Well, you've read the notes, the notes will now be turned into a musical, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently turning several MOOvies into MOOsicals.

A Very Happy Birthday to DR Laura!! ;D

Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all.

Thankfully, my favorite movie-adapted-into-musical was not called "Smiles of a Summer Night, the Musical."
-
Good morning, all! I slept well, and I think I am regaining my equilibrium, which pleases me to no end. I have a busy day today, and as soon as I locate what I need here, I am off and running.
DR JohnG, congrats on the book deal! What's the book? Who's the publisher? Do I get a dedication?
DRCillaliz, fantastic news about the checkbook and the bank's debit card approach!

LOL! I wish. Those take a loooong time to make.

Wednesday morning greetings! My mother decided to postpone our shopping trip to Friday because it's raining today, so I have an unexpected day to myself.

Happiest of birthdays to DR Laura! Here's a cake for you (actually, it's the cake that Mary Linda's mother made for the bridal shower in Michigan, but I thought we needed a butterfly cake...):
-
Happy birthday to dear DR Laura!
-
I'm up and announcing. Here's our new release - you can just go to the site to order.
Kritzerland is proud to present a limited edition soundtrack release – world premiere of the complete score:
THELMA & LOUISE
Music Composed by Hans Zimmer
Sometimes the right people come together at the right time to make the right movie for the right audience. Certainly it happened in 1991 with Thelma & Louise, a film where each of its creative elements came together and resulted in a film that truly struck a chord with audiences and critics. A road movie, a buddy movie, a comedy, a tragedy, Thelma & Louise became an instant classic. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are perfection as Thelma and Louise, both delivering multi-layered and iconic performances. Harvey Keitel is their equal as Detective Hal Slocumb, and Michael Madsen, Christopher McDonald, and Brad Pitt are all excellent in supporting roles.
Every creative component of the film is masterful – from direction, writing, acting, editing, photography, art direction, costuming – it’s all of a piece and that includes the great score by Hans Zimmer. Zimmer, born in 1957, had begun scoring films on his own in the 1980s, with projects such as A World Apart, Paperhouse, and others. But it was in 1988 that he got his big break, scoring the Barry Levinson film Rain Man. Rain Man was a smash, and Zimmer received his first Oscar nomination. Then came Twister, Black Rain, and Driving Miss Daisy, and since then he has been one of the most successful film composers in history, composing scores for such hits as Days Of Thunder, A League Of Their Own, The Lion King, As Good As It Gets, Crimson Tide, The Rock, The Prince Of Egypt, Gladiator, Hannibal, Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Batman Begins, The Da Vinci Code, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, Kung Fu Panda, Sherlock Holmes, Inception, and many, many others. He has been nominated for eight Academy Awards and taken home the prize once – for The Lion King.
Zimmer’s score for Thelma & Louise captures Scott’s visuals and the tone of the film perfectly. While there are a fair number of pop songs used in the movie, it’s Zimmer’s twangy, mournful, exciting, hard-driving, bluesy music that really propels the film and helps give it its distinctive feel – and it features the absolutely mind-bending guitar work of the great Pete Haycock.
Thelma & Louise had a soundtrack release on MCA that was all songs save for one four-minute track, “Thunderbird.” That track was assembled specifically for that album and was not used in the film in that form ever. It basically pieced together parts of three different cues to make the one four-minute track. For this first ever release of the film score, we present all the music as Zimmer recorded it for its use in the film. As sometimes happens, a few of the cues were shortened for the movie, but we left them in their entirety for the CD. As a bonus, we also include the “Main Title” cue exactly as it is edited in the movie (it’s comprised of two score cues). It’s a real pleasure to finally bring Zimmer’s wonderful score to CD – it’s been way too long in coming.
This release is limited to 1200 copies only. The price is $19.98, plus shipping. Go to the item page and click on the link to find out about it.
CD will ship the last week of October – however, never fear, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to five weeks earlier (we’ve been averaging four weeks early). To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit www.kritzerland.com.

