Well, you've read the notes, the notes did The July Dance, and now it is time for you to post until the July cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERIPHRASIS!
-
Welcome six GUESTS.
-
***FAME, FORTUNE, & HEALTH VIBES***
for bk and all DRs as we enter July!!!!!
-
I must be in a murder mystery mode. My brain worked out a very elaborate plot in a dream last night. But now, of course, I can't remember much of it.
-
DR George, thanks for the link. It was very interesting reading about your director's "take" on updating Romeo & Juliet.
-
Glad that you and the DH enjoyed the theatre last night, DR Ginny! :)
-
***VIBES OF PATIENCE AND RECUPERATION***
to DR Sam!!!!!!
-
From Yesterday
DR Jose
I did not have the opportunity to go to orlando to see Faith P and Davis G in Sweeney Todd. Although when I saw her in concert she mentioned she was going to do it and she sang one (No One is Going To harm You) and maybe a second song.
She is sooo good. I love seeing her cabaret show.
-
I'm off soon to the Starr Foundation for a morning presentation then it's back to the office to review a file from two of my colleagues.
Tomorrow I don't have any presentations but I have to work on the file and then I'm leaving at 12:30 for Long Island.
I'm sure the time at Fred and Skip's will be sparkling. If you talk about me be nice 8)
-
It is beginning to seem that JMK may have been on to something, even if he may have said it partly in jest: that the noticeable slew of 1-star bad ratings for my YouTube's seems to routinely happen after I post the link on the castrecl list. I'm testing this right now by having waited a few days to post to catrecl with the Carolina video, but now i'm doing it at a time where there are 27 rating at a 4-1/2 star average, so any damage won't hit as hard if it's only two or three people doing it.
-
Ben - do you want the links to some AIG parody numbers to take with you? :) :) :)
-
July brings to mind that song from PILLOW TALK
July, you dog, and you'll be sorry
July, you hound, and that's not fair
:)
-
Ben - do you want the links to some AIG parody numbers to take with you? :) :) :)
Gee, thanks for thinking of me, but I'll pass :-*

ASK BK
Do you think any of these recordings might be potential releases?
UA Records
Jule Styne: My Name Is Jule.
Roulette
Two Pearl Bailey LPs combined with similar themes
Pearl Bailey: Back on Broadway
Pearl Bailey Sing Harold Arlen
-
The heartbreak of PERIPHRASIS.
My favorite tagline from tv commercials
-
SONG OF THE MONTH
A SLEIGH RIDE IN JULY nominated for an Academy Award in 1945. Introduced by Dinah Shore
-
or perhaps the following which would be a stretch
A Cinema In Buenos Aires, 26 July 1952 from Evita
-
ASK BK #2
What about Composer Demos for well known shows like
Kander/Ebb Chicago
Styne/Merrill Funny Girl
with songs cut prior to Broadway and songs that did make it to Broadway but had different lyrics.
-
Patience and wrapping up vibes for DR SAM.
-
Wednesday, and a few things to do, and rehearsal tonight. Another "light" night - one scene and one song.
-
I think I ordered COPS & ROBBERS as an investment Kritzerland release....but the new releases also sound intriguing. As long as people stay interested in knowing the future, I can keep buying the new releases.
-
My first question for ASK BK day....is there going to be a New York reading of TFNM?
-
Christine Lahti will join the cast of the long-running NBC hit Law & Order: SVU for four episodes next season as an assistant district attorney.
Stephanie March will also return for 10 episodes as ADA Alexandra Cabot.
-
My question for BK:
One of my all-time favorite movie scores is RUN OF THE ARROW by Victor Young. I think it was his last.
Any chance of ever seeing that soundtrack out on CD, either by Kritzerland or somebody else?
-
Wednesday morning greetings! How did it get to be July already? Hard to believe I've been retired for half a year.
-
DR BEN is getting to be quite the presenter!
-
Here is a new show out at Universal - Florida I guess. I am hoping NO ONE involved has Broadway aspirations. They obviously never saw the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.

