Well, you've read the notes, the notes noted what a revoltin' development this is, and now it is time for you to post until the revoltin' cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: LYARD!
-
And the way I'm feeling about our new HUGE all-time low? If we even approach that one more time, I will think about shutting this board down, as I will not watch us dwindle down to a precious few - that would just be too too nauseating to even think about. In fact, I won't think about it - I'll just do it. I haz spoken.
-
Perhaps if a few of our fifty-eight GUESTS would join our merry troupe, we wouldn't have achieved the HUGE new all-time low we just achieved.
-
Hooray! My internet connection is back. I just hope it stays that way. It's a good job I was away most of the time it was off or I would have been tearing my hair out. I see now that the ISP did post a notice on their website the first day it went down, saying some customers were having connection problems. Dead right!
-
I'm at a loss for the topic of the day. :)
-
Good morning!
-
Aren't the Walgreens twins a hoot?
-
I was at the Austin Comic Con Friday and yesterday, as I will be again today.
I have sold a lot of books.
:)
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
The exterminator will be here in about 2 hours.
After that we will have breakfast and then go about our day.
-
I hope that Dear Larry has been having a good time in Hilton Head and that performances are everything he hoped for.
-
Back to work tomorrow after finishing by deadline.
It will be less hectic for a day or two but then my yearly project will kick in and in the last 9 days I will have to work hard and fast to finish as much as possible.
Of course, if we had closed earlier this project would be well over 50 percent done and by the time of my last day for 2011 (November 30) I would have been 99.99% done. But, then, I'm just the grunt that does the work. Who cares about that?

I’ve always fondly remembered the film FRENCH CANCAN from the time I first saw it at the age of 10. My parents were keen filmgoers and especially liked French films and they took me and the rest of the family to see numerous foreign language films – fortunately I was a good reader (I had to be!) so sub-titles never bothered me. I had never seen the film again until the recent French Blu-ray release.
It has now been released by the BFI in the UK, which I’ve just got – I wanted this version as well, partly because I wanted to see the making of documentary and restoration featurette with English sub-titles – the French disc only has French language. It also contains an 18 page booklet about the film. The disc – with those wonderful colors - looks exactly like the French version; the master was provided by Gaumont who did the French disc. The restoration feature is interesting and explains that the film was restored from the original negative which had been stored at the BFI. The UK release is locked to region B I’m afraid.
-
The laundry is on the go. Later on I will be preparing the roast leg of lamb which should be yummy delicious.
It's a beautiful sunny day here.

The load in for the Stephen J. Falat Holiday Basket Project is December 2nd. We will then work from December 5th through the 9th and the next week for as long as it takes to finish (probably another 2 or 3 days). The rest of the time in December is ours. We have no plans other than to just relax and enjoy the holidays.
Last year my work was interrupted by that pesky problem with my appendix. It won't happen this year since I don't have it anymore. It's the 26th Year and all should go smoothly.