And since it appears that this morning's rush hour is still going "rushing"...
Laters...
-
! ! ! ! ! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR LAURA ! ! ! ! !
-
I need to come up with a new birthday greeting.
-
An actual THELMA & LOUISE soundtrack should sell like cakes that are hot!
-
"Hmmm...that CHICAGO movie that came out a few years ago...I bet that would be a terrific Broadway musical!
...needs new songs, though...maybe we can get Lady Gaga to write them..."
-
Congrats to DR JohnG on his book!
Congrats to DR Jose on his milestone!
Great news DR Cillaliz that you found your checkbook! (btw did you see DWTS?)
-
Happy Birthday DR Laura! Hope you have a great day!
Can't wait to read about what DR Sandra does! (always good for a good laugh).
-
Did anybody else watch Glee (no spoilers)?
I thought the second half was much better than the first!
-
Oh and re: Glee what did anyone who watched think of Lindsay (from the Glee Project)? I thought she was unbelievable.
-

I watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. :)
-
Oh and re: Glee what did anyone who watched think of Lindsay (from the Glee Project)? I thought she was unbelievable.
I didn't watch The Glee Project, so I didn't know who she was.
-
Happy Birthday DR LAURA.
-
CD ordered.
-
Congrats to DR JOHNG on his book contract.
DR JOSE has more going on in the next few days than I have planned for the rest of the year!
-
Off to Zumba.
-
I am up much, much, much (that's three muches) too darned early...well, for me. ;)
Today is our All Staff Training Day (ASTD, in Timberland lingo). Years ago, it used to just be All Staff Day, but then they added the word "Training" to it...and then they started using the letters ASTD...and now all I ever think of when I see that is "A Sexually Transmitted Disease." ::)
See? I did learn something in high school!
;)
-
Anyway, time for a shower, then to get dressed, then to the All Staff Training Day. Fortunately, it's in Lacey, which is only about 10 miles away. :)
Have a good day, all!
-
I also liked the second half of GLEE better - Darren Criss plays one of my favorite characters on the show. I also liked the girl from the GLEE PROJECT.
Chris Colfer is just so bad that I can't even watch or listen to him - there were some interesting developments to be explored although the device of Quinn and her new friends seems very forced....
I liked NEW GIRL - but most of the jokes in the first show had been shown repeatedly in promos since July, that a lot of the humor was gone from them....we shall see.....and I think Coach has been recast since the pilot, so Wayans Jr is off the show - he is in something else....
-
Vibes for good food for DR GEORGE at the ASTD.
-
DR George - have fun at ASTD! I used to enjoy those days when I worked at Dayton Metro.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR LAURA!!!!!
Thank you, Jose!
-
And the word of the day is: PREPRADIAL!
And The Song Of The Day Is: SUPPERTIME
(Let's Hear It For CARTOONS INTO MUSICALS.....A little LOUDER,Next Time)

Been printing out a LOT of orders. This is moving very quickly, so I'm glad I did 1200 rather than 1000.
-
After reading BK's rant in today's notes, I have decided to discontinue my work on VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT: THE MUSICAL.
A shame, though. I'm sure it would have revolutionized Broadway.
-
Well, hmm, I just borrowed a Kindle book from my former employer...
-
Good Afternoon!
Greetings from The Schoolhouse!
-
*And I'm glad I left my brother's house when I did. One accident + two work zones = hour and 15 minute commute. :-\
-
Happy Birthday, Laura!
-
I've seen both RED EYE and FLIGHTPLAN.
Both, I thought, were entertaining, albeit farfetched,
-
Regarding movies into musicals:
I don't think that the source of a musical is as important as what the creators do with it.
I know that some people disagree, but I love RAGTIME. It's one of my all time favorite musicals.
On the other hand, I thought that SUNSET BOULEVARD, aside from a couple of terrific songs, was a bore. Like BK, says, "It's like watching the movie on stage". [We saw it in London with Petula Clark, who was great.]
Personally, a good musical is one where I leave the theater humming most of the songs. These days, you're lucky to find one memorable song in a stage musical.
I guess that's why they keep reviving Rogers and Hammerstein.
-
As for last night's season premiere of "Glee": it is what it is. (Or was what it was.) It's not a perfect show, but I still find it entertaining. -And I'm happy for my friends who have picked up some very gainful from being cast in the series.
-
A little butterfly told me today was DR Laura's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR LAURA!!! From Callie, Boo and Richard, too
-
For DR Laura

