Sam! Glad you've joined us!

We just had a lovely, lovely dinner with bk, Miss K, Cason and BJ, and yes, Jose, we did go to 44x10. The staff was very nice and accomodating. I believe one of them recognized Cason from THE BRAIN so that seemed to give us some street cred.

I haven't had lobster in several years, but it's one of my favorite foodstuffs, so I had some kind of dish with lobster, sald greeds, grilled asparagus and oranges. Yum! Greg and bk had their stellar friend chicken, (almost as good as Skip's!). Miss K had a salad but that's probably to counteract the influence of The Enabler, and she and Cason shared an enormous bowl of mac and cheese. Greg split his chicken with BJ (there was a lot of it!) and he also had some salad and mac but I did not share my lobster with him!

It was lovely to meet the Murphys in person after corresponding with them, and nice to meet BJ. After looking at the boys on tape so much I felt like I already had met them, but this is a common problem with editors. And of course, bk was as funny and charming as always!

Greg is thinking about The Little Pie Shop or some sort of treat...we're back at the hotel but we should have showed up at Mary Poppins and waited for The Enabler to emerge!

Just as I arrived home I checked my cell messages - had an emergency message to call my general manager. I did. At seven-thirty this evening she received a call saying there were serious sound issues again, and it was now each show's repsonsibility to load their show disc, not the NYMF audio guy. This is all because these lousy mothers got a cheap board that has NO memory and no way to save the show - so the seven shows in the Acorn popped for an external drive to save shows to - only it's causing their loser board to crash and lose everything after each show. This is horse manure and the fact that NOTHING is EVER NYMF's fault is so damn stupid and annoying and now it's on US to find someone (and no doubt PAY them) to load our final two shows. Only there IS no one. My GM is furious and has been screaming at this incompetent who called her and she finally just sicc'd me on the main exec producer of NYMF - she's always stopped me from calling him, but this time she let me loose, and I am here to tell you that when he listens to the two messages I left he will not be happy. But, why should he be happy when I'm not happy? I basically threatened to get up and announce to the audience what we've been dealing with and why there will be no reinforced sound during the performance. I also threatened to go all over the Internet and make it all public. I'm saving the threat of a tell-all book for when he actually calls back - IF he actually calls back. I was very strong, and I told him in no uncertain terms that I do NOT want to see the incompetent idiot who called this evening anywhere near the theater, because I will NOT be responsible for my actions if he is. Unbelievable.

The good thing is I know they know how volatile I am. My GM and I have a backup plan, which is to use two overhead mics and to get a mix on the band and keep it low enough so that the cast can be heard. After our problems last Friday and after other shows' probs, they hung two overheads. These people our finally going to take responsibility for something or I will bring them down in flames, baby, and I'm not kidding.

Speaking as someone who reads the last chapter of a mystery novel first, I don't have a problem with spoilers, but that's just me!

;DI did that whenever I read a Nancy Drew book. Now look at me.

DR Edisaurus - glad to see that you and DH Greg arrived in NYC safely with your Secret Service escort. Or perhaps because of your Secret Service escort. You can tell them to stand down, now.

DR Jeanne - glad to see that you arrived safely home without the benefit of a Secret Service escort. It was a short but sweet visit.
