Well, the theater group that I've worked with lately (Theater Artists Olympia (http://www.olytheater.com/)...TAO) doesn't have a specific theater at which they perform.  The recent Brain From Planet X production was done at The Washington Center for the Performing Arts (http://www.washingtoncenter.org/).  TAO can perform at multiple venues in Olympia during a season.

Good morning, all! The alarm went off at 6:30 and i decided to go back to bed, Two hours later I bathed, dressed and caught up on last night's posts. i'm very happy to know that new DR LarryR is not another pseudonym for the dread DotM, and I look forward to learning more about him. As to the pathetic DotM, go away.

Today, I need to work some more on my BABES Vol 2 Report and proofread the second number for the Indianapolis Symphony. Around 4:45 I need to head to midtown to meet my friend Darrel for dinner on 46th Street.

BK, I'm sorry to hear of your friend's battle with cancer. I wouldn't be surprised if cancer were a term like the common cold: a generic term for any number of violent invasions attempting to kill us off. That leads me to my disgust for these tv commercials for Cancer Treatment Centers of America which daily regale me with stories of how the patients' doctors treated them badly and called them names, driving the patient to Cancer Treatment Centers of America for hope and cure.  I don't mean to knock anything offering hope and possible cure, but I detest these commercials.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Healing Vibes to BK's Friend Debby, to the friend of DR John G, to DR Jane's Sherlock, and others! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the 16th year for the annual Woodward Dream Cruise. The classic cruisers have been in town (Metropolitan Detroit area) since Monday. The weather has been pretty good all week, however, today, the official day of the cruise, has rain predicted. Still there will be thousands of people out on Woodward Avenue. I will not be getting anywhere near Woodward today.

Howdy, kidz. Chuck and I finished tiling the shower yesterday. Looks pretty fine. I started that job 2 years ago... got stuck at 'Step 1: affix a batten to the backer board.' Oy, power tools... I'm a Jew in the Woods. (that'll be the title of the next tome) Now we have a pile o' tiles left over, so we're going to tile the whole damn floor of said bathroom.

Why is it that the people who will fall in love with this house and buy it for the price I want, will have all these nice upgrades - when I lived without them for so long??? Ah, well... I get a month of the pleasure, at least.

Another cold and gloomy day up here in the Northwest - summer came and went over one weekend in July. The trees are turning color, the raccoons are stuffing their little faces in preparation for a long winter's nap. And I feel the migratory urges and the heartbreak of leaving again, maybe for the last time. Sigh...

I got some wonderful feedback from last week's 4-actor-plus-stage-directions-reader reading of my 4-actor version of JEWISH THIGHS ON BROADWAY at Rogue Machine Theatre. Now my fingers are crossed they'll decide to mount the first ever LA production. Strange comment I got from both my boss, Herr Artistic Director, and a gal on the literary committee: "You're a hell of a writer, and it's very clever... I laughed my head off -- but I've never really been a fan of solo shows."

Hmmmmm.... were we NOT 5 people on that stage???? WTF?

TOD:

I'm sure that many of you would pick "cure the world of all disease" (e.g. AIDS, cancer, etc.) as your miracle, so since that one is well covered:

I would have all of the world's terrorists and/or terrorist wannabes join Adolph Hitler wherever he might be.

On the other hand, if this was to be a personal miracle,  rather than one that would benefit all of Mankind, I would see to it that I won an Academy Award.

That would, indeed, be a miracle.

Back from some fun travels, including a stop at Mystery and Imagination Bookstore.  They told me a funny and wonderful story.  Several weeks ago I mentioned that I'd met a man and his wife who then proceeded to tell me that their daughter LOVED the Hofstetter mysteries - she and her friend have read them over and over again.  They hadn't gotten her the third one yet because she wanted to go to a signing and meet me and have her sign it directly to her.  They'd missed the one I'd done when it first came out.  So, apparently they were at the Ray Bradbury 90th birthday party that Mystery and Imagination threw last Sunday.  And the daughter was there, and they bought Murder at the Hollywood Historical Society for her and she was clutching it to her and asking the owners if I was going to show up - it was really a sweet story.  So, I had Christine e-mail the guy and tell him that I'd meet them anywhere and sign the book for the daughter - he wrote back and said we'd do it as soon as this Ray Bradbury Week celebration is done - in a week.  Isn't that fun?  And yes, there will be another Hofstetter book, either next or after the next.

