George, the potatoe-fest sounds like fun

It always is.  It's also rather free-form.  The potatoes are cooked and left in our staff room for people to eat whenever they want, so not everyone sits down at the same time.  But most people will eat together when the potatoes are ready.

TOD:

Of course, I'm prejudiced on this question.

However, the best performance in a one-person play I've ever seen was the late Sid Conrad playing Spencer Tracy in my play, TRACY.  The curtain went up and, within the first thirty seconds, you believed that you were watching Spencer Tracy.

Sid was a magnificent actor.

"Fully Committed" with Jason Graae. This was the funniest damn play I ever saw. My cheeks were sore when I left from smiling and laughing so much. Even the program was funny where Jason thanked and complimented the entire cast (which was only him).

TOD:

I've seen three one-person shows.  Two were Dame Edna and both were hilarious.

The third was my first.  It was at Ford's Theater in Washington DC and it was a special night during which time the play was supposed to be filmed.   It is my recollection that it was "Give Em Hell, Harry" with Mr. James Whitmore.

I looked it up and found that it was, indeed, filmed, but in Seattle.

I then recalled that there were some technical difficulties during the performance I attended (all Attendees were invited and got in free of charge, by the way.)  We had been there two hours and hadn't gotten through Act 1.  My party and I left for other amusements.

My thinking is they couldn't sort out the technical stuff at Ford's and decided to re-try it in Seattle.  This was in the Fall of 1975 at the end of the show's run in D.C.

Post by: George on October 31, 2016, 11:30:47 AM
Do Spalding Grey's monologues qualify for the TOD?  If so, I'd include them as well.

I saw Spalding Grey here in Olympia years ago.  He's definitely on my list of the best.  Otherwise, I'll include:

Seen Live:
Avery Brooks in Paul Robeson (on Broadway in 1995...one of the BEST theatrical experiences of my life!)
Dame Edna live in Seattle
Frank Ferrante in Groucho, A Life in Revue
Hal Holbrook, Mark Twain Tonight!
I saw Lily Tomlin live, but it wasn't The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.  It was a solo act, but I don't know if it was an actual "show."  But she was incredible.

On TV/video:
John Leguizamo (a couple of shows, I forget which)
Anna Deveare Smith (a couple of shows...ditto ::) )
Elaine Stritch, At Liberty

Audio only:
Bea Arthur, Bea Arthur on Broadway: Just Between Friends
Patrick Stewart, A Christmas Carol (I bought the audio recording of this for my sister and it's fantastic)

Did my banking, then noticed that one of the rear tires was nearly flat - I've been procrastinating like crazy about buying the two rear tires that I've known were bad for the last two months - but this was REALLY low, so I went and put gas in the motor car and air in the tire, then went directly to the gas station where I've gotten tires before - I'd been there two months ago so had my quote and I left the car there and it should be ready in about an hour.

The one new tire I had to buy last June was low last Monday when I was at Walmart.  Since I was very close to the point of purchase - the Tire Barn - I drove over there.

They fixed it without charge.....it seems I had run over a sheet rock nail.....who knows where who knows when...

But I may have written about this last week when it occurred.

BK, have you looked at the price of tires at Costco?  I bought some there last year and they were less expensive than other places that I'd looked.  Of course, you save more when you buy them four at a time, but still it's something to consider the next time you need to buy tires. :)

Post by: bk on October 31, 2016, 05:07:55 PM
As if the passenger side rear tire wasn't already bad, the two nails in it certainly didn't help matters, and I think we all know where those undoubtedly came from considering the morons doing the construction work around here.  When I parked I did a sweep of the ground to make sure there were no nails there.  Two new tires and it's already riding ever so much better.

My cousin Sue Ellen, ehose poems include one called "The Ghosts in Grandma's House," sent me this photo of her mother, my aunt Dorothy, and her brother Bob shoveling snow outside the house at 711 Tenth Avenue around 1945.  It looked scarier then.  Now it has that nice aluminum siding.


Now THAT is a haunted house.

But you should bond well with 3 of the cast members.  Vibes it is a smooth transition when you can rehearse withe entire cast.
