Well, you've read the notes, the clock was ticking as you read the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're just taking note of their favorite autographs so they can join in the discussion.

And the word of the day is: BLINKARD!

I think a Blin Kard is issued to Laplanders to enable the legal crossing of borders as they move reindeer herds to fresh pastures.

autographs. I'm not a collector but I do have autographs from the elusive Mr Guy Haines.

Cole Porter's on the playbill for Around the World In 80 Days.
And no I didn't ask him to sign it for me. I won it at an auction many years ago.

Good morning Michael. Have a great day.

And the word of the day is: BLINKARD!
Noah was a BLINKARD, and he sailed his ARK BLIND.

Sorry, but I've never collected autographs.

I've never seen a clock made of ticking. I suppose that, instead of being wound too tight, it could be woven too tight. But the only advantage I can think of is that, if it was an alarm clock, the ticking could cushion the blow when I hit the snooze button.

I shall return after work.

Good morning, all! I needed to have my hair cut three weeks ago, but I went to Ohio. This morning, I'm seeing my barber. After that, I have a day in the recording office, unpacking my shipment of last Monday, doing some edits, and regaining my bearings. After that, I see my doctor for a referral to a surgeon to lance and clean this abscess. Then, I collapse.
My former intern and houseguest Dylan is becoming more scattered and, since I'm currently quite uncomfortable with this abscess, he's irritating me to no end. Last night around 10 PM, he called from Tower Records to ask if I'd seen his checkbook (after earlier yesterday losing a bottle of pills and a stick of deodorant which he later found in his backpack). I hadn't, so he said he would be in soon. At 1:30 AM he walked in to announce he'd gone to a movie and lost his cell phone. I wasn't in bed before 2, and my hair cut is at 9 AM, so I've had around 5 hours sleep last night, and I'm ready to kill. He's out on Saturday, and I am now in countdown mode.
TOD: many notes from Mr Sondheim, who's such a voluminous writer that the autographs will never be worth much although the contents of the notes are fascinating!
A signed drawing by Georg Gershwin
Many signed books by authors such as Robert Kimball, Ethan Mordden, Anderson Farrell, and others
I lost my two most prized autographs in the 1970s before I moved to New York: letters from Benjamin Britten and Lotte Lenya.

TOD:
I don't collect autographs, but I have a few. Geraldine Fitzgerald's on a copy of the BROADWAY, BROADWAY Playbill, Laurane Neuman, Garret Morris and Michael O'Donohugh's on the SNL comedy album, and a post card from Lily Tomlin. I once had Marlo Thomas's on a copy of the FREE TO BE YOU AND ME book, but I gave that away.

Looks like the 2006 Festival of New Musicals at the Village Theater in the Seattle area (Issaquah, to be exact) will be from August 3-6, and the LAST STARFIGHTER presentation is currently scheduled for Friday, August 4 at 7:30 pm.
After we get back, we'd love to have the New York HHW contingent over for a simple foodfest here at our place. Is Sunday afternoon, August 13th good for the NY folk? If not, we can look at other dates.

I have quite a few autographs...I guess the one that means the most goes back to 6th grade. We were supposed to get a penpal or write to someone. I wrote to Lyndon Baines Johnson. Everyone laughed and said he wouldn't write back. I sent him a photo of me and my poodle Charlie. I got a very nice personal letter back from him.
In 2001 I was in Austin, TX for a seminar. I went to the LBJ library and asked if they by any chance had my letter in the archives....they did!! They were kind enough to give me a copy to go with the letter he sent in reply.
They told me how he always liked school kids and would sometimes go sit at the desk in the mock oval office in the Library/Museum when they were giving tours to surprise the kids. They said he spent hours writing back to any kids who wrote to him...and I was one of those kids. I received my letter from him in December 1972, a month before he died.
-
The letter I wrote was quite funny, actually. A part of it said "I bet you've never heard of Estherville, Iowa, but we've sure heard of you!"
-
Thursday morning greetings! It is so-o-o-o humid here.
-
I don't as a rule collect autographs, but I collect books and many of those are signed.
I'm staring right now in my office at a framed letter from H. Rider Haggard where he is declining an offer from a magazine publisher to write something for them because he has a couple of things already running in magazines...though not mentioned by name, one of those is his immortal "SHE", deduced from the dates and the magazine it is being serialized in.
Above that and above the prototype of Bowen's sword from DRAGONHEART is a framed picture of John Gielgud and his inscribed working copy of The Old Code which I wrote and which he recorded as the ghost of King Arthur in the film. It also has his little notations and acting notes on it.
I have a signed first edition of Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the autograph apparently has been pasted in on the seam of the end paper and is from someone's old autograph book. Also on this tipped-in page is the autograph of Michael Romanoff...I assume the famous Hollywood restauranteur.
I have couple of autographed Sabatini's, a Haggard, a Peter O' Toole autobio; Heston's diaries personally inscribed to me as well as his autobio. Edward Arnold's autobio. Several autographed P.C. Wren novels (he wrote Beau Geste) and one with a letter on his stationary tipped in. A couple of signed Talbot Mundy's. Several things inscribed by pals , Denny Miller, June Wilkinson, Harlan Ellison, and Mr. Bruce Kimmel.
Tons of signed books by various mystery and fantasy authors I collected. A signed Spartacus novel by Howard Fast. A Scaramouche poster signed by Janet Leigh.

