Title: THE WINDY METAPHORS
Post by: bk on June 16, 2007, 12:03:01 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes weren't too long-winded, and were breezy, and now it is time for you to post until the metaphorical cows come home.

Title: Re:THE WINDY METAPHORS
Post by: George on June 16, 2007, 03:20:09 AM: "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" as presented by TAO was very, very, very (that's three verys) funny! Because this weekend is Olympia's Capital Pride weekend, they had an opening act of these two guys (they're boyfriends), one plays keyboards and sings, the other plays the drums and they sang their own original music. I wish I could remember their name, but they were funny and loud...very loud...much too loud for the size room. ::) But they were good. They did about a half hour of music.
Title: Re:THE WINDY METAPHORS
Post by: George on June 16, 2007, 03:20:45 AM: After that was the actual play, "VLoS." The set was a simple platform with two columns on each side of the front with chalk drawings to represent the different time periods. At the back, where just about everyone made their entrances and exits was a giant cut-out vagina...yes, a va-jay-jay (a "Grey's Anatomy" reference). Other than having to stare at that for an entire hour ::), it was so much fun! Everyone in the cast and the audience loved it. It went by so quickly. It was only an hour long.
Title: Re:THE WINDY METAPHORS
Post by: George on June 16, 2007, 03:21:29 AM: After that, everyone stood around and chatted. I met some friends that I hadn't seen in a while. Then, a bunch of us (including some cast members who are in "Shrew") went downstairs to the bar and chatted there for an hour or so. I eventually left, came home, watched a bit of "Dreamgirls," checked around at MySpace, caught up with the rest of yesterday's posts here and then posted this post. :)

Post by: George on June 16, 2007, 03:24:34 AM: And now it's time for me to sleep...finally! Yesterday was a long day. Today will probably be long, too. It's my mom's 65th birthday! I need to go over to my sister's house early this morning (after I've actually slept, of course) to help her set up and do some last minute shopping. Depending how long the party lasts, I may see another show in the evening, but I probably won't get the chance to. We'll see. Anyway, I'm off to bed! 8)

Wow! Glad to hear BD Wong is on the mend....

No DR TCB it's not THAT Ernie Ford.....although when he first moved to Greencastle as Executive Director of the Society of Professional Journalists, an article in the local paper was headlined with that exact same phrase.

He and I played Oscar and Felix in THE ODD COUPLE a few seasons back....well he didn't bother to learn many of Oscar's lines so I kind of played both parts....but the audience liked it....or so they said.

I have DAYS OF GLORY (2006 Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film) to watch, too, possibly tonight.

I have Hepburn's DRAGON SEED (with an all-star cast) to watch, and I'd love to finish up the fourth season of ANGEL, too.

And I could use that mental support for the next 9 days...... I know that that is a selfish request of the collective "vibe energy" here, but it is really needed and requested.

And that's not a metaphor,.... that's a direct request. :)

Hmmmmmm....Standards, dear Naomi......

Kind of sounds like when my concert manager was talking to me years ago. I had played at a very tacky venue on a pretty crappy instrument, but for a very nice "larger-than-usual" fee. Some time later, after I puffed up to my manager about being an "artiste" and having standards, he said to me.... "we already know what you are -- I'm now just haggling about price!"

It certaily is summer. The weather isn't blazingly hot yet, but business is way up. Yesterday I spent my entire shift working the self-serve lanes, and was kept busy the entire time, bouncing from register to register. I was even asked to stay an extra hour (bringing my total - including today's shift - to forty-five hours this week).

I've cheated, and read the first two chapters of MTL last night, but I'd better finish the bio of Lady in the Dark before I get carried away.

Well, I'd be using my eyes to do SOMETHING if I'm awake: either reading, cleaning, driving in the car, etc.

I've said all along that I'm in a very unique position of being retired at a (relatively) young age, and having nothing but time on my hands to do ALL the things in the world I wanted to do when I was working (sometimes three jobs) but never had the time to do.

Believe me, I KNOW how lucky I am. And being a homebody as I am, I am perfectly content reading, watching films and TV programs, taking care of the house, cooking, etc. In fact, not just content - in hog heaven!

DH Richard is at Miami University all day and evening, rehearsing then performing the Men's Glee Club 100th anniversary concert tonight. When we found out that it would cost $30 for me to attend and that the concert would be in a TENT :P, he recommended that I skip this one.

We have had way too much rain up here and I would love to send some of it to Laura!

Well, after clearing a pathway in my room, I sat down at my keyboard and did some practicing. And will do a little bit more practicing in a little bit. -I know there are various ways to "cheat" when it comes to playing dance breaks, but sometimes it is just easier to play what's on the page - or at least try to play what's on the page - while keeping the tempo steady.

DR Laura, I am well aware of the syndrome to which you are referring. Oh, am I ever! When doing projects on the house I TRY to put limits on it: this, but not that, etc. Try. The gods of home renovation are not kind-hearted. As for schedules, well, they're anybody's guess. At least Matt shows up and knows what he's doing. I am most thankful about that. And he's flexible when there's a problem. Otherwise, I'd truly be going out of my mind.

If you're like me, your motivation gets misplaced in the same pile as your good intentions.

DR TCB - As for your late night query last night: "Who is that?" Well, his name is Carrington Vilmont. He plays the gay brother/manager to one of the divas in The Second Tosca. He was in The Phantom of the Opera for a while covering various roles, including Raoul at one point and time. ...And he does have a Friendster profile. ;)

Thanks, Jose, I was just curious. He is cute, but not my type. But you did teach me about Friendster, which I had never heard of before. Let me know if hear about one called Oldster.