I like the part where they say they do a dance when the butterflies hatch or maybe she said "every one said it was dancing when it came out" either way, I like it
-
DR Laura, do you let the monarchs sit on your nose?
-
Happy Birthday to my brother David
-
Happy Birthday to my brother David
Ditto!!!!! Happy birthday to David
-
I don't have a problem with turning a movie into a musical. Loved HAIRSPRAY, loved LEGALLY BLONDE...I'm sure there are others. I think it's worse to try to turn a musical into a movie..like Mama Mia,
-
TIme for me to decide how I"m going to spend the afternoon. I have more than enough work to do, but am pretty drained. I came into the office this morning and have put out most of the fires that started when I was gone. Think I'll take off this afternoon and practice my flute so I"m ready for my first band rehearsal tonight
-
Cilla - have I ever sent to you the link to my song about David?

It's ostensibly about King david, but seems to work for any David.

Thank you, Druxy.

Thank you, Cillaliz, Callie, Boo, and Little Ricky. (He'll always be Little Ricky to me.)
-
The butterflies are pretty skittish out here, Cillaliz.
-
Orders still coming in apace. I should think this will be sold out by this evening - and that's a good thing given the sales of our last few titles.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR LAURA! May the cake be with you.
-
So, I finished reading a biography of Sal (WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR?) Mineo. . .who knew that he an Bobby (HERE COME THE BRIDES) Sherman were an item?!?!?!
-
I've seen both RED EYE and FLIGHTPLAN.
Both, I thought, were entertaining, albeit farfetched,
I saw neither, but, I am a big fan of Otto Preminger's BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING.
-

You, if you'd hung out here a little more in the past year! ;D
DR JRand61 and I discussed it, much to DR Druxy's disbelief, as I recall.
I have to prepare for my trips to meet David Brophy, the conductor of EILEEN who arrives today to conduct the RTE Orchestra tomorrow nght at Alce Tully Hsall, and then to meet Bruce Pomahac, Joshie, and Rob Berman for my birthday dinner with them at Joe allen's.
-
Richard just tried to borrow the Kindle version of a book from Dayton Metro Library and was told that he already has that content on his e-reader. I find that a little creepy.
-
To TCB. In reply to your question yesterday. yes, Istanbul is solely a vacation. I used to do a lot of business travel until I retired a few years ago but now I only do vacations!
Today we took a boat trip on the Bospheros which made a change from all that walking.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR LAURA! May the cake be with you.
Thanks, td!
-
Even though it's cool here in SW Ohio, we finally gave in and closed the windows and turned on the AC - just to dry out. The humidity is 88% and our paperback books are curling up!

Happy Birthday to Cillaliz's brother David!

2 ASK BK QUESTIONS
1) Are the webisodes standalones or do they have an "arc"?
Not sure if I ever asked the question before, but.......
2) You used Mark Rutland for your director credit on the film Prime Suspect. Did you "borrow" the name from Sean Connery's character in Marnie?

I don't like "arcs" so no, at least not now. They have one recurring character, only heard, never seen.
And yes, Mark Rutland was cadged from Marnie.

Thank you, Cillaliz, Callie, Boo, and Little Ricky. (He'll always be Little Ricky to me.)
He's still Ricky to me most of the time...unless he's being bad..then he's Richard. He's been Richard a lot lately, lol. I think he's just happy I'm home
-
He's Ricky right now....he's sleeping
-
Thanks for the greetings for my brother. They are going to the MN Renaissance Festival and a Vikings game this weekend.
-
Tonight is my first rehearsal with the All-America Band. It will be interesting
-
I have to admit I'm a bit excited about it. I just realized it's been 30 years since I quit being a flute performance major....oh my....this will REALLY be interesting
-
Cilla I'm glad you found your checkbook.
-
From Ginny:
Zooey's show was kind of quirky.
LOL-I expect it to be quirky. Did you like it?
-
Thanks for the "Girl" report George. I think we will watch it tonight. I really expect Keith to turn it off after 5 minutes.
-
Happy Birthday DR Laura! Hope you have a great day!
Can't wait to read about what DR Sandra does! (always good for a good laugh).
I'm also looking forward to reading about her cake.