Five years for me DR GINNY....and yes it's hard to believe!

Good morning, all! I just had a wonderful call from my beloved sister-in-law and chef par excellence Jo. She and Randy fly to Seattle tomorrow morning for a cruise up the coast to Alaska. This was a reip my dad wanted to take fro years and never accomplished, so Randy and Jo are doing it for him. After the cruise, they're doing a tour of Western US historical sites, and I hope they have a great time. I hope they have a great time.
This morning, I'm down to Toyland for some work, then back here to update all my footnotes and bibliography for the Main Report on Babes in Toyland. Part of the week as well must be given over to updating the recording notes on Babes In Toyland and Lady of the Slipper. I keep thinking that I'm signing off on this score and it doesn't happen!
I forgot to sign up on virtual line this morning. Oy!
-
Good mornign all! I am SOOO glad I have finished all the kitchen painting I'm going to do until the counters are installed. I'm going to the lake tomorrow and had planned to do the painting when I come home, now I can relax and enjoy my vacation without thinking about all the work I want to get done in the the last 2 days of vacation that i'll spend at my house.
-
But first, work this morning.
-
DR Jane, re the pilot of ROYAL PAINS. I watched as much as i could (which was most). It't not up online on the citytv website (the channel that shows it in canada). And USA online does not let you view from canada (as don't most of the other places i tried).
-
Christine Lahti will join the cast of the long-running NBC hit Law & Order: SVU for four episodes next season as an assistant district attorney.
Stephanie March will also return for 10 episodes as ADA Alexandra Cabot.
I don't watch the show, but you forgot the most important (i would think) news.
Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay have inked new deals to remain on the beat for not one but two more years! (according to michael ausiello).
-
Happy Canada Day! Fingers crossed for the fire works tonight.
-
JRand, that musical Creature clip....well, I shant rush to Florida anytime soon.
-
Here is a new show out at Universal - Florida I guess. I am hoping NO ONE involved has Broadway aspirations. They obviously never saw the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU42USygGL4
That is so bad.
-
Well, I've cleaned out 100+ emails, made the bed, dressed, and I guess I'm off to Toyland. I'll check in from there.
-
Druxy, Now that you've been there awhile...How is Austin working out? Settling in? Culture shock? Advantages? Disadvantages? Things you miss about LA?
-
Good morning!
Another cool morning and another hot day. Quite a pattern!
-
This is also the first day of National Ice Cream Month - you know what to do...
-
Happy Canada Day! Fingers crossed for the fire works tonight.
I was going to wish you and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day! What is its significance?
-
This is also the first day of National Ice Cream Month - you know what to do...
I bought ice cream at the grocery store last Friday for the first time in at least six months. I honestly love it so much I could have it every day. Of course, I'm back to my once a week treat with it.
-
It simply cannot be July! I cannot account for very much of June at all. It simply flew by in a blur.
-
My work project today will be the Blu-ray of 12 ROUNDS. It stars the WWE's John Cena, so my expectations are low. There appear to be a fair number of bonus features, so this will take me most of the afternoon, and I may not finish until later today.
-
My friend Jeff has invited me over for dinner tonight to introduce me to his new boy friend. They've been dating about four months, but this will be the first opportunity I've had to meet him. I'm thinking they're getting ready to take it to the next step, but I'll find out more about that tonight.
-
A very nice young woman, who resembles Alfre Woodard, is freshening up our room at the moment.
-
And the word of the day is: PERIPHRASIS!
And The Song Of The Day Is: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALDOCIOUS

On TV TOnight!™
NBC - AMERICA'S GOT TALENT (two hours), THE PHILANTHROPIST
ABC - WIPEOUT, JAPANESE GAME SHOW, PRIMETIME: CRIME
FOX - SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?
BRA - THE FASHION SHOW (new night)
-
Tonight on TCM is a Bette Davis movie I've never seen - FOG OVER FRISCO. I must remember to set the DVR to catch it.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it is July.
-
DR elmore - You can sign up for tonight's performance up until 1:00pm. So, there's still time to sign up if you haven't done so already.
-
On this day in 1731, Benjamin Franklin founded the Library Company of Philadelphia, the forerunner to what we know today as public libraries.
-
DR Jennifer I hope you saw some great fireworks last night. I had meant to wish you a happy Canada Day.
-
A very nice young woman, who resembles Alfre Woodard, is freshening up our room at the moment.
Maybe it is Alfre Woodard researching a role.
Greetings frpm Toyland! The AC is on and I am happy.
-
Druxy, Now that you've been there awhile...How is Austin working out? Settling in? Culture shock? Advantages? Disadvantages? Things you miss about LA?
Texas is definitely different from Los Angeles. More laid back. People are certainly friendlier.
On the other hand, I do miss my friends. Even though I didn't see some of them all that often, they were there and, if we wanted, we could get together for lunch or whatever. I would have loved to have gone to BK's staged reading a couple of weeks ago.
I AM making some connections here; meeting new people involved in local theater and filmmaking. There seems to be some interest in several places, so hopefully, something will come of that.
I gave a talk at the Austin Network Mixer last week, a place where entertainment industry people meet twice a month. Sold quite a few books there.
But, what I really miss most is Canter's. Austin does not have a good deli. I long for a good corned beef sandwich on Jewish rye.
:'(
How was it for you when you moved?
-
July?!? How can it be July already? I haven't even sang-a about June-a yet!
-
ASK BK
Do you think any of these recordings might be potential releases?
UA Records
Jule Styne: My Name Is Jule.
Roulette
Two Pearl Bailey LPs combined with similar themes
Pearl Bailey: Back on Broadway
Pearl Bailey Sing Harold Arlen
Not at this time. The UA record catalog went different places - the people I'm dealing with specifically have the shows and soundtracks but not the other stuff, like vocalists and jazz.
-
ASK BK #2
What about Composer Demos for well known shows like
Kander/Ebb Chicago
Styne/Merrill Funny Girl
with songs cut prior to Broadway and songs that did make it to Broadway but had different lyrics.
There is a label (Bayview?) who've done some demo releases - I don't think they sell very well. Clearances can be a nightmare, however, depending on how the demo was recorded and by whom. I do have quite a few of these things, so who knows.
-
My first question for ASK BK day....is there going to be a New York reading of TFNM?
We're thinking about it. It depends on a lot of things - mostly cost. If it's to happen this year, it would be in October or thereabouts.
-
Good Morning. Happy first day of July.
-
My question for BK:
One of my all-time favorite movie scores is RUN OF THE ARROW by Victor Young. I think it was his last.
Any chance of ever seeing that soundtrack out on CD, either by Kritzerland or somebody else?
I believe it's owned by Universal and they're a tough nut to crack.
-
Apparently it's also Build a Scarecrow Day.
-
I'm up. As per usual, very noisy this morning, and then the noise becomes less as soon as I leave the bed.

:D

Ice Cream month? It's about time! I've been faux celebrating all year!
-
DR Jose - the Cranberry Deli is now 24/7. We found that out Sunday evening when we went over there about 8pm and asked if they were closing soon.
-
A deli open 24 hours? Those New Yorkers know how to LIVE!!
-
Well, I had planned on showering much later in the day closer to the time for me to leave for dinner at my friend's house. However, now I think I'll shower when I go down in a few minutes so I will have that out of the way and can spend as much time as I need this afternoon finishing my work project and getting it uploaded to the worksite.
Trying to balance time to its best advantage is not always easy.
-
Sorry to say that even though I've never loved the HTF, mostly due to the despots who run it and moderate it, some of the most ego-ridden and ignorant people ever, I did go there to check out stuff about DVD and now Blu-Ray releases and to read MattH's reviews. Their discussion board, while way too busy for my tastes, was run by vBulletin, which is sort of like most discussion boards, including this one. Their new discussion board is ridiculous - unfriendly, cold, bad-looking, difficult to navigate, filled with ads everywhere you look, slow as molasses, and on and on and on. Very few over there seem happy with it and I think it was a major miscalculation on the part of the owners. Simply, they were contacted by a company who promised them huge buckets of dough from ad revenue. And since the site began born out of the ego of its owners, and since the ego stuff is probably old these eleven years later, now it's all about revenue for them - they admit they both have day jobs and they want the HTF to pay them enough so they can quit. Are - they - MAD? People come there to read posts, not to purchase things, not to see ads floating around on every page, and since we're in a recession, this was not a very good time to do what they did. Nor will it work.

