Well, you've read the notes, the notes were burnt and raw, and now it is time for you to post until the burnt and raw cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BLOVIATE!

Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good morning to all
-
Woke up early thanks to nightmares of exploding helicopters that I couldn't get on. I was in some kind of evacuation. Actress Wendy McKenna playing another character. I was aware it was Wendy McKenna playing someone else but I didn't question it. I missed the two helicopters because I went back to my house (a beach bungalow of some kind which in reality is not mine and is not anyone's I know) turn off the lights and get my laptop.
Other than I am flying to Montreal tomorrow (I don't mind flying) I don't know where this dream came out of.
-
Good morning, all! I slept very poorly last night. I got back from the rehearsal very unhappy with the schedule for the chorus rehearsals; I had lost one because of the dread BUDGET, and I believe I need it back. The chorus I heard last night was beautiful, limpid, and ready to sing something classical, but they sound nothing like a Broadway chorus, and because of THE BUDGET, I'm not sure I have enough time to get them where I feel they should be. I was told the rehearsal was to go until 10, and the chorus was dismissed at 9! Outside of telling them the basic plot, I got no time to work with them. I was not pleased.
So, at 2:30am, I sent an email to everyone over my unhappiness with the rehearsal last night.
So, I just had a long phone call with Jonathan about the situation and we will aim for an extra hour on Thursday.
I plan to spend a bit of time this morning on postcards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tuesday Vibes to one and all!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning all!
Not much to say. Maybe later this week. ;)
Vibes to all. Hoping everything goes well for DR Elmoore!
Have a wonder filled day!

Good morning, all.
Dead tired. Absolutely dead tired. Yesterday was stressful enough, thankyouverymuch. I finally relaxed over a too-late libation, snacked, stayed up to all hours -- and capped the night off by listening to the podcast, which is EXCELLENT. Boy, what a difference it makes when you have not one, not two, but three (3) interviewers who are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and great conversationalists to boot.
Of course I forgot you can download these things. Duh. Will do so now.
-
Had a doozey of a nightmare last night. I was in a house that I didn't recognize. I was in a long hallway leading to a partially closed door from which there were sounds of a violent struggle. As I approached the door, a long haired cat padded in front of me, blocking my way. It stared at the doorway, then at me. And it opened its mouth to hiss at me. And it had a mouthful of long needle-like teeth like the creature in ALIEN. And it began to get closer---and closer--and closer--and then I woke up...
-
I am having for lunch a sandwich of cheddar cheese, cucumber, and mayo; it's quite delicious.
For my exercise, I walked down Grafton Street to Spencer & Marks dept store and purchased a new pair of trousers. In about 30 minutes I will be off to rehearse with our leading lady Annalene Beechey.

Hmmm...I did try to resize that pic on Photobucket, but they changed their tools and I guess the saving function is buggy. But it doesn't seem too big. If folks complain of widescreen, I'll replace it.
-
I'll listen to the podcast now...
-
Okay, wait, so how do you simply download it? I'm clicking the "download" button which opens another tab and starts playing it. But I don't want to play it -- I want to download the mp3 file for later.
Call me: Podcast Ignoramus. :)

I use Firefox and when I clicked on Download I got a dialog box which asked if I wanted to open the file or save it. I clicked Save and OK and it saved the file as an mp3 and I'll listen to it later.
I don't know what browser you're using. It sounds like you don't get the open or save option.

TOD
Don't remember which colors were favorites, but I'm revisiting the old names on Wikipedia which has a chart you can sort. These are from 1903-1949:
Bittersweet. Brick Red. Carnation Pink. Cornflower. Magenta. Mahogany. Maroon. Midnight Blue. Periwinkle. Pine Green. Red Violet.
And of course the notorious "Flesh" and "Indian Red".
Oh, this is interesting: Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber are dated 1958. As familiar as those are, I would have thought they were from the earlier years.
Goldenrod, too. What else did I know Goldenrod from? Paper color?
-
I'm on Chrome, and just figured it out (and not for the first time -- I've had to ask this before!). I have to RIGHT-click on the button or link, and select "Save link as..." Bad terminology, methinks.
Anyhoo, got it! Thanks for helping to jog my memory, DR Ben.
-
Good morning, all.
Vibes that Elmore can get his chorus sounding like the vocal equivalent of jazz hands.
Vibes for all the rest of us.
-
TOD, Part the Second --
Toys I wish they would bring back? The Aurora Universal Monsters models!
-
TOD:
Pine green, magenta, black, midnight blue.
While I didn't like the color too much, I did love the word periwinkle.
-
hello, goodbye

It is my duty to report that Coke is It!

