Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Kritzerland at Vitello's 118, and now it is time for you to post until the 118 cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PAGODA!
-
Great pictures, BK and congrats on the successful show!
-
I'm now off to bed so that I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed to celebrate Olympia's Pride!
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
BK, the show sounds great. I'm with DR TCB, it did not register with me that the show was last night. Oy!
-
I slept badly last night. There were many factors besides my general heath: room temperature, anxieties, cats, brothers . . .
-
I have no plans today. I will take care of kitty cleanup, and then sit around contemplating my existence. Annabelle and Thatch have moved their daytimer sleeping location to the cool darkness under my bed, so I doubt I will see them all day.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Glad to hear that Kritzerland 118 went so well.
-
:)
-
Good morning, all.
-
Glad the show went well. Loved the photos. Any video?
-
Need yo get showered snd shaved for the fun ahead. Wish me well.

Happy June 4th!
-
How CAN it be June already?
-
I have no plans for today or tomorrow.
I know what I ought to do, and I know what I mean to do.
But, I think I'll just make a cup of coffee, sit on my porch and ponder things.
-
Jubilee!

Congrats to MR BK & Co.
-
I, too, have nothing that HAS to be done today - so I shall enjoy it.

Congrats on the success of last night's show, BK!
-
Good morning, all.

Sounds like a wonderful show, and great pictures. Hopefully, a video might pop up?
-
Well, it’s a beautiful Saturday morning.
I slept in, but now I need to eat something, get offen my ASS, and go out and mow the weeds.

TCB sez:
Oh no, I wouldn’t survive in that cramped space. Honestly, they couldn’t pay me enough.
The “loft” is 8’x16’ and my own setup in it is the single most cramped ever. And yet I pulled off the miracle of making everything within it work to my OCD’s satisfaction. That took time, and me going in early and working it alone, one piece and one cable and one inch at a time. There’s no hell on earth like when all six are in there doing it at the same time. So what started out as the worst spot (shhh, don’t tell anybody) is now the best. My own little corner, indeed.
-
I'm up, I'm up - two hours of sleep, I think. Oh well.
-
The entire show was filmed last night, so yes there will be videos at some point.
-
DR CHAS SMITH I couldn't tell from the photos - can you see the stage or do you work with a monitor?

My test this morning was negative again.

So far today I’ve done banking , Stopped by a garage sale with some success, checked out a new deli, and obtained excellent egg sandwiches for Vixdad and myself, met with a roofing guy and shook hands on an $18,000 roof, chimney cap and gutter deal

Yeah retirement is faaaaaaaaaar off

DR CHAS SMITH I couldn't tell from the photos - can you see the stage or do you work with a monitor?
Monitor - on the wall above guitars and bass, opposite the MD's keyboard. It's a new 4k screen, fed by a video camera that, in keeping with the '70s theme, must be from the '70s. The resulting image is B&W, and of such abysmal quality (no detail, no contrast, I glance over at it and often can't even tell that there are people against the background), that it doesn't meet the average standard of early kinescopes.
-
My test this morning was negative again.
Congratulations on your negativity
Idea: Richard Sherman and BK must write an uplifting song about DR Jrand71's negativity!

From Ginny:
The Midnight Library was a good discussion. And I think I missed a good one when we were in Michigan. It was a Joyce Carol Oates round table and, apparently, the overall consensus was not favorable. But sometimes the best discussions are of books we didn’t particularly like.
Thanks. I too liked The Midnight Library. I don't want to reread for a discussion. I agree sometimes the best discussions are with books we don't like, I just don't want to intentionally choose a book I won't enjoy ;D