Heading down now to take care of business.

DR MBarnum, he or she is talking to you! This Bollywood film is almost lke Pirandello, but it isn't Italian.
-
I'm baaaaaccck. Oy, what a month--I have finally finished the mammoth pre-records, which were an extremely daunting task. Of course, then the director and producer decided to magically come up with enough money to hire more pit musicians, so I have been scrambling to find people for a show that opens next week, and actually have done that, too! So, as strange as it seems, my life gets considerably easier now that we're in the "tech home stretch" and about to open.
Oh, wait a minute--isn't there a Bar Mitzvah or something coming up? Oy!
-
Ice Cream month? It's about time! I've been faux celebrating all year!
I call it preparation.

Has anyone co-opted "Your Hair is Ripe But You're Still a Dodo" for their coming novel yet?

Boy--I show up again and everyone high tails it outta here. I showered this morning and everything.

Good morning, DR JMK....50 years ago, Frances was doing her daily television show and enjoying Indianapolis. This month she would have been getting ready for live shows from the State Fair!
-
This has been a delightfully relaxing and refreshing morning. We're about to head out for some lunch and HAIR - bye for now!
-
Good morning, DR JMK....50 years ago, Frances was doing her daily television show and enjoying Indianapolis. This month she would have been getting ready for live shows from the State Fair!
And 65 years ago she and Lillian were about to have their little coffee klatsch in front of assembled press. After which she ran away again. :)
-
Good Afternoon!
DR Ginny - Good to know that Cranberry has gone 24/7. Perfect for all those late-night rehearsals at the Roundabout Rehearsal studios next door, I guess. ;)
-
A deli open 24 hours? Those New Yorkers know how to LIVE!!
We sure do! ;)
Does anyone know if it's actually cheaper - maybe even easier - for some places to stay open 24 hours than to close for a couple of hours each evening?
*I can't remember the particular restaurant I'm thinking of right now, but their hours of operation are 5:00AM-3:00AM. I've always thought, "Why not just stay open 24 hours?"

Actually, I suspect that CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON could turn out pretty well, since it does have a theatre-oriented pedigree.
This is a link to the website of its composer Fred Barton
http://www.fredbarton.com/latestnews.html
Fred [Barton] is co-composer-lyricist-librettist for Universal's THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, playing at the Universal Studios Park in Los Angeles. After 20 years, Fred joins forces again with co-lyricist, co-librettist, and director Gerard Alessandrini. Jonathan Tolins is the scriptwriter, Lynne Taylor-Corbett is the choreographer, and the production is co-produced by Marc Routh and Broadway Attractions.

I am back from Starr. It went very well. The COO and the President were very happy about the outcome (those being people from my place of employment). The people at Starr also seemed suitably impressed.
I look forward to getting on the train tomorrow afternoon and playing Tetris until I get into Ronkonkoma Station.
-
Fred Barton also did the marvelous, wonderful and hysterical
Miss Gulch Returns (http://www.fredbarton.com/gulch.html)
from which comes the song
Pour Me a Man (http://www.fredbarton.com/gulch.html#mp3s)

I will tell you one thing I love about the new HTF. It finally works with MSN. For some reason, when I tried viewing pages in MSN (with their proprietary IE add-on), pages would simply cancel, no matter how many times I disabled pop-ups, etc. The only way I could view HTF was by going through a browser itself--whether that be IE or Firefox or whatever. The new Board software works just fine with MSN, which is usually what I have up and running, so I don't need to switch back and forth.