Listening to the podcast.

TOD:
You're asking such difficult questions these days.
I have no memory of what my favorite crayons were 60+ years ago.
:P
I do recall that, when I was about 10-11, I had a toy printing press and I published my own little newspaper.
Perhaps that's what started me on the road to ruin (i.e. to become a writer).
::)

Today, I'm going to see my Dad. I haven't seen him in 22 years. He's out visiting his sister until tomorrow. Because I was away and busy before that, I was unable to see him before today, and it was just that my brother, who'd been spending time with him, told me that he wanted to see me. He divorced my mom 33 years ago, or something like that. In 1978, I stopped contact with him, but that's another story, nevermind... anyway... Some time after that he moved to Tennessee. I saw him in 1990 briefly when his mother passed away and he came out for the funeral. In 1996, I called him when my great-uncle passed away (as he always loved my great-uncle) and I mentioned to him that I was gay, kinda off the cuff. (which was fine, whatever) I contacted him in 2004 or so, just to say hi and I'm alive. We emailed for a while, sent gifts, etc. Then I guess we both lost interest and I kept in touch with him through my younger brother who seemed more interested in a relationship with his father than I did.
All in all, I don't blame him for anything anymore. I mean, what's the point? What good/bad is it going to do? I really have no interest in a father/son relationship with him, but he is my father. Bottom line is he's my biological father, can't change that at all.
So, I'll make the trek to Sacramento ( 2 hour drive) say hello, catch up, etc, then I'll come home. I don't feel obligated, but I know it's the "right thing" to do. Can't really negate the fact that this man had a part in giving me life.
<and these are the days of our lives>

Discussion of phlegm on All That Chat reminds me -
Any reaction to the possibility of DO THE FLEHHH! as a follow-up to DO THE SKA! or DO THE TWIST!

Vibes that the visit goes well, Matthew.
Do you ever visit NY, Matthew? Hope you'll make time to see some DRs if you do!

TOD:
My favourite crayola colour was the one I needed at the particular moment to make what I was colouring interesting.
I used to love the Marx Sets: I had at various times, a farm set, a knight set, a Roy Rogers western set, a Captain Gallant foreign legion set, a Civil War set. They all came with many people, horses, pieces, usually some sort of structure...a ranch house, castle, barn, etc.
I also liked the Hartland Western characters...These were plastic figures five-six inches tall, on a horse, with removeable hats, saddles, guns, rifles, swords...I still have My Robert E. Lee figure and my George Custer figure and their horses, as well as a battered Roy Rogers and Trigger. Most of the accoutrements are lost or broken...broken stirrups, lost guns and swords, Custer's hat. There is an online resource that deals in selling these lost or broken items to reconstittute your figure. This Hartland line had a figure and horse for almost every TV cowboy at the time and several historical figures (my brother had George Washington).

DR FJL - last time I was in NYC was 2006. And most DR's were out of town the weekend I went!! I hope to be back soon, someday. I usually go back to see shows, etc. And frankly, I haven't felt the need to do so in a while :(

Page 2 dance.
I won't dance, don't ask me!
-
Lovely to see Pogue
Or have you been popping in and I've missed it because of my strange schedule?
-
I had many Marx sets, too. My favorites were the Civil War set and the Cape Canaveral Space Center.
-
I'm determined to make such a posting pest of myself while I'm here and available, that when I'm gone for a few days and really can't post for a while, BK will actually be relieved not to have posts from me rather than wonder why I'm not posting. :)

I hope I'm just joking, but you never know.

Hey, it's almost like an AN ANDY ROONEY MOMENT -
Ever notice that "Crayola" is just one letter away from "Crapola"

My brother had the Cape Canaveral space set.

It was much better in the television commercial....but it was fun!

DR DtM the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that you are hesitant about several choices that you will be facing in the next few months, and that you need additional information to make the right decision.
You are also hesitant to let yourself be angry at someone about a slight or insult because it could end a friendship.

Whatever happens, I think you will be glad you've made the trip.