Post by: Matt H. on June 16, 2007, 03:40:59 PM: Similies and metaphors are both types of figurative language and both involve comparisons of unlike objects.

In the simpliest terms (because there are variations of each type):

Similes use the words "like" or "as" in their comparisons:

The boy ran like a deer through the forest.

Metaphors state that one thing is the other thing without the use of words "like" or "as."

The boy was a deer running through the forest.

They didn't make any changes apart from asking if I could make it a little shorter.

So I've been checking on YouTube and it never showed up. Just now I went to www.tnt.tv to check on the schedule for the marathon and saw a video called "Sweet On Brenda", which is obviously mine. But I made crappy titles to make it look amateur---really cheesy and ugly, and here it is on their network site?? But I can't view it.

Thanks, Jane, for the directions. What kind of browser are you using to view it?

A friend of the client I did this for downloaded some potential songs and was very excited that this was the one I chose, because she really liked it.

But the video is fuzzy, huh? I didn't do it at full res because I thought it would look more viral and match the other stuff on YouTube. I would have uprezed it had I known they were going to use it on their own site. Argh. Thanks!

I looked at the clips again, they both seem to be a bit inconsistent in their clarity.

I'm using FireFox, the latest version.

It's not really fuzzy, and the clip from the show wasn't any better. If I had found that site on my own I doubt I would have thought about it.

As a fan I enjoyed the video & am glad it was used.

Do you know anyone who can make you a copy?

I'll have my regular Closer promo producers pull it up at work on Monday and take a look. We've had to crank out so much stuff for the premiere that we're ready for the season to start and then life will be easier for all of us.

I have to say that this show gets better every season, and the 5 new episodes I've seen so far are great--a good mixture of tragedy and comedy. I can't wait to see the one with Brenda's dad!

Oh yeah---we put that up last week. It's from the premiere episode.

It's just annoying that I get a message that these clips won't play but they don't give you any options!

And speaking of Brenda and her sweets, every time in this set that she finally gives in to temptation and eats something sweet, her acting is SO superbly hilarious, it just tickles me greatly. That look of ecstacy, pure pleasure like an addict getting a fix is just hysterical to me.

I guess as a sweet food junkie myself, I can identify.

Post by: Matt H. on June 16, 2007, 08:10:48 PM: Next I watched the really outstanding Algerian film DAYS OF GLORY. Having to do with Algerians who fought to liberate France during World War II considering it their homeland (even though they were treated like second class citizens and denied rights given to other soldiers), this film justly deserved its Oscar nomination. Terrific set pieces in the film, and a climactic defense of an Alsace village by four Algerian soldiers is heart-stopping.

I really enjoyed this film; it's SO much more than a war movie.

Post by: JoseSPiano on June 16, 2007, 08:43:59 PM: "Tonight's performance of A Chorus Line is dedicated to Thommie Walsh."

Thommie created the role of Bobby. He's been fighting a very brave fight against cancer the past couple of years. Thankfully - but not unexpectedly - he was surrounded by family and loved ones, the past couple of days. And he was able to spend his last days here on Earth at his home in upstate New York.

I never met Thommie, but Baayork always talked about him fondly - that original cast of A Chorus Line became a true family. And since I've been a part of that family for the past couple of years... -I have to say, I got a little weepy here and there during the show tonight. (I guess it was good that I wasn't playing then. ;))

I just wanted to "tip the hat" to another piece of Broadway history. Rest In Peace, Thommie. But something tells me, you'll be dancing and choreographing again in no time. :)

So, after the pre-show announcement was made about Thommie Walsh...

"Again..."

The Key 2 Book is a little bit more involved than the Key 3 Book, and it looks like there are actually some passages I'm going to have to practice. ;) Most of the book is guitar and harp - so, there's lots of arpeggios and glissandos (my favorite!). I'll practice the book over the next couple of days, and then see about setting up my first show on Key 2.

OH!! And the "Wah-Wah" pedal stuff is a sooooooo cool. :D

No. I thought it would be fun to go with DR Jose, but he's busy tonight. Since he doesn't seem interested. I may see it during the week unless it closes for want of business.

Well... You may be able to twist my arm next week, mid-week. We'll see. However, as some of the reviews have mentioned - and as I know from seeing other shows in the 45th Street Theatre - the air conditioning system there really doesn't work that well. So, if the day has been a hot and humid one, expect the same conditions inside the theatre.

However, I did walk by the theatre on the way to ACL tonight, and the lobby didn't look to busy, so... -But I think it's a limited run anyway.

I found over 100 cassettes and DATS to transfer - including all the instrumental mixes from every solo album I've produced.

Can you use them to rerecord and release the albums on Kritzerland?

Post by: elmore3003 on June 16, 2007, 11:28:28 PM: I'm here because I've been awakened by a disturbing dream about a child mysteriously dying en route to a Chicago 1903 performance of BABES IN TOYLAND. The name that sticks in my head, now that I'm awake, is Taylor Kincaid, who was very young, and my only memory is that it was a matinee, the mother was young with two children and in my dream she sewed a button on Taylor's coat in a restaurant before they left for the theatre. She had a letter with her recommending a hotel. This dream is unsettling for several reasons: it seemed very real, I believe this is a true story but I can't tell you why and the plot of BABES IN TOYLAND involves a toymaker intent on building toys to kill and maim children. Of course in the show, no children die but this dream freaks me out a bit. I've been up googling the name Taylor Kincaid. Nada.

On a CLOSER thought, is the coroner's being named Dr Crippin an homage to the famoous Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen who killed his shrewish wife for the love of beautiful Ethel le Neve? Every time his name comes up, I laugh!

And, I'm back to bed, hopefully with no more dreams of Taylor Kincaid.
