Post by: bk on September 06, 2014, 12:00:10 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an emphasis on the ladder, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they've got an emphasis on the udder.

Title: Re: WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE LADDER
Post by: ChasSmith on September 06, 2014, 05:36:49 AM: Vixmom: I think you asked about one or both of the shows coming up that I'm involved with.

Here's AVENUE Q which, if you're interested, I will strongly recommend holding off till later in the run. They do great work there, but the challenges of this show are such that it's going to improve with experience.
http://theatreworks.us/

And RAGTIME, for which I'm only playing in the pit and I haven't the slightest idea who's involved or how worthy a production it will be. But this is the theater that's worth the trip in itself if you're into theaters -- and it's a LONG drive for you, so I'd recommend a matinee.

Post by: John G. on September 06, 2014, 07:03:50 AM: TOD: Too many to relay here. One of my favorites was from "Ballroom," "There's a Terrific Band ..."

I thought Bea was standing outside the dance hall and singing:

What have you got to lose,
Only a night, who cares?
That isn't the Matahorn,
It's only the Fred Astaires

and she was actually singing:

What have you got to lose,
Only a night, who cares?
That isn't the Matahorn,
It's only a flight of stairs.

Could the Vixter have locked her car keys in her car? I am guessing if you think they could be in Canada then that means she has not driven her car since you've been back?

Post by: John G. on September 06, 2014, 10:04:12 AM: Elton John can sing, but he cannot enunciate, so I have often misunderstood his lyrics, like the one in Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, in which he sings about his sister with, what I thought he said, "a handful of breeze in her hair." But no, it was a "handful of grease."

I did, however, hear the right lyric to Benny and the Jets, which is "She's got electric boots." Many have heard that as "electric boobs."

I spent my afternoon working on Chee-Chee and listening to two operas, Thomas' Mignon and Britten's arrangement of The Beggar's Opera. I will go into Rodgers & Hammerstein and copy what I am missing from the Chee-Chee scores.

Any of the people here who backed Herringbone on Kickstarter - has there been any notification from anyone about the new delay, that the album won't be coming out Sept. 8?

I haven't gotten anything, nor have I heard anything about this latest delay. :-\ I pledged $50 and am supposed to get "One AUTOGRAPHED advance copy of the HERRINGBONE LIVE CONCERT CD in a gorgeous six-panel digipak designed by ASAF SHAKHAM (as soon as it's available)!" I don't know if each pledge level is also supposed to get all the items below it, but I would at least like the autographed (physical) CD.

So, I went - they're still figuring things out. But, as always, the sheep of Studio City, who never heard of Granville but needing a new, hip place to call their own - after all, after two months I'm sure they've tired of Lemonade - have descended on this jernt. At four-thirty.

Thank you thank you the patented HHW vibes have done their job. The car keys remain elusive but a spare set was located at some point. I came home from shopping to find the vixters car gone (she walked to and from her jib at the roadhouse today) but managed to drive to the church sexton job

How far a walk is it?

I'm glad the spare set was found.

The roadhouse is less than a mile from here

DR vixmom - it's strange; most churches that I know on the east coast are having their "kickoff" Sundays this Sunday. Around here, on the other hand, most seem to be holding off until 9/14.

we have always had ours the Sunday after the schools open , this is also the first day of Sunday School for the year

Project Update #10: A LAUNCH DATE!
Posted by BD WONG ♥ Like

Dear Friends,

Mike Croiter at YELLOW SOUND LABEL and I are happy to announce to you guys first that the LIVE HERRINGBONE RECORDING will launch on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2014.

This will allow me to finish up the final design elements around my schedule doing the play in San Francisco and La Jolla, and Jurassic Park 4 in New Orleans, all this summer.

http://playbill.com/news/article/189843-US-Premiere-of-The-Orphan-of-Zhao-Starring-Tony-Winner-BD-Wong-Will-Play-American-Conservatory-Theater

(This co-production will immediately go down to La Jolla Playhouse after it's run at ACT).

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/18/exclusive-interview-with-the-director-of-jurassic-world

We are all really proud of the Herringbone project and have all been looking forward to this event.

There will be more details to come.

I am ever thankful for your patience and support.

Love, BDW

Post by: John G. on September 06, 2014, 09:20:46 PM: Volunteering was odd tonight. It was the first big night at the center. The main stage had Jason Mraz, the studio theater had an Iberian concert from the Chamber Orchestra of San Antonio, which is what I was ushering, and some overly loud outdoor concert at the River Walk space. All three were sold out.

You can't hear the music from one building to the next, but you could hear the music from the outdoor venue in the small theater whenever the orchestra wasn't playing and even at times when a piece was played at pianissimo.

They're really going to have to work on the programming of that space.