Wow DR Matthew! I hope you have a very nice visit with your father.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm having coffee. And a bagel with cream cheese.
Of course, it's not a "real" bagel, but more like a piece of bread in the shape of a bagel. But it is tasty, and it's topped with some sort of cheese, asiago and/or parmesan, I believe. Oh, and I also put a few sheets of nori on top of the cream cheese. It's like extra-vegan lox. ::)
Anyhoo...
-
DR Matthew - I hope you have a good visit, and a safe drive.
-
My favourite crayola colour was the one I needed at the particular moment to make what I was colouring interesting.
I like your favorite color.

I didn't have a strange dream/nightmare last night, but the night before... UGH! I guess the fact that we're rehearsing in a high school... and with the recent shootings... They all sort of sunk into my noggin somehow. ???
-
Coping vibes to elmore!
DITTO!
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Not necessarily my favorites, but just the ones I always seemed to end up when all I really wanted, needed were the basics (Red, Navy Blue, etc.):
Periwinkle
Cornflower
Burnt Sienna

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO MY BROTHER, JAY, AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE, KRISTY!

And, once again, major Kudos and Thanks to the Fraud Department at Chase for taking care of my issue last night. I just checked my account information, and everything seems to be back to normal. Whew!
-
And now it's time to start Week Two (of two) at TheatreWorks.
Laters...
-
TOD:
Red
Just that simple. RED. It was my favorite Crayola color.
Toys: I once had a Roy Rogers ranch set...with a ranch house and fences and horses and cattle. It would probably look silly now. But I'd dearly love to have one again.
And...plastic bricks...I had a huge set of plastic bricks and I built houses and apartment buildings....and later did "sets" for plays. Would love those brick sets (or an improvement on same) again.
-
I have become such a coffee wuss. I used to drink it black (many, many years ago), but in recent years I have discovered French Vanilla Coffee Creamer. Today is grocery delivery day, but I am currently out of creamer, so I made a cup with just milk in it. Yuck! :P
-
I'm up. I got nine hours of sleep so that's good.
-
TOD:
I have thought all morning on the TOD and I guess I never had a favorite crayola crayon, at least not that I can recollect.
As for toys, I am so envious of all you who had those Marx sets! I wanted them all! I did end up with the Prehistoric set...caves, dinosaurs, cavemen, trees, etc.
Got a lot of playtime out of that set and in my Jr High School years I used the caves and trees for some of my 8mm home made sci fi films such as DAY OF THE DINOSAURS and VOGORAN, MONSTER FROM BELOW as well as the popular comedy THE GOTTALOP.

I almost sang the tunes that I remember from Streets of NY all these years later - it's amazing what the brain retains for close to fifty years - "New York's a perfect city to visit, but I wouldn't wan to live there, that's no insult, is it?" "He'll come to me crawling."

I had a toy typewriter like this in the second grade. You dialed the letter you wanted and pressed the large key to print to the paper. The small round key was the shift so that you could get capital letters. It was painfully slow..........

Wow. If you do the second edition, you'll have to use quotes from all of these people in the booklet.

We emailed for a while, sent gifts, etc. Then I guess we both lost interest and I kept in touch with him through my younger brother who seemed more interested in a relationship with his father than I did.
All in all, I don't blame him for anything anymore. I mean, what's the point? What good/bad is it going to do? I really have no interest in a father/son relationship with him, but he is my father. Bottom line is he's my biological father, can't change that at all.
So, I'll make the trek to Sacramento ( 2 hour drive) say hello, catch up, etc, then I'll come home. I don't feel obligated, but I know it's the "right thing" to do. Can't really negate the fact that this man had a part in giving me life.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Right before I left for water aerobics Rob called to ask for a ride up to Middletown to pick up Mary Linda's old car. As soon as I was finished at the Y, I drove to Cincinnati and back and have just now finished lunch and seen Rob off.

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY TO MY BROTHER, JAY, AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE, KRISTY!

Happy Anniversary to Jay and Kristy!! ;D

Had a nice e-mail from Hal Prince - what a gentleman he is, kind of the opposite of other people on that creative team. He just wrote to say he'd heard it arrived but is out of town and that he can't wait to hear it and thanked me for doing it. Class.
Very nice.

Ron Palillo has died of a heart attack.
I just read about that (http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2012/08/14/welcome-back-kotter-star-ron-palillo-dies-from-heart-attack-at-63/). :( I didn't know that he had been with his partner for 41 years! And Ron was 63, so they were together since Ron was 22. Amazing.