Four years and three months, exactly - if I live that long.

The last 24 hours I have been spending money as if I had it. Two, for me, major purchases. Now, you must realize that when I buy Extra Lean Ground Beef, instead of hamburger, it usually makes the Five O'Clock News, so I am not talking a new house or a car or anything.
-
I almost made it three major purchases. If things had worked out better schedule-wise, I would have been showing up on Fred and Skip's door in time for dinner tomorrow night! But, oh well, it was not to be.

Indeed, that is Nasir Hussain, who pops up in just about every other yesteryear Bollywood movie as a father or bad guy.
I didn't know you had seen that many Bollywood clips. I am so proud!
-
Hmmm, I just watched the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON YouTube. Thnaks for linking it, Jrand. Is this something Universal released or something a fan put up on YouTube? I didn't get any sense of what's sure to be the spectacle from that clip, and I really had trouble hearing the words, so i wonder how it was shot.

Very sorry to hear about Karl Malden.
I interviewed him for my first book. Had lunch at Frascatti's on Sunset.
He was a fine actor and a very nice man.

A busy afternoon for me. I did get washing, combed, and set for my dinner engagement tonight. That will free up time later for writing and posting today's review.

I love my retirement.
However, the fact that you will be working 23 more years means YOU'RE YOUNG. Enjoy it while you can. It is HELL getting old. I mean that.
-
While I ate a little snack (a couple of crackers and a salad) to quell hunger until dinnertime, I watched last night's RESCUE ME. Very good episode (except for a very troubling scene where Tommy deliberately burned himself. Weird and sick. Troubling).
-
Then I watched my work project for the day: the Blu-ray of 12 ROUNDS. It's a cat and mouse film: bad guy has good guy's girl friend and spends the day sending him on little jobs in order to save her (think the first half of DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE). Works well as a brain-dead action movie until the plot falls apart near the end (how he finally figures out what the bad guy is REALLY up to).
The Blu-ray looks excellent. Sound for an action movie might have needed to be revved up a little more.
-
I watched the unrated version which was a minute longer than the PG-13 theatrical cut. A little more profanity in it (a couple of F-words) was basically the only difference I could note.
There were two commentaries which I did healthy samples of.
There were 8 bonus features, the longest of which was about 30 minutes.
-
This has been a bizarre streak of celebrity deaths. Along with Karl Malden, Mollie Sugden has also died today.
-
I really didn't have enough time to watch anything else this afternoon, and I doubt I'll get anything else watched today before I leave for dinner. I don't plan to stay a super long time. They're heading out to Virginia Beach tomorrow, and I don't want to overstay.
-
Very sorry to read about Karl Malden. I've reviewed the last couple of STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO sets (I never watched the show when it was on broadcast TV), and I enjoyed him in it. I could see why he got Emmy nominations for his work./

We're back from a delightful lunch at Zen Palate and seeing HAIR (second time for me - first was in Ann Arbor in 1971/2). Richard had not seen it before - he tried in London right after he got out of the Army in 1970, but couldn't get a ticket. I've decided that the Hirschfeld is one of my favorite Broadway theaters.