Good Morning!
I woke up about half an hour ago not sure if I had to move my car this morning... I was pretty sure I was parked on the "right" side of the street, but then again... So I jumped out of bed, and hurried outside... Ah... I was on the "right" side... :)
However, now I'm up, but I suspect I shall be taking a nap sometime today... Or maybe just going back to bed in a few minutes. ;)

Good Day one and all!!

As for the Topic of the Day...
I have a few notes from Mr. Stephen Sondheim too, but I've actually lost track of where they are. I know I would not have thrown them away intentionally, but I'm afraid that they might have gotten mixed in with some "trash" during one of my moves. However, since I do have about 20 boxes o' stuff in storage... One never knows.
Otherwise, I have some Playbills and concert programs signed by various people. Strangely enough, whenever I'm working on a show, I tend not to collect autographs from my castmates. Even on the last day of Lestat, when everyone else was running around trying to collect signatures (most likely for e-Bay too!), I just wanted Hugh Panaro to sign my souvenir program. And that was that.
However, if a show I'm doing happens to be doing one of those BC/EFA fundraisers, and "selling" autographed posters, then I'll "buy" one of those to support the worthy cause rather than primarily to have the autographs.
Two programs that I have lost track of which I keep hoping to find someday: a program from the first National Symphony Concert I attended signed by pianist, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Andre Previn, and a Playbill of Biloxi Blues signed by almost everyone in the original Broadway cast except Matthew Broderick - I saw it in previews, a Wednesday matinee during my first high school trip up to NYC.
-
Cillaliz, I love that LBJ story! That is way cool!!
-
I have a few autographs... However my favorites are Matt Ashford's and The Chieftains. I met Paddy Moloney and Matt Malloy of the Chieftains when they were in concert in Minneapolis a few years ago. My knees were literally shaking when I met them. I have admired their music for a LONG, LONG time.
I have Matt's autograph on Deceit Preview flyer and STephanie got that for me and now the DVD... I have yet to meet him but perhaps someday. I have heard from those who have met him that is a classy gentleman and a very nice person.
-
I guess Mr. Sondheim does/did write a lot of letters. I have a couple of those as well, responses to my invitations to him to see my work, that he can't make it but with nice, polite (and in one case quite witty) and throughly reasonable excuses. But the last one is from over ten years ago. Who writes letters these days, after all?
My favorite, most treasured letter is from Joe Masteroff, who gave me a very helpful, reasonably detailed (although generally complimentary) explanation of where I had gone wrong on a particular project.
-
Good morning everyone.
We have a friend staying with us through the weekend. He's attending a musical theater teacher's conference/training for the next few days, so it's nice to have him in town. Later in the week we'll gain another house guest when one of Rodzinski's sisters comes for a visit.
-
through a good portion of the 1990s my good buddy Ron and I both collected autographs...many of them were obtained in person at the Ray Court's shows in North Hollywood, but the majority we got by writing to various and sundry celebs and semi-celebs, sending them photos to sign and return in a self-addressed, stamped envelope we supplied....Ron tended to go for the more well known classic stars as well as more current up and coming TV hunks...he had a pretty good track record of returns, some were pre-prints but many appear to be authentic!
I (surprise, surprise) went for the lesser known B movie and TV stars of years past...and a few up and coming TV hunks (they were always so willing!).
One of my favorite autographs is from Penny Singleton who also wrote me a very nice 4 page letter....if I remember, tonight I will scan a few of my favorite autographed photos for your viewing pleasure.
I did attempt to get autographs from all the major players in MELROSE PLACE....only Doug Savant responed with a real autograph...all of the others sent pre-prints, if they sent anything at all.
-
Although it's my day off, I've got a lot to do. I'm waiting on a call from the vet to find out when I can pick up Sir Walty. I've got laundry, cleaning, and I'm doing my best to make it to the gym every day. It's hard to be motivated in this heat- when I went yesterday the air conditioner was broken and being worked on so I couldn't stay very long.
-
I do also have an autographed photo of Mr. Bruce Kimmel, from his appearence on LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY...however, I don't believe I have ever gotten the autograph of Guy Haines!
-
Autographs... I think my most memorable experience was on my second trip to NYC when I saw Chicago which was starring at that time Bebe Neuwirth and Karen Ziemba. I loved the show and waited at the stage door for autographs. I got everyone but Bebe's because she exited out another door. :( Michael Beresse (sp?) was the understudy for Billy Flynn and had gone on that night. When I got his autograph he made a little joke about "who's this guy?" but I thought he was great and was pleased when he went on to star in Kiss Me Kate.
I also enjoyed getting Martin Short's autograph at Encore's Promises Promises, he was patient and took a photo with my friend and I. Said friend later went on to work in a Broadway PR office and worked directly with Mr. Short on Little Me.
-
Good morning!
Hot, muggy, miserable. We didn't get the showers they predicted for yesterday. Maybe they'll arrive today.
Typical July weather.

DR JRand, did you say the wrong name last night in mentioning that Bernard Slade had died? Didn't you mean Barnard Hughes? I hadn't read anything about the death of Bernard Slade.
Reading Barnard Hughes' obit in today's paper, I knew he had won a Tony, of course, but I had forgotten that he had won an Emmy for a guest appearance on LOU GRANT. Good for him! He never got enough credit as a superb character actor.
-
Exactly, DR MATTH. Hughes NOT Slade MR BK....sorry to send up the wrong balloon.

