Could you just walk over to the Palace Theatre box office? or is the box office not open yet? In any case...

*The biggest convenience, however, was not having to deal with all the phone reps who would always say "These are really good seats." Not.

Ticketmaster sold us three seats to JEKYLL & HYDE.

One existed, the next was a post not a seat, and the third DID NOT EXIST.

The usher was flabbergasted.

Now I'm trying to remember what I saw during that trip...

The Who's Tommy, Blood Brothers (w/the Cassidy brothers)... Kiss of the Spider Woman, Angels in America...

-I think that was all in that one trip...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #122 on:** February 27, 2007, 11:33:22 AM »

WOW!

That trip was back in 1993!

DR Jose, while your mind is on DC-NYC travel, I have a question: Can you explain to me how the Delta Shuttle works? Is it first come, first served? And can you check luggage?

This is all because Richard and I want to fly from Cincinnati (CVG) to DCA on June 23, make our way to NYC on June 28, then fly back to CVG from LGA. I'm trying to decide whether we should take the train from DC to NYC or fly.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Jose - I'm not sure that the box office will accept someone just telling them the discount code verbally, whereas if you order online, the system doesn't "care" that you didn't get an official discount offer. I did think it was interesting and unusual that the code would be VISA and yet you can use any credit card, though.

FJL · « **Reply #125 on:** February 27, 2007, 11:59:02 AM »

Jose, while Skip and I got the discount seats for ourselves, we may yet try to impose on you for your connections, though, especially as the word of mouth builds on this one. It sounds like it has the potential to be a juggernaut (is that the right word?) of Jersey Boys proportions.

So please stay friendly with your house seat connections on this show

DR elmore - One of my roommates is home sick today, so I think it would be best to head somewhere for dinner tonight. I'll cook another night.

Artie's? Hannafin's? Cafe Edgar? GETE? Ollie's?

DR Jose, have I been to Cafe Edgar?

But where will claire go? I am not sure how this will work. She was a kid going to school. Does that mean we will not see her mom anymore? Or zach (i love zach).

The actor playing Zach got cast in a new show...or at least a pilot, if I remember correctly.

Yes! Cafe Edgar is a retaurant I only think of as a dessert place. Duh!

TOD

Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield. I was so awed by this that I invited a bunch of guys/gals to my dorm room to listen to it. It still remains an amazing instrumental work.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #137 on:** February 27, 2007, 12:36:53 PM »

AND....

I believe I'm come up with a plan. Well, another plan. In regards to the boxes of stuff currently taking up way too much floor space in my room.

I just did a quick look-see through about eight boxes. There were a few boxes of music xeroxes, but, alas, there were also still a bunch of boxes I ended up labeling as "STUFF". However, while doing that quick visual inventory, I came across a bunch of old magazines, programs, newspapers, textbooks(?), etc., that I know can go directly to the recycling or trash bins. So...

My plan for tomorrow - yes, tomorrow - is to go ahead and ditch the obvious stuff, and at least whittle down the contents of said boxes of "STUFF". And then at a later time, I can be a bit more anal about inventorying and organizing the remaining contents of each box of "STUFF". -And I'm sure I'll still be going with original plan of going through at least two boxes-o-stuff each day. I'm just sort of condensing that process... and sort of not.

But, hey, it's a plan. Well, another plan.

Earlier, I shipped some packages that needed shipping. I'm just about out of my little CD mailer envelopes so I went to Staples. They're out of stock again (oh, they have their other kind, the ones with only eight envelopes per package that cost the same as the kind I buy, which have twelve envelopes per package). This happens way too frequently, so I went to the manager and complained. He told me it's one guy who refuses to buy online or do orders specifically for himself. No, he'd rather come in once or twice a week and buy their entire stock, which is what this buttwipe does. Sixteen, twenty packages at a time, leaving nothing for anyone else. The manager assured me he'd have more tomorrow and he'll be holding some for me and, once again, speaking to his selfish customer.

Well, if you happen to make a minimum dollar amount with your order, you could have them delivered right to your home. My roommate, Jim, gets Staples' staples delivered every two weeks. And he really doesn't order that much stuff.

The best of audition vibes to Cason...not that he would need them...and what is Mr. Murphy auditioning for?

Back from the ol' audition. Thank you all for the vibes -- I am thinking that they might have worked...

San Diego Musical Theatre (part of the San Diego Lyric Opera) is putting on The Full Monty in May, so I figured I might as well audition for it, and audition I did.

They asked for a prepared song -- so I went in and did "If You Were Gay" from Avenue Q (getting laughs out of the director), after which, they gave me the sides for the character "Ethan" -- if you are familiar with the show, he is the one who tries the Donald O'Connor run up the wall from Singin' in the Rain. So I took a minute with the sides while another guy sang and then I went back in to read and gave my best "bad" run up the wall (which I don't think they were expecting, but which they all laughed at) and then took the director's notes and did the scene two more times.

So, if nothing else, I feel like I gave a helluva audition, so I can't blame myself if they don't pick me.

As far as hearing back, I am not sure. Callbacks would be towards the end of March (and then the rehearsals start for Non-Equity at the top of April), so I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on what I hear...

Is Jim a "him" roommate or the "her" roommate? If the former, does he "deal", too?

DR Jose, while your mind is on DC-NYC travel, I have a question: Can you explain to me how the Delta Shuttle works? Is it first come, first served? And can you check luggage?

This is all because Richard and I want to fly from Cincinnati (CVG) to DCA on June 23, make our way to NYC on June 28, then fly back to CVG from LGA. I'm trying to decide whether we should take the train from DC to NYC or fly.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Most of the air shuttles between DC and NYC (Delta, USAir, etc.) are not first-come, first-served. You can buy tickets in advance, and the seats are reserved, not "scrambled".

If you go to Delta's website (www.delta.com), and punch in DCA to LGA (or is it JFK) you should get plenty of options for flights. The ones that leave on the hour are usually the shuttle flights. And, yes, you can check a bag, but I think it's restricted to just one per passenger.

*Unless you can get some sort of deal by booking all your flight segments on Delta or some other airline, I'd also check out the JetBlue flights from Dulles (IAD) to JFK. They're still offering some crazy-low fares depending on the day of the week and time. -I may just fly down to Richmond for $29 this weekend. -And if your hotel has a deal with Washington Flyer, the trip out to Dulles may only cost you $10 from DC.

Jim is a "him". Faith is a "her", as is Megan. Although, Megan is currently working in Wichita, so her current 'stand-in' is "Jamie-Lynn".

Alas, I don't believe any of them deals.

*And Faith did make it back from Boston safe and sound the other night. Alas, her camera was stolen out her bag by one of the baggage handlers at the airport. And, of course, the airline does not have to reimburse her in any way, shape or form. "It happens." $:-\$

No clothes off today -- and yes, Ethan is the one with the big "talent" -- his only it seems, since he is written to not be able to sing and dance.
