Post by: elmore3003 on December 15, 2005, 04:59:21 AM: Good morning, all! I had a wonderful time at the Chorus concert. Carnegie Hall looked beautiful, the concert was quite nostalgic and wonderful, with lots of good soloists, the audience was having a great time, and the party after was a lot of fun. I got to bed around 1:15 and I'm dragging a very tired butt around this morning think I may need No-Doz as well as several cups of coffee.

Elaine Stritch was absolutely amazing, and she sang the hell out of "I'm Still Here." The audience adored her. She sang the Adler-Ross "Heart" with the Chous, standing in the middle of the 203 members, and then she finished her set with the Chorus doing "We Need a Little Christmas," which brought down the house when she sang "I've grown a little leaner" and the Chorus sang back to her "Got a little older." She's a handful, but a great sport. And I think she had a good time playing with the group and the audience.

Then the Chorus did my arrangement of "I Wanna Be a Rockette," and 20 former Rockettes danced out. The number was staged by Ann Cooley, a lovely choreographer who's currently a Rockette in the Christmas Spectacular, and the house went crazy,

The party afterwards was too crowded, but I saw lots of friends, a few former Chorus members including a friend of mine and td, John de Palma, and I got to meet a few of the new Chorus members, most of whom are young enough to be grandchildren.

DRBen, safe travel over the holidays.

Post by: Ginny on December 15, 2005, 06:11:26 AM: Snowy Thursday greetings! I got 1 mile into my 25-mile commute and, approaching a major hill, saw cars and pick-up trucks crossways in the road. Turned around, barely made it back up our driveway, and called work to say I would not be in today. So, here I am with a pre-Christmas putzing day, which I really need.

TOD - The last day of our honeymoon, I ate sausage gravy for breakfast and came home via the Middletown Hospital emergency room. Haven't eaten sausage gravy since.

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: vixmom on December 15, 2005, 07:07:46 AM: PELICAN
(Lyrics: Marty Garner)

I matched the jackpot 6, and gave every dime away.
All I need is my aquarium.
I'd really like to live in there.
If they'd let me color outside the lines,
I think I could do it.
All it takes is some concentration.

The fish are bored so I go outdoors.
Thumb tacks lie in the grass.
So my thumbs attack all that is left
Of this mess.
Jesus the cat is chasing butterflies.
I look inside.

Now I'm flying on a pelican.
Am I him, or is he me?
This pelican, over the sea.
The waves move by in the breeze
And I'm flying on a pelican.

"Garlic toast or dinner roll?"
The words she said have never left my head.
Some say she's just a waitress.
But I could see the look in her eye.
I'll need a few more minutes, please.
I must cherish this time.

I'll fold up this paper coaster,
And take it home, where I'll sit alone.
I'll place it by my tank.
She touched it, you know.
Now all of the colors begin to swim.
The fish are happy again.

Now I'm flying on a pelican.
Am I him, or is he me?
This pelican, over the sea.
Diving for fish. I got my wish.
With a pelican.

Solo.

Every day is much the same.
Now that the waitress moved away, who's to say
If my fish will swim this way.
They just don't seem the same.
And I haven't seen Jesus around.
I thought he was my friend.

I need the pelican.

Garlic toast or dinner roll?

Post by: Matt H. on December 15, 2005, 07:48:17 AM: Good morning!

We had sleet and freezing rain this morning which coated the trees and has been making the lights flicker all morning.

It's now turned to rain which has been pretty non-stop since I got up a little before 8 this morning. It is VERY cold outside and a very raw day overall.

Usually My friend John and I have lunch together on Thursday, but I'm not sure what the plans are now. Time will tell.

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: Matt H. on December 15, 2005, 07:51:29 AM: I had food poisoning once. I put some tainted mushrooms in my spaghetti sauce and got violently ill. I basically threw up all night and then was so weak for the next two days that I couldn't eat anything and felt queasy for a couple more days after that. It REALLY is something you don't want to have happen to you.

Post by: Matt H. on December 15, 2005, 07:53:59 AM: I feel sure Universal (don't they own Paramount's films from this period?) will eventually get around to Marlene Dietrich's films. Of course, they've farmed out THE SCARLET EMPRESS to Criterion, but I can't believe they won't eventually release MOROCCO, SHANGHAI EXPRESS, and BLONDE VENUS. I have the latter two on laserdisc in a combination package and enjoy watching them, especially BLONDE VENUS.