Here I am with 43 guests. Who are the guests, and where are the non-guests?
-
Here I am...with Kerry and 41 guests.
It's nice to know that 40-plus people tune in to the "day of our lives" each morning to see what's up, what's happening, what's doin' and what-all-else.
Maybe, however, they're tryin' to figure out where in the world is JoseSPiano?
-
And once again....I post...and all 40-plus guests disappear.
When I arrived on this page and saw all those guests I "refreshed" the page just to make sure there were 41. And 41 remained in place. I scrawled a few words, and BAZINGA...everyone headed for the hills...or the flatlands...or the mall.
-
I'm back after a hop, skip and jump to other sites...and now I see an anomaly. Once again, this site tells me I'm here with 42 guests. I'm betting there will be zero guests when I post this.
-
Yep. Very curious.
Very odd.
Very strange.
-
I just found those two straps to make my bathing suit smaller. I could not believe where i found them.
Outside!
I think they were in the pouch where i keep my keys (in my purse). Maybe at night when i took my keys out they flew out of my purse??
I must have dreamed about putting them in a safe place. That is the weirdest part.
Good thing i stopped looking. Cause that is about the last place i would have checked!
-
It shows me one guest.
-
My niece has had a fever on and off all week. My sister took her to the doctor earlier in the week. And there was no infection. But the fever came back friday and saturday.
So i went to the tiny tots clinic yesterday morning at 9am and they said they would be taking appointments for Sunday at 8am Sunday. So i go back at 8am. And the place is closed (but people are waiting). When the lady finally opens the doors (at around 8:15am) she says there are no more appointments.
She says they were all taken online. My sister had been trying online. But apparently they are only open online from 10pm-7am. :(
So she's on a waiting list. But now my sister called to say she doesn't have a fever right now. So even if they call she is not sure what to do. :(
-
I am super hungry. Going to go eat now!
-
Only one guest.
-
I went to Wal Mart today to buy my newspaper, and right inside the door was a B I G lighted and decorated Christmas Tree....and there was Christmas music on the speakers.....
-
Since my sister Molly couldn't use the computer I gave her - I asked my Uncle Wayne if he would like to use it. I have been pestering him to get on the inner web for many years.....and to my surprise he said yes.
I took it out to his house this morning and set it up, and he will call Comcast tomorrow to come out to make the connection.....and then he will be on the net!!!
-
His house was custom built by an architect in the late 1970's and is very unique. It has lots of angles and skylights and gallery windows.......a floating staircase.....and a conversation pit with a wet bar.....it is fun to be in.
I can't pull the photo from Google street view....but it is very fun!
-
TOD:
To whom did you send your FIRST email when you got on the inner web?
Who sent YOU your first (personal) email?

And the word of the day is: LYARD!

-
DR MBARNUM I have been listening to Science Fiction Dance Party as well....most entertaining.
I also have a copy of BLACK ZOO for you, but I will find some more things to send along as well.
-
I had an exhausting day yesterday, but we did have a fantastic time seeing Gary Gullman and those of you who are FB friends of DW Wife Betsy can see a horrible picture of her with Gary taken last night (it was pitch black in the room and I artificially brightened the pic when we got home). They actually look like siblings with those noses of theirs LOL.
-
Gullman was hilarious, though he was curiously lowkey for a lot of his rather long (probably an hour or so) set.
-
The fact that Gullman had an hour of almost purely Jewish material, and that it was all hysterical, was fairly amazing.
-
One of Betsy's standup teachers was his opening act and he was good, if not as good as Gary.
-
I'll be very surprised if Gary doesn't end up with a sitcom as he is (as the opening act said to us before the show) "movie star handsome," plus he's like 6'6".
-
Good morning to all
-
I usually wake up anywhere between 6-7am and to my surprise I woke up at 11am.
-
And now I can catch up on my NPR programs
First up
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me
-
Then
Car Talk
-
And finally
not a NPR program
The Comedy Couch
-
Wait Wait Don't Tell
My favorite panelist members are
Paula Poundstone and Mo Rocca I wish they were on every week
And all the others who rotate are great too.

DR JMK - get the "L" out.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I did paint the town last night. ::)
-
Well... I did see a play and spend some time on the 2 bus line.
-
Good morning, all. It's still morning for a few minutes.
-
Sorry, JRand, I never kept track of emails or the history of them in my life. I have no idea.
-
Did get work done, but not enough. Does one ever get enough?
-
I think the book is a good 3/4 finished, which means that real labor-intensive stuff is just beginning. One month until deadline.
-
last night the Vixter and I drove into Queens to See the Queensborough College production of Little Shop of Horrors
One of her friends is a student at the college and a huge fan of the show
-
the set was nice
-
the (hidden) orchestra was good and loud
-
well loud
-
one of the (4!) Marvelletes had a great voice
-
Audrey had a nice wig
-
they had 4 really good Audrey II puppets
-
the puppeteer was really good
-
the traffic wasn't too bad
-
see how I keeping things positive?
-
I have been told that it is much more healthy and life affirming to look at the positive side of things so I will attempt to do so
-
I'm up - I didn't get to sleep until two, but I still got eight and a half hours so that's nice.
-
What play did Jose see? Where did Jose eat?
-
Looks like I'll be able to jog this morning.
-
Yes DR VIXMOM sometimes all you can be is positive.
-
Did anyone else have as much troulbe getting online as I did last night? And then around 6:00 we started getting a wind storm, so I went to bed. But, I am not responsible for the all-time low yesterday! I blame that on DR Jose.
-
T.O.D.
Sunday is also Forgot to ASK BK DAY
BK, when are the performances for the LACC show? And what is the actual title of the production?
-
it is a beautiful sunny day and the Vixter needs a driving lesson
-
vibes please
-
How was leg room, vixmom? Or did you mention that?
-
Roy Lichtenstein vibes for DR VIXMOM
-
In resonse to all the requests for photos (well I think at least one DR mentioned something about it) here are a few photos of my Bilbao trip. The silver building is, of course, the Guggenheim Museum. The stained glass window is in the railway station.

