I had an interesting time at the Austin Film Festival yesterday.
I did one of their Roundtable sessions, and sitting next to me at one of those tables was actor Robert Walden (LOU GRANT), who has just moved to Austin. We will probably have lunch together in the next week or two.
Also, a guy came up to me, asked if I was "Michael Druxman," then told me that, when he was a teenager back in the early 1970s, he would come to my house in Agoura Hills, CA, and watch the 16mm movies I would show almost every night in my living room. He said that watching movies in my house is what inspired him to go to film school.
Later, he became a psychotherapist, but now he wants to try screenwriting, which is why he was at the Austin Film Festival.
I want to watch 16mm movies in DR Druxy's living room. What time do the showings begin?
I hope everyone posts pictures of their Halloween costumes!
It is Friday, October 25....two months until Christmas...in case you didn't know.
Catching Up from Oct 21
Re: Karyn Kupcinet.
In the 70's & possinly the 80's I used to read Weekly Variety and I remember there was a little ad there every week to her memory.
Also there was an actor named Zach Norman who would have an ad to promote himself and this led to him getting a role in Romancing the stone.

RE: programs in Cast Album LP
I had ones from Molly Brown, Tenderloin and On a Clear Day. Which is interesting because they have a picture and bio of Rae Allen who played Mrs. Hatch. Which is interesting because she was not part of the opening night cast. So either she was let go before the show opened or she was a replacement cast member that made it to the program

I just checked the published vocal score; Rae Allen played Mrs Hatch on opening night, Michael.

Because of all our moves and Keith traveling so much I understand the fear of something happening and not having anyone to call for help. We have each other here but otherwise are fairly isolated in that our closest friends are far away. Still there are local people I could call if I really had to and they wouldn't hesitate to help.

Well, at least it's a post.

Interesting because in the ibdb and I believe the Best Plays of... (which I don't have here) an actress named Evelyn Page is credited. Maybe she left rather quickly after the opening and Rae Allen stepped in
It's definitely not been a good week. The cough and sore throat persist and because I've been sitting and lying around so much, I've now got backache. I need to be fit to fly to Germany on Monday but there's a big storm brewing for that day so my travel plans that day may get totally scuppered if aircraft get cancelled.

CDs are the same as last week because it's been a crazy one and I'm still at these: SIMPLY, DEAREST ENEMY, and ...NOW CHANGE.
BLUs are the new Vincent Price Collection and some other Halloween-appropriate goodies from the stack. Watched THE WOMAN WHO CAME BACK last night but fell dead asleep and need to see the last 20 minutes again.
It's after noon, and neither Publisher's Clearing House nor the state lotto commission have called to announce my winnings.
Do you find swimming helps your shoulders? I find it hard to swim with a sore shoulder.
Speaking of shoulders, for some odd reason my left shoulder is bothering me today. It feels like i exercised it a lot. But the only thing i did was bike.

Get Well VIBES for DR Doug R who was not NEARLY as lucky as I was with my cold. Mine, for all practical purposes, had left the building as of yesterday.

I missed Merrily We Roll Along. I thought it might have played in Montreal, but they are not getting it until Nov 7 and I will be back home by then. Maybe they'll do an Encore showing and I will get to see it,
Otherwise I will download and watch it from Digital Theater (?) that also has Into The Woods that was down in a park and had the kid as the narrator. This was the original British version

My Fair Lady being restricted.
Do they mean Jews and Blacks aren't allowed to do it? :-)
Which reminds me of a story. Groucho Marx was invited to a restricted club in (I think) Beverly Hills. He was informed that he wasn't allowed to go into the pool because he was jewish. He then asked since his daughter was half jewish could she go into the pool up to her knees?

Of course, having a smart dog in the house would certainly alleviate much of your concern...and the dog could be trained to go for help, too...especially if you fall into a well.
My friend Greta is visiting India for two weeks. She is meeting Indian movie stars and Indian movie directors.
I am quite envious.