Beloved British TV actress Mollie Sugden has died, aged 86.
The TV star passed away in hospital in Surrey, England on Wednesday after a long running illness, according to her agent.
Her twin sons Robin and Simon were by her bedside.
Sugden shot to fame in Brit sitcom Are You Being Served? in 1972 and appeared in a string of other television shows, including The Liver Birds and long-running soap opera Coronation Street

Druxy, Now that you've been there awhile...How is Austin working out? Settling in? Culture shock? Advantages? Disadvantages? Things you miss about LA?
Texas is definitely different from Los Angeles. More laid back. People are certainly friendlier.
On the other hand, I do miss my friends. Even though I didn't see some of them all that often, they were there and, if we wanted, we could get together for lunch or whatever. I would have loved to have gone to BK's staged reading a couple of weeks ago.
I AM making some connections here; meeting new people involved in local theater and filmmaking. There seems to be some interest in several places, so hopefully, something will come of that.
I gave a talk at the Austin Network Mixer last week, a place where entertainment industry people meet twice a month. Sold quite a few books there.
But, what I really miss most is Canter's. Austin does not have a good deli. I long for a good corned beef sandwich on Jewish rye.
:'(
How was it for you when you moved?
We have moved so many times & each experience has been different. One thing I always do now is join the local Newcomers Club. I always find a book discussion group. It can be exhausting meeting new people all the time when you don't have comfortable friends to fall back on. It takes time. I figure it can take up to two years to really feel comfortable with new people, it depends how lucky you are.
Considering how long we have lived here we should have a busier social life. I think we have turned into homebodies, at least at night.

I am back from Starr. It went very well. The COO and the President were very happy about the outcome (those being people from my place of employment). The people at Starr also seemed suitably impressed.
:D

And they keep on coming. (going)

Veteran actor Jan Rubes has died, aged 89.
Rubes passed away on Tuesday. His cause of death was unknown as WENN went to press.
Born in Czechoslovakia, the star found fame in the 1940s as an opera singer and won first prize at the Geneva International Music Festival in 1948.
He furthered his career by moving to Canada before branching out into acting.
His most noted role was opposite Harrison Ford in 1985 film Witness,

Sears Tower set to open ‘Ledge’ to thrill seekers (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31683947/ns/travel-destinations/)

Such a busy day, and not in a good way. So many people. I hope they all had wonderful lives. At least none of them were young. DR Druxy thanks for the tidbit on Carl Malden.
-
DR DAW, thanks for the photos of the paper castle :)
-
Very sorry to hear about Karl Malden.
I interviewed him for my first book. Had lunch at Frascatti's on Sunset.
He was a fine actor and a very nice man.
It is a shame that he didn't want to appear in public during the last number of years. He had some kind of eye problems that he didn't want people to see how what his appearance was
I'm glad he didn't want to appear in public. Some stars have common sense and realize when it's time to step away from the spotlight. Far too many people don't have the sense to quietly retire. He was 97 fricking years old. He didn't need to be making public appearances.

Well, I need to leave work now and go home for a bit before beginning the second weekend of "Romeo & Juliet." Tonight, we're having a special $5 performance, so we'll see if more people come tonight or not. :-\ But those who have seen it, seemed to enjoy it.
Until later!

Sorry to hear about all these deaths - not the ones where the people were REALLY older, like approaching ninety - that's too good a run for sadness - but Presnell was a young seventy-five.

DR Jennifer I hope you saw some great fireworks last night. I had meant to wish you a happy Canada Day.
The fireworks were tonight. Canada Day is today.
I did a BBQ at 5:30pm. It started to downpour at 6pm. Till 7:15pm. At 7:20pm we went to see if the event and fireworks were cancelled. I assumed they would be cancelled.
But there were hundreds of people already there. And it only drizzed a little. But from 8-10pm there no rain at all. And they had the fireworks.
-
I just know that the actors that I grew up and admired are, I am sure, near the end of their runs. I have a feeling that in the next 6 months we are going to lose many of our great stars. In my opinion there are hardly any one of today's generation that will be able to replace them.
Most stars these days their longevity are not the same as the stars like Karl Malden

Happy Canada Day! Fingers crossed for the fire works tonight.
I was going to wish you and all Canadians a Happy Canada Day! What is its significance?
Canada Day is basically Canada's birthday. It's a national holiday celebratrating the 1867 anniversary of the British North American Act, in which canada became a country.

Back from Avenue Q, which was fun. Richard, sitting on the aisle as he prefers, got to wear one of the "take up a collection" hats for a few seconds. And this afternoon, Jackie Burns performed a rather lewd gesture right in his face during Hair.

