Well, you've read the notes, the notes were refurbished, and now it is time for you to post until the refurbished cows come home.

And the word of the day is: OBTEST!

Good morning to all
loking forward to more nudie news. It's amazing how far technology has progressed and has it really been 10 years since irs been on DVD?
Perhaps the Nudie Discussion Board can be used???

I might go back and watch COMPANY in the theater again

Friday morning greetings! The rest of our household is still sleeping, but I've been awake for about an hour. In addition to my other cousin (Dan) and his wife arriving from Japan, we're expecting my sister and her husband from Michigan and their daughter from Illinois. The cousins and my sister's family will all stay at the Comfort Inn between here and the retirement community (and near the outlet mall, which delights the cousins' wives!). That will make our guest room available for Mary Linda and her sister who are also arriving from Michigan this evening.
Thank you to DRs Vixmom and John G, whose condolences I found this morning.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I got up around 6:20... Then tried to go back to bed, but realized I wasn't sleepy, so... I'm up.
-
And now I'm watching the coverage of the "fallout" of Rep. Weiner's resignation. If I hear one more person say something along the lines of "It will be nice not to have that distraction getting in the way of our work", well... If they didn't make it such a distraction, well... Next!
-
Oh...
And in DC traffic news...
Not only are there downed power lines in Tysons Corner blocking traffic in both directions on Route 7, but there's also a "suspicious vehicle" parked by the Pentagon which has caused the closure of all the roads around the Pentagon. I won't be heading in until closer to 9:00 this morning, but, alas, I'm suspecting both traffic snarls will probably end up affecting my commute somehow. :-\

In other news...
bk - Any idea how the flesh tones of the dancing dildos look in the cleaned up print of "Nudie"? ;)
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Glad to read the good news about NUDIE.....looking forward to hearing how things go as things go along.
-
I am working all day today. Oh well.....long day.....9 hours.....but the money will be nice, anyway.
-
Getting to work vibes for DR JOSE.
-
I still haven't heard from the "actor" who is not sure he will take the role, since I cast the man who played Harold Hill as Arthur.
So we wait. And wait. He is a director himself and he knows how difficult casting can be and how much trouble "difficult" people can be.....you would think HE would not put someone else in this position. I would like to have him in the show, but knowing one way or the other would be most helpful.
-
See you after work......about 12 hours from now.
-
Wishing DRs Jose and JRand good days at work.
-
Getting to work vibes for DR JOSE.
Thank You, DR JRand. -Thankfully, I don't have to be there at a particularly time today, and the commute on the Orange Line gives me time to read the newspapers too.
-
Have a good day at work, DR JRand.
-
DR Ginny - It sounds like you will have quite the full house this weekend.
-
And here's the New York Times review about a new documentary about The New York Times:
"Page One: Inside The New York Times" (http://movies.nytimes.com/2011/06/17/movies/page-one-inside-the-new-york-times-review.html)
-
OK. Time to get ready for the rest of my day.
Laters...
-
DR Ginny - It sounds like you will have quite the full house this weekend.
DR Jose - only Mary Linda and her sister will actually be staying with us, but we will have lots of my relatives in the area.
-
And the word of the day is: OBTEST!
And The Song Of The Day Is: MAGIC TO DO
-
Good morning, all! I woke around 7:30, opened the blinds and saw how gray it was and went back to bed for another hour. This is another aimless day for me with no EILEEN work, but yesterday I began a project that I can work on at my liesure and will keep me busy for some time to come .
I remember none of my dreams from last night, so I have no colorful tales this morning. The first thing I need to do when I finish my coffee is pay my bills and get the checks into the post. Later, I'll call my brother Randy, whose 54th birthday is today, and tell him I love him. It will be nice to talk to my beloved sister-in-law JoAnn as well. I also need to call Local 802 about my meager pension, as long as I'm making calls this week about social security and other things pertaining to my Old Cootdom.
TOD:
DVD: I have three films from Netflix sitting here and for the life of me I have no idea of their titles!
CD: unreleased Victor Herbert music for cello and piano, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Bitter Sweet (Coward)
VCR: this porn is stale!
-
I guess BK is outdoing me.
He's serving cake at his book signing tomorrow (18).
I'm speaking tomorrow at the Faulk Central Library in Austin, but we're only serving cookies.
:(
Okay, I'll up the ante.
If you fly in to hear me talk, I'll see that you get 2 cookies!

