Post by: elmore3003 on October 24, 2010, 05:32:40 AM: Good morning, all! I slept well and I think I'm ready for whatever fresh hell comes down the pike today.

I have a bit of work this morning on the Miami University cartons. I'm currently downloading all the Mahler symphonies so I can send the CDs to Ohio. My goal is to eventually narrow down the uge number of CDs I own so that I can remove one of the racks and have more apartment space.

I liked the painting very much, BK. It's quite evocative.

DR edisaurus, I'm with DR Ben: when's the Nov 5 showing we want to attend? I'm only good that weekend for the 5th and 6th On the 7th I'm back in the studio.

DR Jose, I was wondering why you were in Virginia. Your day yesterday sounds fantastic.

What great photos from everyone.....

Also enjoyed looking at the paintings on the Olivia's site! I too am envious of those who can do such....ART!

I have also eaten at said CARNEGIE DELI and had about the same experience as DR BEN.....but there seemed to be a lot of ACTORS sitting at tables, so I am sure I had lunch with someone famous, I just don't know who it was.

DR JOSE loved your description of the celebration at the theater! I may borrow that quote about the torch to use at our 50th anniversary celebration next summer.

And of course the roll call is a great way to respect and honor those not there to share.
Title: Re: PESTO AND ART

DR Jose, I was wondering why you were in Virginia. Your day yesterday sounds fantastic.

DR elmore - It was a perfect storm, in a sense. My brother Jay's visit from San Diego, my nephew's birthday, Arena Stage's Homecoming and my brother Mike's (upcoming) birthday. I had originally planned to come down last weekend for a quick 36 hours, but once I realized that Jay was going to be in town for two weeks instead of one, it just made more sense to come down for an extended weekend. -As an added bonus, I've been able to catch up with some other friends and relatives too.

Post by: Jrand73 on October 24, 2010, 07:17:37 AM: I got some good news from my cousin last night.....I posted a newspaper article about his business earlier this year......they will be handling all online media for the SuperBowl in 2012 and are moving to NEW offices.....he says his office is what the designer calls his MAD MEN office....so I am interested to see it when they move in.....DOWNTOWN Indy!

Thank You, DR JRand. Zelda Fichlander also shared a wonderful quote about the need and importance of Art, playwrights, in particular, from one of Chekhov's lectures:

"The change a person, you must first show them who they are."
Title: Re: PESTO AND ART
Post by: Jrand73 on October 24, 2010, 07:24:37 AM: How true, DR JOSE.....how true......
Title: Re: PESTO AND ART
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 24, 2010, 07:29:36 AM: Oh... There was one other very moving moment from yesterday's Homecoming that will forever stick in my mind. Guy Bergquist, Operations Manager, the man who coordinated all of the various stages of construction of the new building, after introducing all three of the Artistic Directors, wanted to introduce one more person, Tom Fichlander. Tom was Zelda's beloved husband, and it was with Tom's initial monetary support that Arena got started. He shifted his energies from life in the corporate world to support not only the work of his wife, but of the Arts, in general, in the DC area. Guy pointed to the Arena Stage baseball cap that he was wearing, and said, "This was Tom's". -Cue the tears.

*And then when Zelda shared her own, very personal remembrances of Tom, she mentioned that Tom would always give her notes after the first full dress rehearsal of a show. And that he would always give her the same first note. Always: "Needs cutting." :)

I completely forgot about the Arena Stage celebration yesterday! Thanks for the report, DR Jose!

You're welcome, DR KevinH. -Of course, I bet if the WSMA had been there - and Mr. Barrett has indeed performed at Arena Stage before - you would not have forgotten. ;)

It was great to see some fellow Arena Stage alumni who had traveled from far and wide just for yesterday's homecoming. Some had even taken a weekend off from their Broadway shows to be a part of the celebration.
Title: Re: PESTO AND ART
Post by: JoseSPiano on October 24, 2010, 07:43:00 AM: And just to give you and idea of what "they" did to Arena, here is a picture of the roof(!) of the Fichlander Stage (the theatre in-the-round) from one of the new inside terraces):

(http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs911.snc4/72455_10150092069714505_570954504_6967575_1895042_n.jpg)

They literally built another roof over the existing buildings! -Plus created a third theatre space, new offices, new rehearsal studios, an underground parking lot, two classrooms, a cafe, elevators, etc., etc., etc.

