I cannot believe this end of month WUSSBURGERING. Most unseemly.

I have caught the wussburgeritis bug myself. Well maybe it is a sinus infection, but I am battling the sinus infection while trying to finish up projects and study for finals. Add on top of that the past week I have had 3 hour rehearsals Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri, and a concert yesterday and another one today at 3 with Don Neuen. I tell you I have no free time! I have been resting my voice quite a bit and drinking lots of water. After tomorrow's concert, things should calm down a bit.

Post by: Joey on May 01, 2005, 12:12:47 AM: I have a bit of good news/bad news. On my free evening Wednesday I went down to Brown County (A very hilly wooded part of south-central Indiana) for a job interview at a summer camp. I got an email Friday telling me I got the job and I am really excited about working there because it seems to be the perfect fit for me. The bad news is I will have very limited internet access so most correspondence this summer will have to be via email unless I spend a couple of weekends at home. One last bit of good news is you will have me more regularly after next week until the 28th when I go down for pre-camp training.

DRJOEY congratulations on your summer employment. Brown County in summer will be lovely!

70 years ago this week, Miss Frances Farmer was in Russia as the US representative of The Voice of Action newspaper, viewing the May Day festivities and more or less letting them know what she thought of the whole enterprise, which wasn't much.

Post by: Jrand73 on May 01, 2005, 06:29:20 AM: Hmmmmmmm.....the Brothers Four and the Chad Mitchell Trio are great folk favorites of mine.

And although they don't technically apply as a group, I will add The Everly Brothers.

We had an old album of theirs called Two Sides or something like that....and the Warner Bros. early Stereo was Great!!! They sang some great old songs, and I loved to hear them sing "My Grandfather's Clock."

The music is wonderful and the story is intriguing. And don't forget the lovely Ms. Joan Freeman is in it also! And ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE co-star, Scott Peters, has a small role at the end of the film as an army man.

Post by: Matt H. on May 01, 2005, 08:15:36 AM: As I said yesterday, I love ADVISE AND CONSENT and BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK and am thrilled that the transfers live up to the greatness of the films. I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Poor Charles Laughton. By the time A&C opened, he was in serious decline health-wise, and as he passed into and out of consciousness, he had it in his head that he had been nominated for an Oscar for the film. Amazing that none of the high powered cast garnered Oscar nominations for this film.

My sister and her family sent Mom money to take us out for dinner afterward, so we're going to Caffe Anticoli, a Dayton favorite for more than 70 years.

Samantha Eggar is beautiful, but I think she needed a stronger director than Charles Walters to be funny rather than irritating. She seems to have caught the Maggie-McNamara cutes.

Post by: Jrand73 on May 01, 2005, 09:39:56 AM: BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK is another DVD to put on my list. Anne Francis and John Ericson.....pre Honey West....as brother and sister. And again I have to say that the fate of Anne's character floors me....shocking.

I love Anne Francis....her television work....and other movies including DREAMBOAT and THE SATAN BUG.

Some friends and I saw her do the stage play STEEL MAGNOLIAS in Chicago MANY years ago, BJWB. She played M'Lynn, and her last scene when she is talking about the death of her daughter brought the house down....grown men were crying! And she is still (although enhanced) a beauty....and that voice.

Post by: elmore3003 on May 01, 2005, 10:03:40 AM: Well, I'm back from the office on 14th Street and a session about the Act One Finale to BABES IN TOYLAND: I believe the finale as it currently exists, like the Act Two Finale, is a later rewrite for the amateur-stock and German productions, post-1903, and I needed to wend my way through the orchestra score, which is not entirely in Victor Herbert's hand, with my amanuensis Tom Murray and the 1903 copyright libretto in an attempt to get back to the original. It was a noble failure. Our next stop is the Victor Herbert Collection at the Library of Congress to look at the unidentified manuscripts in the hopes we'll identify a few items.

It was a weird night of dreams as well. My chief antagonist on the Herbert/Kern project was a major factor in one of them, and that was an ill omen. I also dreamed aboout Goodspeed and THE BOY FRIEND, so it was a relief when the alarm went off at 6:30 this morning.

Now to work on my desk.

I went to check it out for the first time today and it was like a zoo. Not only that but they were no parking spots in the parking lot. :(

I am curious to head back and try the cafe. Has anyone tried any coffees from a McCafe? I'm really curious about the mocha fraps and the iced drinks.
Title: Re:THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY
Post by: George on May 01, 2005, 11:18:58 AM: The operas that I ushered for last night were just okay. It was a local production. The singers themselves were pretty good (the chorus was rather small and didn't do much acting...they all just stood there and sang) but the physical side of the production (sets, lights, etc.) was very simple. The rather small audience that was there did enjoy it. They responded quite favorably to the casts and the performances, so I'm sure the performers were happy. Nothing worse than a dead audience. :-\

After that, I came home and watched the DVD to BK's very own What If?, starring MBarnum's hunk-a-hunk-a, Paul Haber. It's just so much fun! BK, what's the possibility of Kritzerland Records releasing a complete (if not original ;) ) cast recording?? It's a wonderful show with wonderful songs. It deserves to be heard by more people!

