Well, you've read the notes, the notes had seven veils, and now it is time for you to post until the dancing cows come home with musical accompaniment by MOOntovani.

Good morning, all! Last night was the first night since August 7 that I slept with no pain meds or sleep medications. I did sleep, but not particularly well, so I may not ret it again for another couple of days.  I was quite restless, and I was awake for long periods about every 2-3 hours.

I have no plans for the day, absolutely none, about the same as every day since I got back from Dublin. I will listen to the set of DEAREST ENEMY and hear how the final product turned out, read my latest mystery, and give some thought to my Golden Apple notes for the Moross website.

Our E&T DR edisaurus is in town this weekend for her Doc Pomus documentary, and I'm hoping - since there is no way I can navigate getting to the East Village for a showing - that we can meet on the Upper West Side for a coffee/breakfast visit.

Friday morning greetings!  Busy weekend ahead and a lot of prep to do today.  It's Middfest, our annual international festival, and AAUW is hosting the sponsor lounge.  Lots of our members are signed up to staff the lounge and contribute food and beverages, but I'm doing the coordinating.  Next year (if there is one), I'll appoint someone else to chair this thing.

THE ROCKY HOROR SHO was a "re-imagined" version that was really kind of lame.  The exception was a few of the performers. (I spelled it that way to discourage merry searchers).

RiffRaff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, and Dr Scott were outstanding, and the band was great!!!  I kind of thought we were in trouble when "Science Fiction Double Feature" was sung by Phantoms coming out of graves instead of Magenta in an usher's outfit...  I then I KNEW we were in trouble when one of said phantoms sang:  "Janet Scott" and "try-fids....."

Choreography (or lack thereof) was my biggest disappointment.  The set was great, but we had a LOT of missed light and sound cues...

Fun to see....but a lot of missed opportunities....and I might have switched the actors who played Frank and Brad....

Thanks for the new season round-up, DR TCB. I have set my DVR for SEAN SAVES THE WORLD as a friend of mine will be a semi-regular on the show, beginning in a few weeks.

DR George, I thought the same about LUCKY 7, but some of the actors in it are so good, and the characters are so interesting. I hope that NBC at least lets the season play out.

My friend Paul and I saw The Trip to Bountiful.  Cicely Tyson was fantastic!  I'm so glad I got to see her--I'm pretty sure it was the last chance to do so.    And Vanessa Williams was great.  We were disappointed that she didn't come out the stage door (we didn't expect Ms. Tyson to do so), but we did get Tom Wopat's autograph.

Interesting.  Theater Artists Olympia is going to have a fund raiser November 1st so that we can put on "The Rocky Horror Show."  Pug, the director, also has a concept for the show.  It's been done in Olympia several times by a couple of the bigger local theater groups and she doesn't like to repeat anything.  Since she really wants to do the show, she's come up with an idea to make it different, but hopefully will still bring in the audience...hopefully.  Actually, every production has practically sold out, so as long as we can raise the money to actually put on the show, we should do quite well...hopefully. ::)

Back from my errands and the Middfest Friday chaos has begun.  One of the things we (AAUW) are responsible for is distributing the gift bags to the donors who visit our lounge.  As of this morning I had empty bags (not enough, of course) and nothing to put in them.  When I was out I stopped at the office and got a box of souvenir magazines and a box of logo badges and stuffed as many bags as I had.  Later this evening more bags will be delivered to me.  Also, the souvenir coffee mugs won't be ready until tomorrow morning, so we'll probably be adding those as we distribute the bags.

And, there's a good possibility that we'll be moved from the location we've been planning for because another function needs our space due to the weather forecast.

On the bright side, AAUW members have been dropping off food and beverage donations all day!

Well, I must be leaving.  It's our official opening night of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."  I'm sure that we'll have a good audience.  Last night's run-through went quite well, so they will enjoy it. :)

Until later!

I LOVED AT HOME WITH THE BRAITHWAITES. I thought it was done beautifully. I understand there's another British show on this subject, which I'd like to see.

