Well, you've read the notes, the notes basked in the glory of last evening, and now it is time for you to post until the basking cows come home.

And the word of the day is: COMPEER!

About to announce three titles right here. Stay tuned.

Here's the Blu-ray and CD for Junior High School:
Kritzerland is proud to present two new releases – our second Blu-ray release and the soundtrack CD for the award-winning classic short musical film
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Junior High School was born out of a love of musicals. Its creators loved the form, embraced the form, and raised enough money to make a short musical film that is utterly charming and a complete delight from start to finish. David Wechter and Michael Nankin had already directed a critically acclaimed short film called Gravity, which had gotten them noticed. Two years later, just out of college, they joined some other friends, to make another audacious short film – a real musical about a fictional junior high school. This was, of course, long before High School Musical and Glee. In 1978 there was no middle school; there was elementary school, junior high, and high school. The times they were a’changing – the late 1970s and early 1980s were the end of a certain kind of era, and Junior High School reflects that beautifully. There is a sweetness and innocence to the film that’s palpable, even if it includes the classic song, “The Itty-Bitty Titty Committee.”
Made for under $35,000 (the filmmakers raised the money and received a grant from the American Film Institute), the film was shot in one month at John Muir Junior High School in Burbank, California. It was a family affair, with many relatives and friends appearing in the film and working behind the scenes. Kids from all over LA auditioned, and the chosen cast is just so real and perfect, you can’t imagine it being better, although only one of the actors went on to have a significant career – PAULA ABDUL.
The film is beautifully directed and shot (in 16mm), and David Wechter’s tuneful and clever songs are delightful, as is the script. David’s father, the great Julius Wechter, arranged the songs and wrote an original score. Julius, of course, was the leader of the popular Baja Marimba Band. He assembled some amazing players for the soundtrack recording, including several of the infamous Wrecking Crew. They include such luminaries as Bernie Fleischer, Bobby Findley (of the Tijuana Brass), Lou McCreary, Tommy Tedesco, Dave Frishberg (who also appears and sings in the film), Steve Schaefer, and the engineer was the great Larry Levine (pioneer of Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound”).
Junior High School won awards in dozens of film festivals and was an immediate sensation, so much so that critic Roger Ebert said, “I think it’s probably impossible not to be charmed out of your socks by Junior High School.” As a direct result of the audience and critical response to the film, Wechter and Nankin were hired by Walt Disney Studios to make a feature – at the ripe old age of twenty-three. That film, Midnight Madness, while not a hit, developed a major cult following that continues to this day.
The Blu-ray has a commentary track, and two retrospective featurettes, Junior High School Reunion and Return to Junior High School as well as Wechter and Nankin’s other short film, Gravity. The CD release has several bonus tracks, including demos from Midnight Madness, Malibu Bikini Shop, and the never made feature version of Junior High School, which was being developed by United Artists.
The CD of Junior High School is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $19.98, plus shipping. The Blu-ray is $19.98, plus shipping. CD and Blu-ray will ship the first week of September, however, never fear, we usually get in copies one to five weeks in advance of the official ship date (we’ve been averaging four weeks).

And here's the Baja Marimbas:
Kritzerland is proud to present a new, limited edition CD
LAZY DAYS JULIUS WECHTER AND THE BAJA MARIMBAS
Julius Wechter and the Baja Marimba band were one of A&M Records’ most popular artists. Their records were fun, tuneful, and unique and a perfect compliment to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. At the end of the 1980s, Julius assembled some amazing musicians and created the Baja Marimbas – basically to just have fun and to keep the music alive. This recording, originally done on the Bay Cities label and titled New Deal, was their one and only album. It has been out of print for almost two decades and we are thrilled to make it available once again to Baja fans everywhere.
It has been remastered with tender loving care and sounds better than ever. We’ve also included with a few great bonus tracks making their CD debut. This Baja Marimbas is leaner than the Baja Marimba Band, but it is no less wonderful – the music is infectious and amazing, with great players doing both standards and originals. Hear such great tunes as “We’re Off to See the Wizard,” “But Not for Me,” “Lazy Days,” “Pavanne,” “Baja Noce,” and others. Bonus tracks include, “Nine on a Match,” “Green Bird,” “Alone Again, Naturally,” the theme from “Deep Throat,” and a commercial for the Santa Anita Race track.
Lazy Days is like a trip back in time to an era when music could just be fun – fun, beautifully performed, and with melodies you can actually hum and tunes you can actually tap your feet to.
Lazy Days is limited to 1000 copies only and is priced at $17.98, plus shipping.
Also be sure to check out Julius Wechter’s great work (both score and arrangements) on his son David Wechter’s (with Michael Nankin) award-winning short film, Junior High School, which has a new Blu-ray and CD release right here at Kritzerland.
CD will ship the first week of September, however, never fear, we usually get in copies one to five weeks in advance of the official ship date (we’ve been averaging four weeks).

