Well, Theater Artists Olympia (http://www.olytheater.com/) has the final poster art for the "One Heist Told Twice..." production of "Reservoir Dogs"!  Here it is:

If you know the movie, the colors on the poster represent the character's names.  The show has been double cast so there's an all-male cast (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/342845) and an all-female cast (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/342871), who'll perform on alternate nights. :D

We saw HANDS ON A HARDBODY this weekend, my first venture to going to see a Broadway show after a very challenging (at least for me) winter health-wise which some of you reading here know about but I won't go into too much detail about online. 

I'm a fan of literally the entire creative team - Amanda Green, Doug Wright, Trey Anastasio (he of great wonderful Phish fame to followers of pop music), director Neil Pepe, choreographer Sergio Trujillo - so i expected to be delighted by the craft.  But even Charles Isherwood's excellent review of the La Jolla production had not prepared me for the show to be an emotional experience.  i guess i should have known Doug Wright would not do a lightweight show, but he had done Little Mermaid, and after all, i always think of Amanda Green as laugh-out-loud funny.  So even having taken in the reviews, the emotional strength of the show was surprising and quite thrilling.

I gather the show has been controversial on chat areas, but the reviews from la Jolla were great as far as I can tell.  go figure..

Having said that, I think the TV commercial does not fully prepare you for what the show is.

I don;t understand how TV ad research works, though.

Good morning, all!

The neighbor above me did not arrive home until around 6:00am. Still, he's not as bad as the shithead realtor with the drug problems of several years ago. My gain there is Toronto's loss, since his Facebook page says he's back in his hometown.

Today is the orchestra reading of the SUPERMAN score for Encores! and we'll see how many wrong notes I missed in my proofreadng. Yesterday was Joshie's birthday, so I have a gift for him, and I look forward to seeing several friends.

DR Matthew, I know of only one recording in English of MADAME BUTTERFLY, and it's this one. Is this the one you purchased? I don't know if I have this since it would be at the office, but I have quite a few of this Opera In English series from Chandos. Some of them are quite good. I've been buying them to hear singers from the UK singing English.

Good morning, all.

Thanks for the update on Hands on a Hardbody, FJL. I'm really interested in the show. I had loved the documentary and a fictional remake was supposed to have been the film that Robert Altman made after A Prairie Home Companion. I was interested in reading that the musical actually keeps the characters from the movie. And Amanda is Adolph's daughter, so her progress as a lyricist has been interesting to chart.

Thanks, DR JohnG.  I have actually seen Madam Butterfly a long time ago. In fact, it was my first opera I ever saw.  Someone suggested I listen to it again as I'm working on Miss Saigon at the moment to try and hear musical similarities that have made it into the musical.  I thought English was the best way to do that.

Yes, Angie's list responded to one of my posts.   Haven't got any notice that Anderson has.   I responded to the response and asked if there was any timeline set up for getting the work done and that it would help if there was one because it's hard to keep the faith when someone comes and does something and then long periods of time go by with nothing happening.

Sounds like the plumber is donating all his services.  That's a great start.

Quote
What is a follow option and how do you know if it is off? And how did she discover it?

I guess she looked at it, which is good because someone following her is a creepy guy on the West Los Angeles group that a number of women I know have had to block.

Click on your friends. When the page opens, at the top left you will see your name & to the right of that the friends box with the down arrow next to it. Click on the arrow. The 6th option down is "following". Click on that & you can see who has the option to follow people.  I think if you have the "follow" option turned on, which I don't, you can also see who is following you as in watching what you always have to say.  The scary thing was that my friend had a few names listed that she wasn't friends with, including this creep whom she has now blocked.

From Facebook regarding "following":

How do I follow someone?

Click Follow on the timeline of the person you want to see updates from.

You'll only see the option to follow someone who allows people to follow them.

If you send someone a friend request and they have this feature turned on, you'll automatically follow their updates.

I have probably never seen most of EASTER PARADE.  Some clips, certainly.  I did get the 2-disc DVD set a few years back, but haven't watched it.  I'm sure I'll end up with the Blu-ray, but it's not high on my list.  What was high on my list was THE MASTER (sorry, DR Jane!) which I just picked up at Costco, and which I will very likely be unable to resist watching tonight...and I fully expect it to take a few viewings to "get".  But I really like Paul Thomas Anderson's work, and I trust it to jell for me eventually.  If not sooner.  Some people do like it fine on first viewing.

It was a wonderful rehearsaland the charts for SUPERMAN are both a lot of fun and a bit of mystery: what drugs was Eddie Sauter on when he was writing the Exit Music?  Rob Berman's artistry on the podium is amazing, and after break we all sang Happy Birthday to Joshie.

I arrived home from the orchestra reading to find that my record producer had sent me four takes of a reprise from the Act Two DEAREST ENEMY Finale.   All I can say is that I was dumped on by a conductor I trusted, and in my frustration I let the singer down. I hope we can use three of the takes to cut and paste something I can live with since the problems were caused by a conductor who was unwilling to do anything I requested about the number. Both the singer and I were hung out to dry here and I am far from amused.

So, DR Matthew, you never told us if that was the MADAME BUTTERFLY recording!

Click Follow on the timeline of the person you want to see updates from.

You'll only see the option to follow someone who allows people to follow them.