DR Ginny, you sent DR Laura a beautiful butterfly cake.

DR JRand61 and I discussed it, much to DR Druxy's disbelief, as I recall.
I am sorry I missed that discussion! :(
To go from white-bread Bobby Sherman to bad-boy Don Johnson (though, according to DJ, never consummated) just shows what a versatile player Sal Mineo was. ;)
Now, I must get around to seeing CHEYENNE AUTUMN. . .

From Ginny:
Zooey's show was kind of quirky.
LOL-I expect it to be quirky. Did you like it?
Haven't decided yet. I'll probably watch a few more episodes, but won't mind missing it. I kept thinking, "Wow, this is no BIG BANG THEORY."
-
No joke, just that Georgia is the state associated in pop culture with executions since I keep thinking of that's the night the lights went out in Georgia, that's the night they hung an innocent man

We love BIG BANG but the previews of NEW GIRL made me think she might be annoying, and I like the actress.

I started to watch a motion picture and promptly fell asleep for forty minutes. Guess I'll have to start over.
-
Both Thelma AND Louise are now sold out at Kritzerland. Our next release, as some know, will be our Very Very Special Special Edition of Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang - which now looks like it will be a two CD set.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Laura!
Thanks, Kevin.
-
Hello, everyone.
MEGA BIRTHDAY WISHES TO DR LAURA!!
I hope you're having a great day.

Congrats to BK on the THELMA & LOUISE sell-out. I'm sure you are pleased.

Glad to hear that Cillaliz found her checkbook.

After reading BK's rant in today's notes, I have decided to discontinue my work on VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT: THE MUSICAL.

Jose, thanks for mentioning the SHERLOCK special features. I watched the show online and didn't even think about special features. I would like to see them.
-
JRand, sigh. I was in the audience at many tapings. I know that several of them were for THE LUCY SHOW, as Lucy was my dad's "boss" at the time (Desilu). IIRC (and I may not), I was also there for THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW and THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW. But I cannot tell you which seasons or give any details about the shows. Sorry. And I do not have a loud or distinctive laugh (thankfully).
-
Ginny, if it bothers you that others know what's on your Kindle, how about this:
I recently received an email from a retailer, advertising a sale. I briefly looked at their merchandise (through the email), but chose not to purchase anything. A day or two later I received a second email from them, saying that they saw that I'd looked at their merchandise but didn't purchase. Then they asked me why I wasn't buying from them!! I can understand why they'd want to know, but it did strike me as pushy!!
-
Hello, everyone.
MEGA BIRTHDAY WISHES TO DR LAURA!!
I hope you're having a great day.
Thanks, Jeanne. My sister called and we had a nice long visit.

I am making a pizza. The kind I like. So there.

Good morning, all! I slept well, and I think I am regaining my equilibrium, which pleases me to no end. I have a busy day today, and as soon as I locate what I need here, I am off and running.
DR JohnG, congrats on the book deal! What's the book? Who's the publisher? Do I get a dedication?
DRCillaliz, fantastic news about the checkbook and the bank's debit card approach!
DR Jose, is your FOLLIES situation all worked out?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Felicitations To Our DR Laura !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy, happy, Laura

DR Laura - So what was DR Sandra "scraping" together earlier?
-
Just in case you were wondrin': Will just sold Jud the Little Wonder.
-
Both Thelma AND Louise are now sold out at Kritzerland. Our next release, as some know, will be our Very Very Special Special Edition of Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang - which now looks like it will be a two CD set.
How about "Thelma and Louise: The Musical"? Big car goes sailing off the stage at the end of the show as the orchestra swells and our Thelma and Louise sing one of those "Take off and let's go flying" songs that "Will Rogers Follies" and "Take Flight" were all about. They sharpened the edges of the cookie cutter. We just have to cut it out!
-
Elmore, the book is called "The Food Lover's Guide to San Antonio." The publisher is Globe Peuquot from the Northeast and if you tell me where in San Antonio you can shop for Asian candies, duck tongues or French mustards then you will definitely be included in the dedication.
-
I don't remember congratulationg John G. for his book deal yesterday.
So let me be among the first today to say:
CONGRATULATIONS, JOHN G.!