NHK Ice Skating this afternoon. I haven't read the results yet - so we shall see what we shall see.
-
Wow! DR DOUG R - what great photos!!!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had some good weather.
-
I see Bill's Beer Hall there.
-
A Kurt Weill reference.

Wow! DR DOUG R - what great photos!!!

Weather was amazing. I didn't expect it to be so hot and sunny. I was really lucky.

Terrific photos, Doug R!!!!!
-
Good Morning, once again!
I took a little break to get things organized here, as well as to join my friends/hosts for a breakfast "appetizer" of sorts. My last stop last night was Fred 62 in Los Feliz. They're famous for their housemade pop-tarts - which they call Punk Tarts. So, I brought back a few for us to enjoy this morning - Pumpkin and Raspberry. And they were very good.
-
And now Michelle it making some waffles, and her husband, Cliff, is manning the bacon station. Me, I'm a-posting.
-
DR Doug R - Those photos are amazing! -With all these DRs making trips to Europe lately, well... Hmmm...
-
And as bk mentioned, we did have a good and thorough rehearsal yesterday. I was trying out some "new" charts that I came up - mainly transpositions - so now I have to get used to reading those (instead of the originals). Slowly, but surely.
-
And I finally got my book in order. :)
-
last night the Vixter and I drove into Queens to See the Queensborough College production of Little Shop of Horrors
One of her friends is a student at the college and a huge fan of the show
DR vixmom - I believe Queensborough College was one of the last stops on the bus and truck tour I did of Anything Goes. That auditorium certainly is "charming" and has some "character". ;)
-
What play did Jose see?
Well, since you asked...
I saw Next Fall at the Geffen Playhouse (http://geffenplayhouse.com/more_info.php?show_id=135). -Thus my time spent on the 2 Bus Line - a.k.a. the Sunset Blvd line.
I had missed the show when it was in NYC, and I'm glad I got to see it last night. All I had really known about the play, besides it receiving some wonderful reviews, was that it was a bit of a tear-jerker and dealt with the relationship of a gay couple, well.. It certainly was that and much, much more.
The play was directed by Sheryl Kaller. Sheryl and I worked for two seasons up at New York Stage & Film, and I was eager to see her Tony-nominated work. As it turned out, she was there last night too. It was her last night in L.A. before heading back to NYC. -And if I had actually made the show on Friday night as originally planned, then I would not have seen her. We had a brief catch up session right after the show before she headed backstage for one final check in with her cast. It was the perfect way to cap the evening.
-
Where did Jose eat?
Well, since you asked...
I had dinner at Yamato (http://www.yamatorestaurants.com/) on the UCLA campus. -The Geffen Playhouse is on the UCLA campus too. It was good, not great sushi, but what it lacked in finesse, it more than made up in the size of their portions. I ordered their house roll, The Yamato, and it turned out to be composed of two regular sized rolls placed end to end on a long plate. And I had also ordered a few other items to round out my menu. Needless to say, I had more than enough to eat once everything was placed n my table.
-
It is interesting that I can read the description of a play, and it doesn't make me curious at all.....but when someone here on HHW talks about it.....it becomes much more interesting and real....and maybe even a "hope I can see that someday..." show.
Except of course DR VIXMOM's Little Shop of Horrors.
-
Oooohhh!
Waffles are ready!
Laters...
-
...And those waffles were yummy!
-
Just checking in.
We surpassed yesterday!!!
-
And now I need to get ready to head back downtown to the Disney Concert Hall for this afternoon's concert by the L.A. Philharmonic with the Labecque Sisters. -And then I'm seeing Bring It On later tonight at the Ahmanson. A full day of cul-cha!
Laters...
-
Sunday afternoon greetings! We are back from Lima and we've had Richard's birthday lunch-of-choice - carry-in fried chicken. Yes, today's his big 65th!

