I am really nauseous and hope it doesn't take a turn for the worse. I've had a couple of Pepcids but I'm not sure they're helping much at the moment.

Judy came to this same venue several years ago in a solo show and was wonderful. I got to usher for that show.

Post by: ChasSmith on September 28, 2018, 04:44:21 AM: Tonight I shall be attending the first night of the official opening weekend of the Bedford Playhouse.

https://bedfordplayhouse.org

Along with a li’l party or whatever, the film tonight is Dirty Dancing. I’m hoping Mr. Robert Harris is planning on being there, as it’s always wonderful to see him. If not, then some other time. Tomorrow night is the big gala occasion for those who can drop a couple of grand each to attend, and on Sunday they’re presenting family fare which I’d probably pass on even if I didn’t have other plans.

I might go next week to see the newly reconstructed/completed Orson Welles film.

AND THANKS TO ALL HERE AT HHW for the patented HHW vibes. The show could NOT have gone better. Everyone was on top of everything....the orchestra with the new trumpet player was wonderful....I remember all my lines and got onstage and offstage at the right times....

Of course when I ran back for my first quick change, The Girl was not there....and my costume was still on the rack on the hanger.....she was there when I got backstage for the second change.....never said sorry or anything.....hopefully she will remember tonight that she has a job to do.

Then we wait 18 days for the carpet to be installed.

We are not happy about the long wait, especially since the delay was due to the insurance company taking so long to approve the new carpet.

On the way home we drove past the building where Richard, DR Elmore, and Richard’s parents attended high school and Rob attended middle school. It’s being torn down...

As always with these things released on CD over two decades ago, no attempt to make this sound good was even attempted. That make me tempted to send it off to Chris Malone to see what he could do to it.

This afternoon our furniture will be moved back into the guestroom. The paper protecting the hallway floors can be picked up. I expect tomorrow Keith will be able to put the artwork back up on the walls.
Then we wait 18 days for the carpet to be installed.

We are not happy about the long wait, especially since the delay was due to the insurance company taking so long to approve the new carpet.

None of this happened as they did not return and will not until Monday morning.

I couldn't believe it. I woke up about three times hearing loud noises, would watch five seconds and bam, fast asleep. Thirty minutes later there was a loud noise from the movie, I woke up, and the scene that was playing was interesting so I began watching but had no clew what anyone was actually doing, so I just went back to the top and started over.

He really seems mean to Jill Haworth. Did he think she cast herself in the show?

Post by: bk on September 28, 2018, 09:30:10 PM: Finished with my viewing - the first Department Q movie - I didn't watch them in order because some total idiot critic said the first one wasn't any good because it was all backstory and didn't focus enough on the actual crime and villain - well, wrong. Best of the three. And yes it would have helped to watch it first.
