George, have you ever had Buffalo Chips?
Are they anything like cow chips?? :o
They come in Almond, milk and /or Dark Chocolate covered treats.
I think I am flying the coop also until later.
Pleasant dreams George!
Hi, Cil!
We are looking forward to your trip next week (I'm sure you are also).
Wednesday morning greetings! Today's weather in SW Ohio: Freezing Fog.
"Freezing Fog"? I never heard of that! Sounds scary!
Dog Helps Save Stranded Mount Hood Climbers
Tuesday , February 20, 2007
GOVERNMENT CAMP, Ore. —
Thanks to a high-tech electronic gadget and a big warm dog named Velvet, three climbers rescued after a harrowing fall and a night in the wind and cold high on Mount Hood are expected to be fine.
They were found at about the 7,400-foot level on Monday and hiked down the mountain with their rescuers.
"I'm really glad they were there for us," Matty Bryant, one of the three climbers, said of the rescue teams. "They did an incredible job. They were amazing."
Searchers credited the group's rescue to two things — Velvet, a black Labrador mix who provided warmth as the three climbers huddled under sleeping bags and a tarp, and the activation of an emergency radio beacon the size of a sunglasses case that guided them to the group.
...
Then he saw the group of three — all roped together with Velvet — disappear over an icy ledge.

If I don't get anything new DVD-wise in the mail today, I think I may put in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. I haven't seen it in awhile, and I want to luxuriate in the vivid Technicolor.
Of course, I have four one hour drama shows from last night to get through this afternoon. They get first priority.
Glad to see that everyone on message baords I read this morning seems to be in agreement about the train wreck on AMERICAN IDOL last night. Only a couple of guys seem to have gotten through unscathed. Blake seemed to have the most support on the boards that I read though Phil was also strong.
Most everyone agreed that Sundance and Sunjaya did themselves no favors. And others were thinking Chris S. might have turned off the audience by talking back to Simon so early in the competition. I agree that it was a bad, bad move on his part.
Rudy, paul kim, nick, jared and aj all in trouble. I do not know these guys at all. And they were all bland. I wonder if they were not featured because they were bland. It still is not fair. One guy (i think jared) said america does not know him. And it's true. I can't remember ever seeing him.
I really don't get why they picked those 5 at all.
Jose, have you ridden in the horse-drawn buggies they have in NYC?
THey are the embodiment of all caloric evil but gosh darnit they are quite tasty!
MY ASK BK
I am wondering if The Creature Wasn't Nice aka Spaceship aka Naked Space is in public domain? In fixing the site I discovered several different DVD covers (ALL Naked Space)
ASK BK:
Did you ever have a dream before you woke up and it was so vivid that you wrote it down thinking it might be a good idea for a movie (or play)?
Question for BK: What motion picture costume design, good or bad, made your jaw drop the first time you saw it?
My question for "Ask BK Day"............
This is selfish, for the next time that I am driving around in L.A. --- What would be the closest major cross streets to where your family home was when you grew up? Olympic & La Cienega...... Or Robertson? And was your house on Sherbourne?
You know, it's very funny (and kind of "spooky" to quote Dame Edna), but Benjamin Kritzer seems to have lived right in that area also. Go know !

Yes, the last guy...Phil. I'm not great with their names yet.
As for Chris Sligh talking back to Simon....I blame Ryan Seacrest for his baiting on that issue.
Ryan took quite a few Simon potshots last night. And Paula looked like an idiot. Whoever does her hair should be fired.
I'm getting really tired of Paula interrupting Simon. More and more, Simon is absolutely DEAD-ON in his assessments of these performances.
Paula couldn't give an original opinion on anything. She parrots Randy every time.
Hmm... Well, those five guys may not have received multiple segments, but a couple of them were featured early on in their initial audition rounds, especially Nick Pedro due to his previous history with the show. Even Blake has really not received that much coverage. I think his talent is strong - and his beat-boxing has been his "hook" so far.
In general, I sense that a bunch of the finalists were chosen due to their backstory - whether or not we've seen them featured yet. -I think the only reason Antonella made it was due to her best friend not making it. The same goes for Sanjaya (in regards to his sister). And I suspect Sundance was put through since they probably filmed a couple of segments about him, and they didn't want to waste that footage.
Although, as I mentioned last night, I believe nerves and how those nerves affected their song choices were the big culprits last night.
Will we never get to page five?
ASK BK:

M-o-o-n -- that spells TPunk!
Of course I love the Blondie and Dagwood movies, so who am I to judge!
DR edisaurus - I can't remember if I mentioned it before, but Rathbun's looks good!
And a final bit of "AI" talk...
...And just keep in mind all those contestants who were featured who did NOT make it to the final 24.
In anticipation of the release of the final Harry Potter book, some friends of mine at work have formed a Harry Potter book club. We will start at the beginning and read and discuss one book each month leading up to July. I'm almost done with book one right now.
I agree, most of last night's performances were duds. During the second half I switched over to Veronica Mars- much more entertaining. I don't specifically remember Chris- was he the one that Ryan Seacrest so awkwardly goaded into "defending" himself to Simon? I liked the Beatbox guy, the Justin Timberlake guy, the big curly headed guy, and the last guy.
DR George, I like a lot of the new HAPPY END recording.
DR elmore - Maybe I missed it... And I know you mentioned your USAirways woes... But do you have a return date set yet?
My ask BK question:
Assuming you have seen both, which is your favorite version of IMITATION OF LIFE?
Review has been submitted oh creator of the Brain play which made me laugh so much.
(it takes a few days before it is actually posted on the sight, however)
MattH, do you know if Veronica mars would be online? I have never seen it.
I have seen clips of House. NOt a bad show.
Where in tarnation is page six?
Will we never get to page seven?
Hello DR Elmore. Songs Of NY arrived safely and are much appreciated.
Everyone who is anyone will be there. Certainly I will be there, Mr. Spirtas will be there, many other cast members will be there, most of the creative team will be there, and some fun guests will be there.

