Post by: bk on April 04, 2014, 12:03:18 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of pomegranates and were dreamy, and now it is time for you to post until the dreamy cows come home.

Title: Re: POMEGRANATE DREAMS
Post by: Ben on April 04, 2014, 04:09:35 AM: I saw Casa Valentina last night. It's Harvey Fierstein's new play about a group of men in 1962 who go up to a resort in the Catskills to live for weekends as transvestites. It's based on true events. The men are not gay and they are not drag queens. I do think one of them is questioning his gender identity but they all identify as heterosexual men who happen to enjoy dressing as women, like Eddie Izzard. There is discussion of "homosexuals" and how "we can't let them into our group" because they are "sick" and need help. It's a funny piece but it touches, especially in the second act, on very serious topics. I enjoyed it very much. It's a strong piece with some very good performances.

I looked out of my dorm room window and saw the Mississippi River and thought "all is good" I woke up the next morning to inches of snow. I wanted to open my dorm room window and jump out from the 10th floor!

Post by: singdaw on April 04, 2014, 06:45:42 AM: I attended two concerts yesterday and heard some amazing newly composed vocal music. Had a chance to chat with some of the young up-and-coming composers afterward.

There is so much amazing music going on in the Twin Cities, and I have been attending an average of 2 to 3 concerts per week. When I lived near NYC I certainly had the opportunity to hear much great music, but getting in and out of the city was such a hassle that I didn't always take advantage of the opportunities. Here, you can be home in 10 minutes. Well - when it isn't snowing. :)

I may be down at the moment - I'm sure it's Alan's death - but my therapy sessions always perk me up and i could use that today. I was lucky that I had the diversion yesterday with a great musical comedy and a lively dinner with friends. Today I've got work to do to keep me occupied, and tomorrow, I've got work at Toyland. I'm glad to be busy.

I'm happy that everyone had a good time at either Encores! or Carnegie Hall. The two Loesser shows back to back for me only confirmed once again what a wonderful writer he was. I haven' t seen Jo Loesser in a couple of years, but i'm sure she's very pleased this week.

As some of you heard, Richard discovered shortly after we arrived in Philadelphia that he'd lost his car keys and I don't carry my keys when we travel. We collected our luggage, had lunch, and he's at the car waiting for the AAA locksmith to arrive with new keys. If I disappear abruptly, it's because he's called to tell me he's on his way to pick me up.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying a nonfat vanilla latte at Starbucks and charging my phone and iPad.

Yes, DR Elmore, it's the rustic building next to Dave Finkelman Auditorium. It's used for receptions and other community events. I went to a memorial service there for English professor Malcolm Sedam many years ago.

This never happens to me. I always see plenty of other people caught in the pouring rain. But I always bring my umbrella whenever it is supposed to rain.

Well I went to my niece's swim team practice. We got there at 4pm. And when we left at 6:45pm it was pouring. :(

Luckily we were parked fairly close to the door and we both had hoods. But still.

For anyone who doesn't remember, "Unforgettable" returns tonight for the second half of its season.
I really like this show. DR Jane do you still watch it?

We only watched the first episode. I didn't even know it was still on.

I think you would like it. They switched things up this year. This is the first episode of the 2nd half of the season.

Possibly but I doubt Keith will want to revisit it. Maybe we can catch the summer re-runs.

Post by: bk on April 04, 2014, 06:35:09 PM: I knew someone would come out of the woodwork and tell me that my signing date is a huge conflict with another event - probably should have left it on Passover, which would have finished at three and in plenty of time for people to get where they were going. Too late now - April 12th? The LA Times Festival of Books. BRILLIANT! Not that anyone who's coming to the signing would go to the LA Times Festival of Books, so it's not really going to impact me at all.

I attended two concerts yesterday and heard some amazing newly composed vocal music. Had a chance to chat with some of the young up-and-coming composers afterward.

There is so much amazing music going on in the Twin Cities, and I have been attending an average of 2 to 3 concerts per week. When I lived near NYC I certainly had the opportunity to hear much great music, but getting in and out of the city was such a hassle that I didn't always take advantage of the opportunities. Here, you can be home in 10 minutes. Well - when it isn't snowing. :)

I knew you'd love that about the twin cities

Then I watched a documentary about TWA Flight 800 - not very well done and a little too heavy-handed, but very interesting and it clearly was one of the most botched "investigations" of all time - how this country got away with that is horrifying. Then I watched All the King's Men.
