Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 126% and heading to the finish line, and now it is time for you to post until the 126% cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: INSPIRIT!
-
Welcome forty-one GUESTS. Go grab something fun from our Indiegogo campaign.
-
I had no idea that Edward Albee wrote a play version of LOLITA.
-
He did - huge flop. Donald Sutherland as Humbert.
-
Interestingly, it now says we have forty-six hours left. I'm not sure how that can be, actually. I'm not strong on math but something seems very off to me. The other day when I counted the days, we absolutely ended on Friday. But now it looks like Saturday, which is a real big problem as she of the Evil Eye will be here and I'm not going to be able to go during the last hours of the campaign. We'll see what it says tomorrow, but it's really looking like Saturday now.
-
Which is infuriating because I've been building us to Friday.
-
Maybe they just haven't adjusted yet. I know that they alerted me when we were seventy-two hours away and when that alert arrived seventy-two hours took us to Friday. Baffling, unless they haven't updated the hours yet.
-
Yep, that seventy-two hour notice came the morning of the 12th. That means that the morning of the 13th should have been forty-eight hours, which means this morning at eleven-thirty we should be at twenty-four hours. I just don't get it - at all. I just hope and pray it's Friday.
-
At least you didn't get put in FB jail. That certainly would have put the kibosh on things.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
:)
-
Good morning, all!

I had a lot of dreams last night, now mostly forgotten. I had a long one in a building much like an academic building, but I have no memory of what occurred. My last dream was abouit a plan to stage a plethora of plays by contemporary Irish playwrights, all of which were very black comedies filled with bloodshed, dismemberment, and outrageous comedy.
-
I have no plans at all today, so I think I will tidy up my worktable.
-
DR vixmom, the tale of the traveling CD hasd a happy ending. Wonderful!

TCB asked:
Herman’s SO = significant other?
Social outcast?
Sorrowful orphan?
Slightly offensive?
Am I getting close?
I meant the first. I like her. I think she’s funny.

Good morning to all

It's incredible that the Go-Go place doesn't place a clear countdown clock on every page -- at least during the last several days, and AT LEAST clearly in the face of the owner of the campaign. What in the HELL?
EDIT: Besides, it's part of that little thing we call "marketing". Keeps attention focused on the campaign, and helps keep excitement up.
Criterion does this perfectly during their two semiannual 24-hour flash sales. You know EXACTLY how long you have to get an order in, providing the goods you want are still available. So, same thing, really.
We have the technology!
-
We are back at the theeder this evening, yet again, for one callback and a few more new auditions.
Just a few people, should only take an hour or so.
We're still short on MEN, surprise surprise. I'm thinking I might have to renege on my promise to DR Jrand71, and drop a hint to my director that there are rumored to be MEN just a few states west of here...
-
:)
That's excellent. I suppose someone has those available for a price, but I'd sure like to be able to walk into a store and grab a platter of them locally on my way to the par-tay.
-
Good morning!

Great story, DR vixmom! Glad the CD finally arrived!
-
Congrats on reaching 126%, BK!
-
I forgot to mention how compelling, and emotionally draining, DR vixmom's story about the package turned out to be.
We need a top notch playwright to bring it to life on the stage.
I daresay, if Tolstoy had lived in our lifetime he would have done justice to this epic, and that other one he spent so much time on would be but a footnote on a Wikipedia page.
Verdi might have said the HELL with Falstaff, I'm tackling this one.
Sadly, we have lost Julee Cruise, but if David Lynch were inspired to guide composer Angelo Badalamenti in formulating a ... Postal Symphony?
Hey, you never know.
-
Don't go away! I might have a few more of those.