If you send someone a friend request and they have this feature turned on, you'll automatically follow their updates.

I would think it would be pretty rare for people to have the following option on. I did what you wrote in the other message. And see that I follow 4 people/2 are authors who had this is a method of following them.

I just checked under account settings. There is something called "followers" which i do not have checked off.

Hi all!  Listening to AC to see if he says anything on the show.  I saw the post on AL as well.  Interesting.  The guy came out to mark where it would be safe for them to start on the place for the W/D last month.   One would think that means they would be starting in days.  Well, that call was for nothing because everything he marked is long gone with the first rain and no one except me saw it.

As for offering to do the plumbing --that's wonderful--but you gotta build the building or do the work in the kitchen before you can do that and at the rate it's moving, that might be 2 or 3 years down the road.

That seems to be the pattern.  They come out mark and or measure the kitchen (4 times and counting--I think my kitchen keeps changing size) or the yard or whatever and that's it.  When comes to DOING something it just doesn't happen.

Now I'm confused.  I don't understand how you can follow anyone without leaving it open for other people to follow you.  Facebook can be so confusing.  Following authors seems to me the same as my "liking" their FB page.

Following and liking is basically the same thing. But some pages have it set up that you like their page and some have it set up that you follow them. Don't know why people would do it one way or the other.

We are people not pages, so for the most part I can't see that most people would have the following option open. There is one person I follow who is an author (but not very well known). She has her page set up to allow friends. But also people can follow her. She she isn't my personal friend, i chose to follow her (if that makes sense).

Don't really understand the whole thing. Probably people who have a lot of friends might want to consider allowing people to follow them.

A continuation of a thread from last week or so. I got this press release in an email today:

"Hi John,


As you may know, National American Chocolate Week is the third week in March (March 18 – 23)."


Did it tell you that to celebrate you should send chocolate to everyone you know (living on Long Island)?

  I wouldn't worry about it Jane.  I'm just tired of the whole thing.  It all boils down to you you either do what you say or not.  I don't think they are going to anything.

Like I said, I asked point blank about the kitchen and was told it didn't look good and then last week I was told that because of the septic tank, that project didn't look good either but maybe I could get the money for the W/D and that money could go towards the kitchen.  That tells me they are not going to do the W/D shed. 

I offer to buy you a car and a year later I tell you, give me money towards it and I'll help you get it, what do you need me for?  And if I get it for you, you may not get the color or the model that you want.   Eh.

I didn't know about the 2nd sink hole.  Linda, the lady who lives around the block from me, went to look at the one at the house.  She said they measured the distance and it was only a mile and a half away.  And that was going the long way round. 

I worry for the dogs if one opened in the yard while I'm at work.

I got the distance on the new one from google maps.  It too went the long way.

If one did begin in your yard hopefully the dogs would sense it and run into the house.

I double checked my account settings also has "followers" turned off.  I didn't realize it was set in different locations. 

I guess I don't follow anyone cuz I don't even see the option to know who I might follow-lol.

I have two authors, one who rarely says anything which is fine.  The other is a funny guy and has talked to me on facebook when I commented on his cute Bernese Mountain Dog.  David Rosenfelt is the author and he has 25 rescue dogs.  I plan to read his book, when it come out, on the cross country move he & his wife made with all those dogs.  It has got to be a hoot.

If you know the movie, the colors on the poster represent the character's names.  The show has been double cast so there's an all-male cast (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/342845) and an all-female cast (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/342871), who'll perform on alternate nights. :D

The Brain from Planet X opens in a couple of weeks outside of NY at Cassadega High School.  I wrote the teacher who's directing wishing he and his kids all the best.  He said they've been having a blast.

Tonight I had a special treat. I finally got to see ELAINE PAIGE in concert. I knew about her growing up in Canada seeing her on BBC. But when I spoke to friends down in the USA no one knew who I was talking about. Well it only took about 30 years but mission accomplish. I also had a brief chat with her after the show.

Didn't get a chance to chat with DR ArnoldBrockman this time around. There was no interval and he up and out of theater. But we did manage a wave.


That's so cool!  I have the DVD of her live concert, Celebrating 40 Years On Stage (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elaine-Paige-Celebrating-Years-Stage/dp/B00359LVHO/ref=sr_1_2?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1362462747&sr=1-2)...and it's autographed!  I just checked and I got it exactly two years ago this past weekend!  What a coinkydink.  I'm watching it right now. :D

Good morning, all!

The neighbor above me did not arrive home until around 6:00am. Still, he's not as bad as the shithead realtor with the drug problems of several years ago. My gain there is Toronto's loss, since his Facebook page says he's back in his hometown.

Today is the orchestra reading of the SUPERMAN score for Encores! and we'll see how many wrong notes I missed in my proofreadng. Yesterday was Joshie's birthday, so I have a gift for him, and I look forward to seeing several friends.

DR Matthew, I know of only one recording in English of MADAME BUTTERFLY, and it's this one. Is this the one you purchased? I don't know if I have this since it would be at the office, but I have quite a few of this Opera In English series from Chandos. Some of them are quite good. I've been buying them to hear singers from the UK singing English.

Dreadful cover, though!  I look more Japanese than this broad!

This is the one.  The only one on iTunes.  I haven't begun listening to it yet.  I'm kinda excited :)