You went in person just to book an appointment. The entire appointment system just doesn't seem right. What if it were serious. Were sick people there waiting without getting an appointment?!? :(
-
Since my sister Molly couldn't use the computer I gave her - I asked my Uncle Wayne if he would like to use it. I have been pestering him to get on the inner web for many years.....and to my surprise he said yes.
I took it out to his house this morning and set it up, and he will call Comcast tomorrow to come out to make the connection.....and then he will be on the net!!!
I initially read that as comforter. Computer makes a lot more sense. :)

LOL-It is horrible but she looks very happy. :)
-
I'll be very surprised if Gary doesn't end up with a sitcom as he is (as the opening act said to us before the show) "movie star handsome," plus he's like 6'6".
Then he could have Betsy guest star as his sister. :)
-
Great photos, Doug R. And JRand, great Kurt Weill reference.
-
Thanks, DR Jane!
-
vibes please
;D STAY CALM VIBES!!!
VIBES TO DR VIXTER SURVIVING DR VIXMOM ;)

DR Doug G thank you for those incredible photos!!!!!

I am enjoying a warm house. :D

Well she has a regular doctor. But she doesn't work on the weekends.
There is a phone system. But it's very often busy. And i only live 5 minutes away. So it's faster for me to just drive over.
It's a tiny tots clinic.
But the system does not work well.
Anyhow my niece is actually feeling better. She had no fever today. So all is well.
-
DR Jane there were only 2 kids there. There was one appointment at 2:30pm for the first kid. They were then taking appointments for the next day for the other few people.
It makes no sense to me because yesterday they would not make an appointment for today.
Now that my sis knows the online booking is from 10pm-7am she should have luck if she ever needs to go there again. Every time she has tried to book online the system has been down. I mentioned this to the woman and she was like "oh it only works from 10pm-7am". But it wouldn't be obvious unless you knew the system I guess.
-
I shall now be on my way to see what I'm told is a three-hour production of Falsettos - I doubt I shall last the whole way through.

Apropos of nothing: 1957

Absolutely Stunning
Makes Me Want To Go
-
Thank you DRJOHNG - I have been saving it since DR DOUG R mentioned his destination.
Oh my DR KERRY....even the doggie can't believe the outfit.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I did paint the town last night. ::)
What color?
-
DR Jrand Keith is busy playing The Elder Scrolls vs Skyrim. He was very excited to begin the game & said the reviews have been great.
-
Oh my DR KERRY....even the doggie can't believe the outfit.
It does look that way. ;D
-
Yesterday I received my copy of the book DUELING HARLOWS - DR J TCB if you search on Amazon, you can look inside....I just posted the photo.
It is most entertaining......but there is NOT really enough material there for an entire book....at least as written.
I learned a few new things.....and the recent interviews with Carol Lynley and the AD of her film and the AD of Carroll Baker's film are a lot of fun.
He was not able to interview Carroll Baker, she declined......so a lot of what she thought comes in the form of quotes from her autobiography BABY DOLL......so I was familiar with all of that material.
Of course she has always claimed to be the soul of professionalism - this was contradicted by the AD who was assigned to her. Tim (son of Fred) Zinneman says that she made his life hell....the she was an out of control diva.....and completely manic on the set. I was ready to dismiss his claims as lunatic, when author Tom Lisanti included this single sentence:
"Baker's lateness and absences cost the production $58,113.99."
I guess she wasn't quite as professional as she remembered in her book.
-
I would recommend the book for those interested in the subject - narrow though that interest may be.
-
Page Five Carroll Baker Dance. ;D

I decided that I might feel better if I actually prepared something for dinner, instead of just nuking something I thought I would make a tuna pasta salad. Real tough, huh? I am exhausted, and I am only half way thru making the salad. I had to start by washing all the pots and bowls that I wanted to use. I could only wash them if I was sitting. I think this was a big mistake.
-
it is a beautiful sunny day and the Vixter needs a driving lesson
I thought you were going to stay positive?

