Haines His Way

Vibes Bruce you have loads of people at the 4:30 show tomorrow!

AND SOUND!

Thank you Ginny.  It wasn't an exciting birthday.  He spent the morning in classes & then, except for a short break to walk Yogi, worked on a report at school until 9:00.  We had a short conversation & then let him go to make his dinner.

He sounds good though & is still excited about his classes & looking at his future career options.

Now look at me.

Are you reticent?  Oh yes, I think you are reticent!  

BK, the incompetence of these people astound me. How in the world have they managed to put on this festival year after year with all these problems?

I willd o my best to get online this coming weekend at my parents. My home computer took a dive...

Great photos Adrianna!

Great picture of Miss BlueMoon..

(evil laugh) DR Jeanne just left to go have breakfast with bk, Cason and BJ are fast asleep, so now I can crack into the Siren of Sin's goody bag and no one will ever know ... Boo-wah-hah-hah-hah! Cookies! Monkey Cake! The breakfast of champions!!

 

Cookies and Monkey CAke, yep that does sound like the breakfast of Champions!

From personal experience, I have to say it's probably better in a live show for the actors to stop and address the problem.  I can think of nothing that rips me right out of the proceedings than a cell phone...or someone suddenly coughing violently...or a baby crying...or a child whining.  The latter issues are generally short-lived and should be ignored if at all possible.  But with a cell phone, I think it's wholly a different thing.  In addressing this, the audience member has two worries....disturbing the actors and disturbing his fellow viewers, even though the cell phone has pretty much "killed" the on-stage moment.

In movies, I take it upon myself to loudly recriminate any oaf who left his or her cell phone on and is sitting there either ignoring it or fumbling with it.  Heaven forbid anyone actually sit there and talk after answering it. During one movie, a woman pulled out the ringing phone (loudest damn noise I'd ever heard emanate from a cell phone).  She fumbled and fumbled.  She was two rows in front of me.  I finally said, "For the love of God, Lady, turn the damn thing off."  
She replied, "It's new and I can't see where the answer button is."

"Then," I suggested, "you'd better take it outside, hadn't you?"

She left, and I got a nice round of applause.

I applaud you!

 I have asked people before to turn off their cell. NDSU requests people to turn off their cells. I know when I went to SPAMALOT this past summer, the ushers actually went to poeple and addressed them directly about their cells sharply.

Jeanne, lovely photo of you and bk. You look just as gracious and beautiful today!

Happy Birthday to George's dear sister, Diane!

Yes, I think we should have a re-enactment of the Prom Picture Pose by MR BK and DRJEANNE!

I am floored, enraged, and spitting mad at the treatment NYMF is giving the shows at THE ACORN.

Now this!!!  Plan B sounds like a good alternative, but WHY should you have to have a PLAN B?

The question about why they get away with stuff like this, I guess, is kind of why Bridal Shoppes continue to exist.....once they have the money - the brides are stuck....NO REFUNDS.....

My guess is that also NOT TOO MANY people return for a second round with them.

I am sending the BEST opening night vibes to DRS FJL and NOEL and SKIP for their shows!!!

I have only one thing to say about that photo:  Bronzing gel!

I have to agree with bk, from seeing the pics of Zubrick on the cd booklet. I like the black pants better.