Back when other girls were ga-ga over John, Paul, George, and Ringo, Harve Presnell was my heartthrob. I'd seen him in the national tour of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, with Karen Morrow as Molly, in the early '60s, then as Billy Bigelow in a wonderful Carousel when I was in high school. Richard and I saw him as Daddy Warbucks in one of the last Annie performances here in NY in 1983.
News of his death makes me very sad.

Good Evening!
I think the weathermen and weatherwomen should just keep predicting rain since it did not rain today. It seems whenever they predict a chance of rain, then we get the deluge. Today's forecast - at least when I left the house earlier this afternoon - called for rain starting around 4:00 and continuing through the evening. Well... The skies did get a bit cloudy around 4:00, but then then cleared, and it turned into quite a nice - if a bit humid night - in New York City.
Needless to say, I lost track of just how many block - miles - I walked today. But I'd have to say at least six. :)

I had to run a bit ago. Edith has been approved for a home loan and is out shopping for a house. She and her daughter thought they found the house of their dreams and sent me an email. So I went over and they were there looking at it. It's the first house she's looked at.
Good bones but very dated. It's a nice neighborhood, but I think she can do better. Her realtor has a whole group for them to see on Friday. She said "Oh no! You'll be gone" LOL, I'm glad she trusts me enough to want me to help her. I love house hunting.
-
I think it will help to have her husband look with her. I also really like her realtor, seems down to earth and had already warned her about things like flood insurance in the houses near Perry Creek, etc. I was glad to hear that

And what a transformation he did between the stage and screen versions of MOLLY BROWN! He was quite a bit heavier when he did MOLLY BROWN on Broadway and lost a considerable amount of weight for the movie camera.

I'm back from a wonderful dinner with a dear friend (whom I don't see enough of) and his boy friend of close to five months. No announcements tonight, but they seem very compatible, and I'm so thrilled for them both. I know Jeff has been wanting something steady for a long, long time.
-
George, I think it was the father-in-law.

George, are you sure it wasn't the father-in-law?

Dinner was just scrumptious with chicken marsala, broccoli, corn on the cob, a green salad, and apple pie a la mode for dessert.
I'm not ashamed to say that I ate like a pig. I'm really not accustomed to eating my main meal of the day at night, so I was truly starving, and it was SO good. I had seconds, and Jeff fixed a plate for me to bring home of the leftovers.

So, are they likely to dim the lights on Broadway for Karl Malden and/or Harve Presnell?
-
Here is a new show out at Universal - Florida I guess. I am hoping NO ONE involved has Broadway aspirations. They obviously never saw the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU42USygGL4
The Creature from the Black Lagoon (http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/attraction_creature_black_lagoon.html) is the new show at Universal Studios-Hollywood that replaced their Spider Man Spectacular - which had replaced their Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show (which is still running in Universal Studios-Japan (http://www.usj.co.jp/e/)). It's just meant to be a 30-40 minute theme park show where the audience can see some dancing, costumes and stunts and hear some familiar (or familiar-sounding) music. And, hopefully, have a good time - and get off their feet for a while in an air-conditioned theatre. ;)
The current rock and roll show at Universal Studios-Orlando is Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue (http://www.universalorlando.com/theme-parks/universal-studios-orlando/attractions/live-shows.html).
*And, yes, I have worked for USJ before. ;)
-
DR JMK - I do hope that your tech for The Producers does indeed go smoothly. -So how many live pieces/players are you up to now?
-
So, are they likely to dim the lights on Broadway for Karl Malden and/or Harve Presnell?
I'm sure they will. I'm sure there will be some sort of announcement made within the next 24 hours - it could happen as soon as tomorrow night. -I'm just wondering if they will "combine" the tributes or honor each man on different nights.
-
Hmmm, I just watched the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON YouTube. Thnaks for linking it, Jrand. Is this something Universal released or something a fan put up on YouTube? I didn't get any sense of what's sure to be the spectacle from that clip, and I really had trouble hearing the words, so i wonder how it was shot.
It looks like someone shot from the audience. Definitely not pro shot
And, yes, that's definitely a clip from someone's vacation video.