All three items are now live on the Kritzerland sits, so if you want 'em you know what to do.
-
A Very Happy Birthday to DR td!! ;D
-
And a Very Happy Birthday to (former) DR brian!! ;D
-
DVD and two CDs have been ordered! I'm very muchly enjoying the sample tracks of the marimbas CD. I'll check out the JHS CD afterwards. :)
-
Finally think I've announced this everywhere - complicated with three releases.
-
BK, Congrats on the success with the latest KRITZERLAND AT STERLING!!
On to the 2nd Anniversary!
-
And now...to bed.
Good night.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
It was terribly hot all weekend. It began to rain around 7:45pm. It's cooler now though it's still scheduled to get up to 88 today.
-
Back to the office and the joy of meat locker AC
-
Not much else to report.
We are watching a mediocre Britcom called My Family. It ran from 2000 to 2011 with Christmas episodes starting in 2002. I don't know that we will watch all the episodes. It's run on Channel 21 and Anthony's mother is recording it for us. There are 120 episodes. We're only watching it because it stars Zoe Wanamaker and Robert Lindsay, two great talents wasted in this hit and miss piece of fluff full of bad writing and absurd plots.
That being said, apparently it was a big hit in England, having run for so long and producing 120 episodes.
-
On that note, I'm off to finish the oatmeal and coffee.
-
'Morning all!
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, DR td!
We have landed on Mars again! YAY~ Can't wait to see the photos!
Congrats, BK on the 3 releases!
Gotta scoot--late again!!!1
-
Good morning, all! I slept quite well last night, I think the rain cooled things down enough to make it quite pleasant.
Today, I am out and about for a bit: pharmacy, barber, Toyland, and I hope the day goes well. I also hope I will return and find the elevator running.
DR Ben, when I was recording in London in 2001 and 2002, I saw quite a few episodes of MY FAMILY. I like Wanamaker and Lindsay a lot, but I never felt it was a very good sitcom. I really liked him on ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, looking a bit like Dudley Moore these dats. But I've never understood the success of the dreadful VICAR OF DIBLEY either!
Good news about the show, BK!
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good Beginning-of-the-Week Vibes to one and all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Happy happy happy birthday to dear TD!!!!!!

Wonderful news about the show last night, BK, and what an exciting crowd you had at the show,
and also lovely news about the email you got from Mr. Sondheim as well.

I own the out of print version and it is a lot of fun to listen to. It's the only genre of music that I own.
I recommend to anyone who hasn't heard that kind of music

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm at JFK.
-
!!PAGE TWO!!
-
Travel vibes to Jose!
-
Good morning, all.
I believe a train ran over me, but I'm up, and soaking my head in the coffee.
-
In a few hours, I will be flying off to SFO, and then carpooling it down to San Jose with some of my "team mates", and then we have a Company BBQ in Palo Alto tonight to kick-off this year's TheatreWorks Festival of New Works.
-
And now that I have access to functioning wifi, as well as not having to run around getting pre-trip stuff done, attending a concert and running through the score with the composer, etc., etc... I shall catch up until my boarding time. -Which is apparently delayed for about 20 minutes.
Laters...
-
What a wonderful report about last night's Kritzerland. And even more wonderful news about the email from BK's close personal friend. How can you do better than that on a Sunday?
Killing me that we can't see/hear the shows from all the way over here.
-
Blu-ray and CDs ordered!
-
Good morning!
-
Happy Birthday to TD!
-
And now that I'm caught up, let's see what I remember...
-
Congratulations on a greeat show, Bruce!
-
Travel vibes to DR Jose - wave when you fly over Ohio!
-
Happy Birthday to dear TD!!!
-
TOD: Favorite Fried Food: Fried food. Any fried food.
-
DR vixmom - You and your vixfamily will be fine when you travel next week. The big thing to check is which Terminal at LGA you will be flying out of. With the various takeovers and consolidations of airlines over the past few years, some of the airlines now depart from two terminals at LGA.
Otherwise, just get there early enough to leave yourself enough time to breathe after you get through the TSA screening. And LGA has recently upgraded their food and dining options and some of them are pretty good.
-
bk - Congrats on another great show!
-
Happy Birthday, DR td!!!!!
-
DR elmore - ~~~~~SPEEDY A/C AND ELEVATOR RESTORATION VIBES TO YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS~~~~~