It looks lovely. Quaint and lovely.

DR TCB cooking is difficult & exhausting when one is in pain. It used to be one of my passions & now I rarely do it. I wish I could take you some of Craig's jumbili. He made a lot. Normally he doesn't have extra's for me, only little tastes.

THE AMAZING RACE is going to be late tonight.

Thank you, DR TCB!

How was leg room, vixmom? Or did you mention that?
quite comfortable -- and the rows were nearly "stadium seating" so we could easily see the excellent set without the heads if those seated in front of us being in our line of vision

You went in person just to book an appointment. The entire appointment system just doesn't seem right. What if it were serious. Were sick people there waiting without getting an appointment?!? :(
Well she has a regular doctor. But she doesn't work on the weekends.
There is a phone system. But it's very often busy. And i only live 5 minutes away. So it's faster for me to just drive over.
It's a tiny tots clinic.
A tiny tots clinic? How old are these doctors?

It is interesting that I can read the description of a play, and it doesn't make me curious at all.....but when someone here on HHW talks about it.....it becomes much more interesting and real....and maybe even a "hope I can see that someday..." show.
Except of course DR VIXMOM's Little Shop of Horrors.
Oh please do not credit me for that production...

In resonse to all the requests for photos (well I think at least one DR mentioned something about it) here are a few photos of my Bilbao trip. The silver building is, of course, the Guggenheim Museum. The stained glass window is in the railway station.

I decided that I might feel better if I actually prepared something for dinner, instead of just nuking something I thought I would make a tuna pasta salad. Real tough, huh? I am exhausted, and I am only half way thru making the salad. I had to start by washingall the pots and bowls that I wanted to use. I could only wash them if I was sitting. I think this was a big mistake.
Is Hazel off today?
Yep, Mrs. B gave her the day off without telling me.
-
I really want to go to Spain.
Well, I've never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music...
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it;
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it.

I wonder how DR ELMORE is doing down in La Bahamas?
Why is Elmore in the Bahamas? I thought the show was in North Carolina?

Back from Falsettos and dinner. I will admit freely I bailed after act one as did Adryan. I am simply not a fan of the show's director, who works a lot and whose work I always find boring, derivative, and uninteresting, and actually I'm not that big a fan of the March of the Falsettos part of the evening - I find the character of Marvin to be so unlikeable (especially as played in this production) that I just don't see the point of it - I also find Mr. Finn's music and lyrics repetitious and not that interesting, although there are some good numbers. Cast worked hard but wasn't really up to the material - and the director is just very stock and amateur - and uses Mr. Lapine's chairography a little too much for my taste. It also had choreography by some guy who was in Movin' Out on B'way - way too busy, way too fussy, and totally not right for this show.

DR Doug R - thank you for the photos of your visit to Barcelona. My sister's genealogy research has recently revealed to us that we have a first cousin in Spain.
And I meant to tell you that my husband had a similar experience in Reims to the one you described the other day. Our first morning there he left our hotel in search of someplace to get a carry-out breakfast for us and got lost. He was not properly oriented when he left the hotel and he found that the streets change names from block to block. He finally stumbled onto a visitors' center near the cathedral and they gave him a handy dandy map. He made the same comment you did about the city being smaller than he thought.

Typical Sunday - up early, 4 hours of driving, church and coffee hour. The only difference today was that I bought lunch. We've spent the afternoon and evening watching TV and reading the newspapers. Tomorrow we will go shopping for iPhones - I'm buying him one and he's buying me one ;)
-
...and I'm done for the night!

Legroom was fine, seats were very uncomfortable (basically nice folding chairs). This theater is located in the old Roland Dupree Dance Studios - they say it became those studios in the 1980s - I would, of course, beg to differ since I took classes from Mr. Dupree in 1962, when it was called - Roland Dupree Dance Studios. Written about extensively in Kritzer Time.
-
Those are some wonderful photos, Doug! Thanks for sharing. :D

Sometime in the mid-to-late 90s, I saw a production of Falsettos in Seattle that was directed and choreographed by Stephen Terrell, the choreographer of the off-Broadway production of Das Barbecü that was recorded by BK.
-
Oooo, Das Barbecu... there's a title I haven't heard in a LONG time.

