From last night:
I brought home the MP3 of one of the sound effects to try and make it louder.  I did, but I couldn't make it as loud as I think it needs to be because it would get distorted.  So, it'll have to do.

Can you recreate it, and replace the one you have now?

I was able to raise the volume a bit, so even though it won't be as loud as I think it needs to be, it'll be better than the original volume.  What happens is that right after this noise starts, music plays over it (and this happens quite a bit throughout the show), and the noise continues at the same time, but it's drowned out by the music.  Kate said that from the audience, she could somewhat hear the noise when the music plays over it, but this will just make it a little easier to still hear it.

We found mugs with lids worked best.  The lids to keep the cats from drinking our water.  Still, they are occasionally knocked over even by us ;D

LOL, vixmom!  Just saw this post by you from the other day while ketching up:

"have no trouble with sitting upstairs but I insist on being carried up the stairs....
On a litter...
Preferably hoisted by 4 buff, shirtless, young men"


Sorry, vixmom!  we asked for the shirtless young men but the absence of shirts didn't fit the strict costume budget!

During Dress Rehearsal, some of us first discovered by watching from there (what I tried to call the Mezzanine rather than the Balcony but it didn't catch on!), that the acoustics and raked sightlines are great upstairs (to our delight, and as we'd indeed been promised!)   

Title: Re: THE WRITING CONTINUES
Post by: FJL on January 16, 2018, 07:48:40 AM
While the downstairs is not raked at all.

At my advanced age, I don't enjoy the staircase going up (and also going down) there and found the seats as small as 2010's Broadway seats. And of course downstairs seats have "prestige" while upstairs does not, as our agent reminds us -

That once you're upstairs and settled into the seat, it felt better than mid to rear orchestra, to me anyway.

And if we ever get done in Washington State and have some casting pull, there's a choice of choice stuff for TCB,

and former (?) DR PennyO in the part brilliantly essayed last night by BK's one-time co-star Maureen Silliman assuming no budget to fly Maureen out?

I'd really love to see BK one day do the (surprisingly out-of-nowhere show-stopping, how did that happen?) Neal Mayer track that includes playing Jim Lehrer, if we ever did L.A. and had any casting control. 

Title: Re: THE WRITING CONTINUES
Post by: FJL on January 16, 2018, 08:08:01 AM
Which "casting control" Skip just told me we will never have unless we're financing the event - which sadly we now can't.
Title: Re: THE WRITING CONTINUES
Post by: FJL on January 16, 2018, 08:16:24 AM
We had real direct say over the 2006 Last Starfighter reading casting; the director had chosen the couple 'Alex" and "Maggie" by way of Seattle, and the director approved BK for "Otis on Earth/Grig in space" - but back then, life was different and three people had actual "out-of-town travel costs" budgeted for - which IIRC was paid for by using our very own apartment for several rehearsals to pay for it, rather than paid-for rehearsal space.

Futzed and finessed, went and had a chili, cheese, and onion hog dog and a side Caesar salad, picked up one package that had five Netflix screeners that I have no interest in, came back, and have written about eight or nine pages so far.  I was barreling along, but after changing my mind about a setting, halfway through I went back to my first idea, which was much better - so I had to revise two pages completely, but it just works better the way my first instinct was.  Now I'll take a break, then I'll do another seven pages if I can.

I had an appointment today for an eye exam with someone who's been in the area a long time and has a good reputation. I have wonky eyes and need an optometrist who understands that. But when it came time to see the doctor I learned that they'd booked me with an associate. As it happened, I liked the associate and the exam went fine. But I do find it off-putting. I feel they should at least tell you they're booking you with someone else. Sigh. Sloppy business, IMO, and disrespectful to the patient.

DR VIXMOM and DR KEVINH at DR FJL's happening last night!  And some lady behind them who is thrilled to be there as well.   :D


The thrilled woman is funny :)

Thanks for the great photo.

I had an appointment today for an eye exam with someone who's been in the area a long time and has a good reputation. I have wonky eyes and need an optometrist who understands that. But when it came time to see the doctor I learned that they'd booked me with an associate. As it happened, I liked the associate and the exam went fine. But I do find it off-putting. I feel they should at least tell you they're booking you with someone else. Sigh. Sloppy business, IMO, and disrespectful to the patient.

Did you mention that?  In my experience they usually say something if it will be an associate.   I am glad you were pleased.

Hi, John G. How are you progressing?
Getting a little better every day. I think I'm going to get the bird tomorrow.

Very good.  I hope you don't have to drive to far or will he be driven to you?

Do y'all want to know what I had for lunch? Veggie burger and sweet potato fries. No photo.

That sounds good to me.

Alert former DR Ben, I've been having oatmeal for the past two days.

I have had it every morning since I went off the malaria pills.  I was eating yogurt with those as it is recommended to reduce the side effects.  I think I feel better with oatmeal in the morning.

I am very bad about eating breakfast and am doing my best to continue the routine of eating it when we travel.

My first outing. It's about five miles away or so. A friend is going to take me. I still have to be careful because the air is toxic with mold and cedar pollen. Sneezing would not help my sutures any.

For all you cold people, just be glad you do not live in these areas in Russia.

Temperatures in the remote, diamond-rich Russian region of Yakutia on Tuesday plunged to minus 67 degrees Celsius (minus 88.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas.

In Yakutia — about 3,300 miles east of Moscow — where students routinely go to school in minus 40 degrees, school was canceled throughout the region. Local police also ordered parents to keep their children at home.

Over the weekend, two men froze to death when they tried to walk to a nearby farm after their car broke down. Three other men who were with them survived because they were wearing warmer clothes, local investigators reported on Monday.

Actually, her birthday is actually December 27, but when you have been alive as many centuries as she has, you stretch the party out as long as you can.

Anyway, I gave her a coffee table book on murders in Beverly Hills, and for my Christmas present, she gave me a book on celebrity autopsies.

Well, we had a good run tonight, even though one of the actresses was really not feeling well, at all.  I don't know what was going on, but she left as soon as we were done with the run.  Hopefully, she'll feel better quickly!