Monday morning greetings! Haven't been outside yet, but it looks like it might be less humid. Will we really be able to open the windows?
-
Oh...
I thoroughly enjoyed the "repeat" of the Mostly Mozart concert the other night. Alas, it also turned out to be "Weird, Cranky Audience Member Night" at Avery Fisher Hall too. But at least they were sort of entertaining to observe.
-
Good morning, all.
Happy, happy birthday, DR td!
Travel vibes for Jose and Matthew and all else moving about today.
Congrats, BK, on both the email and the successful show.
-
Happiest of birthdays to DR td!
-
TOD: I agree with Kerry about any fried food, from fried artichokes to fried butter. But over the weekend, I fried up crab and avocado cakes, which are at the top of my list today. I had never made crab cakes before and these were great
-
And yesterday afternoon, I attended another Mostly Mozart concert featuring the International Contemporary Ensemble - or ICE (http://www.iceorg.org) for short.
One of the themes for this year's MM is "bird song", and ICE's program featured various compositions that featured birdsong in them - both literal and figurative. It was a great concert, and one of the compositions utilized the hall's excellent sound system for some very effective aural and digitally-processed effects.
-
Thanks for all the Travel Vibes!
-
And I hope DR Matthew had an uneventful flight to Munich. -Or is having one.
-
As for yesterday's rain in NYC...
Well... Since I had left my umbrella at home, I, of course, ended up getting caught in both of the downpours. Thankfully, I was not too far from my destinations when the big ole rain drops started falling.
-
T.O.D.
Snickers

Perhaps if Steve would post his comments about FOLLIES to one of his worship sites, you could easily sell out a second pressing of the CD.
-

Umm.... I love me some deep-friend candy bars and Twinkies! -However, I'm not a big fan of the deep-fried Oreos. Top Chef: Desserts alumnus, makes a deep-fried Whoopie Pie... Sooooo good!
-
TOD
French fries, fried very dark and crispy.
Onion Rings.

And we're supposed to start boarding in about 20 minutes...
And I need to make a few phone calls before doing so...
So...

NASA Engineers Celebrate Mars Landing By "Coming Out."

-
Good morning all. Not much planned here today; we put up FIFTY QUARTS of pickled beets yesterday in a twelve hour period. Then I streamed the Curiosity landing.
I shall probably celebrate by watching Marilyn Monroe on blu and ray. BK and I seem to agree emphatically on the transfers...
Thanks for keeping the celebration going.
-
TD is about to have round milestone post 8888 on his birthday
-
Happy Birthday DR td.
-
It is summer time - and the money is NOT easy. Gasoline at nearly $4 per gallon means I am paying about $12 to do theatre....and when I do theatre, I don't work as many hours as I usually do.....8 hours per week, sometimes 4 hours....instead of the usual 16 hours.
Which is just a way of saying, I only afford ONE of the Kritzerland releases today. So I purchased the Baja Marimba CD!!!
-
Tonight is a dress rehearsal of THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE.....in which I have more costume changes than lines.....and tomorrow night is another Dress Rehearsal of TMM.
I am excused from SEE HOW THEY RUN for those two nights, but I do not know what I will be missing - because we don't have a rehearsal schedule yet.
-
Good news about the Show last night.
Keep cool vibes for DR GEORGE.
Nice email from Mr Sondheim.
I may have some more TMM pictures tomorrow, maybe not until Wednesday....we shall see. I am not going to put on my policeman's uniform until AFTER the newspaper photographer leaves.
-
TOD:
I try to avoid most fried foods these days, but I do (occasionally) order a side of French fries.
-
I enjoyed watching the THIS IS YOUR LIFE with Alexis Smith from the link last night - was that the theatre orchestra playing those cues? That must have been a golden hours bonanza for them. Did the audience stay to watch....AFTER a performance?
Ralph Edwards never changes - he is not pleasant to watch.
-
T.O.D.
Snickers
Twinkies
(Just kidding!}
I loves me some fried Oreos. (No kidding.)
Just saw your post, Jose. Deep-fried whoopie pies are great, too. I think you'd like the deep-fried Oreos here, made with panko breadcrumbs and topped with a mint drizzle.
-