Excellent. Not sure why it would take a few days - maybe they just say that, like amazon does
I always wanted to belong to a book club. A friend of mine was thinking of starting one but I had already read all the books on his list so I did not participate.
Apparently it is - well, at least Naked Space is. The Creature Wasn't Nice has never been released and I have claimed ownership of it and that is why we'll be releasing our own DVD of the Director's Cut and the release version.
Is anyone familiar with this hotel in NYC:The 414 Hotel is a superior tourist and business class boutique hotel, located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, only steps away from Times Square, Broadway Theaters, Restaurant Row, The Jacob Javits Convention Center
414 Hotel (http://www.414hotel.com)
I woke up this morning with no voice, but it is returning slowly.
:-(
Has anyone yet told us what Cason's new job is and why it's preventing his appearance?
But aren't your songs and script copyrighted?
That's how It's A Wonderful Life got out of public domain hell. It's original story was still in copyright and Republic pictures was able renew it and obtain ownership.
Isn't this something you can do and perhaps get ownership of the film?
I'm actually working security at a nightclub here in Hollywood -- The Avalon. Our dear Brain castmate Grady (who plays Rod) has been working there for the past 2 years and he got me in. It is nice because I only work nights and it keeps my days free to pursue other things, plus the schedule is quite flexible -
So, with that, I am going to ask tonight if they can just push me back an hour and a half at least so I can make an appearance at the partay. Fingers crossed that it shouldn't be a problem!
Anyway, BK, I have a question for you. At my one-act, we were talking about the music playing before my show -- Vangelis' "La Petite Fille de la Mer" from the L'Apocalypse des Animaux, a '72 TV documentary by Frederic Rossif. I know the CD soundtrack is fairly available, having seen it last night on amazon, but my question is - have you ever managed to track down a copy of the 6-part documentary series itself?
I was looking around, and it seems there is a SECAM version in France and possibly a PAL edition that exists in Italy, but beyond that, no one seems to know anything. So, I was just curious if you knew any different -- or had ever looked?
Like DR ADRIANNA PATTI - I am intrigued by the idea of the NEW Kritzerland release - details to be revealed soon.
Question for ASK BK DAY:
What is your favorite costume that you have worn in a play or film or tv? Are there photos available?
I've actually spoken about the new release long ago. I'm just finally doing the damn thing. It will be a limited edition.
Is anyone familiar with this hotel in NYC:
414 Hotel (http://www.414hotel.com)
Back from waling my sister's little dawg... now, to dive into WAY too much homework... ah, well. I love school!
It looks very nice. I suggest if you aren't getting the king suite to check out the room sizes. Those NY boutique hotel rooms can be way too small.
They can't be any smaller than the ones in the Comfort Inn!
The 414 appears to be just west, and across 10th Ave., from Joe Allen on 46th St. I think it's also not far from the home of DR FJL.

Why has none of these esteemed book groups ever done the Kritzer books. What fun that would be. Of course, all Jane's groups and recommendations from everyone on earth have precluded her from even sampling the last two books of mine own, and for that I have to say skammen. But, that's just me.
...
I have also been given the honor of reading a 417 page manuscript with the request of my honest opinion.
I have to give a serious tip of the hat to our Dear Elmore -- more than once since I've listened to the CD, I've referenced him as "brilliant" or a "genius," or some combination of those two descriptions. :)

Mmmmm...an underground Brain movement...Thats how cd's get sold, so make sure all your friends listen to it!
Jose, have you ridden in the horse-drawn buggies they have in NYC?Danise the Vixter and I have...
I MISSSSS YOU LARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY
Danise the Vixter and I have...
Will we never get to page nine?
That said - will we never get to page ten?
Will we never get to page eleven?
When is someone going to propose to me, damn it all?
I guess we're supposed to make something special out of what they say : "You are among us but are not one of us," but I guess that's just another mystery that'll have to be answered later.
When is someone going to propose to me, damn it all?
I propose we have dinner soon.
How is that for a proposition!
BK, Amazon.com is very strange... there are many, many items not yet released and up for pre-order that already have reviews or at least have the button to "be the first to review this item."
And many of these "items" are releasing the same day as The Brain....
Just had a nice e-mail from one of the producers who I sent the Brain script to (he already had the CD and loved it) - while he said he didn't have time to write a huge drawn out letter, he read it, he loved it, and he wants in. Now I have to figure out the next step - have to know a bit more about him (I know he's done a couple of these NYMF shows) and see what he thinks a good course of action would be. So, who knows, I guess NYMF this year might be a possibility. Or maybe something even better.
What is it, and how do you qualify?
Well, I'm hoping to get up earlier tomorrow/today... So...
Goodnight.
Stay and play me a tune on your piano.