I don't know how many of you may have seen the Amazon Prime Day commercial. I saw it a few times up to, and through, the 12th. Yesterday, the last day, the damned commercial played every single commercial break of the pogramming I was watching regardless of station.
Drove me crazy. They only had ONE ad, so it was highly annoyning.
-
So, my optometrist recommended me to my HMO ophthalmologiust for cataract evaluation. That office just called. They will try to get me inb next month, otherwise it's Nov. 1. WTF? My HMO asks why, on a scale of 10, the chance I would recommend them to anew patient is a 5. I should have said 0.

Last night I watched the first hour of the Powell-Pressburger Oh Rosalinda!, their cold war update of Strauss' operetta Die Fledermaus. What a weird film.

Wow. I'm not even aware of that one.
-
Ah I have seen that version of Oh, Rosalinda! and it is indeed.....weird....but not without its charms.
-
I have a check signed by Sammy Cahn.....that I bought on EBAY for $10......I wonder where it is
-
I am glad DR VIXMOM got her CD.
-
Last night's performance was very good and the audience was most enthusiastic......
We had 12 single tickets left.....and I think tonight is sold out.
-
Saturday has about 20 tickets left.
-
DR CHAS SMITH keep yore handz offen my mens.
-
That Sammy Cahn check sounds like a nice souvenir, JRand.

DR John, I love the beautiful tiara and corsage on your beautiful mother.
-
DR Vixmom, your tales never cease to amuse :))
-
I wish I could tell stories with equal humor to DR Vixmom.
-
Oh, and congrats that the package has finally arrive.
-
From DR John:
I hope you like the CD as much as we liked the odyssey of said CD.
Ditto!

That's so cool!
-
128%!!
-
Woot! Good news.
-
I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep, maybe.
-
Ooh, must check our percentage and see if our closing time has adjusted.
-
I was hoping it would be the right time, Indiegogo-wise, but it says 37 hours left, which makes no sense on any level whatsoever because it means we end in the afternoon on Saturday, when I started the campaign on a Wednesday at eleven-thirty. My fear is that it's screwed up and we WILL end tomorrow. There's no way to contact anyone there either.
-
I'm lousy at math, too, and I'm doing this in my head, but I get a totally different end time:
At noon Pacific time on Thursday, they say there are 37 hours left.
That's what was on my screen, too, at 3 pm Eastern.
So, jumping ahead 24 of those hours takes us to Friday noon for BK.
Add the remaining 13 hours (37 - 24 = 13) and that puts it at 1:00 am Saturday, i.e. late Friday night.
Yes? No?
-
I thought I knew how to tell time - now I'm not so sure.
-
Well, I'd rather have that than Saturday, frankly. No one will be up but we'll know the tale a couple of hours prior.
-
Either way, it doesn't get us to an 11:30 ... on ANY day. How can that be?
-
Maybe the countdown is on GMT??
;)
-
No, the only explanation is that it's on IST. Indiegogo Stupid Time.
-
We had some nice action in the morning hours, but now it is quietly quiet. Need more action, baby.
-
But not the kind of action on Action's mother's bed.
-
Or is it mattress?
-
I think it's mattress. But I'm supposed to be getting out of here soon, so here I go.
-
No, the only explanation is that it's on IST. Indiegogo Stupid Time.
I like it.

Full day with Mom so far. Met with her financial agent, then picked Mom up for lunch and some shopping. Yes, and a trip to Graeter’s. She wanted lemon sorbet. I had a scoop of delicious peach and a scoop of brown butter bourbon pecan, which was only okay.
-
Ivana Trump, the orange one’s first wife, has died.
-
This day has seemed like a Friday.
-
Ivana Trump, the orange one’s first wife, has died.
Oh, my. I wonder what happened.
-
I just washed my hair, and I can't do a thing with it.
-
So far I have only seen the news, not the cause. She was 73.
-
BK. I see you wrote about a secret link to a secret perk which I'm sure I can't possibly afford, but the curiosity is killing me
-
I just washed my hair, and I can't do a thing with it.
What the heck is that!
-
I washed my hair and got soap in my left eye. At least the stinging has finally stopped.
-
DR Jane - a torturous hair net, so far as I can tell.
-
LOL
-
Just had some nice action - I think we're probably ten bucks away from 130% - I don't understand how we're not over 130% actually. We hit 129% a while ago and we just had about three hundred bucks contributed. Meanwhile, for anyone who's interested, here's the link for the SECRET perk (shhhh). https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/2762941/x/9165600?secret_perk_token=e4da92ae
-
Just looked at the secret perk.
On my way out to rob a bank.
-
130%
-
And another computer freeze and reboot.
-