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: Matt H. on December 15, 2005, 07:56:47 AM: Back to Dietrich for a minute. Didn't someone release THE BLUE ANGEL in both German and English a few years ago. I don't have it, but I thought I read something about it.

DR Vixmom,

The e-mail you sent me yesterday JUST arrived! It's going to take 10 minutes to download with my slow dial-up connection, but thanks.

I just caught up on yesterdays' posts and saw your post saying you hadn't gotten it, so I checked my "sent" files and saw that I had put in too many "t"s in your address!

So I resent it. Maybe it will make you feel better about your ice storm!

If youcan figure pout how topost the pictures here please do, it's a hoot!

I just can't figure out how to do it.

If any one wants to see a slide show of a ice storm in Wisconsin send your email address to dmann@cblawyers.net and I'll forward it to you as well.
Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: Jason on December 15, 2005, 08:15:48 AM: Picture it: I was home from college for Thanksgiving/Fall break. We had been to my Grandmother's house for dinner on Thanksgiving proper, but the next night we had a big dinner at our house with various and sundried aunts & uncles. Part of that dinner included fried pork tenderloin, which was a little chewy but tasted just fine.

Cut to four hours later. I'm putting up the Christmas tree in the living after everyone has gone to bed - I wanted to surprise them with it when they woke up. The tree was finished and I was about to lay down on the sofa to go to sleep (my aunt & uncle were in my room), when I started feeling a little dizzy and nauseated. Before I knew it, I was in the bathroom in the downstairs hallway puking my guts out. My dad heard me and came in to hand me a warm, wet washcloth. I told him I was fine and he went back to bed.

I wasn't fine. I puked all night long. Before I knew it, I could hear my dad in the master bathroom - he was puking, too. Then I heard my brother get up and go to the upstairs bathroom. Again, puking. It started to look and sound like a British farce - doors opening and closing in succession, people running around in a vomitous haze. The only one of us who didn't eat the pork was my mom and she was fine. Everyone else seemed to get better in a day or two, but I was sick the rest of the weekend. I couldn't keep anything down - not even water - so I spent the rest of my Fall Break in bed. Or in the bathtub. Quite a miserable experience - I thought I was going to die - and at the time, I wished that I would!
Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: Matt H. on December 15, 2005, 08:25:58 AM: DR Jason, your experience sounds exactly like what happened to me. Yep, even water made me nauseous. I think I sipped some Coke during those two days to try to settle my stomach, but I have never, ever felt so weak and at death's door.
Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: JMK on December 15, 2005, 08:35:55 AM: Well it may be food poisoning at BK's, but here it is the TB ward, with two kids sounding like chorus members in that well-known musical version of Camille, Hack! 8)

This is their second day home from school and it is beginning to show (at least as much on Betsy and me as on them, LOL).

I believe BK claimed to have gotten food poisoning from the Boca Burgers he was served here in Portland a while back. That'll teach him. ;)

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: JoseSPiano on December 15, 2005, 08:39:11 AM: Good Morning!

Tonight is Opening Night of Damn Yankees...

The snow started about an hour ago...

Schools are closing early - at least the ones that actually decided to open this morning...

Metro will be starting their "rush hour" at 1:00pm today instead of 3:00pm...

The snow is supposed to turn to sleet and freezing rain later this afternoon, and eventually all to rain...

The temps tonight are supposed to be in the upper 20s and lower 30s, so the roads are most likely going to get icy...

-Did I mention that it's Opening Night of Damn Yankees?

We shall see...

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: JoseSPiano on December 15, 2005, 08:54:25 AM: As for the Topic of the Day...

The only time I remember getting sick-sick from food poisoning was New Year's Eve/Day four years ago. It was during the run of South Pacific at Arena Stage. I headed home after the show to spend New Year's Eve at home by myself - much similar to the way BK spends his NYEs. Well, I decided to order some Domino's - a small pizza and some chicken wings. Well...

Around 4:00 in the morning, my stomach just started not feeling well. I didn't feel like throwing up initially, so I just thought it was a very upset stomach (from the combo of pizza and chicken wings at midnight). I even went to the bathroom a few times to "try" to throw up since the pain just felt so bad. Well, eventually around 5:30 that morning, I had no choice in the matter.