I had a toy typewriter like this in the second grade. You dialed the letter you wanted and pressed the large key to print to the paper. The small round key was the shift so that you could get capital letters. It was painfully slow..........
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/PutnamPlayhouse/toytypewrter_640x480.jpg)
It was indeed slow. Had one like it...different color...but OMG. And the ribbon never wanted to advance.

BK, I know Streets of New York also. I did the show in 1976 on the Minnesota Centennial Showboat! I have the CD.
Is that the Miles Krueger show? I have that CD, too.
This is the show
Streets of New York (http://www.amazon.com/Streets-York-1964-Original-Cast/dp/B000000N5U)
That's the one I have based on the cover. For some reason I thought he was involved with the show.

Don't remember which colors were favorites, but I'm revisiting the old names on Wikipedia which has a chart you can sort. .....

Wow DR Matthew! I hope you have a very nice visit with your father.
Me too!

Oh I forgot about copper....that was a pretty color.

Today's rehearsal went stunningly! We had Rachel, annalene, Hal, Philip, Joe, and John, and we got through the secondary coiuple's (Hal and Rachel) three numbers, Annalene's reprise of "Bye and Bye" and her dialogue scene with General Putnam, and the Generals' "Cheerio" and "Full Blown Roses." After my concerns about the chorus, I know that I've got a fantastic cast.
Tomorrow Jim, our romantic lead, and Kim Criswell arrive and the party begins.
After rehearsal, David the conductor and I went out to dinner and then we hit a pub for a couple of glasses of Guinness.

Mine was labeled the same way, DR George. I suspect that it was a case of two departments getting different memos from the toy designer.

Ron Palillo has died of a heart attack.
I didn't know the he lived only 20 minutes or so from where I live.

I knew Ron Palillo slightly through a mutual friend. I remember a delightful evening of cut-throat charades at this friend's house where Ron and I were on opposite teams. I gave their team the play, Bussy D'Ambois, to act out and guess. Ron responded by giving us a equally obscure title the next round. My kind of play-for-blood player. Years later, when he moved to New York, we went to his "garage" sale and bought a beautiful deco lamp from him and a terrific 1920's Victrola for my 78's. Both items still adorn our home. He seemed like a very nice man and I certainly enjoyed the brief amount of time I spent with him.
-
Today, I'm going to see my Dad. I haven't seen him in 22 years. He's out visiting his sister until tomorrow. Because I was away and busy before that, I was unable to see him before today, and it was just that my brother, who'd been spending time with him, told me that he wanted to see me. He divorced my mom 33 years ago, or something like that. In 1978, I stopped contact with him, but that's another story, nevermind... anyway... Some time after that he moved to Tennessee. I saw him in 1990 briefly when his mother passed away and he came out for the funeral. In 1996, I called him when my great-uncle passed away (as he always loved my great-uncle) and I mentioned to him that I was gay, kinda off the cuff. (which was fine, whatever) I contacted him in 2004 or so, just to say hi and I'm alive. We emailed for a while, sent gifts, etc. Then I guess we both lost interest and I kept in touch with him through my younger brother who seemed more interested in a relationship with his father than I did.
All in all, I don't blame him for anything anymore. I mean, what's the point? What good/bad is it going to do? I really have no interest in a father/son relationship with him, but he is my father. Bottom line is he's my biological father, can't change that at all.

I have become such a coffee wuss. I used to drink it black (many, many years ago), but in recent years I have discovered French Vanilla Coffee Creamer. Today is grocery delivery day, but I am currently out of creamer, so I made a cup with just milk in it. Yuck! :P
I like a cup of coffee every great once in awhile (I'm a tea drinker for the most part). But I like it with half and half. Most of those creamers are too sweet for my taste.

Thank you, DR TCB. My AC/central heat seems to be fine now. Haven't really heard a word about the house so I don't know what to think.
I guess I could go ahead and tell you that I have a phone job interview tomorrow. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I haven't had an interview in over ten years so this could go either way. I can't ask for vibes because I'm not sure about this myself. Will let you know tomorrow how it goes.

Thanks, DR Jane, for answering DR FJL's question.

Don't remember which colors were favorites, but I'm revisiting the old names on Wikipedia which has a chart you can sort. .....
What a fun list! I really liked the "precious metals" - copper, gold, and silver.
I loved to color and still do, but now I'm learning to use Copic Markers.
Those colors were never in the boxes I got. You got the BIG box of Crayola Crayons, didn't you!!??

I always wanted the big box but my mom got me the 48 crayon boxes instead

Danise, vibes that it all turns out for the best - whatever the best may be

I admit I had to think about it for a second.

