Well, you've read the notes, you'll be reading Filichia on Friday, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently entranced with Filichia on Friday.

Good morning, all! This was my first mrning I could sleep late and so I did. I think I stumbled out of bed around 7:15. This morning, I guess we finish blocking the show and then deal with the music. The cast has a lot of memorization of text and notes. We've just got our first round of publicity:
http://www.islandpacket.com/2011/11/03/1851169/broadway-veterans-bring-the-sounds.html

So, today and tomorrow we finish up the show here. On Sunday our wonderful stage manager Meg runs the marathon, and on Monday morning I head south. I don't know what the computer situation will be in Hilton Head, so I may be E&T all week.

DR John G, a Betty Buckley album for anything more than a penny is a waste of  money in my book! She's too many of my more unpleasant memories of working with the NYC Gay Men's Chorus. On the other hand, if you like her arrangement of "C'est Magnifique," you probably would have loved the early 1980s disco revival of CAN-CAN, with Zizi Grandmere and choreography by her husband Roland Petit.

TOD: Sorry, no time, not even for the VCR!

No, Larry, I didn't care for that arrangement any more than JMK cared for his bossa nova "All I Ask of You." And disco "Can-Can"? Sounds like the Tommy Tune Studio 54 musical in the works. Oy and vey.

Just received the Varese Alfred Hitchcock Hour Vol 2 Herrmann CD collection although I haven't heard it yet (I do like those double thickness jewel cases - although it doesn't match with Vol 1 now!). I have every episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour on a set of DVD-R discs. I can't see Universal ever releasing them on DVD or Blu-ray.

TOD:

BD:  just finished writing up this impressive new boxed set of Jethro Tull's Aqualung, one of EMI's deluxe new sets featuring BDs, CDs, DVDs, LPs and books.  I also started DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (MBarnum and JR, it's made for you two) and FARSCAPE.

CD:  listened to some of the FSM Rozsa set this morning.

DR Jane's comments the other day about never being #1 on her library's reserved list reminded me of what happened to me today.

There is a book that came out this Tuesday (nov 1st). Somehow my library got it already and it's ready to go out. I reserved it march 21st. And today see I am #2.  At the time I reserved it this was a book i really wanted to read. I never figured that anybody would reserve it more than 7 months in advance. Although I won an arc (advanced reader's copy), so i read it a few weeks ago (so it doesn't matter). It's just you can never know how far in advance to reserve a book!

Quote
Are you never first because there are so many libraries that go in the same system?

Because I don't follow the latest book news anymore & don't usually request books early enough.  This one surprised me since the author seems to have a following.

There was a time, years & years ago, when I was regularly the first person to request a book.

In our system, the moment a book or DVD goes up on the computer system as having been ordered, it's fair game for reserve. Sometimes that could be months and months.

Where was this BEFORE Craig's weekend in San Antonio? ;)

He said the food & service was excellent everywhere except for one very strange restaurant.  This restaurant takes pride on bad service, insults & being downright crude.  Craig said they need a disclaimer outside the restaurant for unsuspecting customers.  I think the biggest insult was that the food was mediocre. 

DR John G do you know where he ate?

New favorite quote o'the day whilst channel surfing department: (must be said with an extremely exaggerated drawl for full effect) "It's a hard thing to take that my wife is doing time in jail for a dead gerbil."

The United States is heading toward demise.  My reaction after watching the drawling fool quoted above.  His wife encouraged their son to kill his pet gerbil, violently so (won't get into details).  And he doesn't think she really did anything wrong.  Good Lord.

I wonder if there's a Bossa Nova version (whether or not by Betty Buckley) of "Doing Time in Jail for a Dead Gerbil."

It's been a very frustrating day today. Tempers were short, I was testy, I'm feeling very insecure at the moment, and I expect tomorrow will be better. I think we're all feeling the tightness of the schedule, the pressure on the cast in dealing with too little time to learn too much music  many lyrics and chord symbols, and blocking. Everyone's got an "if we only had more time ro deal with . . ." or "will they ever learn that . . ." or "some staging here might help them freeze that . . ." or "if the audience is going to sing along, why did you ask me to write something pretty and choral . . ."