G'night!

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS FOR EVERYONE.

Must run. Not much to say.
;D

I finished reading WORK SONG, which I enjoyed immensely, on the Nook. After reading so many books on the Nook it will feel strange to read a paperback tonight.
-
'night

Just tried to add a new credit card to paypal, to order cd, it takes 2 days to confirm card, bk will never have Thelma & Louise for me to order. Other card is max'd out.

Sometimes my life just sucks. Oh well. Most of the time I'm still happy ;D ;D ;D.

DR LAURA!
Thank you, TCB.
-
Good morning, all! I slept well, and I think I am regaining my equilibrium, which pleases me to no end. I have a busy day today, and as soon as I locate what I need here, I am off and running.
DR JohnG, congrats on the book deal! What's the book? Who's the publisher? Do I get a dedication?
DRCillaliz, fantastic news about the checkbook and the bank's debit card approach!
DR Jose, is your FOLLIES situation all worked out?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Felicitations To Our DR Laura !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy, happy, Laura
Thank you, John.

DR Laura - So what was DR Sandra "scraping" together earlier?
She was making cupcakes. She put M&Ms in them. Sadly, all the M&Ms sunk to the bottom and made the bottoms as hard as a rock. The tops are good, though.

Sounds like an interesting experiment. I like those brownies where you bake a small Reese's cup into the middle and then cover with more brownie batter.

Well, I'm back from my first band practice. I knew I was in the right place when the first piece we worked on was "Selections from Oklahoma". I chuckled and thought of DR Jose. It's really long so there were some cuts....in our verions Poor Jud doesn't die. lol
-
Seriously it was fun. The attitude is really great, everyone just wants to play and enjoy music. I realized it's been 30 years since I was actively a flute performance major. Several of the members said "Don't worry, it will all come back" Everyone is supportive. The first chair flute is a very young band director at a local school. She said she's only first chair because no one else wanted it. Now that's the attitude I need. We have a lot of music and our first concert is October 23. I'm going to be practicing a lot between now and next Wednesday. Tonight i did way too much watching the notes go by

Sounds great.

I leave for Albany in the morning for a few days' residency at school. Hope to get started on the book in earnest.
Night, all.

DR Jennifer, i don't think you could call what I did really watching Dancing with the Stars. I was getting ready for my oral argument before the 8th Circuit. The TV was on, but I wasn't really watching that closely. I don't have any favorites. I'm hoping that dancing may improve Nancy Grace's demeanor, but that may be impossible
-
Well, I have to be in beautiful Yellow Springs, OH, at 8:30am tomorrow for a grantwriters' conference, so I'll be E & T all day - 'night!
-
Glad you had fun, Cillaliz.
-
Safe travels, John. I don't suppose you'll have fun on this trip.
-
Thanks Laura, I really did. I tried to join a group like this in Mesa when I lived there. The flute section was not at all welcoming or friendly and I only went for a couple weeks before quitting. I was a bit concerned I'd find the same thing here, but it's the opposite. If you're interested, here's the band website

Oh and re: Glee what did anyone who watched think of Lindsay (from the Glee Project)? I thought she was unbelievable.
I didn't watch The Glee Project, so I didn't know who she was.
In case anybody doesn't know who Lindsay was on Glee. She was the girl who starred in the "Anything Goes" number that made Rachel feel so sad!
-
It's a cool organization. 100% corporate sponsorship so what they do is play concerts only for qualifying non-profit organizations and 100% of all ticket sales go to the nonprofit. Pretty cool. I guess they get a number of applications from nonprofits each year asking to be beneficiaries of the band concerts
-
Travel vibes to JohnG

I joined a community chorus once, but I found the people were unfriendly. I didn't have any fun. No reason to continue.
-
There's a community choruse in my home town called Many Voices. We called it many vices as the events at the local pub after practice resulted in a few divorces and new marriages
-
That sounds like a friendly bunch!
-
Too friendly.....
-
Happy Birthday to David brother of concert flute player DR CILLA LIZ