And speaking of Ice Cream...
The other day, DR DAW mentioned the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck (http://www.biggayicecreamtruck.com/), and, lo and behold, what should I happen to come across today while I was walking around Union Square...
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2623/3680807346_ba5c83e5d4.jpg)

I finished watching a motion picture on Blu-Ray and am now watching an actual DVD, which I haven't done in ages. It's an import of Doug Sirk's A Time To Love And A Time To Die - what an odd motion picture it is, but it looks quite good upscaled.
-
Would you buy ice cream from this man?
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2676/3680099889_ce84931083.jpg)
I did. :)
That's Doug Quint who runs The Big Gay Ice Cream truck. I actually got a chance to chat with him twice today, once down at Union Square, and then again up by the Port Authority. I just happened to be walking uptown, and noticed that he had moved there. It also turns out that he's a fellow musician, a bassoonist, and he plays Broadway shows too. He was with Beauty & the Beast for a while, and he currently subs into South Pacific every now and then.
He also got a mention in today's NY Times in the article about the current "Food Truck Wars":
Turf War at the Hot Dog Cart (http://bit.ly/11gALt)
*And since he had been trapped in his truck all day, I went ahead and bought a copy of today's Times so that he could have a hard copy of the article.
-
SHOW GIRL is so much fun.
-
...And while we were chatting up by the Port Authority, a very tall and imposing man came up to the truck... "Hey, I heard you threw some ice cream on someone!"... Then he flashed a badge. A police badge. He turned out to be an undercover cop.
I haven't thrown anything on anyone.
"Are you sure? We just got the call." -Then another cop came up. More badge flashing.
-I've been talking with him for the past 20 minutes, and he's done nothing.
"Well, someone said they saw you throw ice cream on someone."
You can ask the pizza guy over there. He's been watching me all night. Nothing's happened.
That's when the cops started laughing.
"You're OK, guy. Just making sure you're doing all right tonight."
Whew!
And, actually, it was funny. And the cops were cute too. ;)
-
Wow, how nice to read the posts again.
Thanks for all the cheer.
And the sadness of those who passed away today.

Hi, DR Sam! -Will you be able to take a part of this upcoming holiday weekend as a holiday? I hope so.
-
A really great Thursday for all of us.
And Christmas in July (from when I used to watch the Home Shopping channel).
My TV no longer works because of the signal change, and I just don't feel like going out to buy a new one, let's see how long before TV withdrawls set in.

Hi Jose,
4th of July, you bet.
I live across from the CBS lot, which has great fireworks.. I can watch from my window, or my front lawn at the building, or go across the street and down to the LA river where the sound bounces off the walls and sounds like thunder (and the ground moves).
-
And I do believe dinner is at Tom's next door. He cooks, I bring over his favorite vodka.
When the fireworks start, I leave to watch them along with several hundred other people who come to hang out on the street from all over town, and he and the dogie take sedatives.
-
Good night all.
Till tomarrow.

Almost forgot, thanks for all the pics everyone.
The paper castle is incredible, and so is Jose's mural.

-
And back-tracking to yesterday's discussion of The Little Mermaid closing...
In another case of bad timing, the next set of auditions - the six-month replacement call - happened to get posted yesterday morning... Before the closing announcement was made in the afternoon. I'm guessing those auditions - which were to take place the first week of August - will most likely be cancelled. :-\
-
DR Ginny - It sounds like you and DH Richard are having a very good Week of Theatre. And, yes, we will make sure you start heading down to the lobby at 7:00 tomorrow for your quick cab ride to the Laura Pels.

Well, my bed beckons me to sleep. Well, it would if it could beckon. In any case...
Goodnight.
