Post by: JoseSPiano on October 31, 2011, 01:21:17 AM: And... I'm back in NYC. The bus driver made great(!!!!) time. We left DC at 11:43pm - two minutes early! And arrived at Penn Station at 3:25am. I'm sure he was most likely not driving the speed limit ;), however, there was also no traffic anywhere along the route from DC to NYC. There wasn't even any night work at the Lincoln Tunnel, so he sailed on through.

Post by: Ben on October 31, 2011, 02:39:41 AM: It was a beautiful (but chilly) day yesterday.

I don't have a picture of the Cherpumple. It wasn't complete. It was only a Cherpum. The Cher part was too heavy (he put it together with pumpkin on the bottom then apple then cherry) and squished the ple part so he took the ple part out. He iced the rest. It was OK. It was the first but I don't need to have it again. It's just too much and that's even without the ple.

Post by: elmore3003 on October 31, 2011, 05:10:49 AM: Good morning, all! I had a very, very peculiar dream involving being driven to an audition by Queen Elizabeth II, who drives like a fiend around London and auditions in a high soprano voice that only dogs for the most part can hear. The really odd part of this dream is that I was in a court room on some litigation case and the Queen showed up, when the whole thing became an audition.

Last night at 8:30, I went down to O'Lunney's on 50th Street next to the threatre where THE FANTASTICKS is playing, for one of David Lutken's hootenanny nights. David replaced Keith Carradine in THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES, and he is a fantastic performer, who knows every folksong ever written. I first ran into him during the City Opera's PAUL BUNYAN, in which he played the balladeer. Whenever he comes into town, he has one of his hootenannies and actors and musicians turn up with fiddles, guitars, basses, tambourines, mandolins, etc. and play along. Since David's in our show, a lot of the cast, producers, and stage manager showed up and it was a lot of fun. I left around 10, got home by 10:30, and I was in bed by 11:15.

Today at noon, we begin rehearsals, and I'm excited. I've got music to photocopy before I show up, but I think it will be a good day.

Fingers crossed.

More coffee!

Richard and I want to go see THE IDES OF MARCH, which means we'd be out during our community's appointed trick or treat hours. We usually don't get many kids anyway, so we may be grinches this year.

The view along the river on the train ride into Conshohoken was odd but lovely. The colors of the trees were more like Thanksgiving than Halloween. And the mist riding on the still river waters was appropriately eerie.

I didn't get much reading done about the life of Joe Papp...

Post by: JMK on October 31, 2011, 10:13:50 AM: I still have dim memories of some Kildare or Casey episode I caught whilst a child home sick from school and the show was running in reruns during daytime. It started with some young girl driving into a truck that had lumber sticking out of the back. They couldn't figure out why it had happened but ultimately discovered she was epileptic and had suffered a seizure because the truck's blinker light had created a seizure. Why I should remember this episode when I can't recall my children's names is rather disturbing.

Post by: Jennifer on October 31, 2011, 11:42:37 AM: I am wondering if my 2 year old niece will go out for Halloween tonight.I hope she does. Yesterday she was excited about it. But today she said she wasn't going. I wonder if she will change her mind when my sister, me and my niece go out.

I hope the little one at least tries it. Just so she can see what it is. She has a great costume. It's a purple unicorn. And it's super warm and snuggly.

Good morning, all! I had a very, very peculiar dream involving being driven to an audition by Queen Elizabeth II, who drives like a fiend around London and auditions in a high soprano voice that only dogs for the most part can hear. The really odd part of this dream is that I was in a court room on some litigation case and the Queen showed up, when the whole thing became an audition.

Last night at 8:30, I went down to O'Lunney's on 50th Street next to the threatre where THE FANTASTICKS is playing, for one of David Lutken's hootenanny nights. David replaced Keith Carradine in THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES, and he is a fantastic performer, who knows every folksong ever written. I first ran into him during the City Opera's PAUL BUNYAN, in which he played the balladeer. Whenever he comes into town, he has one of his hootenannies and actors and musicians turn up with fiddles, guitars, basses, tambourines, mandolins, etc. and play along. Since David's in our show, a lot of the cast, producers, and stage manager showed up and it was a lot of fun. I left around 10, got home by 10:30, and I was in bed by 11:15.