Post by: Matt H. on May 01, 2005, 02:23:15 PM: I've had a busy afternoon of watching shows and films on my DVR: two episodes of NUMBERS, the rest of BERSERK, and all of GUNGA DIN.

NUMBERS continues to show promise. BERSERK! was even worse than I remembered it being since so much of it are circus acts. There's probably about 45 minutes of plot there. I was going to burn a DVD of this after eliminating the circus acts. but decided there weren't enough campy lines to justify burning a DVD.

GUNGA DIN. Well, what can one say? One of the great action-adventure movies ever made. If one ever wondered where Steven Spielberg and George Lucas got ideas for the INDIANA JONES films, just take a gander at GUNGA DIN.

And S. Woody White left the room, too - that venison must be simmering away in a sauce made of the WUSSBURGER berry.
No, I decided to take a nap.

We had venison a couple of nights ago. Last night was chicken. I think tonight will be a good night for beef chili.

They're still reporting about Jessica, the runaway bride.

Post by: JoseSPiano on May 01, 2005, 03:44:09 PM: Good Afternoon!

8:00 - Alarm goes off.
8:00:05 - I hit the Snooze bar.
8:09 - Alarm goes off again.
8:09:10 - I hit the Snooze bar again.
8:18 - Alarm goes off again.
8:18:06 - I move the switch on my clock radio over to "Radio"
8:18:07-9:06 - I listened to NPR from the Church of the Warm Comforter.
9:07 - I get out of bed and start moving things around in order to clear a paths for moving the boxes.
9:18 - My friend, Mark, calls to confirm that I'm moving stuff into storage and ask if I can pick him up. Whew!!! -When I saw the Caller ID, I panicked for a sec.
9:46 - I arrive at Mark's place and we head over to U-Haul.
10:04 - We leave the U-Haul place with the 10-foot moving van/truck.
10:15 - We start loading boxes into the truck.
12:05 - We finish loading all the stuff into the truck. :)
12:15 - We start unloading everything at the U-Haul place.
2:08 - We finish loading everything at the U-Haul place, I go through the paperwork to return the truck, and we head back into the Fan to find a place to get some brunch/lunch.
2:25 - We settle into our patio area table at Three Monkeys for brunch. We both order their "Tri-Pork Omellette" - filled with bacon, Virginia ham, and Andouille sausage, with provolone and mozzarella cheese. And we each order a "Bloody Monkey" - which happens to come in a tall Iced Tea glass. Quite the kick, and a lingering taste of Old bay - quite good.
2:50 - Both Mark and I realized just how much vodka was in our "Bloody Monkeys". ;)
3:15 - After catching up, and finishing our very generous portions, we walk back over to my place - I parked there. En route, we "pick up" my roomie. I drive Mark home, and then I drive my roomie to work.

Once I got back to the apartment, I changed out of my dusty clothes and walked over to the Byrd Park for their annual "Arts in the Park" function. Lots of vendors this year - looks a lot bigger than last years "AitP". I ended up buying two lithographs - from pen & ink drawings - of two Richmond landmarks: The Sauer's Vanilla sign, and Stella's (my favorite (Greek) restaurant). I walked around for about an hour, and I even took some pics which I'll post later. Then it was over to Carytown to pick up a copy of the New York Times and Richmond Times-Dispatch. Then over to Bev's Ice Cream - waffle cone, 1/2 Mocha Almond, 1/2 Heath Bar. YUM!!!

And now I'm back here resting my feet...

And reading and posting...

*It was fun turning in the truck I rented. The total mileage was: Four. Even the clerk laughed. ;) And I didn't even have to worry about stopping at the gas station.

I'm sooo glad I went over to Byrd Park. Lots of people, and it's always fun seeing what arts and crafts people have for sale. And I'm sooo glad I picked up to of those Richmond prints. I've eyed her work for years, and I figured, I might as well... So.. I'll post pics later.

So...

Now I'm back here resting my feet. In a little bit, I'm gonna take a shower, and then it's massage time!!! Hoo and Ray!!

And then "Desperate Housewives" and then maybe Barcode for karaoke. -And I'm thinking I'm going to sing tonight too!

I'm probably going to end up crashing here on the couch so that Steve doesn't have to wait up for me tonight, so to speak. Tomorrow morning, I'll finish cleaning and packing up the few things I have left here, and then...

Post by: Ginny on May 01, 2005, 05:46:21 PM: We're back from a fun, fun, fun afternoon seeing the Taylors (Andy and his lovely wife Alet) in The Producers. This was anything but an "off-kilter" group of performers. I think the reviewer for Dayton City Paper is just a little too full of his own importance. Our seats were excellent (much more comfortable than the balcony seat I had at the St. James last October). I was appalled, though, at the people who felt they had things S-O-O-O-O important afterward that they had to leave during the curtain call.