You had lots of siblings. I'm surprised you didn't have multiple boxes around the house. I can't say if I had it or not. I know I didn't wish I had it. Between school & home there seemed to be plenty of crayons. I remember sometimes more "flesh" colored ones were needed if there were several of us coloring in people.

Thanks, DRs JRand and Jane!
What did I miss, Ginny? I'm trying to page back, but feeling a bit scattered somehow.
"Yesterday afternoon I received a call from the executive director of Middfest International with a plea for some emergency editing of a document that needs to go to press by the end of the week. I brought home a print copy, which Richard helped me scan and open in word processing. I worked on it last evening and this afternoon and sent my revision, via email, just before dinner. During dinner, I received a call telling me that it's "Perfect" - whew!"
That is terrific, Ginny!!
Thanks so much for re-copying it, Jane! Something's been messed up with the thing that gets me back to where I was when I post while reading otehr posts and I wonder if I do miss a post or two when i go back. i think I'll make notes and not post until after i catch up form now on. i seem to missing posts by trying to reply-post as i go along
-
DR Danise what time is the interview? Do you have to miss any work for this?
-
That last post of mine had typing syntax in vixmom style since she's gone for a while, LOL.

Try opening a second HHW link to post your comments as you go along. I do this when I'm reading the posts from the previous night.

Morning all!
Not much to say. Maybe later this week. ;)
Vibes to all. Hoping everything goes well for DR Elmoore!

DR Danise what time is the interview? Do you have to miss any work for this?
10:30. I'll just take a break and go into the small room we have with my cell phone.
-
Thank you all for the good wishes. This job would be in Ybor city so I would not be able to ride the bus any more and would have to drive every day. And it would be a lateral move for me so no more money. That's why I'm not sure at this point. If it costs more to work there, I want to make sure I will be happy with it.
-
I'll try that, Jane. Can you actually quote from one window to another?
-
'Night all!
-
Good evening.
-
DR elmore mentioned Annalene Beechey (sp?). It was just a little over a year that I saw her and Kim Criswell at the Lerner and Loewe concert. They were both great!

Good. I gather the small room is private.
-

No. I type "from DR....", copy & pate & quote. Or I simply comment.
-
It never fails, as soon as I purchase eBooks the ones I have on hold at the library become available & I have too many to read.
-
Tired tonight. May turn in early. But I probably won't.

Yes, I hope so, Danise. Unless they're Ok with your making the call.

Got it. Beats the heck out of trying to remember where I was.. there was a previous edition of HHW where i don;t recall having this issue, or maybe I'm just mis-remembering.

So I now once again can play CDs in my car. The first one up: "No Way to Treat a Lady." Produced by Bruce Kimmel.

Now I don't have to listen to stupid campaign commercials for the next several months.

Maybe you accidentally (somehow) unchecked the "Return to this topic" box under Additional Options... when you posted your message. That's the only thing that I can think of.

I'll be thinking about DR Danise at 10:30 tomorrow morning.

It has happened to me a few times, sometimes due to the glitch in the site, others because I didn't check if anyone had posted above me after I returned to the original, quoted, message.

And on that note (F#), I'm off to our monthly TAO (http://www.olytheater.com/) board meeting.
Be back later.

I only had one brother who was 4 years older and one sister who is 7 years older. I got the 48s, but I got a new one every year
-
Yes, I did get the big box of Crayons! Still have one, but I think it's the one we bought for Rob.
-
Well, I have a couple of busy days ahead. Tomorrow is a meeting of the volunteer administrators at a nonprofit I've been wanting to visit. On the way home, I'll pick up a ham and a turkey roast at Honey Baked to serve as the main course at a potluck dinner here on Thursday. My book group friends are coming to celebrate our group's 21st anniversary and watch the movie version of the book we read this month, Sarah's Key.

'night!

Now I don't have to listen to stupid campaign commercials for the next several months.
That's why I gave up radio ages ago. Enjoy the music.
-

Sounds silly. I made a note that she'll be having her phone call at 10:30. i know sending mental vibes for an interview don;t REALLY help during the interview, but what the heck, LOL, it'll make me feel better to believe I'm doing something to try.