Did the butler do it? "'Death' Opens at Playhouse Tomorrow Night."
-
Hmmmm.....several....I USED to be an avid collector.
Mr Stephen Sondheim....photo and letter in response to a question.
Miss Frances Farmer...photo and letter.
Miss Allison Hayes....personalized autograph on a piece of paper & two nice handwritten cards....
-
And Sally Fraser...Gale Storm....and Miss Carroll Baker...all three personalized on photos from films or tv shows. Very nice....and a lobby card from BRIDGE TO THE SUN that Mr Michael Barnum had autographed for me by Miss Baker at one of the Courts shows.
-
I guess MR BK didn't get into the Mansfield box last night.
-
I also saw GRAND PRIX a few times on its first release....I think it was at the Cinerama Theatre and it was very LOUD!!! I have the soundtrack LP which I like....especially the "Overture".
-
Re GRAND PRIX. I remember as a kid thinking it was too long, but seeing the movie in a CInerama theater was stupendous.
I haven't bought the DVD yet. I saw that TCM was showing it this weekend at some point, and I've set my DVR to record it. After watching it again as an adult (have never seen it in all the years since seeing it in the 60s as a teenager completely uninterested in racing), I'll decide if I want to shell out $$$ on the DVD.
-
As for autographs, I have a very eclectic collection. From my youth I have folks like PAtty Duke, Brenda Lee, Bill Bixby, the Smothers Brothers. (Brenda Lee came through here in a tour of THE WIZARD OF OZ, and I went backstage to meet her. The others I got from publicists during their TV star days.)
Later on, I've gotten Ann Miller, Debbie Reynolds, Tony Randall, Christopher Meloni (several times), the original cast members of A CHORUS LINE who wrote the book ON THE LINE (a signing at the Drama Book Shop), Terrence McNally, and, most recently, Bruce Kimmel and Matthew Ashford.
-
Having lunch with friends today, but I'm still trying to make decisions about what to watch this afternoon.
I took a Hercule Poirot movie off the shelf - MURDER ON THE LINKS - which I've seen but have no recollection of as to the murderer. I may go with it this afternoon and early evening.
If any DVDs come in the mail (as they're supposed to), I may opt for one of them instead, say, THE BLACK SWAN.
-
Of course I also have a few from CD Producer, stage, screen, and television star, Mr Bruce Kimmel.
-
Perhaps JRand was referencing Julian Slade's passing of a couple weeks back.
-
Willie "Pops" Stargell was the guy I wrote to from gradeschool, in the same way Cillaliz wrote to LBJ. When he sent an autographed photo, it made me a Pittsburgh Pirates fan for life.
I also got Roddy McDowall's autograph when they gave him an honorary degree from Bowling Green. I asked him about his brief role as DJ Jr. in THE LOVED ONE, in fact.
-
Off to get cleaned up now for lunch date with friends.

FJL, August 13th is good for this New Yorker for a food and fun get together!

TOD - The very first show I saw in NYC was Cabaret at the Imperial Theatre in June, 1967. My souvenier program book is autographed by 4 of the 5 original cast members (all but Jill Haworth). I took the same program to Cincinnati's Music Hall when Joel Grey toured there in a revival about 20 years later and he signed it again. He was between the matinee and an evening performance and still had his MC makeup on.
Also, a program from a 1977 Middletown Symphony concert in which the featured performer was Cy Coleman. He was so gracious afterward - signed my program and wrote down a phone number for me to call in case I had trouble getting tickets for his then-new show I Love My Wife the next week in NYC.
-
Rodzinski, in tomorrow's notes I will tell you what name is really being said every time Jonathan Winters says "Will" or "Blessed Reverand". I will also mention some dialogue from the shooting script that didn't make the film, although if you watch the characters in the background of the scene in which the dialogue was supposed to occur, you'll suddenly see some "attitude" you've never noticed.
There were several overtly and hilarious gay scenes - this is the final shooting script I have (an original, which I got along with a first draft "outline" script) so there's a good chance these were shot. Too bad none of that footage is on the DVD - since it was an MGM film now owned by Warners, who knows if it even exists, but who knows if the exalted "leaders" of Warners even looked for it or knew of its existence? The gay scenes would have been mind-boggling for that era - one in a gay bar made me laugh out loud (occurs when Dennis Barlow is doing odd jobs - he's working as a server in a gay bar - in drag).
-
The Grand Prix disc has an interesting retrospective doc - not as poor as those things usually are on the Warners discs - has some really interesting backstage footage of the shoot, too. James Garner takes part and tells this really interesting story of some store owner holding up the shoot because he wanted more money and how Garner berated him about it. Then we SEE and HEAR the incident because someone shot it - that's the kind of stuff I like.
-
Perhaps JRand was referencing Julian Slade's passing of a couple weeks back.
Uh....yea....that's what I meant. ::)
-
Oh....sounds like the GP disc is a must! I like to watch the VHS now and then, might as well get the BEST possible source.
-
The only autograph I've ever gotten "in person" was Gerald McRaney ("Major Dad") whom I met in L.A. at an Armed Forces Television "do".
I do, however, collect autographs/signatures.
I have a nice assortment, IIDSSM (If I Do Say So Myself in internet lingo), of theater 'graphs (Sondheim, Styne, Merrill, Comden & Green, B. Cook, B. Harris, etc., etc.) movie composers (Alfred Newman, Hugo Friedhofer, Miklos Rozsa, Jerome Moross, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, etc.), lots of actors, some directors.
-
I'm not one to wait at the stage door for autographs after a show especially if it "stars" someone. It was fun to wait for Cathy Rigby with my 5 year old niece after Peter Pan and I've waited for a few others. But our recent coup was snagging all 5 autographs from the prodcution of Some Girl(s) in NYC. Imagine the likes of Eric McCormack and Fran Drescher coming out of the stage door of a theare in the Village. It was scary. Fran didn't sign much, but she did get our program. It was just fun trying to nab these people as there were two possible doors they could exit the theatre. It was the most crazy experience at a stage door that we've ever experienced.
I'm having the hardest time attaching a photo, someday I'll figure it out.
-
Sorry, but I've never collected autographs.
Not precisely true - he "collected" an autograph of Dick Van Dyke (on a paper napkin) when he was filming on the Queen Mary and gave it to me!
We both gathered signatures on items when we hosted stars at Long Beach's ICT - they include: Susan Egan, Maureen McGovern, Nell Carter, and Shelley Berman.