I watched THOSE LIPS, THOSE EYES 2-3 weeks ago and loved it.
Brought back some fond memories.

I'm looking at the clutter in my apartment and thinking about moving some furniture. I would kill for another room, even another closet.

Nice that good things are going on with NUDIE MUSICAL!

Happy birthday to Larry's brother -

Yeah. At our age it would bring back memories for most of us.

I'm up and shortly helper and CDs will arrive.

It rained whilst I was sleeping.

Send some of that rain over my way, BK.

In other news...
bk - Any idea how the flesh tones of the dancing dildos look in the cleaned up print of "Nudie"? ;)
Weren't they just white?
-
A line of particularly LOUD thunderstorms began roaring through my area at around 4:00 this morning and lasted just up until it was time for me to get out of bed.
I'm too tired to even go "Grrrrr..."
-

bk - Any idea how the flesh tones of the dancing dildos look in the cleaned up print of "Nudie"? ;)

I thought they were white. By the way, it wasn't until I had seen "Nudie" about three times that I noticed that one of the dildos is an African American in a black dildo, playing the banjo. There's about a two-second close-up shot of him that's easy to miss. Once I noticed it, I thought it was hilarious. I'm always so impressed by how culturally diverse and ahead-of-his-time Bruce is, even in his treatment of porn.
-
As I've mentioned a couple times, my place of employment installed software about a year ago to keep employees from browsing any "social networking" or "entertainment" web sites from our desks, which accounts for my absence here. But every once in a while, there's a "leak." Apparently, today there's such a leak, so here I am. And I'm so glad because where else on the Internet could I talk about black dildos? Nowhere, that's where!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Last full day on the island. I'm ready for my morning swim.
-
TOD:
MP3 -- Grand Hotel, Prettybelle, Cole Porter, Sibelius. Don't have anything else on vacation.

Great news about "Nudie." May have to get a Blu-Ray to play it.
-
Happy birthday to Larry's brother -
Ditto!!

Don't be too sure; some of our DRs might know of such a place! Maybe Toys in Babeland?

They're getting cheaper and cheaper!

Topic of the Day: in my CD player at work: the original Broadway cast recording of Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, the newly issued soundtrack to "The Berlin Affair" and then both studio cast recordings of Strike Up the Band.
-
Yes, blu-ray players can be had for around $125 now. Very worthwhile if you have a hi-def TV.

CDs are shipped.

I like that they are all staying at the same hotel together. It will be so much easier physically & emotionally.
-
DR Matthew is it only while holding the leash you feel DD Ben doesn't like you? Sherlock didn't like walking our road with me when he was young, and still needs to be dragged down it at times. I assure you he likes me. Does Ben play with you in the house?
I suggest making the walks short at first & bonding with him in activities he enjoys more. It is a shame he is not leash trained. Does he seem excited about going out? Have you tried a car ride to a more interesting place to walk, (though not off leash)? Sometimes walking on leash in the house, using treats, helps. I expect you are giving him treats while he walks outside on the leash.
-
Just arrived in the mail, nice warm fuzzy socks with comfortable & excellent non-skid treads on the bottom.:D
-
Send some of that rain over my way, BK.
Yes, rain would be most welcome!
-
i wish it would rain more here. The waterways in my development is practically dry. We really are in drought
-
At least a bit of humidity, right, Kerry? And a little less wind.
-
Send some of that rain over my way, BK.
Yes, rain would be most welcome!
We are only two weeks removed from a very rare, very heavy June rainfall that had been preceded by generous rains since the beginning of the year (May through October is genereally rain-free here). Now we are being warned about the potential for a horrendous wildfire season. It seems that grasses "overgrew" all through the spring and now -- two weeks after the last rain -- they are all dried up and ready to ignite.
Sigh.
-
Kickstarter thing is almost ready, but this rigmarole one has to go through setting up an amazon payments account is asinine. So, I have no idea how long it will take for them to verify the account - I faxed them what was needed thirty minutes ago, but I guess it will be pending until they actually do the verification, and then I think we can launch the project.