We are both up because in about 45 minutes we will go grocery shopping. First to Western Beef on 16th and 9th and then Trader Joe's on 21st and 6th.

I really do love that location of Trader Joe's. It's just so roomy in comparison to the 14th Street location. -I have yet to step foot into the new UWS location, but I guess that since I haven't heard any grumblings about it, it must provide a nicer shopping experience too.

*That's also where Souvlaki Truck (http://www.souvlakigr.com/) and Wafels & Dinges (http://wafelsanddinges.com/) set up shop too. ;)
Title: Re: PESTO AND ART
Post by: Ben on October 24, 2010, 07:56:49 AM: Yes, going to Trader Joe's is now a very pleasant experience. You don't need shin guards and helmets. We did a big shopping and had a great checkout clerk and now we're home with lots of good food.

Post by: Ben on October 24, 2010, 08:01:50 AM: Kevin (and anyone else interested), here is the BBC Radio Wales site

Radio Wales (http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/radiowales/)

and here is the Listen Again site specifically for Beverley's program

Beverley Humphreys (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00vfdzl/Showtime_23_10_2010/)

These programs expire after a week so you might want the BBC iPlayer site as well. They list television at the iPlayer but if you're not in the UK you can't watch the television programs. You can only listen to the radio but there is lots to choose from so give it a whirl.

I have a bunch that I need to put onto CD but it's a lot of work and I just haven't had the time to finish the project. There are currently 3 CDs of my reviews and another CD with my interview from Christmas 2005.

If I'm remembering correctly, Brent popped into Closer Than Ever during its many-times-extended run at the Kreeger - and the eventually the Old Vat Room. I do remember that Sally Mayes opened the run there opposite Meg Bussert. I'll have to double-check my Playbills... Or call the office tomorrow. ;)

After the service, Richard went to call on a parishioner who just had hip surgery and I went to Bob Evans with my sister and brother-in-law. Richard joined us there and, after we all had brunch, they headed north and we headed south. Somewhere out there they'll probably pass Rob on the road, because he's driving back from visiting Mary Linda.

Post by: Cillaliz on October 24, 2010, 02:48:36 PM: Today Ricky discovered using me as a place to sleep. Every time I've gone in there and kicked back on the bed he runs to me and curls up on my stomach or chest. It's been great to have this time to bond with him.

My friend from BBC Tees, the host of Songs from the Shows knows two cast members and she told me to stop by the stage door after the show and send her greetings. I shall write a nice note introducing myself and give it to the box office people to deliver to them before the show so they will know that I'm stopping by.

....here for you enjoyment are fall colors which are all within a 5 or 6 block radius of my apartment building.

Some of the trees in this shot are in the parking lot across the street from my building. On Saturday's it is used for the Saturday Market, which was going on when I took these photos.

You wouldn't think there would be so many beautiful trees downtown, would you.

It is quite a pretty church, I have always thought. Wherein most of the other vintage churches in my area are built with red brick, this one is built with off white colored bricks/stones. I wonder why that is?

The apartments themselves are beautiful inside as is the lobby. They are also very reasonably priced and there is a waiting list of the 1 and 2 bedrooms. The studios rent very quickly.

I have never heard of this guy before, but I imagine that Jennifer knows him, His name is Rick Mercer and I guess he is a big star in Canada (mostly for getting Americans to say dumb things on television).

Anyway this video of him helping yo tag black bears in Algonquin Park is very funny and very sweet. Who knew that bears cubs could be so cute?

Little Ricky is pretty big, I think he's 9 pounds, can't remember since I just had Callie in there too. He's 10 months old. So he's outgrown the cute little kitten phase. He's at the awkward stage where he's still a baby but doesn't look like it.

Post by: bk on October 24, 2010, 09:01:16 PM: Finished with my viewing - very interesting seeing a film I hadn't seen for over forty-five years - there is a very violent act in the film and for all these years I've remembered it happening to a different character - isn't that weird? The one and only time I saw it was at a sneak preview and I wouldn't go back because the violence was too graphic for me - maybe that's why I misremembered it. Seeing it now, of course, it's mild, but back then it was pretty gruesome for a mainstream film.

They have a lot of money and a lot of right wing support. Hopefully saner minds will prevail

I really don't want to pay for it, but if something happens, I don't want to lose my house and have to move home with mom and dad.