That's an amazing show.
I was wondering about that, too, plus the logistics in general. Television equipment being what it was in those days, surely the cast and crew of the show knew that something of the sort was happening...no? And I always wondered if the honored person was always as totally in the dark as was let on. Quite possibly all of this really worked as a surprise back then. There's no doubt my cynicism arises from today's "reality" shows.
-
A happy birthday to DR td, who(m) I do not know!
-
DR CHAS SMITH - I think as Mr Edwards mentioned in a January, 1958, episode.....one of the very few "honorees" who was told in advance about the show was Miss Frances Farmer.
He was worried that she might get violent with him if he tried to surprise her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de00c3ggHLw
-
Jrand - is the rule that everybody else in the room is told except the honoree?
-
As Miss whitney Houston sang "I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things"
or at least I always assume you do

A very happy birthday to DR TD!! Have a great day!

Greetings from Toyland!
My hair is cut, but the social security situation will continue until I am back from Dublin. My accountant has taken the week off.
I am waiting for a visitor named Drew, who wants to be an orchestrator. Silly boy! There are no longer orchestras on Broadway.

Congratulations to BK on last night's show! In celebration I will listen to the Burt Bacharach recording on my iPod while exercising today.
-
Good Morning, again!
Greetings from Virgin America Flight 23!
We're currently cruising at 38,000 feet and we're about to fly over Pittsburgh. Hi, DR td!
-
Jrand - is the rule that everybody else in the room is told except the honoree?
I think so....at least the participants.....in a group setting like Alexis was in.....I guess everyone was afraid it was them.....I love Dorothy Collins saying...."Oh, no!!!"
And of course in the Frances Farmer episode the look she gives Ralph when he mentions her first husband Leif Ericson....like she was afraid he was going to bring Leif in......
-
High Over Pittsburgh is the name of the opening number in the second act of my new musical.
-
I just finished the book that MR BK has been talking about - musings from the dancers of WEST SIDE STORY. Mr Harvey Evans mentioned it in his interview......
I ahve to agree with MR BK - there is a great book in the subject.....somewhere.....but it's not here, I don't think. Interesting....but not worth the small effort it took to get it together.
-
And now we're flying over Ohio...
Hi, DR Ginny!
-
I shall go outside and await your flyover.
-
Fascinating Frances Farmer "This is Your Life" episode, DR JRand61.
-
Not to mention,
PAGE 4.
-
Yes it is DR CHAS SMITH....... When she goes "off script" she really gets to the heart of some matters......
"I really don't think it helped me much!"

Hello, Indy!
Hello, DR JRand!!!

Hi, DR Jose! Are they telling you what you're flying over?
-
Hi, DR Jose! Are they telling you what you're flying over?

I'm up, I'm up. It took quite a while to fall asleep - I was, I think, what the wags call wired.
-
Ah, thanks, DR Jose!
On the Olympics front, this morning I've finally seen men's water polo and women's synchronized swimming.

Good thing Edwards waited to do this until the show came to L.A.--no one would have stayed in the theatre district in NYC past 11:00 in 1971.

I love Klea Blackhurst! This is a great review.
-
And... I've napped.
-
I am home, to learn there has been jack done on the elevator today. I just got off the phone after leaving a rather unpleasant message for my rental agent. This morning I had to help my 74 year-old neighbor down the three flights; I carried his shopping cart/walker for him. It's not easy for him to get about. It's ridiculous.

Look what I just got (http://www.ebay.com/itm/290732875593?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649)! I've got a lot of playing around to do but hopefully I can get the hang of it very quickly. :D

So far, I've been able to get to the Internet (free wi-fi at work...love that!) and listen to a Kritzerland mp3 sample, but YouTube doesn't work, yet. :P I have to figure out what I need to install.

What I'm really hoping more than anything is that it just doesn't end up being a big giant pile of crap.