Not.

And it's so humid the heat index is 97 so my clothes are sopping---had to come in for some water. Can't wait to get done and take a shower!

I feel compelled to counter some of BK's rant regarding cancer treatment. Yes, billions of dollars have been poured into cancer research, and YES, we have definitely made significant strides into treatment, resulting in longer life expectancies. However, there are many types of cancer, and if you're talking conventional/Western medicine, then the treatment protocol must be tailored to the specific cancer. So, a "cure for cancer" is a bit of a misnomer; a "cure for all cancers" would be a more accurate way to put it.

Chemo is NOT the only treatment option. There are MANY others. But since (1) most patients in the US are relying on insurance coverage, and (2) many US doctors are not cognizant of the other options, the patient is generally not informed of all the options. If you're relying on insurance your choices are limited. That is a sad fact of the US health care system.

Many of the most innovative treatment programs today are in Germany. I do not know how German research is funded, nor  how "liberal" their health insurance plans are, nor how many Germans are trying newer approaches. Generally in the US these alternative approaches are only tried as a last resort--possibly because they are not covered by insurance, thus requiring out-of-pocket funds.

A "miracle" to my mind would be:
(1) all patients are given a full range of options for their care,
(2) we develop more early-warning diagnostics.

The first of the above is partly education, partly (largely) political. The second of the above is largely attitude. In other words, both are doable, given sufficient motivation.

Man I'm sleepy....I spent most of the morning doing the more glamourous side of my job, shopping for clothes for my client to wear during trial.  He has no one here to do it for him so....   Anyway, I went to the Junior League Discovery Shop and had some luck. I went to the jail with about 3or 4 different sizes in pants and one fit...so back to Good Will and found a couple more pants that will work. I'm not totally pleased with the shirt selection and I'm hoping the shoes fit.  I don't have a tie for him.  Not sure I want him to have one.  I know he'd never wear one in real life and the truth is he isn't very sophisticated or bright and I don't want him to appear like he is

I'm really concerned about the shoes.  I may just run to WalMart and look for some that are fairly flexible and a little bigger than the ones I got.  I could always return them if the Good Will shoes work out

The other day I was talking to a cardiologist. He first gave me the plusses and minuses of drugs for heart disease, then told me what he dislikes about alternative medicine. The terminology he used indicated that he did not understand the basics of alternative medicine. He then turned to my blood tests and said how impressed he was with the drop in my cholesterol. That drop was achieved using an "alternative" approach, ie fish oils. Yet, despite my impressive results, he didn't seem particularly motivated to learn more about it. I find that typical, unfortunately.

Of course, money is needed for research, but IMO attitude is the biggest obstacle.

John G., maybe I misread one of your posts yesterday; but I thought you wrote that Reno opens ANYTHING GOES with "I Get A Kick Out of You."  But she doesn't in any prodcution I have ever seen. I have always seen the show open with "You're The Top."

In the original 1934 show and the Lincoln Center revival, the first number after the overture is "I Get A Kick Out of You."



Lincoln Center?  Would that be the Miss Piggy Patti version?

I don't give names when I turn them in. I realize people want to name their own kittens.

Sometimes I do give the mom cat's name -- but only if it's something that won't show up on a google search. "Vixmom" would, so I didn't give it. "Jane," "Ginny," and "Jeanne" were safe.

It's a good thing you are doing, Cillaliz.

