DR dB - the Luhrmann. Didn't know about the other one.

Beautiful pictures, DearReaderLaura DR! :)

DR Danise - Congratulations on your new bed! :)

Glad that DR Ginny arrived home safely.

Yummilicious photos from DRs MBarnum and JoseSPiano! ;)

Post by: elmore3003 on March 30, 2008, 06:21:54 AM: Good morning, all! I'm off to Toyland: I've got some scores to photocopy for THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER, and I'll hang out at the office for a whle. When I get back, I need to move some furniture around to accommodate the plasterer(s) who are arriving early tomorrow morning to do some repairs.

Last night I fnally watched STARDUST, and what a lovely fantasy it is. Mark Strong, who plays the gangster-ish nightclub owner in MISS PETTIGREW, is the evil Prince Septimus, and I loved the whole madness of the brothers killing each other off to inherit the throne because it hits so close to home. Seeing Henry Cavill in it reminded me that tonight THE TUDORS begins, but I have to see the new SENSE & SENSIBILITY on PBS, so I guess I'll catch it tomorrow on the On Demand channel.

BK's posting last night about the letter from the Nudie Musical fan makes me wonder how many of you ihave contacted people who were an influence and told them? I've spoken to Judy Collins and the men in the Chad Mitchell Trio about how important they were to me in shaping my thinking and listening, and a couple of years ago I tracked down a person I worked with in the summer of 1966 to thank him for his counsel and thoughts during a lousy summer of working construction.

Oh, I'll post some later today. Right now I'm in the process of copying them all to disc for Paul's out of town friends who came from Michigan, NYC, Washington DC, Denver and Kansas City. We're all having brunch at 11:00 AM and I decided to give them each a disc as a momento of the show

Post by: Cillaliz on March 30, 2008, 09:32:20 AM: JRand, you must remember this is a show about graffiti and litter art. Many of the people there participated in wearing Paul's stencils on t-shirts, hats, jackets or scarves to surprise him. So it isn't a high fashion thing - it was a crazy fashion thing.

*And on a semi-related note, I haven't run into Donna Murphy at Rachel's lately either. However, with the way they semi-revamped the menu - and the vibe - last year, I guess I can understand why. :-\

*OH! And it's currently listed as Bargain Book on Amazon.com - only $8.99. So, if you're looking for less-stuffy, less-fussy version of the "Cook's Illustrated" approach to finding the "perfect recipe", I'd say it's more than well-worth the $8.99.

Quote
The narrative begins to lag in the latter portion of the second act, as does the career...

;D

However, he does give the 2-CD set an overall "thumbs up". And he also give very high praise for Susan Watson's new Jones & Schmidt CD. -Which I'm going to have to seek out now for my own collection.

From JRand:
DR JANE - after I read a book, I put a pencil circle around Page Number 26, my birthday, that way I know I've read it.....even if it's years later when I pick it up again.

That is a clever idea. I can’t bring myself to write in any book-it just seems wrong to me. I’m also getting rid of all most of my mass market paperbacks & books I just don’t feel the need to keep. Even with the tons of book shelves in this house, we are overflowing here. First the mass market are going, and then the books I didn’t really enjoy to begin with.

As I’m clearing out I realize I will end up with empty space on the shelves. I have now begun a pile of books I don’t need to keep that might have to go back on the shelves.

Post by: Jane on March 30, 2008, 11:46:48 AM: TCB-When do you return to the surgeon regarding your shoulder? I was just talking to a friend & found out years ago he had shoulder surgery for a rotator cuff. He said the rehab took a rather long time. The conversation came up because his good friend canceled a visit to Ashland as she will also be having surgery for a rotator cuff.

Post by: TCB on March 30, 2008, 11:56:15 AM: I am sitting here in front of the computer, but I am in horrible pain. I guess my rowing on the lake has finally caught up with my back. Wednesday I was a little sore, Thursday a little more, and by yesterday afternoon I was starting to eat the Vicodin like candy. (That is not really true, I only took two yesterday, but I wanted more.)

This morning I had to take one in order to sit at the computer, but so far, it is barely taking the edge off of the pain. I am supposed to be going to see my dear friend, Betzy, in her one woman show GERTRUDE STEIN X 3 this afternoon.

I can't get it to load on my PC, but apparently Craig Bierko has started a web Talk Show where he bathes celebrity interviewees in a bathtub. Sounds pretty far out!

I had forgotten just how much I loved that show - I saw it three times on Broadway - and just how many times I had listened to the OCR. The staged overture still ranks high on my list of "theatrical thrills".

DR Jose, I have added the peanut butter cookie recipe to my on-line file & printed it out for easy reading. Now I need to have an excuse to bake them.

Well...

Once you measure out all the ingredients, the dough comes together in well under 10 minutes. Then since you have to freeze the balls of cookie dough, you can just choose to bake as little or as many as you choose at a time. When I was living in Richmond, there was a time when I would keep a batch or two in the freezer since my roomie was addicted to anything with peanut butter in it. Sometimes we'd bake just two or three of them.