I stopped at Trader Joe's on my way home today. This particular TJ's is small and is ALWAYS busy. Today even more so. An older couple were patiently waiting for a customer to load her groceries into her car so they could take the space. The woman in the car behind them, a new Mercedes SUV, began yelling and even started getting out of her car, presumably to yell even more. I truly am losing patience with people who cannot control themselves and feel they have the right to inflict their negativity--and noise--onto those around them. We were ALL waiting to either leave the parking lot or look for spaces. Her yelling did not help anyone. I would have loved to see a cop cite her.

We are back from the Middfest opening, which was held at the Pendleton Art Center during their regular First Friday festivities.  Tomorrow and Sunday, Middfest moves to its new venue - the local Miami University campus.

Oh, and I did NOT receive more bags tonight.  We'll just have to hope that only half of the donors show up tomorrow to claim their gifts.

The good news is that we're not being moved.

Just wanted to let you know, there was a mile wide tornado to the east of Sioux City and a 1/2 mile wide tornado to the west of Sioux City at the same time. We spent quite a while in the basement, but it didn't hit here and we are ok.  Others near here weren't as lucky.

We had planned on stopping at Crater Lake along the way but of course it was closed.  We stopped into see Buddy, the Bernese Mt. Dog, at the furniture store in Bend.  His person suggestion something better than going to Crater Lake.  On the drive home we spent an extra couple of hours driving the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.  It was beautiful.  I hope to have some photos tomorrow.

Just got a very nice phone call and if all goes as planned, I will be having lunch with my first Bollywood actor!

Aman Dhaliwal is in the US visiting friends in Seattle and he and a buddy will be coming through town as they drive to Sacramento tomorrow (a very long trip!). I recently interviewed Aman for www.pedrotheapebomb.wordpress.com. which is how we know each other.

Mikey, is there a Bollywood version of ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW or maybe GONE WITH THE WIND?
Title: Re: THE DANCE OF THE SEVEN VEILS
Post by: TCB on October 04, 2013, 09:54:50 PM
THE ROCKY HOROR SHO was a "re-imagined" version that was really kind of lame.  The exception was a few of the performers. (I spelled it that way to discourage merry searchers).

RiffRaff, Magenta, Columbia, Eddie, and Dr Scott were outstanding, and the band was great!!!  I kind of thought we were in trouble when "Science Fiction Double Feature" was sung by Phantoms coming out of graves instead of Magenta in an usher's outfit...  I then I KNEW we were in trouble when one of said phantoms sang:  "Janet Scott" and "try-fids....."

Choreography (or lack thereof) was my biggest disappointment.  The set was great, but we had a LOT of missed light and sound cues...

Fun to see....but a lot of missed opportunities....and I might have switched the actors who played Frank and Brad....

Interesting.  Theater Artists Olympia is going to have a fund raiser November 1st so that we can put on "The Rocky Horror Show."  Pug, the director, also has a concept for the show.  It's been done in Olympia several times by a couple of the bigger local theater groups and she doesn't like to repeat anything.  Since she really wants to do the show, she's come up with an idea to make it different, but hopefully will still bring in the audience...hopefully.  Actually, every production has practically sold out, so as long as we can raise the money to actually put on the show, we should do quite well...hopefully. ::)

I had lunch today with one of my former co-workers.  He is, at least, ten years younger than me, but he is starting to look older than me.  Both he and his wife have a great many health problems.  No anything fatal, but trouble with walking and with back problems.  She takes more Vicodin in one day than I take in a week.  And his doctor passed right over the Vicodin and put him on Oxy.

I have had a terrible time this week keeping track of what is the day of the we.  I keep several calendars handy, but you know how it is when you know the actual day is, but it feels like a different day.

Yesterday was Monday all day, and I couldn'g t wrap my head around it being Thursday.  So, of course, if yesterday was Monday; it stands to reason that today was Sunday.
