I have not caught up!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #423 on:** April 04, 2007, 08:48:58 PM »

Hmm... So, ideally, before I head up to Westport tomorrow morning, I should:

-fold my laundry
-sort my mail
-organize my desk
-prepare three invoices
-pack my luggage

Hmm... Well, I tend be most productive after midnight anyway, so...

I met vixmom and vixter after they saw Drowsy Chaperone. We tried first to get a cab on the cab line at the Marquis, but that proved fruitless and slow, so we went to Broadway, and vixmom's keen eye spotted us a cab to the Quad, where we saw Amy's excellent film - solid and fascinating throughout, and the last 25-30 minutes are especially stunning, wrapping up the events, ideas and themes with astonishing dexterity.

We then ate at Cosi where vixter had a luscious-looking pizza and vixmom and I both had the dietetic

Alpine chicken. I then had to bolt since I had to be back to finish off some stuff at the office. I see vixmom made it home safely as well.

The Vixter and I drove into the city, parked the car and wandered over the BackStage Deli for some breakfast... yummy pancakes with bananas and almonds for me and a toasted salt bagel for the Vixter.

After quick phone chats with Jose and FJL to firm up plans, the Vixter and I made quick visits to the Nintendo store (aaugh) and the American Girl Place and then over to Equity for a quick visit with Jose and a handoff of some wonderful popsicle forms and a cake pan (from Jose to me)

and then.....

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE!!!

In case vixmom doesn't mention it, the Alpine chicken at Cosi had three count 'em three cheeses.

This psych paper will never get done when there are waterballoon fights to be had outside.

When I first glanced at this, I thought you wrote watermelon fights!

That, of course, sounds very painful...and quite a unique distraction!

Three cheeses are better than two...or one!

I was thinking of a leopard-spot decor.

A leak could lead to mold, which could provide some spots--FREE!!

Thanks to a tip from DR Jose we knew when the house seats were released to the public and were able to pick up seats for row D, dead center, center orchestra.... the Vixter was in absolute heaven

What a wonderful fun show... of course DR Ben's DP Anthony would be perfect for Man in Chair, I look forward to that casting when Jonathan Crombie's run is through!

vixmom · « **Reply #434 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:09:45 PM »

After the show Jonathan Crombie came out to announce they were collecting for Broadway Cares

We picked p a Playbill authographed by the entire original cast for our donation and then, just as were leaving (two of the last stragglers out of the theatre) we saw the Drowsy Chaperone herself, Miss Beth Level walking through the lobby with her collection bucket

The Vixter asked her if she would pose for a picture and she very gracefully consented

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #435 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:11:13 PM »

DR vixmom - Thanks for taking those popsicle molds and that pan off my hands. I now have a nice space on my shelf that I can put more boxes into.

*And since Spring is here - or at least supposed to be - I think that muffin pan could come in handy for some seasonal meals.

OMG DR Jose, can that article you wrote about GREASE be true? Wow!

I find it odd though that people would buy tix before the winners were announced and then complain. I mean they knew their favorites might not win, right?

Oh and re: Blake from AMERICAN IDOL. Since I am in love with him i will answer your question. Um, yah he does wear a lot of clothes. But so far it hasn't bothered me. Yah it might be nice to see something less. But i think the layered look is his look.

Also re: Melinda. Right now i think she may have the strongest voice. And right now i think she will win. But she isn't my favorite. I like her. I think she is nice and so humble. And i do like her. But she is so shy. And all her songs seem to be sung in the exact same style. I would just like to see her change things up a bit, be more current. Come up with something new.

Anyhow i know she is loved. And is way more popular than anyone else. So she will probably win. But i don't think those who don't like her best should be thought of as dumb.

Anyone who believes the PRODUCERS' report that Grease has wrapped nine mil in advances, is, well, naive.

I have written five and a half pages and my protagonist has just figured out the mystery. A key moment, and now we play out the rest of the story.

vixmom · « **Reply #440 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:17:18 PM »

Waitingnthe lobby at street level , as promised, was DR FJL... we taxied to the Quad and were soon enjoying DR Edisaurus' wonderful Sacco and Vanzetti

There was a very obvious hole in my education as I had never heard of this story before, I found in fascinating and horrifying

The Vixter was completely absorbed by the story... she said "I heard about it a little in Social Studies class but it sounded boring... THIS wasn't boring! They should show this movie in schools!'

She also thought that The History Channel should show it every August.

Bravo Edisaurus!!! I am proud to know ya!!

Well, it was in the New York Post, and it was reported by Michael Reidl. Of course it's true!

vixmom · « **Reply #442 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:21:40 PM »

We then, as FJL faithfully reported, wandered over to COSI for a wonderful meal... yes there were 3 types of cheeses, but I am sure that they were more than cancelled out by the nutritious bacon and alfredo sauce!

And there was salad!!

I didn't eat very much of it but it was there.......

vixmom · « **Reply #443 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:25:11 PM »

then FJL went back to work, and the Vixter & I took the subway to 50th & 8th... and back tot he car and drove on home....

vixmom · « **Reply #444 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:25:36 PM »

and now... to catch up!!

Ginny · « **Reply #445 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:26:11 PM »

DR Vixmom - What a lovely time you and The Vixter must have had in NYC today. Isn't The Drowsy Chaperone fun? I listened to it in the car today in honor of your seeing it. I beg to differ on your casting, though.

DR Ben himself should be Man in Chair and his ever-lovin' Anthony one of the pastry chefs. My casting of Ben is based on the fact that when DH Richard started my car once and heard that voice on the DC recording he said, "Is that Ben?"

Cillaliz · « **Reply #446 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:30:45 PM »

DR Laura - I talked to my friend in Phx tonight. It was great to catch up, but he doesn't know anything about the case. He said 14 is too young to direct file in AZ so it will have to start in Juvenile court and be waived up

Ginny · « **Reply #447 on:** April 04, 2007, 09:33:56 PM »

I'm up 'way past my bedtime, because I've been watching Novel Reflections on the American Dream on PBS. It was very well done, and now I'm off to bed.

'night!

I continued watching THE YEARLING when I went back downstairs, but two lengthy telephone calls prevented me from finishing it. I still have about 15 minutes to go with it. Already cried several times, and I'm sure I'll cry more before it's over. Always affects me this way.

Late night ask BK question

When you got the rights to re-release The Grass Harp. What kind of tapes did you do get from Ben Bagley? (Mixed, multi tracks etc) I am curious how he recorded his songs over the years and how it different from you before the days of Pro tools,