Very interesting info, BK. Bought my copy of THE LOVED ONE yesterday. Wish there were more extras, but of course Tony Richardson was long gone before anyone thought of these commentary tracks. Would've been nice to hear Morse or Winters had to say. Or Haskell Wexler.
They did leave in that one odd scene where the coffins are filled with ladies, and Liberace pops out of one expectantly.

Good Afternoon!

Police Dog Blamed for Putting Truck in Gear, Running Over Woman
Thursday , July 13, 2006
OGDEN, Utah — A police dog that was left in a pickup truck with the engine running apparently knocked the vehicle into gear and ran down a woman who was walking to her mailbox.
Mary F. Stone, 41, was expected to remain hospitalized with a fractured pelvis and tailbone until at least Friday, said her husband, Paul Stone.
The dog, a German shepherd named Ranger, had been left in the truck while its handler responded to a domestic disturbance call Tuesday, police Lt. Loring Draper said. The truck's engine was on so Ranger would have air conditioning.
Draper said Ranger must have hit the shift on the steering column, putting the automatic transmission into gear. As the truck slowly rolled forward, police officers yelled to Stone, but she couldn't get out of the way in time, he said.
A front and rear tire ran over her. "She had tire marks on her clothes," her husband said.
The truck then went through the Stones' yard and struck a vehicle in the driveway.

Off to opening night....must stop at a couple of shops to try to find a replacement for a BROKEN prop.
Yes, as I director I made someone cry last night by telling them that they are killing a scene.....not the first time for that note. About two times out of five she makes it work.....and I keep thinking THOSE times are not the accidents.
Plan B will be in effect tonight....if she blubbers and hesitates too long....the policeman is coming in the shoot her..... The policeman in the play, that is.

Schwarzenegger Calls for Banning Hand-Held Cellphone Use While Driving
Schwarzenegger signals support for long-stalled legislation banning drivers' use of hand-held cellphones. The practice is 'inexcusable,' he says.
By Jordan Rau, Times Staff Writer
July 13, 2006
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday condemned one of the most prototypical Los Angeles driving practices — grasping a steering wheel with one hand and a cellphone with the other — and gave a strong boost to legislative efforts to outlaw hand-held mobile phones throughout California.
Note to Editor: "outlaw hand-held mobile phones" - unconditionally? I think not.
(Schwarzenegger told his daughter " I have had many, many conversations with her that if I ever catch her making a phone call while she is driving — and I sometimes follow her to make sure that she doesn't make that mistake — [that] I will take the car away from her and she can drive the bus because it's inexcusable."
Great - punish the kid by making her drive the inexcusable bus!

Forgot I have an autographed script from both Days and Another World
DakotaCelt - what do you thnk about Days these days? Who do you think the gloved hand is? Like I mentioned before, I'm tired of the Mimi/Shaun/Belle/Phillip thing and I wish Sami's secret would finally come out. I miss Marlena. (I've been watching since 1984 on and off) I know she's gone for the summer and will be back. I was so happy to see Kayla again (and where this crush I have on her came from, I do not know!) and I hope things start moving along with Steve and his amnesia! Just my two cents. :)

Back from the mail place - no Nudie DVDs arrived, which is most worrisome. I only have four copies left and I placed this order on Monday which is plenty of time to get here (ships from Vegas) - the gal I ordered from at Image keeps saying she's checking with the distribution center but that she can't connect with them - I just wrote her and said they need to Fed Ex them for tomorrow because I don't need them if I don't have them for this weekend's show.

That would have been awesome, actually he's probably been there before. He was my roommate back when I moved to NYC and into this apartment 7 years ago. He worked for a broadway press office before going upstate to get his masters degree and then to Boston to teach.

No A/C at the gym? Is that legal?
Thankfully they installed a brand new one and it was working quite well today.

I did see MELINDA AND MELINDA. Interesting experiment as many of Woody's films are. I found myself enjoying the "comedy" Melinda story much, much more than the dreary characters in the "tragedy" Melinda story. Found the actors in the comedy version much more to my liking, too.
Neither story had much weight to it, however, and as frequently with Woody, he didn't really know how to end either story.
Still, glad I saw it. It was still worlds better than CELEBRITY or CURSE OF THE JADE SCORPION.

Then I watched last night's edition of PEE-WEE's PLAYHOUSE. It was raining outside, so Pee-Wee (and the audience) was stuck inside fairly bored with the things inside that are usually lots of fun.
This episode seemed to be treading water with not much inspiration from anyone.