Oh no! I didn't think about that. I will be the same fired hazard for us. :(

Elmore, Jose, anybody know anything about the Dramatists Guild of America? They're looking for a director of publications and, other than the name, I don't know anything about them.

The Dramatists Guild has been around for many years; it wasfounded to protect the rights of playwrights; here's their site:
http://www.dramatistsguild.com/
Go to Amazon and check "dramatists guild" for various publications. I have a couple of anthologies of their symposiums. Their Quarterly is amazing.
It would be a great job.

Just got back from working with DD Ben on a leash. He'll get it. Just will take some time. He's tuckered out now.

What is this page three? This will NOT do.

The sun finally came out.

Bank account still not verified.

If this ends up not happening in the next twenty-four hours (naturally there is no phone number to call), I'll use a different bank account other than the Kritzerland account, although I really don't want to.

Cilla please tell me that was meant to be a joke.

Yes, it looks like it was a joke. She has another video posted where she's watching it on a laptop and says to the cellphone 'Hello Hollywood?" with a big smile

Houston, we have launched the Kickstarter campaign. Check it out at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/679271860/the-first-nudie-musical-film-restoration-project
Tell me what you think. I may add a video very soon if I can figure out how to actually shoot a video by using my Mac desktop camera - if anyone has a clew, let me know.
-
I went back & noticed the other videos. Thank goodness she is joking ;D

I JUST LOVE CATS..... lol

I've been invited to a wedding shower in San Clemente on July 10th. If I were not currently disabled I would be booking a flight for the weekend.
Bruce, Jeanne, Sam, anyone else.... If I were to fly in Friday morning July 8th would it be possible to have an HHW gathering in the evening?
-
Tonight is the first back yard movie of the season at some friends house. They hang a sheet on the back of their garage and have a great patio. After dark they show the movie. It's lots of fun.

The interesting thing about Kickstarter is that if you don't meet the monetary goal (in our case, $5000) then the project goes away and no money exchanges hands.
Now, where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Listening to the first half of our new master - mastering guy has done an absolutely AMAZING job. The source material, the first generation album masters, has always been shrill and unpleasant and was that way on LP - but now, it's lustrous and full-sounding. Beautiful.
-
Then please keep the date open as a possibility. I can't decide until I know if I can roll a suitcase. I would probably stay with friends in the Valley instead of with my brother as I will not be driving.
-
We have our first Nudie Musical backer - fifty bucks. We're on our way!
-
Now, get me off this damn page.
-
I've put the Kickstarter thing on Facebook. Sunday I'll send out an eBlast.
-
Welcome nine GUESTS. Nobody here but us chickens. While you're lurking, go become a Nudie Musical patron saint.
-
Lots of luck with Kickstarter, BK !

Bruce,
Are you actually involved with this musical YEARBOOK or did they just license one or more of your songs?
http://www.dramaticpublishing.com/p1749/Yearbook:-The-High-School-Musical-(cast-recording-CD)/product_info.html
-
I'm looking for page 4
-
Is page 4 anywhere around here?
-
Had a little excitement on my lunch hour. I left my building and noticed police cars everywhere. Some of them were blocking the nearby streets. Sure enough, a minute or two later the presidential motorcade came by. The President was in the second limo- he didn't look out the window--someone said he was probably on his blackberry.
-
I found page 4, FJL!
-
Thanks, KevinH, it's always in the last place I look.
:)

The folks who created Yearbook came to several LA composers and lyricists and asked us to submit songs - which we did. I have at least two in the show. At some point, I linked to You Tube to a song called Three Friends - it's not complete on You Tube but the funny thing is I hadn't realized I'd written it until I heard the tune - unmistakably me - it was so weird. We get nice ten dollar resids every now and then.
-
We have three backers now - fun to watch this stuff, one of whom is a dear reader, one of whom is a total surprise, and one of whom was in the staged reading of the show.
-
We really must get off this page.
-
We really must.
-
I have to pick up my kritzerland package from the post office tomorrow. Looking forward to Camelot!
-
I iz a backer!
-
I signed up five minutes ago....where is my Blu Rae?
-
Almost time for THE SOUP.
We had a busy day at World of Wisdom today, which is good! I made enough commission that I could get into the movie business via Kickstarter.....most excellent!
AND said actor decided to stay in the show.....so my cast is complete....such as they are.
-
Watching a motion picture. We only have 4,850.00 to go. Remember, even one dollar helps us reach the Nudie goal.
-
Elmore, Jose, anybody know anything about the Dramatists Guild of America? They're looking for a director of publications and, other than the name, I don't know anything about them.
I've been a member for many years. They are very helpful when you need advice or have a problem.
They also put out a newsletter every couple of weeks...and a magazine for members that contains some great articles and interviews.