From TCB:
And that is hard for me to understand. I never had any idea that there was such a thing as Jewish discrimination., until I was an adult. I know, stupid me, but I had no experience with it.
Not stupid, just lack of exposure which is kind of nice. I am guessing you were older before watching, or reading, A Gentleman's Agreement. I found some interesting facts in Wikipedia about the making of the film I was not aware of.
" Zanuck decided to make a film version of Hobson's novel after being refused membership in the Los Angeles Country Club, because it was assumed (incorrectly) that he was Jewish. Before filming commenced, Samuel Goldwyn and other Jewish film executives approached Darryl Zanuck and asked him not to make the film, fearing it would "stir up trouble". They also warned that Hays Code enforcer Joseph Breen might not allow the film to pass the censors, as he had been known to make disparaging remarks about Jews. There was also concern that Dorothy McGuire's character being divorced would offend the National Legion of Decency.
The role of Phillip Green was first offered to Cary Grant, but he turned it down. Peck decided to accept the role, although his agent advised him to refuse, believing Peck would be endangering his career. Jewish actor John Garfield agreed to play a lesser role in the film to be a part of it."
-
John Garfield may have had a smaller role, yet it was a very important one.
-
DR TCB am I correct that you did not answer your door at 2:00am?

Show was great.

In other news, I just nearly had a close encounter with a bear. Fortunately, he heard me coming with the lawnmower and darted across the driveway into the woods about 50 feet in front of me. Hey, I just had a great idea for the title of a musical.
-
Exeunt, pursued by bear.

It is fun to see bears when they are running away from you.

Kristi shot this yesterday evening when he first came around. It had been a while since we've had one here. I'm thinking at least a whole year.

Great photo. We never did get a good photo of any of our bears in Ashland.
-
I am very proud of my grand nephew. For the first time in three years he got a haircut to donate to make wigs for cancer patients.
-
Had an omelet at Mel's Drive-In. It was pretty okay. Then went to the nearby mall and looked around until it was time to come home.

A bear! WOW....we don't have bears in Indiana that I know of. Maybe we do and live at least one town over.

I love this black bear family in Asheville, NC. I love Simone and her babies.

Oh my DR CHAS SMITH. We have CCTV on either side of the stage, in the dressing rooms, in the green room, in the lobby, and on the railing of the pit.....and we have good cameras and screens.
La problema es - there is about a second and half delay from the action on the stage....

My brother in law came over and power washed the north side of my house.....the only side that ever really needs it....so that was nice.

I am glad to hear that DR VIXMOM is getting a new roof - for $18,000, it should go up and down like a convertible.

Good afternoon.
-
Wow. A bear in Phoenix would make the news. We panic when we see bears in Arizona.
-
I get raccoons in the backyard once in a while. Coyotes in the neighborhood sometimes. Once we had a javelina. I didn't see it, though.
-
Did Vixmom ever tell the IKEA story?

It would have been cool to see a javelina.
-

Not that I noticed.
-
I hope Vixdad's appointment went well yesterday.
-
I've been dozing on and off for most of the afternoon. I hope I don't continue to do so at the play.
-
Dozing is good.
-
Yes he is DR JANE.
-
I didn't hear the IKEA story from DR VIXMOM either.
-
DR GINNY we are having very nice weather here in the Middle West....I can only hope that it continues.
-
I shall have to investigate what is a javelina.
-
They kind of look like wild brown pigs, but they are not really related to pigs. Usually when you see a javelina, you see the back end of it as it runs away from you.
I've seen them out in the wild -- never in town, but I've heard they are here. We're always excited to see one -- as long as it just looks at us or moves away. Kinda like rattlesnakes.
-
I have an IKEA story, but it's probably not nearly as good as Vixmom's story.

Yes, DR JRand, it could stay like this all summer as far as I’m concerned.

Back from seeing a show entitled The Desperate Hours. Tricky play to do. Let's just say it was lacking desperate and thrills - clarity is everything in a thriller like this and it also has to be cast perfectly. Home invasion is very timely.

I have never seen A GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT..

You are correct. I did not answer the door, but I also didn’t sleep for the rest of the night. I kept expecting to hear glass breaking.

This evening, I went to Red Robin and had the Red Robin Gourmet Cheeseburger and fries.

I also tried their new (temporary?) Cheesy Bacon Fondue.

What do you dip in the liquid? Come to think of it, what is the liquid?
-
Well, I am going to go read.
-
It was all very messy and quite tasty.
What do you dip in the liquid? Come to think of it, what is the liquid?
The liquid was called a fondue, but it was a cheese sauce with bacon.
-
I dipped my fries in it, and that was pretty good.
-
When I tried to dip my burger in it, the bun was kind of falling apart, so I asked for a spoon and spooned the cheese on my burger.
-
That helped, but still didn't make it any less messy.