Thanks DR Laura...and a great thing happened at Walmart.  I was walking around fuming to myself about the Marshals not getting my client to town at the beginning of last week as promised and how difficult they were making my job and the problems I may have with late exhibits and the judge not understanding..... and I ran into two different people who changed my whole attitude.

The first was our local human rights commission director who is facing a huge public attempt to have her fired. It's a long drawn out story, but the things she's dealing with make my problems seem really minimal.  We had a nice conversation. It was the first chance I've had to express my support for her and I was happy I ran into her.

Then I ran into the judge for my trial on Monday!   He said "Are we going to have fun in trial this week?"  I told him that I thought so and then very calmly told him of the difficulties I've had since my client didn't get her until Friday.  He was surprised and wondered why the Marshals didn't him here sooner.  I said I was still getting clothes etc and that I may have a couple late exhibits because of it.  We didn't discuss the merits of the case, that would be improper, just the fact that my client was too far away for me to run and see him until Friday (I wasn't entitled to have copies of the government exhibits until last Monday).  This is such a relief.  Now he knows the situation so if I have something last minute on Monday morning, he isn't going to freak out about it

WHEW!!  I am so relieved.

The original production opened with Merman alone on stage singing "I Get a Kick Out of You." Or so I've read, since I'm really not that old (though I sometimes feel it). I checked the McGlinn recording and sure enough it was there right after the overture. I found this in Miles Krueger's notes: "Cole Porter once confided in me that he wanted no opening chorus, a standard convention of the time, and insisted upon placing the show's biggest hit, "I Get a Kick Out of You" within the first five minutes of the first scene. It seems that his society friends thought it was amusing to drift into the theatre fifteen or twenty minutes after the curtain had gone up, so that all their friends could observe what they were wearing. Because he regarded such behavior as rude to both audience and actors alike, he warned his friends for weeks before the opening that they had better arrive on time or they would miss the big song: with a wry smirk, he added that they never forgave him."

SAINT JOAN arrived at my house today....and I listened to it immediately.  I haven't seen the movie in awhile, but I certainly agree with MR BK's liner notes.  It is a lovely score - and the CD sounds great....now I want to find my old VHS and watch the movie again. 

Jean Seberg and all of those MEN - many of whom - Richard Todd I am talking to you - never looked better!

I love Jean Seberg in EVERYTHING.....especially BONJOUR TRISTESSE.....but she is SO beautiful.......

It is interesting.  The bodies were in doctor's bags wrapped in newspaper.   There were also all sorts of treasures in the trunk.  Tickets to the Olympics, and a copy of the book, "Peter Pan", which is why they are wondering if the J. Barrie who owned the trunk is related to the author of Peter Pan

Edi, you can always have a Volume 2. ;) Quite a few years ago, I bought something (I forget what) on eBay and the seller included a home-made CD of songs by women Broadway singers that he called "Divas for Days."  I loved it so much that I continued it.  I went through my musicals and put together another four, count 'em FOUR compilation CDs for myself.  And I gave copies to a couple of my friends and they absolutely loved them.

Back from some fun travels, including a stop at Mystery and Imagination Bookstore.  They told me a funny and wonderful story.  Several weeks ago I mentioned that I'd met a man and his wife who then proceeded to tell me that their daughter LOVED the Hofstetter mysteries - she and her friend have read them over and over again.  They hadn't gotten her the third one yet because she wanted to go to a signing and meet me and have her sign it directly to her.  They'd missed the one I'd done when it first came out.  So, apparently they were at the Ray Bradbury 90th birthday party that Mystery and Imagination threw last Sunday.  And the daughter was there, and they bought Murder at the Hollywood Historical Society for her and she was clutching it to her and asking the owners if I was going to show up - it was really a sweet story.  So, I had Christine e-mail the guy and tell him that I'd meet them anywhere and sign the book for the daughter - he wrote back and said we'd do it as soon as this Ray Bradbury Week celebration is done - in a week.  Isn't that fun?  And yes, there will be another Hofstetter book, either next or after the next. 

That's a very nice story, BK.