Well, I've finished all of my chores for the day and even managed to squeeze in lunch with a friend. I called the vet to check in on our little one but was told he can't come home yet. I have to call them again at 6:45 before they close to see if he can come home then or if he has to stay another night. I guess they are waiting for some "movement". At any rate, I miss him and I think Killbot does too. She's been more vocal than usual today and is sticking close by me. I knew she liked him!!

I just remembered another autographed item in my possession- the pilot script from Grey's Anatomy signed by the cast. I won it in a silent auction a few months back.

Off to do the usual chores and then settle in with something before GREY'S ANATOMY and other reruns tonight. Of course, GREY'S will be new to me since I'm just now getting into the show.
-
DR Jose - looking forward to hearing your news!
-
Its nice to be able to watch them commercial free ...
It was broadcast commercial free (ask my bladder).
der Brucer
-
...- and I realized at the end that he had gone the entire program without uttering a single word. Amazing.
Nor did any one else!
-
It is hot. That is all.
-
Walty's coming home, Walty's coming home!!
-
Jose, you going up to Williamstown for the cabaret?
Features Malcolm Gets, Remy Auberjonois, Matt Cavenaugh, Beth Fowler, Catherine Brunell, Nikki Renee Daniels, Gloria Reuben...
I'm thinking about it... Especially since it's back in the Nikos - which means there is air conditioning this year! The old church is a nice space, but not exactly the most comfortable place to be in when the temps and the humidity are running high.
I'll have a better idea of my "thoughts" after tomorrow morning. -I'd also like to go up and see Anything Goes anyway since I played most of the auditions for it.
-
Walty's coming home, Walty's coming home!!
Good News Indeed!
:)
-
I just saw on the news that a copy of the first folio of Shakespeare sold today in London for 2,500,000 pounds sterling! Way to go, Will!
-
DR JRand: I'm shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED...that you you've made no mention of last night's premiere episode of "Project Runway 3".
My designer to despise this go-round is Malan Breton...SUCH a PHONY!
-
I'm hoping with all my might that Alison is ejected from the Big Brother All-Stars house tonight.
-
FJL, I don't know if Rodzinski and I can do the 13th- I do believe that we will be in Ohio that weekend for a wedding, but I will double check with the powers that be.
Ohio, you say? Shall I start cooking up an HHW do?
-
;D My last Saturday's inaugural eBay purchase arrived today!
-
I do also have an autographed photo of Mr. Bruce Kimmel, from his appearence on LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY...however, I don't believe I have ever gotten the autograph of Guy Haines!
I was able to get Guy Haines' autograph on his first CD!...with BK's autograph, as well. ;) Otherwise, I have:
- Bruce Kimmel on several CDs, DVDs and books
- Matt Ashford ("Deceit" DVD)
- Cy Coleman (on a promo album of the "Sweet Charity" soundtrack)
- Betty Buckley (in person after "Sunset Blvd.")
- Terry White (in person at Eighty-Eights, where she was bartending!)
- The Manhattan Transfer (eBay)
- Laurel Massé (by very kind courtesy of Jose!!)
- Liz Callaway (through BK's former label)
- Melissa Manchester (in person here in Olympia)
- Debbie Gravitte (in person here in Olympia)
- Stephen Schwartz (in person here in Olympia)
- Ruth and Anita Pointer (in person here in Olympia)
- In London, after seeing "Kiss Me, Kate," I got autographs and pictures of Marin Mazzie, Michael Berresse, Nancy Anderson, Nicolas Colicos and a couple of other actors, but not the World's Sexiest Man Alive, Brent Barrett. :(
These are probably most of what I have. :)
-
;D My last Saturday's inaugural eBay purchase arrived today!
Gee, my inaugural eBay purchase happened about 250 wins ago! :D
-
Walty's coming home, Walty's coming home!!
Hoo and Rah!!!!!
-
I have alot of autographs back from my sci fi con days. One of my favorites is Dan Ross who wrote all the Dark Shadows books as Marylin Ross.
-
Many signed books by authors such as Robert Kimball, Ethan Mordden, Anderson Farrell, and others
I lost my two most prized autographs in the 1970s before I moved to New York: letters from Benjamin Britten and Lotte Lenya.
LOL!!! I thought you wrote, "letters from Benjamin Franklin........"
-
DR JRand: I'm shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED...that you you've made no mention of last night's premiere episode of "Project Runway 3".
My designer to despise this go-round is Malan Breton...SUCH a PHONY!
Ooohh! Ooohh! Ooohhh!!!!! (ah, a "Welcome Back, Kotter" reference)
I watched last night's first episode. -The perfect "accompaniment" to "So You Think You Can Dance?". -Although, I hear that I should tune into "America's Got Talent" too.
As for "Project Runway"... They're not even sure at this point in the game whether Malan's accent is for real. I'm just wondering how many more episodes there will be until they show the "shocking" episode where a major rule is broken.
-
LOL!!! I thought you wrote, "letters from Benjamin Franklin........"
Well.. He hasn't lost those.
;)
-
Good Evening!
Well, I believe I'm over the "shock" of the phone call I received earlier today. Here's a quasi-transcript:
"Hello, Jose?"
-Yes.
"Would you be interested in coming in for Sweeney Todd?"
-Sure...
"Well, we're starting to look for someone to replace Alexander Gemignani as the Beadle, and since he plays most of the piano part throughout the show, we're looking for good pianists."
-Oh...
"Are you interested?"
-Hmm... <laughs to myself - and sort of out loud> -I thought you wanted me to come in to play some auditions... well.. Yes!
[/size]
So... After my production meeting tomorrow morning, I will be heading in to sing and play for the casting director who I've known for a couple of years. And as it turns out, I also know the current Musical Supervisor. If anything, it will be nice to see some friends again.
I'm still sort of giddy about it. I have no idea what my chances are, but I also have absolutely nothing to lose. The casting director knows she's taking a chance on me, and she also know that I really haven't been out of the pit in a long time. So... I got the sides and the music - and the music is in a lower key than the original, which is fine with me! - and I think I'm ready to head in tomorrow. It should all be a very casual (ad)venture, and I'm just going to treat it like that. And if I end up getting a call-back, well... Stranger things have happened.
Fun! Fun! Fun!