What happens when the first chair player of an instrument in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra dies?
-
They move him down one chair.
-
Yes DR td - Mr Mineo and Mr Johnson and Mr Sherman were discussed here in detail last summer.
-
I finished reading BORN TO BE HURT - the story of Imitation of Life....which was most interesting.
-
Oh and I did survive Zumba this morning. And I made it all the way through the hour.
-
THELMA AND LOUISE was purchased this morning.
-
We also have a symphony here. I'm sure they are much more competitive
-
Oh and I did survive Zumba this morning. And I made it all the way through the hour.
Are you going to do it again?
-
Oh dear DR MBARNUM I was looking forward to the musical version of VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT.....
I think Sunja's solo song could become an anthem......
I however will continue to work on my stage musical version of ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN - the finale featuring the song:
"Harry - I Know Where He Is - He's With that Woman!" will have the audience members out of their seats.
-
Oh and I did survive Zumba this morning. And I made it all the way through the hour.
Are you going to do it again?
Yup.....two days a week....Monday evening and Wednesday morning.
-
Too much ME on this page......and I didn't even have a question for MR BK this week.
-

Hmmm, I know people who do that....I still have to decide on an exercise plan...my doctor told me it's time to do it

Vibes for good food for DR GEORGE at the ASTD.
DR George - have fun at ASTD! I used to enjoy those days when I worked at Dayton Metro.
Thanks Jack and Ginny! I survived ASTD. It was actually pretty fun. The keynote speaker was Garth Stein, who wrote (among others) "The Art of Racing In the Rain (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Racing-Rain-Novel/dp/0061537969/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316663257&sr=1-1)," a novel told from the point of view of a dog. Not really spoilers here but he dies at the beginning of the book and I think it's about him telling about his life with his owners and something about dog reincarnation. I bought a copy, but I missed getting his autograph. Oh, well. It does sound like a very good book, so I think I'll read it anyway. ;)
-
For the lunch, they had make-your-own burritos or taco salads. It was all quite good, but I think I got too much of the beans...if you know what I'm sayin'. :o Fortunately, the side effects of too much beans didn't start appearing until I got home...which is where I am now.
-
I almost forgot, Garth Stein also mentioned that the movie rights to "The Art of Racing in the Rain" have been sold, so people were kind of excited about that.
-
Are they going to make it into a musical after they make it into a movie?
-
AND every other year, Timberland Library does Timberland Reads Together (http://www.trl.org/ProgramsResources/Pages/TRT11/TRT.aspx), and "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is this year's book.
-
Are they going to make it into a musical after they make it into a movie?
Hey...if they can make Disney's "101 Dalmatians" into a musical, anything can happen. ;)
-
As for last night's season premiere of "Glee": it is what it is. (Or was what it was.) It's not a perfect show, but I still find it entertaining. -And I'm happy for my friends who have picked up some very gainful from being cast in the series.
Also, in the lunch jam scene, the blond guy playing the guitar in the band is from Olympia! His name is Derik and I was in a couple of shows with him! But that was a long time ago.
-
Richard just tried to borrow the Kindle version of a book from Dayton Metro Library and was told that he already has that content on his e-reader. I find that a little creepy.
They just announced at our All Staff Training Day today that the Kindle format was live on the library's website! We thought that it wouldn't be ready until closer to the end of the year. I've already checked out a downloadable library book for my Kindle!
-
Time for me to get to sleep. Night everyone
-
Keep getting waylaid by telephonic calls so I only finished half of RKO 281 - really not very good.
-
Happy Birthday to my brother David
Ditto!!!!! Happy birthday to David
Happy Birthday to Davie Ditto # Two!!

Both Thelma AND Louise are now sold out at Kritzerland. Our next release, as some know, will be our Very Very Special Special Edition of Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang - which now looks like it will be a two CD set.
Hoo and Ray!! ;D

Cillaliz, it sounds like a lot of fun! Hope you enjoy the whole experience!

I don't have a problem with turning a movie into a musical. Loved HAIRSPRAY, loved LEGALLY BLONDE...I'm sure there are others. I think it's worse to try to turn a musical into a movie..like Mama Mia,
...or "The Producers." ::)
-
Happy Birthday, DR Laura
-
Well, I need to get to sleep...I don't think that I got more than four hours last night. :P
Good night, all. :)