Today at noon, we begin rehearsals, and I'm excited. I've got music to photocopy before I show up, but I think it will be a good day.

Fingers crossed.

Fingers and toes. I am so excited for you elmore!

I still have dim memories of some Kildare or Casey episode I caught whilst a child home sick from school and the show was running in reruns during daytime. It started with some young girl driving into a truck that had lumber sticking out of the back. They couldn't figure out why it had happened but ultimately discovered she was epileptic and had suffered a seizure because the truck's blinker light had created a seizure. Why I should remember this episode when I can't recall my children's names is rather disturbing.

I remember that episode. It was BEN CASEY. The young woman who crashed into the truck was a nun. I believe the role was played by Zina Bethune

Much of the movie was filmed in the Cincinnati area and it was fun figuring out the various locations. The opening auditorium scene, we're pretty sure, was in Hall Auditorium at Miami University. Hall is not in the Farmer School of Business as they made it look. Also, at the end, when they're supposed to be at Xavier University in Cincinnati, the interior is clearly the Michigan League on the campus in Ann Arbor.

I seem to remember DR Jose commenting on similar incongruities that he picked up in BLACK SWAN.

I also had trouble buying the conceit that the same crew would be sent to a different location each week. More interesting for the writers, yes, but not how I suspect flight crew scheduling really works.

Thanks I am. I had a lot of pain in the night, though. I quit taking my vitamin D and I think that's what did it. I took a mega dose last night and slept flat on my back. I was much much better this morning. I'm not going to quit taking my D.

I'm not sure why you want to stop. How much do you take again?

Halloween was super fun. My little niece decided she would go out for Halloween. She looked so cute.

After the first few houses she turned to us and said "i love trick or treating". She really liked it. And she does not like strangers.

The weather was pretty mild. I don't know the exact temp. But it was maybe high 40s.

I had a pumpkin head hat on. Three people thought i was a kid and wanted to give me candy.

My sister said it was because i was holding a bag. :)

We've had a run of kids I would charitably call too old to be trick or treating. ;)

I've never minded that, as long as they don't come after the porch light is turned off.

Oh I just forgot for awhile and then thought I was feeling fine without it, so I didn't take it. I could really tell

The pianist who can't remember his kids' names?

At least I can play Gabe's name. :)

Um... So Gabe's nickname is "Gabc"?

Are you required to play notes sequentially in alphabetical order? Must make getting jobs difficult.

Post by: JMK on October 31, 2011, 07:32:52 PM: In fact I wrote a rather lovely lullaby for Gabe (if I do say so myself, which I do) with those first four notes, which my friend Susannah Mars sang in a cabaret we did, with one set devoted to children. (We did a lovely Alan Broadbent-Dave Frishberg tune, too, as I recall. I think it's called "Heart's Desire").

I came to your town and there's nothing I do not know, for a walk?‏ Can I ask you? "Was you ever have sex with a Russian girl? Would you like to try it?" I am now in America - a guy looking for dating and sex.

From one "AMY Evans." LOL.

I actually ran out of candy. I'm shocked.

Post by: bk on October 31, 2011, 10:06:32 PM: Well, it was our usual busy Halloween, with hundreds of kiddies and teens stopping by. First we had a rehearsal with Melody - that went very well. She and her dad then went out to trick or treat in the nabe but were back in six minutes - she felt that she was the oldest person trick or treating and wasn't having fun (there were many older than her but they came later) - she asked her father and I if she could stay at the house and hand out candy with me - that was fine by me and fine by her dad, so she did all the candy giving out and did a fine job. After three hours of that, I finally took her home. I'm a little exhausted right now.
