Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the final three, and now it is time for you to post until the final three cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: INSPISSATE!
-
First after BK!!!
-
good morning to all

John G. This may be too late but a Skip has in the past allowed me to share so
For six hard boiled eggs Mash yolks with 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons mayo, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons crumbled bleu cheese, salt & pepper to taste 3 tablespoons bacon bits (reserve a little for garnish)
The bleu cheese and the bacon. Oh my. I generally expend the recipe to. 2 or 3 dozen eggs depending on the crowd because people will eat 4 or 6 of the halves.... They are sooooo good
-
Well I thought I would be st work 30 minutes ago but I slept in.... Have a good day all
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning, all!

I read vixmom's Tale of the Office Computer before hitting the sack last night. And I tell you -- Jean-Paul Sartre has nothing on vixmom when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of Hell. She's got it down, man.
-
Last night the Tylenol PM took about 5 hours to kick in, so I tossed and turned in the dark from 9:30 to some time past 11 before I finally fell asleep.
-
Today is another day with Frank Loesser. We're beginning at noon today.
-
Tonight I am seeing the Chase Brock Experience perform at Symphony Space on 96th Street. I look forward to it. there will be many friends there.
-
Bk that American Theatre guy sounds like a self important ass
Amen! What the hell point is that. These jerks should be looking at the production for possible entry in the Festival and not to put in their two cents.
-
I need to call Charlotte. I am dying to see Love and Friendship.
-
Today is Liza Doolittle Day and here's my beloved Annalene Beechey with conductor John Wilson, Anthony Edwards, Alum Armstrong, Sian Phillips, Julian Ovenden, and others from the 2012 concert.
-
Friday sure took a long time getting here this week.
-
Good morning. I have actually been awake since 3:30 and am ready for a nap.
-
Good morning, all.
Happy Liza Doolittle Day!
-
Thanks for the recipe, Vixmom.
-
And Skip, by extension.

I have been in a couple of DePauw productions that were then critiqued. Both of the gentlemen seemed to be somewhat knowledgeable.....
The man talking to us about The Crucible was really very kind, only saying that some of props might have been better researched....especially since Elizabeth Proctor served coffee from a percolator with a place for an electrical cord to be attached.....
I think the best shows are invited to the annual festival and get to do a 60 minute version of the show for the BIG POOBAH JUDGES!!!!

ONE MORE THING with Christopher Walken

"Elizabeth Proctor Served Coffee From an Electric Percolator" - that sounds like the title for something

TOD:
We've been listening to "Pajama Game" to prepare for the reading performance we saw last weekend with Jason Graae, Jamon Kirsch, and Shannon Warne. It's a surprisingly wonderful compilation of songs. And the show was fantastic too - very funny!
-
And speaking of Jason Graae, I forgot to post a couple weeks ago that we drove to Palm Springs to see his newest cabaret show "Graaetest Hits!" He was his usual fantastic self and happened to mention our very own Bruce Kimmel's name during the show about three times. The show is a mix of his usual wonderful stuff along with a bit of new stuff. He's doing the show again on June 8th at the Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood, for those who live in the area. I highly recommend it.
-
Friday morning greetings! The only thing on my calendar today is a 2:15 haircut. Richard and I have 2 items to take to our framer and we also need to purchase a new walker for my mother. The brakes on hers are shot, posing a fall risk when she tries to sit on the seat.
-
An astute person might detect a pattern there.
I'm Episcopalian, not astute. But I detect you're immersing yourself into some "Fantasticks" material.
-
But I tried to keep it subtle.
And that is very much appreciated. because nothing exceeds like excess!
-
I had a thought to share with you all, but it failed to inspissate.
-
I have a 3 p.m. blood pressure check at the hospital.
Oh, joy. At least my work day ends earlier today.

For them what needs it:

I agree with DR AMY - The Pajama Game is one of my ALL TIME favorite musicals!!!
-
I first saw the movie when it was shown one afternoon on Frances Farmer Presents, I seem to remember that Frances herself had nice things to say about the movie and Doris Day.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
This critiquing or whatever they call it (there's a name I'm not remembering) is a new thing - they used to just come, see the show and then you'd know if you were in or out. This guy is kind of notorious, though, and rather silly.
-
Hello!
-
I'm in rehearsal for High School Musical Jr today... all day.... it's going ok. It's always tough to do a musical with an entire class, 1/3 which has no talent, but the talent level is pretty decent this year.

Have you heard the Japan Tour CD? It's an American production but was performed in Japan. It has just Piano and Harp - with Harvey Schmidt at the piano. It's great for the orchestrations alone.

I would have guessed Jo was on the right, with the long braid, and Beth on the left.

I didn't mention Beth yesterday 'cause I knew she was doing poorly.
Now I learn she's dead.

I wonder why we cannot get past page 2.

It's not like we're not trying.

I am still a huge fan of TV's "Supernatural".
The recent Part 1 of 2 of the Season Finale was awesome.
Can't wait to see how it all rolls out.

Have I mentioned that it's now Friday in Oakland CA?

And it's also our payday!

Hooray!

I have not, and I'm ordering it right now. Thanks, DR Matthew!