Me, TOO!
Malan's accent is too chi-chi to be real, IMO.
Plus, they aired a show two nights ago in which they interviewed all the applicants. Malan had applied for each "Project Runway" thus far, and they aired a clip from each interview segment. In one of them, he had NO accent. It's very funny...just hope they share some of his unguarded moments and I also hope someone calls him on it.
The previews make it seem all hell's going to break loose next week among the "designers".

What a YEAR this has been for you!
Congratulations!!!!

Looks like the 2006 Festival of New Musicals at the Village Theater in the Seattle area (Issaquah, to be exact) will be from August 3-6, and the LAST STARFIGHTER presentation is currently scheduled for Friday, August 4 at 7:30 pm.
As much as I would love to attend the performance of THE LAST STARFIGHTER at the Village Theater; apparently, the only way I can get a ticket is to become a contributing member of Village Theater, the lowest price of memebership being $75.00.
-
Well.. He hasn't lost those.
;)
That's how I'm coming to learn that fish and guests stink after three days.
-
Mother Courage in Central Park just increased the star power:
Kevin Kline (http://www.playbill.com/news/article/100850.html)
Well, that would certainly make it tempting, but I would still have to sit through MOTHER COURAGE.
-
CONGRATULATIONS, JOSE!! ;D
Break legs, vocal chords, fingers (and all figuratively, of course)!!!!!!

AARRGGHH!! I wanted to see this also, and I wouldn't be able to pay $75, either. :'(
Hey, Fred...can you sneak us in?? ;)
-
I'm fighting off a mild headache. My first one in a while since I've been making use of everyone's suggestions and recommendations. :)

Well, I'm off to my parents' house for dinner. Laters!! (a Jose reference :))
-
Your professional acting debut LOOMS...
Hey - remember his "Jewish Thighs" gig?
der Brucer
-
DR Jose - what thrilling news! Appropriate audition vibes will be headed your way tomorrow!
-
Well, that would certainly make it tempting, but I would still have to sit through MOTHER COURAGE.
I'm in the same camp with you, DR TCB. I'm all for "great theater", but I'm just not sure I want to wait in the summer heat for a couple of hours to get the tickets, then sit outside on a hot, humid summer night watching Brecht. Ehh... Although, since Jeanine Tesori is writing some music for the production, maybe there will be a little song and dance number in the midst of all that Brecht-spiel.
*However, I do think that it was quite a courageous bit of programming to devote their summer season in Central Park to the subject of "War" - as all the posters in the subways keep telling me. But again, I'm not sure I'm in the mood for such heavy-fare in the Park. At least now.
**And I'm also pretty sure that had they not been able to secure the talents of Liev Schrieber, Jennifer Ehle (for Macbeth), and Meryl Streep and Christopher WalkenKevin Kline, they probably would not have proceeded with such "heavy" programming.
-
DR Jose - what thrilling news! Appropriate audition vibes will be headed your way tomorrow!
Thanks. 12:30pm-ish EST.

Holy crap Jose! I am so excited for you.

I think both Fred and Skip need to have Personal Assistants.

Break a leg.

Jose, so, you'd be playing the part of the Beadle? Singing and acting as well as playing piano???
-

Yes, yes, and yes.

Again... I have no idea how things are going to go, what my chances really are... But it will certainly be an exciting way to end the week.
:)
-
Woo Hoo!! Wishing you broken legs!!
-
Walty's coming home, Walty's coming home!!
YEAH!! YEAH!!!! Callie and Boo are dancing around the room cheering for Walty

Mattie and Max just sent me an email telling me they miss me in Ohio. I really miss them.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Does this mean that Michael Cerveris would slit your throat every night?
-
DR Elmore - I miss you in Ohio, too, so it looks like I should eat ice cream to make me feel better.
-
WOW JOSE!!! Now I'm joining Callie and Boo dancing around for you! Just the phone call is incredible. Vibes for continuing good news and good auditions are definitely going your way~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Mattie and Max just sent me an email telling me they miss me in Ohio. I really miss them.
Awww.... Are they enjoying those Frosty Paws Doggie Frozen Treats? It's a treat - the ice cream - and a toy - the plastic cup - all in one!
-
Happy about the outcome of eviction and HOH on BB tonight
-
Is anyone going to watch the results show of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT tonight? If you do, could you send me a PM and tell me who was sent on to the finals in August.
-
Of course Callie is dancing in one room and Boo in another, but we're all dancing nonetheless
-
DR Elmore - I miss you in Ohio, too, so it looks like I should eat ice cream to make me feel better.
Ice cream always makes me feel better
-
Of course ice cream is always good for celebrating....and ice cream is good for just an ordinary day....and, well...ice cream is just plain good any old time at all
-
Is anyone going to watch the results show of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT tonight? If you do, could you send me a PM and tell me who was sent on to the finals in August.
No, I am going to watch the news special about the two serial killers we have in town now.
-

I may watch and will IM if I do....but the secret ingredient on Iron Chef America is frozen peas, so....tough choice ;)
-
Back from a really interesting meeting, which went on for almost ninety minutes. Many topics of discussion involving many interesting people. We'll see what happens.

