Good morning, all!  I did not sleep well, but the only dream i can remember is something about joining a dating service and a lot of neuroses.

I have little else to report.  This morning, I will head to Toyland, print a full score for our producer, and bind it, if there's time. Otherwise, I will head to 42nd Street to catch the 1:00 matinee of one of the NYMF shows. My friend Laura is in it, and I will hopefully have coffee with her after the show.

It sprinkled last night (all 9 drops), but it still smells like rain this morning.  DR Laura says there might be rain today; we just got irrigation, and I watered the other plants, so that means there's a good chance we will.

Slept pretty much okay, which is good because I'd gotten a somewhat short sleep the night before.

And now ...........

Coffee!

I enjoyed hearing "The Twelfth of Never"....very nice.....

Teen age angst is my least favorite type of entertainment.  I can appreciate the songs today, but I can't enjoy them much.  And I feel VERY much like MR BK does about loading a soundtrack with familiar songs....the only good thing about it is that it makes a nice soundtrack CD.

I am going to be singing the strangest memorial service on Saturday.

Apparently the deceased was an extra in The Gay Divorcee, so that is part of their tribute to him.

Title: Re: THREE FRIENDS
Post by: bk on July 10, 2013, 09:41:38 AM
I saw the early reading of Sleepless the Musical - dreadful.  Then they had it all rewritten, including the score, but you can't really change the story, can you?  And the story - well - how can it work as a musical?  In the film you have two people in different cities for most of the film - even though they have two brief sightings they really don't meet until the last minute of the movie.  In film you have editing and close-ups.  On stage you have two people at opposite ends of the stage - I don't see how that can ever work.  Not every movie, despite its brand, needs to be a musical.
Title: Re: THREE FRIENDS
Post by: MBarnum on July 10, 2013, 09:47:14 AM
I had a crazy dream last night, also. I was working, as a second job, back at my long ago former employer Bi-Mart. It was my first day and at the end of the day there was a big hub-bub because there was 1/4 of a million dollars missing from the till that I and another cashier had been working on.

There was a big investigation involving management and all of the employees and then the CIA or FBI or some other official types were brought in.

I was quite upset to be a suspect; I wasn't worried about losing my job, as I had only taken this second job out of boredom. I also could not understand how there could have possibly ever been that much money in any of our tills...but at the tail end of the dream it turned out to be another employee had stolen the money...and it was Amanda, a contestant from the current season of Big Brother.
Title: Re: THREE FRIENDS
Post by: MBarnum on July 10, 2013, 09:53:43 AM
Bi-Mart figures into a lot of my recurring dreams, for some reason. Almost all of them have me working back at Bi-Mart as a temporary employee. I just show up and go to work, but then I begin to realize that I never look at the schedule to see if I am actually supposed to work that day or if I have been missing days that I was supposed to work and didn't realize it due to not looking at the schedule. Oddly enough, the store managers never mention anything about me missing work or being there on the wrong days.

I am quite curious what the Dream-O-Matic 3000 has to say about this recurring dream scenerio.
Title: Re: THREE FRIENDS
Post by: ChasSmith on July 10, 2013, 09:55:43 AM
I had one mildly crazy dream, but nothing much out of the ordinary.  I think it conflated two of my standard dream themes.

Anyhoo, apropos of just about nothing, I was just thinking of Reuben sandwiches.  Haven't had one in quite a long time, so maybe that needs to be rectified.

And then I thought of Reuben's Restaurant/Deli in NYC -- the incarnation I remember of it being their East 58th Street location in the early 1970s.  Anyone here remember that one?  I was trying to find some pictures (especially of the interior) of that location (I know they moved around) and am coming up empty.

Indiana is just being...Indiana....

This is the state that spent hours of legislative time each year for over 20 years debating time zones.

This is the state that says that the loved ones of single persons who are unmarried and have no children cannot sue for wrongful death benefits....no matter the circumstances of the demise....even murder or accident....only surviving spouse or children are eligible for those benefits.

It is also the state that will NOT require gravel trucks or any other haulers to put tarps or covers on their trucks while they are on the highway....they are NOT responsible for broken windshields or any other damage.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Song, Here is the first verse:

He put a bullet in his head
And it never should have hurt him

Superman is dead

There really aren't tips on songwriting - I've been asked to pontificate on that subject and I never really know what to say, other than focus is everything and turn of phrase is everything in lyric writing.  I can always talk about the process of writing prose, whether fiction or otherwise - that's easy, but songwriting I just never know what to say really because it's such a personal thing from writer to writer.