All the pop music is on YouTube very quickly anyway these days, and then I can just download almost anything for 99 cents, then the occasional album, and some even have sales for a few bucks for a whole album more often than you'd think. but so much is on YouTube sooner than you'd think.
-
Watched the final episode of THE CLOSER...wow! It was great!
And, I watched MAJOR CRIMES....and I think I will stick with it since it managed to suck me into what appears will be an ongoing plot-line, even though I know exactly how it is going to go.
-
Yes, I did get the big box of Crayons! Still have one, but I think it's the one we bought for Rob.
I actually bought one a few years ago, lol. I still have it somewhere
-
I'm watching Major Crimes for now. but we'll have to see if I stick with it
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Visit with Dad and Aunt and Uncle went well. Very glad it happened.
bk - LOVED the podcast. I really need to listen to both CD's back to back with headphones.
-
Good Evening!
Today was a day. A good day in many respects. And a strange/bad one too.
The good: Rehearsal. My follow-up with Chase Bank. Dinner at an Indian jernt near our rehearsal hall.
The bad: Finding out that one my roommates from the Anything Goes tour I was on passed away. Sadly, his death was attributed to some drug abuse. He was only 37. Rest In Peace, Jimmy.
-
DR Matthew - Glad to read that you had a good visit.
-
Oh...
With four boys in my family, we usually had the boxes of 64 and 72 Crayolas.
*Wikipedia has a nice listing of the Crayola Colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors).

Most of the pop music I "listen" to is usually part of a TV show - like "Grey's Anatomy", "Private Practice", etc.
I'm sort of amazed at my friends and colleagues who do seem to listen to pop music on a regular basis - and have the time to watch the videos and memorize the lyrics to a certain degree. I do try to "check in" every now and then with the current hits, but that's mainly so I don't get stumped when I have to play auditions for a show where "Sing a pop song" is a requirement.
-
DR elmore - I hope the rest of your sessions go as well as today's did.

~~~~~RIGHT JOB, RIGHT DECISION VIBES FOR DR DANISE~~~~~

Yesterday afternoon I received a call from the executive director of Middfest International with a plea for some emergency editing of a document that needs to go to press by the end of the week. I brought home a print copy, which Richard helped me scan and open in word processing. I worked on it last evening and this afternoon and sent my revision, via email, just before dinner.

Whew! ;)
And Congrats!

I had some snacks from Gelson's - two chicken tenders (small), a little chicken pasta salad, and some shrimp sushi. Not too bad. Oh, and I've been hooked on these little cranberry almond nougat bars - I but twenty at a time and eat them all up over a week's time. They're only 130 calories each, but bet you can't eat just one.
-
A week ago, I bought a couple of bottles of Dr. Brown's Diet Cream Soda - I think it's time to open one of those puppies right now.
-
Had a nice e-mail from Hal Prince - what a gentleman he is, kind of the opposite of other people on that creative team. He just wrote to say he'd heard it arrived but is out of town and that he can't wait to hear it and thanked me for doing it. Class.
I still remember playing the auditions for the last major (Equity) tour of Evita a couple of years ago. During the series of callbacks, I kept hearing that "Hal will be coming in," but it wasn't until the day before "Hal" was supposed to come in, that I realized it was "Harold Prince" they were all talking about. Well... He was, as bk stated, a true gentleman. Yes, he had an aura that commanded respect, but he was also very approachable and quite talkative. It was fascinating observing him coach the Eva and Che "finalists". He not only gave each person some constructive criticism and adjustments, but also complimented each of them.

Oh, is that GOOD. I haven't had a diet Dr. Brown's Cream Soda in a 'coon's age. And I forget how great soda pop tastes from bottles. I'm buying a bunch of these tomorrow. I booked my transportation to the airport for Sunday and my return on Wednesday.

bk - Will you most likely be at Joe Allen and/or Angus McIndoe's and/or Brooklyn Diner on Monday or Tuesday night? If so, I can catch up with you then. -If I'm not too tuckered out from My Fair Lady auditions.
-
And now I'm craving a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray.
-
And...
Tomorrow is our "long day" of rehearsal. We're starting at 10:00am, and ending at 9:00pm - with a nice break for lunch in the middle. However, we don't start rehearsal on Thursday until 1:00pm, so... Yeah, I can sleep in!
-
And...
Now to sleep.
Goodnight.

Will definitely be at Joe Allen on Monday night at some point. Tuesday night is up in the air right now - I may go to see Jason Graae and Faith Prince do their show, although I saw it recently, so if there's something better to do I may do it.

Tack.

Bra.

Puss puss.

Someone can translate for Jose.