I guess you answered my question
I couldn't imagine a 3 hour hour Falsettos unless they began with IN TROUSERS which is the first "Marvin Musical". But it didn't seem that way. How long did the first act last?

It wasn't really three hours - it was about two hours and thirty-five minutes (or so the box-office person said before the show) with intermission.

Gullman was hilarious, though he was curiously lowkey for a lot of his rather long (probably an hour or so) set.
That's great, JMK. I always liked him on "Last Comic Standing."

I'll be very surprised if Gary doesn't end up with a sitcom as he is (as the opening act said to us before the show) "movie star handsome," plus he's like 6'6".
He is very nice to look at. ;)

Good Evening!
Today's concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic (http://www.laphil.com/tickets/performance-detail.cfm?id=4632) was wonderful, beautiful! The concert opened with the Labèque sisters playing Ravel's Rapsodie Espagnole in the arrangement for two pianos. Their playing as always had no technical faults, but I was particularly impressed with the various colors and tones they were able to draw out of the pianos.
Next up was the world premiere of "Battlefield" by the Swiss composer, Richard Dubugnon. It was a concerto for two pianos - it was written for the Labèques - and double orchestra, along with a trumpet soloist and a bass(!) trumpet soloist. Oh, and an electric bass. The composer basically took the concept of a battle somewhat literally, and had one side of the orchestra and one of the pianists and trumpet soloists "battling" against the other set of musicians. There was some incredibly virtuosic writing for the pianists, and the writing for double orchestra provided some cool stereophonic aural effects.
The concert finished up with Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances. -And the players of the LA Phil more than met the demands of the challenging score. And in Walt Disney Concert Hall, the sound was clean and clear with just the right amount of "bloom".
-
And... I actually really liked Bring It On. Is it a great piece of Theatre? No. Is it a very entertaining way to spend two and a half hours? YES! It is a truly FUN show.
It's most definitely not a show for everyone. If you don't like pop/rock scores, you're most definitely not going to like this one. However, the score is very pop-y - in the good sense - and some of the lyrics are quite clever and funny. Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel (of In the Heights fame) wrote the music, and I could definitely hear shades of In the Heights throughout the show. -Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I also got a kick out of how other shows and pop culture icons were referenced throughout, but that was done without a sense of "wink". There was one almost literal reference to A Chorus Line which made me laugh out loud. Alas, the people sitting around me didn't seem to get why I was laughing and why they weren't. ;)
Best of all, I liked how the writers used the original movie of "Bring It On" as a starting point for their very own unique creation. I also appreciated how the show was cast in regards to people of different shapes, sizes, colors and types.
-
In between the LA Phil and Bring It On, I had a somewhat disappointing meal. The restaurant was apparently "recovering" from a party they had last night. Five of the nine beer taps were tapped out. They were out of table bread - all they had left were pita and hamburger buns. One of the signature appetizers was "86'd" along with three of the signature entrees - and it's relatively modest menu. My hamburger came out underdone. I had ordered it "medium", and it came out nicely charred, but still very red and cool inside. And then when the kitchen sent out a replacement one, half of it was cooked to medium, while the other half was practically well done. Thankfully, the bartender took a few things off my tab. But other tables were having issues with their food and service too. Each time I saw a waiter bring a check up to the register, he either had to comp some of the meal or give them a discount.
*I had walked in just a couple of minutes after they had opened for dinner service. Apparently, they were fully booked later in the evening. I wished the bartender well on my way out.
-

I never got through the show. In person. Nor on CD.

Then again, I believe Polly Pen is somewhat of an acquired taste.

Don't tell BK, this is probably sacrilege, but I think I am going to dice some dill pickles into my salad.
DR TCB - I LOVE pickles/pickle relish in my tuna salad.

DR Jane - My friend who accompanied me to the concert earlier today gave me a custom assortment of See's. Just thought you'd like to know that. ;)
