ASK BK DAY - Why did Roz Kind drop out of the show?

She was struggling with allergies at all her rehearsals and she got into her head about it and that was that - at sound check she was fine but she was, by that point, a complete wreck and it was best for all of us to move on.
Title: Re: THE DAY FROM HELL
Post by: George on July 25, 2018, 01:35:29 AM: Today, I have three, count 'em, THREE different meetings, and I think the only time I have for my lunch break is right at noon, which is the worst time to go anywhere because SO MANY other people go right at noon, too. I don't like to go until after at least 1:15. By then, most places are manageable. And I don't want to have to wait until after my last meeting is scheduled to be done at 4:00. But I'll go when I have time. I could have a snack at noon to tide me over until later. I've done that before. I'll bring something, just in case.

I haven't read it and hadn't planned to. Maybe I will now. Reading the blurb it certainly appears to also have Last Starfighter elements.

It almost feels like by actually referring to the work as a character being inspired by the work, it may be a way some folks get around copyright.

I remember an episode of one of the LAW AND ORDERs that used plot points from "Strangers on a Train" and seemed to get away with it by saying the perpetrators had been inspired (gotten their criminal idea) from having watched the movie "Strangers on a Train."

Post by: FJL on July 25, 2018, 08:52:01 AM: Looks like there was a decision in the case of "The Shape of Water" and the Paul Zindel play from all those years ago. the judge found only minor similarities.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44951050

Some commenters (no one I heard of) are wondering if there might be a basis for the Zuindek estate filing their case overseas, like in Europe where they say authors rights are broader.

I guess no one can deny the facts of what's actually similar (like even the laundry basket she tries to take the creature away in), but only a judge can determine if that gives rise to a claim under the law.

Post by: Druxy on July 25, 2018, 10:52:06 AM: Nice review in Audio File Magazine for my one-woman play, LOMBARD, portrayed by Kathleen Godwin:

Narrator Kathleen Godwin breathes life into this spirited, richly detailed play about actress Carole Lombard, that begins on the eve of her death in a plane crash. Lombard was known as a screwball comedienne-movie star who had the vocabulary of a sailor. As Lombard, Godwin speaks directly to listeners, adding intimacy. She also talks to herself; for example, when she rambles, she utters, "Shut up, Carole." Listeners will relish hearing Hollywood-insider details such as the revelation that Lombard's husband, Clark Gable, was a tightwad. Sound effects add authenticity. Most moving are the lovely transitions to the past, denoted by a few musical notes, when Lombard shares childhood memories. Despite its sad ending, Lombard's story is a pleasurable listening experience. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]

I do know that movies are different animals than the books that they're based on, and I've read other books after seeing the movies, but I'd heard that this is a good book in general, so I'm looking forward to it.

Title: Re: THE DAY FROM HELL
Post by: bk on July 25, 2018, 04:21:26 PM: The Wacky Noodles with ground beef was a rousing success. I made about seven ounces of noodles and about six ounces of ground beef. I had a nice helping but realized if I ate all of it it would be pushing the calories boundary - so Grant came over. I had a small second helping and he had the rest - two large helpings. So that means I had about three ounces of pasta and the ground beef, so that was fine. It really was good.

Is NY extra pretty after Thanksgiving and decorated for Christmas? We were there in December years ago when we first moved to NJ but only during the day.

The link says something about a limited run to October 28.

I've been writing for the character in our show who's trying to pick up someone today. So what I thought he might say to that is "The city is always extra pretty when you are here." :)

Post by: George on July 25, 2018, 04:48:14 PM: So, this happened: back when BK mentioned the Swingle Singers' CD that he was listening to, I ordered this version of Jazz Sebastian Bach (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000046WP/) on June 18, 2018. Including tax and shipping, it only cost $6.80 and was expected to arrive by July 19 from England. Well, it didn't. So, last Friday (July 20), I sent an e-mail to the seller through Amazon saying that I never received the CD and could I get another one. They replied saying that they're very sorry and will refund my money. That's fine with me. I reordered another copy at slightly less than my original order ($6.39 instead of $6.80). Well, my original order just arrived today!! :o
Title: Re: THE DAY FROM HELL
Post by: George on July 25, 2018, 04:48:27 PM: So, now what should I do? Do I contact the original seller and tell them that I actually finally received the CD for which they just yesterday refunded my money? Or do I keep it and the second copy and not worry about it? It came all the way from England and only cost a grand total $6.80 USD. That's really not enough to worry about, right?
Title: Re: THE DAY FROM HELL
Post by: George on July 25, 2018, 04:52:26 PM: Otherwise, I am really enjoying this CD! :D

Oh oh. I had better ask about this. They were the ones who suggested late Nov or Dec for a shared birthday celebration. Thanks for pointing out this fact.

Yesterday was shopping and banking day, but I didn't do either, so I did both this morning....that's done for awhile...

It's still a bit difficult because my Mom always met me and held the screen door open for me while I brought the bags in....miss her.....

Vibes of peace.

Of course, not exactly where it was supposed to take place. Since it’s an outdoor venue and all, and it’s raining.

But this ANNIE cast sounds damn good. Likewise, the 10-piece band. Would that it were the original fifteen.