Well I did give Beth my piano....so it was not a bad life.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Continued vibes to Larry's friend with cancer and to JRand's mom.
May they both have full recoveries.
-
I don't need to tell any of you that LA NOW AND THEN is a very smart and funny show. That BK is a clever guy and knows his way around musicals. You all know that. I will say a few things, though.
the show's opening number, THIS IS THE CITY, really gets the ball rolling, so to speak. It's very catchy and really gets the audience into the spirit of the show. Tremendous energy, which continues throughout Act I. Act II includes some darker material, which is reflected in the songs, but it never gets too dark or belabors the point. Act II closes with lots of energy.
The kids looked like they were having a WONDERFUL time. Pure joy on many of their faces. I don't see that very often any more.
-
I was pleased to see Robert Yacko in person. I knew from HHW clips that he has a fine voice, but I didn't know what a capable actor he is. He did a beautiful job with both the Uber sketch and the one about the older gay man.
-
The songs are terrific, with BK's songs the best, IMO. I loved the orchestrations and the 6-piece band covered so much ground. It was a really fun show.
-
I'd really like to see a professional production of this. The show deserves it. That said, you really wouldn't know that this was a college production. Or how quickly everything was rehearsed and had to come together. It really was amazing.
-
The traffic, however, was HORRIBLE. I usually allow extra time, which means I tend to arrive early. That was the plan yesterday, as well. But it was bumper-to-bumper traffic from my apartment to Richard's salon, and then all the way to LACC. Ugh. And there's nothing one can do except try to be patient. We arrived just in the nick of time.
-
The people in front of me at the box office were told that the show was sold out. When I gave my name to Miss BO she was a bit slow. Knowing the problems, I was trying to be patient. The next thing I knew BK was standing next to me, telling her my name in a very forceful voice. "Yes, yes, I have them," she said. Good thing, too.
-
I believe it is time for me to feed my face, so TTFN, folks.
-
I can just about imagine the very forceful voice of BK in that circumstance.
Oh yes indeed. :)
-
Thanks for a great report, DR Jeanne! Wish I could be there. I really can't believe it's almost over already.
-
Facebook event page is up, so that's done. Also, waiting for all the sheet music to arrive via the e-mail.
-
And I am home from the Frank Loesser office. The damned No. 7 bus is running slowly. I waited 20 minutes for a bus that sholud arrive every 8 minutes. I was not amused.

Just noticed there's an I Love Lucy special tonight on CBS at 8 pm. More colorized episodes, I think.
-
Yes, it's just starting. The John Wayne episodes are being shown in color.
-
Well, I'm leaving work and need to run some errands before I go to the theater. Tonight, we're supposed to have a completely sold out house! That'll be great!
-
Be back later.

But before I go...

Gratuitous Post #100!

I'm not sure what we have recorded, maybe a FATHER BROWN. I'm in the mood for that.

We have been watching BURNS AND ALLEN. This show was funny and wonderful. I just wish the sound quality was better. We are watching it on YouTube through our tv.

I don't think skip used bacon bits I think he used crumbled home cooked bacon

We took 2 pieces to Framer Sue, spent a little time at the public library, and bought Mom a new walker at the Medicine Shoppe. We delivered it to her and heard her version of the 2 falls she took this week, which I'd already heard about from the nurses. She's quite depressed because they've told her to ALWAYS call for help when she wants to be up and about. I finally told her about my friend's mother who was told the same thing when she lived in the same place. She did not comply and was finally told she had to move across the lobby to skilled nursing. Hope that sinks in...

And I am home from Chase's dance concert at Symphony Space. He has a fantastic group of dancers, and I like much of his work. He has a wonderful imagination and sense of humor. The group performed with my friend Josh Rosenblum's ensemble "The Pit Stop Players," a group of Broadway pit players who are not playing a show or concert. They're quite good as well. It was a delightful evening.
-
Josh Rosenblum is a good composer, and he plays keyboards for a lot of Encores! productions. The Pit Stop Players in the first half played his delightful "Happy Birthday Variations." I can't remember all the composers he parodied, but we had some Johann Strauss, Stravinksky, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, and Rossini. It was really wonderful.
-

Thanks, Jane! We actually had to turn away a couple of walk-ups!
-
And we're off!
-
Very good.
-
We are watching 77 Sunset Strip.
-
Next up Modern Family.
-
Would love to hear those Happy Birthday variations!
-
We're getting laughs where there haven't been laughs before. Finally!
-
It's gone to some serious moments and they're paying attention.

And since we're so close...

The evening's event from the wine and food festival, called Back to Bubbles, was fun. I got to pour sparkling wine for a big chunk of the evening and talk to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Nice to be back in circulation.
-
My favorite snack of the evening was something called Tongue in Cheek. It was smoked pork cheek atop a raw oyster with a pickled Moroccan tomato. The tomato made everything work.
Also liked the foie gras, the pork shoulder, the sashimi-grade tuna with avocado salad (what you and I would called guacamole) and the fried cheese snacks.

-
Good evening!
-
It has been a long day.
-
First I drove up to Mercer Island to have lunch with my friend, Sandy.
-
I hadn't seen Sandy for over six weeks, so it was quite a shock.
-
He has lost 48 pounds; from the cancer, from the chemo, and from the loss of appetite.
-
That and no longer having any hair, it was quite a shock.
-
The drive back was horrendous!
-
The traffic was bumper to bumper and it was stop and go the entire way.
-
I was exhausted when I got home, but I knew I had to go to the opening night of SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE.
-
I'm home.
-
6!!
-
I managed to get in a nap, and then it was off to the theater.
-
SMOKEY JOE'S was very nicely performed and well directed, but the music of Lieber and Stoller is just not my cup of tea.
-
Soooo, you can imagine how thrilled I was listening to forty of their songs.
-
And of course this type of review (and a lot of alcohol) encourages the audience to whoop and holler and whistle and scream!
-
SMOKEY JOE'S was very nicely performed and well directed, but the music of Lieber and Stoller is just not my cup of tea.
Capital Playhouse did it years ago and it was pretty good. I liked it a lot, and really enjoy listening to the original cast recording.

Naturally, the show received a standing ovation from a majority of the audience.
