I see everyone, don't think I don't see everyone.

I see you, too!

Good Evening!

Back from the afternoon session... Another good batch of people. Again, some clunkers, but no real stinkers... well, maybe just one or two. And there were even a few "goosebumps" moments this afternoon too.

-Along with one "OOPS!" moment for myself. However, she kept singing, and that's all that mattered.

I can't wait until it warms up enough for our snakes to start visiting us.

DR Jeanne et al - Thanks for the heads up on the pending snow East Coast snow storm. I'm flying back Tuesday afternoon... Wonder if I should try to get an earlier flight, or head out late Monday night just to be safe.

DR elmore - Safe travels to you. Peace.

Lines we wish we'd have said (sometimes brain's don't work fast enough - I came up with this line about a half-hour ago as I was telling Cason about the seminar).

At our lunch table was Mr. Seidelman. They were bringing the sandwiches out and offered him a chicken salad sandwich. He said in a certain tone, "Do you have something else? I'm a VEGETARIAN." If only I'd been quick enough, I would have replied, "Oh, Arthur, you've eaten more meat than anyone in this room." I'm sure some here will get the humor.

I resemble that remark.

DR Matthew - Thanks for your review of Legally Blonde. I'm really looking forward to it - well, moreso now. I had talked with Michael Rupert a bit about it before they headed out to San Francisco, and he commented that the whole production and artistic team was being very 'smart' about how they were approaching the material. He seemed very optimistic. I also have the demos and those sound great too - "Ohmigod You Guys" seems like a perfect opening number even just listening to it.

Of course, I think what some "critics" will find to dislike about it will be the fact that it may seem "old-fashioned", that the show is not necessarily breaking any new ground. Why can't something just be "good" nowadays? and leave it at that.

...And after DR FJL's review of Follies... Makes me wish they would add another performance or two so I could see it when I get back. All in the timing.

DR Joes---Rendezbous Ribs and/or The Commissary---get thee to a taxicab and get some 'Q!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #131 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:28:19 PM »

As for the Topic of the Day...

I remember my cousins and my brothers making our own ouija board one time at a party, and we set it up and spooked ourselves out for a while. I don't recall anything truly spooky happening, but you have a bunch of nine and ten-year olds with wild imaginations thinking they're conjuring up spirits and ghosts, well... That can just be spooky enough.

I've never had my fortune told, and, frankly, I'm actually scared to have it done. I guess I don't mind keeping the unknown unknown. However, a friend of mine did do a basic astrological chart for me once, and he was pretty dead on about my general psychological makeup. -I'm VERY Virgo. He then told me that he reads palms, tea leaves and Tarot cards... And I passed on those options. -Mainly because I didn't want to have a friend of mine knowing more about me than I knew about myself.

OH! I wish I could. I don't even think I can make it to The Cupboard this year. With the current schedule, I get an hour break for lunch, and then about an hour and a half for dinner, so any BBQ excursion would have to be quick. -Which is not the way to enjoy BBQ. But we shall see what happens over the next two days. *However, people have been commenting that the BBQ they serve in the hotel restaurant is pretty good. Alas, like most hotel restaurants, it's overpriced.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #133 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:32:15 PM »

-What I may end up doing is just ordering some BBQ to be sent to me in NYC. Corky's for pulled pork, and Rendezvous for ribs. Yes, the overnight shipping does add a good chunk of change to the purchase price, but it's worth it.

Well, the dance auditions have started for the evening, and I think I may head down to the Ballroom to observe for a while.

Laters...

Jose - are you eligible to see the tapes that are preserved at Lincoln Center? They were videotaping FOLLIES last night for some archive, I assume that one.

I planted two passionvines today. Spring is here!

And here in Philly we are expecting a snowstorm on Tuesday! No passionvines here yet...

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #137 on:** February 10, 2007, 04:52:18 PM »

Edisaurus, I may take you up on the offer of passionvines!

I planted three small ones (one gallon container) in October. The butterflies found them, all right. The caterpillars ate every leaf. They are nothing but strings now, trying mightily to grow tiny leaves.

I replaced one because it was totally dead. I planted a larger one in the backyard to see if it will do well in Arizona shade.

While I have never had any kind of real card reading of any sort, I must give off vibes of an absolute mark. I can't count the number of times I've walked past a storefront fortune teller only to have these people rush to the door or pound on their window urgently calling me over. I always give a friendly "no thanks" wave and walk away, but it is spooky how many times this has happened to me.

When I was a youngen, my sister got a ouija board for Christmas and we pretty much took it as seriously as we did the Kreskin's ESP game. Some people look ready to faint when I tell them how I used to play with the heart-shaped ouija platter all the time as a space ship for my little Lost In Space figures, but then I used to play with mercury, too.

Mr. Donald Feltham dropped by to pick up a Brain CD - we'll be doing a radio show about it in two weeks, with some special guests.

I did a ouija several times with Mr. Walter Willison and Miss Lorna Luft at Miss Luft's mother's favorite hangout - Matteo's in Westwood.

Cilla and anyone else who's interested - Maybe I've had a brain fart and it's been posted here before, but just in case no one posted it, here's a Playbill article about the experience Cilla is going to have being in the "onstage seats" at Spring Awakening.

I have never had my fortune told, although one of the strange ladies my mother mentioned did offer to read my cards.

One time I got a fortune cookie without a fortune. What does that mean?

FJL · « **Reply #147 on:** February 10, 2007, 05:58:26 PM »

Isn't there a joke where the punchline is "Read the card! Read the card!"

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** February 10, 2007, 06:01:09 PM »

Oh, Arthur, you've eaten more meat than anyone in the room.

THAT'S a punch line.