We then had a wonderful dinner at Caffe Anticoli. Here's what was eaten:

Mom: House salad with sun-dried tomato dressing, crab cakes
DH Richard: House salad with bleu cheese, veal saltimbocca, neapolitan gelato with chocolate & raspberry drizzles
Me: House salad with sun-dried tomato dressing, vegetable manicotti, raspberry gelato "enrobed" in Belgian chocolate (which I could not finish)

We shared a carafe of nice Liebfraumilch and Richard and I had coffee.

Irritating, not at all in my opinion. Vulnerable and appealing is how I would describe her.

I recorded some records to make CDs for people that I know. The one I did today (and the last one) is "GIANTS IN JAZZ: Louis Armstrong." I recorded all three vinyl albums, broke them up into individual tracks, made a booklet and endcard, burned the CDs...it's all done!! The other records that I've already recorded are "P.D.Q. Strikes Back" (also three records) and "Porgy and Bess with Ray Charles and Cleo Laine" (two records). Now I can return all the records to the guy that I borrowed them from!

Now that that's all done, I'm watching the special 2-hour "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." After that will be "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy."

Title: Re:THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY
Post by: George on May 01, 2005, 07:38:29 PM: A lot of the interpersonal relationships have been developing and changing since the beginning of the show, but it's not like "Desperate Housewives" where you need to have been watching it to understand what's going on. Each episode is its own self-contained story.

Probably the only things you might need to know is that in the first episode, the main character, Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo), met and slept with Patrick Dempsey's character, not knowing that he would be her instructor at the hospital. They now are starting a relationship. Also, her mother, played by Kate Burton, has Alzheimer's and doesn't really remember her at all. Her mother used to work at the hospital where she's working, so a lot of the staff knew her mother, but none know that she has Alzheimer's. I don't know when she'll start telling people...or why she hasn't yet.

Post by: TCB on May 01, 2005, 09:28:26 PM: This afternoon I attended a performance of THE NERD. The cast was uniformly quite good. I thought the first act was extremely funny, but I found the second act rather tedious. I guess I am just not much of a Larry Shue fan.

It's going to be a long night...

Post by: bk on May 01, 2005, 10:00:14 PM: Speaking of royalty checks, I do hope that Pardner Pogue is on top of this opera version of The Fly by Howard Shore - supposedly based on the screenplay by Pogue and Cronenberg, only everyone's name has been mentioned except Pogue. Perhaps a call to Ye Olde Agent should be in order.

Favorite guy groups: The Osmond Brothers, who are still groovy.

DR Sandra has several cds that BK produced that have the Plaids, and they are all swell indeed. I especially like the Ballad of Sweeney Todd sung by the Plaids.

Post by: Jrand73 on May 01, 2005, 10:25:25 PM: Favorite Otto Preminger is very difficult.

But probably my MOST watched Preminger DVD right now is BONJOUR TRISTESSE, for the cast, the location, the story, and the music.

Everyone is very good - and I love Jean Seberg in this movie. I don't even mind David Niven much - Deborah Kerr is beautiful and outstanding and the French blonde girl is terrific. I love the photography and the music!

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING looks great and Suzy Parker as Greg is one of the worst performances EVER! In the book of course, her suicide is prompted by learning of a gay affair between her playwright and a young actor.

While I was away we seem to have had an ATTACK OF THE WUSSBURGERS.

Post by: Charles Pogue on May 01, 2005, 11:34:58 PM: I need to find out about that Opera...given that my screenplay was based on material that Fox owns, I'm not sure what my separation of rights are. But if it is based on our actual screenplay, I would think that I have some rights in the thing.

Post by: JoseSPiano on May 01, 2005, 11:39:37 PM: Good Evening!

I had a wonderful massage tonight. Just what I needed after today's moving activities. -Moving as in "moving", not "emotional". ;)

After a brief post-massage break, I headed over to Barcode - one of Richmond's "special interest" establishments. I ended up running into a couple of friends, and I even got up on the "stage" for karaoke. It took me a while to find a song. There were a few songs that I wanted to sing, but the DJ didn't have them in his collection. And then there were those songs that I knew, but didn't really want to perform. But, after some more browsing of the selections, it hit me! -Not the book of selections, but the song! In honor of my last "official" Sunday in Richmond, I chose Billy Joel's "Movin' Out". Very appropriate, dontcha think? And a couple of my friends even did some back-up dance moves for me. :)

I am no longer a Richmond Karaoke Virgin!

;D

So, now I'm back at my "old" apartment - and since I just came from the bar, I'm a bit "smoky" - ugh. I figure I'd crash here tonight just so that Steve can have his "space" tonight - he's had quite the busy weekend getting his new place set up. And I didn't want him to deal with me coming in late after he was in bed. So.. it's the couch for me tonight. I'll get up in the morning, finish cleaning, and I should be out by Noon! Yip and Pee! -Hmm.. I'm not sure I like the ring of that.

Post by: bk on May 01, 2005, 11:43:32 PM: Since it's based specifically on the Cronenberg film (i.e. your screenplay), I should think you'd at least be entitled to some sort of credit provision.

New notes soon.