On another, completely unrelated subject: the vagaries of eBay bidders continue to amuse me. I have 45 DVDs listed, most of them "big" films like Funny Girl and As Good As It Gets, etc. The DVD sparking a near-violent bidding war: Visions of Ireland. :o

Post by: bk on March 30, 2008, 06:22:36 PM: Had a reasonable stumble through the show. Several actors attempted to be off book for act one with predictable results. Lots of missed blocking, but we'll clean all that up this week. We got through it (sans the choreographed musical numbers), though, so that's good. The theater's dramaturge and artistic director were there, very nice people both, but I found it odd that they would sit in on a rough stumble through such as this, since the cast was just worrying about where to be and what to do rather than performances.

BK's posting last night about the letter from the Nudie Musical fan makes me wonder how many of you ihave contacted people who were an influence and told them?

Just one--Van Dyke Parks. He wrote me back and was unbelievably gracious (this was about 10 years ago) and we have continued to correspond, as well as work together, and he has even visited us in Atlanta. No one else has been such an influence in my life as an example of not selling out and following your creative instincts.

The first two nights I'll be at the Marriott Downtown, and will probably be doing the NACDL stuff there is a possibility I may be availble to do something Friday night, but that's up in the air.

If you want something Greenwich Villagey and funky, and if you don't mind a show being a real downer as long as it's brilliant, I'd suggest off-Broadway's ADDING MACHINE. Discounts are sure to be had, but I thought it was a slit-your-wrists dramatic musical gem. And it features the excellent Joe Farrell, whom some may remember from TRADING SPACES FAMILY.

Hmm... Well, the four I'd pick from would be:

In the Heights
Gypsy
Passing Strange
Sunday in the Park with George

Although, if you can snag a ticket to the Patrick Stewart Macbeth....

I've been thinking about In The Heights and Gypsy. What's Passing Strange about?

Cilla - If you're thinking musicals, I'd suggest IN THE HEIGHTS, among the new musicals. The story is a little preposterous at (rare) times, but what an exciting show.

If you want something Greenwich Villagey and funky, and if you don't mind a show being a real downer as long as it's brilliant, I'd suggest off-Broadway's ADDING MACHINE. Discounts are sure to be had, but I thought it was a slit-your-wrists dramatic musical gem. And it features the excellent Joe Farrell, whom some may remember from TRADING SPACES FAMILY.

Thanks for the suggestion. There is a big Gala the Friday I'm at the meeting and I just refuse to pay $275 for dinner, so unless someone bought a table, has an extra seat and offers it to me, I may have Friday night free and being downtown, the Village would be fun.

I really don't know how much I'm going to hang out at the meeting. I will go to the CLE sessions that I need to go to, but other that that??? I went to NACDL meetings 3-4 times a year for almost 10 years, so I have a lot of friends there. After getting off the board of directors, I haven't gone to a meeting in 2 years. Things change rapidly in an organization like that and sometimes if you're not around you're really out of the loop. I have no idea how it's going to go down. So I'm either going to have a great time with my friends there and want to stay or I'll be ready to go to a show by Friday night and will be looking for HHW friends who may want to play. That Saturday and Sunday night I'll be at the Edison Hotel.

My friend Pam, from here, will be sharing a room with me at the Downtown Marriott. She goes to see a friend of hers from college and we just share hotel expenses. She's got tickets to a Central Park birding walking tour on Saturday AM and has invited me along. Has anyone taken that tour?

Well, RENT is still playing, isn't it?

Actually, Yes it is. It will be playing through the summer now. I've seen it 5-6 times. The first time was the very first stop on the very first tour. Then I saw it a couple months later on Broadway with most of the original cast. It's really sort of been downhill from there as far as the productions I've seen (different tours) and after the last one I decided I really don't ever need to see it again. I did go to the movie with DR Samantha when it first opened and we both loved it.

Paul's green hair, lol. He says it's much better than gray. It's permanent dye.

One of my suite-mates in college bleached his hair, dyed it green and went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans!

The field trip to Zombie Prom was a success. For the most part the kids enjoyed the show and the experience- there was some disappointment that I would not buy them unlimited snacks at intermission. A few were very into the show and later said that they had never been to a live show before, so I'm glad I went to the trouble of organizing.

Good for you! I have the cast recording and I really like it. I'd love to see the show, someday. :)

I MD'd the show a few years ago. It's a really great show, hopefully, it will come around again.

Next, I put in THE LAST STARFIGHTER on HD-DVD. I haven't seen this film since I reviewed it way back in 1984 for the newspaper syndicate that employed me. It was nice revisiting it, and I didn't remember a whole lot about it. Yes, the special effects are cartoonish in the extreme (one of the earliest examples of computer graphics), but it's still a lot of fun.

Did ya know that there's a musical based on this movie?? It's pretty good, too.

Post by: George on March 31, 2008, 12:29:24 AM: Well, I am going to bed. We have three days off from the show and I want to enjoy them...and one of the cast members is having a Brisket-O-Rama at her house tomorrow night, and it starts earlier than when I normally leave work, so I want to get to work early.

Good night, all. :)

I had decided to watch COLD CASE "live" and record JOHN ADAMS and THE TUDORS. Of course, no sooner do I get to CBS than I see BIG BROTHER is still on, so obviously a basketball game must have run late. Rats!
I hope you still recorded it - one of their better episodes.

The show had a guest spot by Shoshannah Stern, the deaf actress who played Bonnie in Jericho.