So, it was a very tense afternoon, and the ordeal of getting home because of the absofuckinlutely lousy New York traffic only added to the frustration. I hate getting into a taxi cab where the damned meter is already charging an extra $1.50 for God alone knows what.  And because our pricipal cast member is in a show and has to be out at 1PM, tomorrow's rehearsal begins at 9AM. Goddam!

Oh, yes, I am in a reallly lousy mood. Color me highly pissed.

Speaking of vibes... the former DP (well, soon to be DP again as we've reconciled but are still living apart) anyway.... the DP just got a job as head Pastry Chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto.  Today he goes in for the offer.  I wish him the best as he deserves this more than you know.  So, vibes for him would be awesome.  This is a great opportunity for him.

So, the now 3 schnauzers in our restarted family are spending the afternoon together.  Otto, who is 5 doesn't really care, Manny who is 2 and intact is keeping close eye on Ben who is 11 months and intact.  So far, all is well.  They are going to have to learn to live with each other eventually.  I'll try to snap a pic.

Have you reconsidered the "intact" part of this equation?

I wish you much happiness now that you are reconciled. :)

Good morning, all! This was my first mrning I could sleep late and so I did. I think I stumbled out of bed around 7:15. This morning, I guess we finish blocking the show and then deal with the music. The cast has a lot of memorization of text and notes. We've just got our first round of publicity:
http://www.islandpacket.com/2011/11/03/1851169/broadway-veterans-bring-the-sounds.html

So, today and tomorrow we finish up the show here. On Sunday our wonderful stage manager Meg runs the marathon, and on Monday morning I head south. I don't know what the computer situation will be in Hilton Head, so I may be E&T all week.

DR John G, a Betty Buckley album for anything more than a penny is a waste of  money in my book! She's too many of my more unpleasant memories of working with the NYC Gay Men's Chorus. On the other hand, if you like her arrangement of "C'est Magnifique," you probably would have loved the early 1980s disco revival of CAN-CAN, with Zizi Grandmere and choreography by her husband Roland Petit.

TOD: Sorry, no time, not even for the VCR!

Terrific article, elmore!  Even if you can't post from Hilton Head, I will wager that I will still be able to see the glow, even out here in Washington!

It was rainy here all day, so no jog.  Went to LACC, ate a sandwich and onion rings, picked up one package and no important envelope, went to the editing room where I saw the rough cut of the third and final episode of season one.  I made a few little changes to that - mostly swapping out a take here or there, or making a cut earlier or later, and then replacing a couple of voice-over takes with others.  It's very funny.  We also made a few more tiny fixes to the other two episodes.  We'll do whatever last-minute fine tuning next week and that will be that for season one.

Yes, it usually involves beans. Or tofu.

Thankfully, in Texas, beans are not allowed. And this isn't a vegetarian chili competition, so there won't be no tofu neither. Squirrel, maybe. Just for the Vixter.

Tasty looking cover, DR John G.!

Where was this BEFORE Craig's weekend in San Antonio? ;)

He said the food & service was excellent everywhere except for one very strange restaurant.  This restaurant takes pride on bad service, insults & being downright crude.  Craig said they need a disclaimer outside the restaurant for unsuspecting customers.  I think the biggest insult was that the food was mediocre. 

DR John G do you know where he ate?
That sounds like a place called Dick's Last Resort, where they make some people wear paper condoms on their head.

I always enjoy films about trains - especially runaway trains - so I started watching "Unstoppable" thinking I would enjoy it. What a load of rubbish. A total insult to the intelligence. What a contrast to the vastly superior "Runaway Train" with Jon Voight.

It's official, the DP the Pastry Chef for the Four Seasons Hotel of Silicon Valley.  We are SO happy as this is such a welcome change for him.  Finally, he'll get to do what he loves, to create.

Paid preview for Parade was great.  It's really coming together.  I hope it gets the audiences. It is a "cult" type show where there is a following and everyone loves the score but no one has seen a production of it.  It's worth seeing and I hope it gets seen.