I am home, to learn there has been jack done on the elevator today. I just got off the phone after leaving a rather unpleasant message for my rental agent. This morning I had to help my 74 year-pld neighbor down the three flights; I carried his shopping cart/walker for him. It's not easy for him to get about. It's ridiculous.
That really sucks for the older people on the upper floors. I wonder if this verges on violating any city regulations. Have you thought about calling 311 to see if this can be made a little more urgent?

DR Jennifer,
I have an electric bike and a regular bike. The electric bike is very heavy but does have an electric option. It's great for the huge hills I deal with in literally every direction from my house (I'm about 3/4 the way up a huge hill) No matter what direction I go, there is a big hill either leaving or coming back home. However it's extremely heavy, which would be a pain to put it in and out of the car to go to the rides, some are 30-60 miles from here, and you can't ride it in the rain. So, it's perfect for around the neighborhood kind of rides like I"ve done the past couple days, but for a longer ride, I'd take my regular bike.
Even the electric bike is essentially pedal assist. So I have to pedal up the hills, it's just a heck of a lot easier. I get tired even riding the electric bike, lol. I really need to build up my stamina.
-
Yeah George!!! A new lap top. That's always fun.

Happy Birthday to td!!!

Travel vibes to all who are traveling even if they're already there

Levatation vibes to DR Elmore and his neighbors.

If not levitation then elevator repair vibes

I am about to dance in the street! As soon as Edith gets done addressing the envelope and I get to the post office, our last major project that was delayed due to my accident will be in the mail and out of the office. Nothing was late and no one's case was hurt in any way. It was a pain in the butt to catch up, but we have. Lots of work and lots of cases still to work on, but that cloud and the stress of knowing these things were out there is gone. Tra la tra la!!!

It's always nice to have lots of work to do

Thanks John G, It's been 3 weeks today. I'm pretty much on schedule recovery wise

Every time i get involved with the Library of Congress on a concert, it turns out to be hell. Today, something so simple has become another megillah with too many cooks in the kitchen.
Maybe I'm crabby from the heat, AC and elevator? Perhaps.
I doubt it.

Thanks, Cillaliz! Granted, it's not a true "laptop," but it certainly will be used like one.

I went down to the market, and I see that someone has crossed out Monday on the elevator signs. "Out of order until Tuesday" they now say.

Has anyone here seen the Amazon Lockers? They're being set up in a number of stores, such as 7-Elevens, so you can have your packages sent there instead of to your home or office. You then pick them up at your convenience.

I liked ALBERT NOBBS better than DR JOHN G did. A delight to see Pauline Collins, who I always enjoy; I didn't know she was in this. I thought Janet McTeer was wonderful. Not a great film, but worth seeing, I thought.
-
DR Ginny recently mentioned 1940's HOUSE. I loved it. I really enjoy the PBS time-travel shows.
-
SO, today my mother went to their house in my home town to get some things..then left and went to the lake (15 miles away) She got ready to make dinner and thought "OMG I lift the meat on the steps at home" So, she called her neighbors (a couple in their 80s) and they went to the house. First the key didn't work, then they somehow got past that and they didn't get the code in the security system soon enough.
So there they were. This quiet couple, seriously typical Garrison Keillor type Lutherans. The system is blaring. They didn't know the magic word when the security called so the police came. They called my brother who still can't drive after his bypass, so he said he couldn't help them....finally the security company reached my parents...neither one of them could remember what their secret word was. I'm not sure how, but somehow it was finally all resolved.
Where was the meat that started all this? In the refrigerator. Mom had never taken it out. LOL.
-
Wonderful news about the show last night, BK, and what an exciting crowd you had at the show,
and also lovely news about the email you got from Mr. Sondheim as well.
Ditto from me. Great news that the show went well.
And great news that Sondheim liked the cd.

DR CHAS SMITH - I think as Mr Edwards mentioned in a January, 1958, episode.....one of the very few "honorees" who was told in advance about the show was Miss Frances Farmer.
He was worried that she might get violent with him if he tried to surprise her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de00c3ggHLw
And yet, Miss Farmer seems more out of it than many others who were actually surprised. That is what happens after you visit Western State Hospital.

No DVD for JHS - just an extra expense we didn't need for what would never be enough return. Can everyone please help spread the word about JHS and the Bajas?

Yeah, I really like it though. It's just not a road bike in any way shape or form
-
I should say it works well on the roads around town, but I wouldn't ride it farther. I've heard of people who ride it 8-12 miles at a time. So, maybe when I get more used to it I'll venture out farther

I am sitting here outraged about DR Elmores elevator and AC situation. If I could, I would call someone in NY and complain myself. Not just for DR Elmore but the elderly people in the building as well.
This is just going on and on. Something needs to be done!