And i am home from the New York Musical Theatre Festival production of SASQUATCHED, which was nicely directed and choreographed, had a nice 5-piece country band, a bright energetic cast, and a few problems with the book and lyrics. The author hasn't decided exactly what the tone of the piece should be, and for every number I liked, there was one that didn't land. My friend Laura Daniel was wonderful as the eco-friendly park marshal, and I had a nice visit with her after the show.  At intermission, I discovered our E&T DR Julie sitting two rows in front of me. It was great to see her. 

I liked the music very much; I felt in some cases the lyrics didn't sit well on the tunes, but the biggest problem for me was the author's failure to find an over-all tone for the show.  The work of the director/choreographer was quite wonderful, and I appreciated the fact that  he kept the comedy moving at a nice clip.

Early lunch meeting was fun and informative - with producer Ed Gaynes and his delightful daughter, Jessica - both were at last Sunday's Kritzerland show.  Ed and I are having conversations about bringing the Kritzerland shows to NY or maybe bringing Lost and Unsung to one of the theaters he runs.  We shall see.  Jessica, when she was a wee teen was the host of a really popular Nickelodeon show - can't remember the name.  She hasn't worked in a lot of years (her choice) but is trying to get back into it or some form of the business now.

My eyes are blurry but it isn't too bright by the computer so I can use it.  I can't wash the dishes as the sun is shining to brightly through the window at the sink.

My prescription changed ever so slightly, not enough for me to do anything about it.  My eyes are a bit cloudy which surprised me.  Not enough to even consider cataract surgery.  Having the surgery so I can get the implants that would let me trash my glasses is a looooong way off.

Condolences for Marilyn and her family!

Car starting vibes for DR KEVIN H.

DR VIXMOM, I do not know how covered the lady was......but it was probably something unexpected at a performance of YOU'RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN.....

As a former breastfeeder when its baby's time to eat ya gotta go with the flow - cos the flow will come  no matter what -- and weren't the actors kids?  It may have been a sibling having lunch...

Amen. And I didn't even work today. I made the mistake of checking my work email. Something like 15 messages, all supposedly important. And a few of them handled while I was gone. Yippee.

Early lunch meeting was fun and informative - with producer Ed Gaynes and his delightful daughter, Jessica - both were at last Sunday's Kritzerland show.  Ed and I are having conversations about bringing the Kritzerland shows to NY or maybe bringing Lost and Unsung to one of the theaters he runs.  We shall see.  Jessica, when she was a wee teen was the host of a really popular Nickelodeon show - can't remember the name.  She hasn't worked in a lot of years (her choice) but is trying to get back into it or some form of the business now.

Yes, I think that was the show she did.  I was doing post production on some stinker show at the same facility she was doing voice-overs and that's when I first met her a decade ago.

Sneaking in to wish everyone a lovely evening. Been trapped in rehearsals for a sinking ship, and getting tires replaced, when I found two had the rubber separating - never safe.  All is well now.

Kay, back to the sinking ship. Good luck with your collective butt cheeks.



Ryacko, is this Ismay show a play or a musical?

I'm not Yacko but I believe it's a play.  Depending on when it is, I may go try and see it.

Hard to imagine a very interesting play when the subject is J. Bruce Ismay.  Other than climbing into a lifeboat rather than going down with the ship, he was a pretty boring individual.

I think the Titanic survivor Molly Brown Tobin would be a good subject for a musical - oh, wait.  I heard the demo of this "revisal" version of Molly Brown - I'm not going into detail, but I was not happy with what I heard.  Some of it is so wrongheaded that you would expire if I even told you how the show now opens.

I'm beginning to think a call to Time Warner might be in order, to see if this is on their end or if I maybe need a more current modem - the one I have is at least three years old.

BK I was wondering if you had Time Warner. So do I, and I am having the same issues. Everything is sooo slow. I'll be curious to hear what they tell you.  I asked a month or so ago and all they did was refresh my modem, which was new in January. My old modem worked better.

TCB, it's a play, not a musical. And it's actually an interesting piece. Not great (it's a work in progress), but good. And Ismay is more interesting than most people know. The play dispels some of the myths about him, since so many paint him as the villain. For instance, he is portrayed in the Cameron film, donning women's clothing to get on the last lifeboat. That was not true at all.

It shows a great deal about how getting in the lifeboat at all was his greatest regret. Follows him through the hearings in the US, which were staged primarily for a Senator to grab headlines for reelection. And how he spent the rest of his life pouring money into charities to help the victims and sailors, etc.

Like I said, not a great play yet, but a good one, and one worth a reading, at least.