That is a shame DR ChasSmith. But don't despair...I got an email yesterday from a Mrs. Sara Khan letting me know that she will soon begin putting large amounts of money into my checking account, until it reaches 2.5 million. I will kindly share whatever I get.
From DR Jennifer:QuoteDo you find swimming helps your shoulders? I find it hard to swim with a sore shoulder.
Speaking of shoulders, for some odd reason my left shoulder is bothering me today. It feels like i exercised it a lot. But the only thing i did was bike.
I find swimming extremely helpful for my right shoulder that almost always hurts since the breaks and replacement. It is also the only exercise for my upper body that doesn't regularly cause me to be in more pain. I do have sore muscles right now, but that is regular sore muscles that anyone would have after exercising when they haven't done it in awhile.
It was hard to swim at first but I have a good idea what is pain I can safely work through or need to back off from the activity if possible.
I hope your shoulder feels better.

Those are the exact words DR Elmore said to me. I think his tone may have differed from yours, however.

For the new HHW members, that is a clothing check...something we used to do semi frequently around these here parts...until Singdaw started posting "Nothing but a smile."
Since my last doctor's visit was a total disaster, health wise, I have been eating very healthy breakfast and lunches.
Today for lunch, some lean sliced meat, 1/3 of a yam (sliced), and one whole portobello mushroom (broken into pieces).
Actually quite tasty (he says as he looks out the window at the Indian restaurant across the street).

To paraphrase my Grandma:
Have yourself a very early Christmas
Go buy something nice
Spend a lot of money and do not think twice
Here we are in October days
Smart and sober days, we thought
Still we fell for the standard shtick
Not yet sick of Nick, we bought
Some day soon we’ll all be in the poorhouse
If we spend too free
Hang the IOU there on your Christmas tree
Still have yourself a very early Christmas spree

Maybe it's because your shoulder problem is from an actual injury.
I decided I won't go biking later today. It is quite windy and cold. And my left shoulder/arm still feels like it had a hard work out. Plus I am supposed to take my niece to her swim team practice later. She has her first swim meet tomorrow. Not sure how it works (and i won't be there because they have to leave at 6:45am and it is 30 minutes away).
DR Jane, did you say you have an actual shoulder replacement? Like they do hip replacements? And this is from having broken it?
It's definitely not been a good week. The cough and sore throat persist and because I've been sitting and lying around so much, I've now got backache. I need to be fit to fly to Germany on Monday but there's a big storm brewing for that day so my travel plans that day may get totally scuppered if aircraft get cancelled.
Doug is the approaching storm really so strong that it might cancel or postpone your flight?
Yes. There's a severe weather warning with gusts of more than 80mph forecast and British Airways have already said flights may be affected. I tried to re-schedule my flight but there's nothing available. My flight is late in the day and hopefully the worst of the storm will be over by then. The timing and extent of the storm isn't clear though.
Boo!

Had a lot of fun at "Rocky Horror Show" last night. Hadn't seen the show live before and this was a fun, over-the-top production. They used the set for Young Frankenstein, which is playing in rep. So, they really had a slab that descended from above. And when they sang, "There's a light/Over at the Frankenstein place ...," well, it really was.
DR GEORGE $7 is not enough for this event.
I'm alone.

Last ngiht was the first rehearsal for IAWL. It is strange to be doing a show at my home theatere, and yet I have only worked with one or two of these people; and never at this theater.
I had an interesting time at the Austin Film Festival yesterday.
I did one of their Roundtable sessions, and sitting next to me at one of those tables was actor Robert Walden (LOU GRANT), who has just moved to Austin. We will probably have lunch together in the next week or two.
Also, a guy came up to me, asked if I was "Michael Druxman," then told me that, when he was a teenager back in the early 1970s, he would come to my house in Agoura Hills, CA, and watch the 16mm movies I would show almost every night in my living room. He said that watching movies in my house is what inspired him to go to film school.
Later, he became a psychotherapist, but now he wants to try screenwriting, which is why he was at the Austin Film Festival.
What nice feedback from the psychotherapist. Did you know Robert Walden in LA?

It's so quiet.
Both shoulders are and I'm rather annoyed they have both been worse lately. It is probably a good idea you skipped the ride today, hopefully tomorrow you can go.
Thanks, DR Jane! Glad to hear it. I ended up buying one on eBay, but it hasn't arrived from overseas yet.

Daryl Anderson, who was also on LOU GRANT, was once a publicity client.
I'm looking forward to lunching with him soon.

Hello, everyone.
Ah, Druxy, was the psychotherapist an invited guest when he watched your movies? He didn't sneak into your house and watch while you were asleep, did he? Or watch through the windows while standing outside?