;D

130%
Congratulations!
-
One (1) - count 'em - (1) man gained.
That makes two. Three to go.
There's another who couldn't make it tonight, but he sounds like a contender. We shall see.
-

Sorry.

Good, and fingers crossed for the three to go.
-
I still need a cellist, but I've got two months to fill that chair and that shouldn't be a problem.
-
The 130% is great, and there's a day plus (?) to go.
Did Dear Lurker Iris get back from the bank yet?
-
131%!
-
The bank was closed.
☹️

Exciting news on the campaign front.

The excitement is mounting.

A drum roll and a cymbal crash.

Good night, friends.

Good night, Singdaw.

Clamato post 105!

I’ve started The Maid, which came highly recommended. It’s starting a little slowly.
-
Met up with a couple of friends from years gone by. We had dinner on the river. Fried and grilled seafood on the deck. The heat was actually bearable. It was lovely.
-
I had grilled whitefish with boiled shrimp and fried oysters on the side. Great stuff.
-
I’m beginning to fade.
-
Good night, all.
-
Loved the Secret Perk.
Wish I could indulge, but practicality says to be more sober about such things.
-
I cannot find a damn thing to watch. Perhaps I'll finish episode three but I have to figure out how to get to the main sequence - then it will be easy to finish.
-
We've gone up five percent today - that's really good and I'm hoping we even go further before the end of the evening.
-
What a wonderfully delightful secret perk.
Good luck, somebody! It's a treasure.
-
The theeder was sold out again tonight.....full of folks. Lots of first timers to the barn.
Big laughs and heavy mitts.
We had TWO stand ins on....and they both did okay.....hopefully one of our regulars will be back tomorrow and if not, by Saturday.
I said all of my words in the right order and found my light and there were many laughs.....so I did okay.
As Madame Rose says: I guess I just wanted to be noticed.
-
Do we really think anyone will actually take the secret perk? When thinking about doing it, my thought was probably not, but I've been surprised at every turn during this campaign.
-
Good luck to DR CHAS SMITH on the manhunt.
-
Continued vacation fun for DR JOHN G.

BIG Indiegogo vibes for MR BK.

Maybe several people can go in together and divie up the goods...equitably, of course. :)
-
Of course.
-
I emailed our two biggest contributors, just to make sure they saw it. I almost didn't, but I figure it couldn't hurt.
-
Congratulations, Bruce, on the continuing campaign.
-
What happened with today?
-
The GoGo winding down does not mean the posting should wind down.
-
I’m sorry.
-
I just can’t do these posts alone.
-
Our power was out this evening.
-
It started at around 6:30 pm this evening.
-
The sun is shining and there was no wind.
-
So, I figured that someone had struck a pole.
-
But the power was off for a little over two hours.
-
George in absentia again. We don't need no stinking absentia.
-
We need George.
-
I took a nap.
-
Now is not the time for vacation or napping or Phase Nineteen.
-
Now is a time for posting.
-
Well, we have it covered.
-
It's been such an amazing posting week, so no complaints.
-
Other than where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
I can’t figure out what has caused the increase in posts.
-
Vixmom’s IKEA story was responsible fora couple of days of posts.
-
So, if someone near by could start stealing packages off her porch.
-
That should be good for a few long days.
-
Oh well! The witching hour is here.
-
Good night and good morning.
-
And still no George. By George, I think he's in absentia.
-
New notes are up.

Up are new notes.