Good Evening!
It got HOT in DC. Hot and humid!
-
But it's cooled down again.
-
I think I should just buy another house and go live there - and use this one as a closet
-
So...
Tomorrow, I will be going back into Arena in the morning for a few more hours of practice and prep. I've been trying to play through the show at least once a day - and through the ballet at least twice. Just building up my endurance. -Could "The Farmer and the Cowhand" be any longer?!?!? ::)
Then I'll catch the matinee of A Time To Kill. Then I'll bus back up to NYC.
Sunday, I'll spend a few hours going through my storage unit. I mainly need to bring down more clothes. However, if I can drop off a few more things at Housing Works or the Textiles Recycling booth, well, that would be nice too. Then it looks like I'll be attending Broadway Bares Sunday night.
Monday should start off with some storage stuff, and then I will be playing some auditions in the afternoon. Then Monday night I will be attending the Gala Opening Night for Shakespeare in the Park - I won tickets via a Twitter contest the Public Theatre was running.
Then back to DC on an early(!) train on Tuesday morning in time for my first rehearsal at 10:00.
When I get back to my brother's place Tuesday night, I shall sleep(!!!).
-
In related news...
Since the rehearsals at Arena Stage start at 10:00am - and since I didn't want to deal with the horrendous rush-hour traffic here in DC - I had planned on riding into work with my brother, and then hopping on the Metro by his office. We could take advantage of the HOV-2 lanes. However, since my brother usually leaves for work between 6:30-7:00am, well... -I figured I could use the extra(!) time before rehearsal to practice, read, workout, nap...
For the past few days, I've been taking the 9:37am Fairfax Connector bus to the Vienna Metro station, and then getting to Arena Stage a couple of minutes before 11:00. This morning, I took the 8:45am bus, and got to Arena at 9:50. Well...
There's an 8:15 bus, and I think that's what I'll be taking in to get to rehearsals - just to be safe... Instead of hopping in the car with my brother at 7:00.
-
I hope that made sense. I lost track of how many times I started typing that post out.
-
Wow, we're up to $720 thanks to eight backers so far, one of whom will be listed as an Executive Producer in the blu-ray credits.

Tell me what you think. I may add a video very soon if I can figure out how to actually shoot a video by using my Mac desktop camera - if anyone has a clew, let me know.
Shooting a video is very easy on a Mac:
Applications -> Photo Booth -> Click on the "film strip" icon (it's the one of the right)
Then just click on the Camera icon to start recording, then click it again to stop recording.
Then if you want to edit it, open up iMovie...

Mrs. "American Gothic" is probably using it as a door stop.

And....
PAGE FIVE!!!!!

And...
Since I really am sleepy.
And...
Since I have another long day ahead of me tomorrow...
Goodnight.
-
How come I get no sound - I shot the "movie" but all I hear is a buzzing instead of me talking. Is it because I have speakers plugged into the computer?
-
So, what, everyone just disappeared today? Not like it's a holiday. We'd rebounded so nicely and now the errant and truant are once again errant and truant without so much as a how do you do. Bitch-slapping is in order, but I'm too bored to do it. At least we have our nine GUESTS.
-
Announcing the new Kritzerland release at midnight.
-
tomorrow we have a yard sale at the church I fervently hope that every thing is sold I donlt care for hpw much I just do not want to bring it back here
-

-
I need some posts.
-
So, you're selling a yard? How much?
-
BTW, everyone here (like there's anyone here) should spread the kickstarter word to any Nudie fans they might know.

Tonight's movie for movie night was Million Dollar Hotel. Strange movie, but I liked it.

We had a great crowd for the first movie of the summer and my friends got a new projector and you can actually hear the movies outside. That was a problem last year