I'm thinking I need ice cream.....maybe a quick run then home..0h jees So You Think You Can Dance is on too

-
No, I am going to watch the news special about the two serial killers we have in town now.
The Dizzy Serial Killers! All Singing! All Dancing! Two Performances Only! If you don't see their act, you'll just DIE!!!
Some people will do anything to break into show business.
-
I just hope our dear DR Jose gives der B and myself another reason to head up to NYC. ;D
-
At long last, a show where our dear DR Jose won't have to wear his performance blacks!
-
Here's what I bought from eBay:
-
Go to see SWEENEY TODD, get your NEEDY STOWED!
-
Go to see SWEENEY TODD while high, you'll be WEEDY STONED!
-
DR TCB, the two finalists from last night were the little yodeler and the men's dance group, All That. The winner ended up being the yodeler.
-
I'm thinking I need ice cream.....maybe a quick run then home..0h jees So You Think You Can Dance is on too
All this talk of ice cream has reminded me that I have some unopened vanilla frozen yogurt in my freezer at home (I'm still at my parents' house). I can't wait to get home now! ;)
-
I think both Fred and Skip need to have Personal Assistants.
YES!!!! ;D I'll be happy to assist!
-
I saw my doctor at 3:30 and left around 4:00 with a referral to the surgeon who did the initial repair surgery in Oct. 2004, a couple of prescriptions, and a date next Thursday for some lab work. By 5:00, I had set up an appointment for Monday morning at 10:15 to see the surgeon about lancing and cleaning this abscess. I'm really happy right now because I discovered in my medicine cabinet some Tylenol with codiene, and I need drugs to kill the itch and the pain!
On that pleasant thought, I'll sign off. Good night, all!
-
DS Rob and I did a couple loads of laundry tonight (isn't that how every college man wants to spend an evening - with his mother, no less). We didn't want a lot of laundry piled up for DH Richard when he arrives home Sunday from his week in Wisconsin.
'night!
-
DR TCB, the two finalists from last night were the little yodeler and the men's dance group, All That. The winner ended up being the yodeler.
That is a pity. Those boys were hot!
-
I thought this particular one was great.
Possible spoiler:
William Hurt gave a great performance - and I realized at the end that he had gone the entire program without uttering a single word. Amazing.
Hmmm... Without seeing this show and not having read the story it's based on, I would have to say that it sounds similar to the TWILIGHT ZONE episode with Agnus Moorehead battling little space invaders.
-
That is a pity. Those boys were hot!
Clogging and hot...never quite imagined that combination before
-
I've also remembered additional autographs in my possessions. I have two signed copies of Peanuts sketches by Charles M Schulz (the sketches are printed, not original drawings.) Also, I have an 8 x 10 production still of the NBC presentation of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' that's signed by Nell Carter.
-
Everyone has Stephen Sondheim's autograph but me! I want one, too! Who has his address?
-
Everyone has Stephen Sondheim's autograph but me! I want one, too! Who has his address?
And me!
-

