Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the new running shoes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently breaking in their new running MOOS.

BARNUM tech week.  And it's a commute, so I will be popping up here only in the morning and late at night over the next few days.

Can't wait to see what it looks like.  (Said both hopefully and cynically.)  Last I saw of it two weeks ago, Mr. Barnum didn't know his lines.

It's a high school gig for which I'm the hired pianist, so tech week only is typical.  As this is BARNUM, if they'd been staging the musicians and/or the pianos. it would have been a different matter.

Good morning, all! I slept well, but later than I wished

This morning, I have to deal with the passport photos. This city is ever-changing and both places that took my last two sets of photos are no longer around. I will Google a bit, find a place on the Upper West Side, finish this task and post the expiring passport, along with form, fees, and photos.

After that, I need to hit the NYPL and do some research.

But the Majestic in San Antonio has been turned into a legit house and it's beautiful. Here are a few pictures.

It seats 2,311, according to the website. It was built in 1929. Has great acoustics, especially in the balcony, so it's fun to see the symphony there.

The most opulent theater in downtown Seattle was the Orpheum.

It was torn down long ago and an ugly hotel now stands on that spot.

Perhaps my favorite theater was our neighborhood Roycroft, located on 19th at Roy. 

A Russian community center now occupies that space.

Watched SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK last night.

The actors were sensational, but except for their performances, I sort of tuned out of the movie itself after the first half hour.

Maybe it was just me, but the story seemed "cluttered"; the action "forced".

I am not usually a klutz. But I just opened a door and then it closed back and hit me in the face. And now the side of my face is all red. And the side of my cheek/eye are sore. :(

I iced it. But it still hurts. :(

TOD

While my childhood theaters were all nice places, and I loved them dearly, none were the kind you'd call opulent.  I was taken to a few opulent ones (such as the Ohio or the Palace in downtown Columbus) as a child, but my memories of those times are about as scant as memories get.  My opulent theater period would come later in Hollywood where I could, at a moment's notice, catch such fare as THE HINDENBURG at the Chinese, FOR PETE'S SAKE at the (still single screen) Pacific, and SOYLENT GREEN at the Pantages.

Lovely photos from DR JOHN G.

TOD:
My local theatre when I was growing up was called The Ritz, but it was a regular looking movie house.....

The fanciest was probably The Circle in Indianapolis up on the Circle, of course....it is now the Hilbert Theatre for the ISO.  There were several nice movie palaces in Downtown Indy, but I don't think we ever went to them....  We did go to the Cinerama place a couple of times.....

I feel like DataLounge has been hosting a production of GASLIGHT for a while now, now that we have the proof that their webmaster actually was one of the people involved!!!  (He's caught redhanded having actually changed my posts and leaving my signature on them.  Also one of my collaborators and leaving his signature on.)  They can no longer claim they were just a site with a Twitter or Fcaebook exception on which others who just used their service were misbehaving..  Bk may have been right. this may have been a Pakula film after all.  It's good to have this info, but it's creepy towards what end all this was done.  Motive seems very blurry here.)

I agree.  I understand that it and the Paramount are the only downtown theaters still there.  Both legit houses now, I believe.

I recall seeing movies like THE GUNS OF NAVARONE and THE KING AND I at the 5th Avenue.  It was a block up the street from my father's jewelry store, which was two doors down from the Blue Mouse Theater...right next to Ivar's restaurant.

I just read this week's NEW YORK magazine which has a very good review for Nathan Lane and his comedy THE NANCE, which I'd very much like to see, and a lacerating and viciously funny review of Tom Cruise's new film OBLIVION (are Cruise and Travolta in competition to produce the worst L.

What kind of movies played at the Blue Mouse Theater, DR Druxy?

I just read this week's NEW YORK magazine which has a very good review for Nathan Lane and his comedy THE NANCE, which I'd very much like to see, and a lacerating and viciously funny review of Tom Cruise's new film OBLIVION (are Cruise and Travolta in competition to produce the worst L. Ron Hubbard sci fi mess?), which is another reason to detest Cruise.

The film has gotten some mixed reviews to be sure.  The story is not, however, one of L. Ron Hubbard's.

I'd read a headline somewhere that said that "Oblivion" is supposed to be a hit...at least, financially (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20130421/US-USA-BOXOFFICE/).

That calls for a Rock of Ages parody lyric under the Times article

Everything's a song cue these days.

I frankly don't care if it's by L. Ron Hubbard or Old Mother Hubbard. I only report what the review said. It made me laugh a lot since I detest both Tom Cruise and his cult.

Did a three-mile jog, then had lunch with a friend - I had to go to her, in some horrifying place called Sunland/Tujunga, which, to me, looks like the armpit of somewhere.  We managed to at least find the nearby Coco's, where I had a citrus glazed hunk of salmon and vegetables - total calorie count 650.

Hi all!  I just had to share the news that the plumber left a  little while ago and a that means that the kitchen project is FINISHED!!!!!!

Now it's time to wash, sort, throw away old dishes and decided what goes where in the many cabinets and drawers that I now have!!!!

I think you all know I never had an ice maker before.  Well it just made it's first ice--all five little pieces.  I had to laugh.  I don't know why but I felt like that commercial where the kid comes and tells Mama he made pee pee.  I'm so proud!

You watch your phraseology!

No, we are indeed not the Triumph.  We are sailing smoothly thru the Gulf of Mexico heading for Miami.  We are due in Miami at 10:00 (no early arrival), and we sail again at 5:30 p.m.

This woman who I had chatted with yesterday, was waiting for the elevator as I tried to maneuver my chariot out of the narrow opening and managed to run it into the wall instead.  I apologized as I got the thing off of the lift to which she replied, "Why don't you try having another beer next time."

Or is it more a metaphor?

Well, it's time for me to leave.  I'm going to my parents' house for dinner.  She's making tacos!  My cousin is up from Oregon for a job interview, right here in Tumwater...just a few blocks from where I live!  Hopefully, he'll eventually get some good news!  They would really like to move up here and be near to family.

Until later!

Kitchen congratulations to DR Danise!!!

Please provide a link to pictures when you can.

Ice makers are wonderful things, even if the ice itself is crap.  (Best ice for home is found in bags at the gas station or deli, or in an old-fashioned aluminum ice cube tray which gets the stuff super cold.)  But you can't argue with the Space Age Convenience!

What kind of movies played at the Blue Mouse Theater, DR Druxy?

Usually hard ticket films (e.g. OKLAHOMA, BEN-HUR, etc.), as well as pictures that had long runs (e.g. THE MUSIC MAN).

Back in those days in Seattle, a popular movie might play in a downtown theater as long as a year or more before it moved out into the smaller neighborhood houses.

Directly across the street from the Blue Mouse was the Music Box, which also played long runs.

Nice pictures, Laura!  When I left my parents' house today, there were a couple of hummingbirds feeding at the feeder.  And they were noisy!  I don't remember hearing them making that much noise.