It didn't seem like YA to me, either. But I loved it. It moved me to tears several times, although that could be my mother's history, which played a big part of what I brought to the reading. Her grandparents on her mother's side died in concentration camps for trying to help Jews escape on the trains, for which my great-grandfather worked.

I love Orson Welles at his wittiest. I have become a Negroni addict, but I never researched the history until now. Wikipedia, that most reliable of sources, offers the following tidbit:
One of the earliest reports of the drink came from Orson Welles in correspondence with the Coshocton Tribune while working in Rome on Cagliostro in 1947, where he described a new drink called the Negroni, "The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you. They balance each other."

It didn't tell me to charge the battery. It said to install the battery - I did. It said to plug it into the wall - I did. It said to trun on the power switch and follow the onscreen instructions - It doesn't. I will try to charge it, but I wished it had told me that.

Mine didn't say to charge the battery, either. However, it shows the battery level on the main screen, so I could tell that it needed to be charged. I don't know how long it takes to fully charge and I'll have to wait to find out how long the battery actually lasts.

So many threads hanging on THE CLOSER at the moment, and I will be in Dublin for the ending! I'm already projecting horrible endings for those in the cast not going on to MAJOR CRIMES, and I admit my curiosoty is killing me. I really liked tonight's episode. I guess the leak (sorta!) several months ago.

I finished The Book Thief Saturday night. I thought it was a very different but good book. It didn't really seem YA to me
I haven't read it. It doesn't sound like a YA topic. But I guess since the narrator is under 20 (I'm assuming) that is why it is considered YA.
There are many different levels of YA. There are some books that are definitely geared towards younger readers. But there is a ton now that is much more complex (especially dystopia). But it all comes under the YA general category.

I was thinking TIGHT-ASS ANDRONICUS would be a hi-larious parody title, but google says it's been done - like hundreds of times.
What about Tight-Ass Androgynous??
;)
Excellent!!!!!!

TOD - without a doubt - Skip's fried chicken
For any HHWer who has not had the extreme luck and privilege to have been hosted by dear FJL and his everlovin' Skip - Skip is a spectacular chef and his fried chicken is simply the best I have ever had the pleasure of eating

Looks like I'm going to go to New York in December to see Drood.
That's great! Some of the DR's happen to live in New York, maybe we'll get to see you. :)

Actually what I'm finding is there are decent deals if you don't stay Friday and Saturday night. I'm thinking 3 nights. I realize weeknights aren't that easy for a get together, but it may save me literally hundreds of dollars

Hmmm just heard that blue berries are thriving during the drought. Who knew?

Truth be told, I've always wanted to see New York City all dressed up for Christmas.

Finished with my viewing and really hungry, actually. Never had time to jog today, but have only eaten a turkey sandwich and no fries or onion rings, some carrots, a couple of seventy calorie cheese wedges and an apple. I think I'm a little too under 1000 calories, but the thing is, what will satisfy my hunger and only be a couple hundred calories. I could go get a six-inch Subway sandwich - that's only about 300 calories if you get the right thing.

Thank you all for thinking of me on my natal day.
And, it's been a long, been a long, been a long day.
Goodnight.

Just spent the evening lazing about, watching some Olympics, followed by William Castle's I SAW WHAT YOU DID (1965) and INVADERS FROM MARS (1953). I had seen the former when it was released but remembered almost nothing of it, and I'm not sure I'd ever seen the latter at all.

Weather bliss: Windows are open, the temperature is perfect, and there's even a slight breeze. :)

DR Cillaliz - Hotel rates in NYC during the holidays are... well... Not cheap.
I'd start by checking out sites like Booking.com, Roomkey.com, Hotels.com, etc., and seeing what kind of deals come up there. -And then go directly to a couple of hotel websites and see if those rates can be matched or beaten. Otherwise, book as early as you can.
-
DR Cillaliz - Good story. :)
-
And since I've now been up for almost 20 hours...
And since I starts rehearsals in the morning...
Goodnight.

If you go to my Facebook page you can hear Daisy Eagan's performance from last night - you can even catch a glimpse of yours truly introducing her.

Welcome eight GUESTS. From sixty-five to eight in ten seconds - I never understand how this works.