Maybe all of us Sondheimless HHW'ers can write to him at the same time requesting his autograph, all of us using similar words and phrases in our letters. We'll blow his mind!
-
Merde and broken legs and audition vibes for DR Jose!
Ah, sir, happy news indeed!
-
Indeed! Crossed fingers and many broken legs to DR Jose for tomorrow!
-
Page Seven FINDING NEMO Dance!!!
(the line is, "Gee, for a clown fish, you're not very funny.")
-
Watched four different things tonight.
I began with Shirley Temple's HEIDI.
I resisted buying this again when it came out last year in that boxed set, but getting a good price on this DVD persuaded me to bite the bullet and do it. I'm glad I did because the video quality is much, much better: better contrast and sharper despite some speckles and scratches.
Always enjoy this film, among my very favorite Temple movies.
-
Next came ALL ABOUT EVE. Of course, I only got an hour in, but I'll finish it tomorrow. One of the all-time greats.
-
I'm assuming that the GREY'S ANATOMY episodes being shown on Thursdays are from season 1 pretty much in order since this episode had to do with Izzy and George moving in and making themselves at home in Grey's house. (They were told they could move in at the end of last week's second episode.)
I know the Sunday rerun episodes come from this season since we had a Thanksgiving episode last Sunday.
Anyway, tonight's show had a male patient flirting with George, and some beautiful writing concerning organ harvesting.
-
While I was watching GREY'S ANATOMY, I had the DVR recording CSI which I watched at 10 p.m. Lots of fairly famous folks in this week's episode: Judd Nelson, John Michael Higgins, Kenneth Johnson. I had seen the episode, but I didn't remember the solution of the crime.
There were also several looks passed back and forth between Grisson and Sarah which made the season finale not so much of a jaw-dropper any more. I had forgotten all this stuff had happened.
-
DearReader Laura - from what I've read this serial killer is shooting walkers near the area where you walk...is that true? If so, maybe it's time to drive somewhere else to walk or something...take care!!!!
-
Heading off to bed now.
Good night!
-
TCB - Does that mean the only way someone can buy a ticket to any one of the readings is by paying $75 to see all six readings in the festival?
-
Good Evening!
Well... I have quite a jam-packed morning ahead of me, so...
Goodnight.
-
Back to the TOD: The following is a sampling of the 4 notebooks full of autographed photos I have obtained either personally or through the mail...
First off is a man that many of you will recall from westerns in the 1950s...that luciously handsome Mr. Guy Madison!!
He signed this photo as well as one of him in his Wild Bill Hickcock gear.
(http://shutter07.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/05/005/7F/7E/FB/50/p0LXtokrRL8lI0DEaPcvvkmr4CnFej460300.jpg)
-
Another TV icon, Mr. Raymond Burr...I wrote to him and he signed this photo for me about a year or two before he passed away.
Looking through my autographs it is very sad to notice that about half of those I got autgraphs from back in the 1990s are now gone :'(
(http://shutter02.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/05/008/7F/BF/40/3B/RC6U840s13fxkW8m-7vnjWjGlnUfEMGT0300.jpg)
-
Of course I have always loved television so I guess I tended to get the autographs of lots of TV stars...but this guy, for me at least, was best known for his roles in SAYONARA and THE CHILDREN'S HOUR...the impossibly charming James Garner...
(http://shutter10.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/05/007/7F/BF/EF/B6/WsSOLxdVO9lMf+Dze46vkmPexwXnYbyh0300.jpg)
-
And for some of you who are more familiar with today's TV I think you will recognize this handsome man from the current hit DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES....of course I got Richard Burgi's autograph back when he was starring on the little known TV show 1 WEST WAIKIKI...back then I am sure he was thrilled that anyone would even want his autograph! LOL!
(http://shutter09.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/06/006/7B/FF/F0/5A/NMT-58A3aXgsTHyuUyW-w4JDYBZ-9xxX0300.jpg)
-
Jose, that news is flat-out fantastic, no matter what the outcome. Enjoy yourself!!!
-
And of course I collected the ladies autographs as well...here is the lovely and talented Miss Yvonne DeCarlo...
(http://shutter06.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/04/003/79/7F/93/55/E3NpNy1K6mZzSW7COeD4sOyq7PCQOv9O0300.jpg)
-
Once TPunk and I were at a mall in NJ and she was shopping, and I got a bit bored and saw that some soap actress was getting ready to sign autographs, so I got in line. She was from a CBS soap, so I didn't know who she was, but she was very friendly and even signed at my request; "To Tom, You're the Greatest!" which amuses me because I am easily amused I guess. Michelle Stafford says I am the greatest!
(http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/Maclord/soap.jpg)
-
Ya, well, enough of the females, let us get back to the men...Christian Boeving was, and I think still is, a young struggling actor...so of course I liked to lend my support by making him feel, you know, like someone was interested in his...ahem ...career...
(http://shutter07.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/05/002/47/83/04/AE/iRepQOYjU09+wyZNi12rzgv3h29cQJoR0300.jpg)
-
Did Raymond Burr trace over his own autograph? He must have been happy to see such a slender photo of himself.
-
Here is a pride and joy, and one that DR Elmoore will be proud that I got, Myrna Loy...have you ever seen such a lovely photo of her!!
She was one of the first celebrities that I wrote to for an autograph and one of the few really big stars I tried to collect.
(http://shutter02.pictures.aol.com/data/pictures/04/001/7D/BF/14/E8/GN9MK4LXT4WU56TxGSHdDP2Wn28QcwT20300.jpg)
-
Did Raymond Burr trace over his own autograph? He must have been happy to see such a slender photo of himself.
I am not sure what happened with his...he wasn't well at that time so his hand might have been a bit shaky...interestingly enough, that did happen with an autographed photo I sent to Peggy Webber...her pen wouldn't write and so she kept tracing over her signature with another pen...and wrote me a long letter apoligizing for messing up the photo, and even letting me know that she went all over the place trying to find a replacement photo at Los Angeles memorabilia stores..what a sweet lady!
-
I love the weird pedastal with giant crystal ball behind Myrna.
-
DearReader Laura - from what I've read this serial killer is shooting walkers near the area where you walk...is that true? If so, maybe it's time to drive somewhere else to walk or something...take care!!!!
Actually, they say there are TWO serial shooters. One of the attacks was about a mile from us.

Ok, I digress...back to the men...here is Mr. America 1948 Clarence Ross who now resides in southern California and in his letter back to me, is living with a couple of lady friends!
I believe he was well known for his big guns ::)

That is all for now, I got tired of scanning photos...and I am all frenzied out!
But I do love to share my autographs with people so thanks for bearing with me!
-
Lovely photos....
Great news about Walty.
Great news about DR JOSE and Mr Todd!
-
Michael Curtiz....indeed. I always pictured myself more as Douglas Sirk or Jean Negulesco.
Opening night went well....hysterical girl pulled it together and did fine....hopefully she can do it again tomorrow night for a sold out house.
-
DR RLP - I haven't gotten to see the NEW Project Wunway yet....maybe later when this show is OVER I can catch up.
-
Those are great photos, MBarnum. ;) Thanks for posting them.

Everyone has Stephen Sondheim's autograph but me! I want one, too! Who has his address?
I don't have his address, either. :(

Here is my CD of Guy Haines' "Haines His Way," with both Guy's and BK's autographs...the title of this CD was the inspiration for this here website!