Thankfully, we only had an evening show that New Year's day - usually we have a matinee too. I was able to catch up on sleep during the day. I also called my stage manager, and she walked me through my diet for the day - Gatorade. I needed liquid to keep me hydrated and to replenish some of my electrolytes and things like that.

I made it into the show that night, and I even remember taking a nap during intermission underneath the keyboard. ...And by the next morning, I was feeling almost back to normal. Whew!

Happy New Year To Me!

:P

Break legs tonight, Jose - just not on any ice!!

DR Jason - Thanks.

I have a feeling our Opening will go on as scheduled tonight, but since Metro will actually be running on a special schedule as of this afternoon, things could change. Arena usually bases their cancellations on what the Metro system does. With the pending freezing temps, Metro may close early due to icing on the tracks, and if that happens, well... Again, we'll see...

I am looking forward to tonight. The previews have been going very well. -And I also spent a good chunk of time last night once I got home from our final Preview getting my Opening Night "party favors" prepped and wrapped. - Which is why I was E&T last night. However, what I'm most looking forward to is NOT having a 12-14 hour work day. ;)

DR Jennifer - Are you having upset stomach problems too? If so, your sort throat may also be the result of some acid reflux- due to the antibiotics. -That's what happened to me last Spring - YUCK! See if you can buy something OTC or get a sample of Prevacid or similar medication from your doc. I noticed a marked improvement once I started taking it.

-Of course, check with your doctor first.

Post by: bk on December 15, 2005, 10:33:09 AM: I'm up, I'm up. Whatever vibes and xylophones you all sent really helped - right after my last post last night, I went to bed - I didn't think I'd last lying down for two minutes, but it seemed to calm my stomach and I was asleep in three minutes and, besides one normal bathroom visit, I was asleep for over nine hours. I feel somewhat okay now, not that I'll feel like eating anything all day, and hopefully it will get better from here. I surely thought this was going to be a corker - I NEVER throw up - HATE it. But, around eleven-thirty, when I was writing the notes, I had to bolt for the bathroom, where I dry heaved for about fifteen minutes. But, that was it - that was as bad as it got, so thank goodness for that, and hopefully it won't recur today.

Post by: vixmom on December 15, 2005, 10:46:15 AM: James Dean Museum to Close in December
Dec 13, 11:36 AM EST

The Associated Press

GAS CITY, Ind. -- A museum chronicling the short life of "Rebel Without a Cause" star James Dean will close Dec. 31.

Owner David Loehr moved the James Dean Gallery to Gas City from Fairmount, where Dean attended high school, less than two years ago.

Although attendance had increased, it wasn't enough to match the cost of maintaining the temperature-controlled building, Loehr said Monday.

"The operating expenses and upkeep and payments are just more than we can handle," he said. "I'm just getting further into debt and I just can't do it anymore."

Dean, who was born in Marion in 1931, was killed in a car crash in Cholame, Calif., in 1955 at age 24. His movies also included "East of Eden" and "Giant."

Loehr opened the museum and gift shop in 1988 in a house near downtown Fairmount. After an electrical fire in early 2004, Loehr moved the gallery to the new 7,200-square-foot building near Interstate 69.

The James Dean Gallery contains a dozen pieces of wardrobe worn by Dean in his three major films, school papers, paintings by Dean, and original movie posters, books and magazines.

In a message posted on the gallery's Web site, Loehr said: "James Dean has influenced so many actors, directors and musicians, we were hoping that someone would step forward with the necessary financial assistance to remain in operation."

Loehr said he will put his collection into storage and continue to operate a separate gift shop in Fairmount.

A June festival in Marion marking the 50th anniversary of Dean's death drew about 6,000 people instead of the 100,000 organizers had expected. The annual James Dean Fest in September went on as scheduled.

"The loss of any locally owned business is quite a hit for a community," said Karen Niverson, director of the Marion-Grant County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "But I think the loss of the James Dean Gallery as a locally owned business is a harder hit, because it's so integral to the very identity of our area."

http://www.jamesdeangallery.com/about.html (http://www.jamesdeangallery.com/about.html)

David Loehr the guy who runs it, is a strange guy - and it is a FOR PROFIT enterprise. He doesn't have the blessing or support of Jimmy's family who still live in Fairmount. The Town Museum that they support and give donations to isn't much of an attraction.

In fact last June the family and the town decided to have a 50th Anniversary Observance of Jimmy's passing in JUNE!!! Then they observed the actual anniversary in September with their regular James Dean Days....and it was a bust....I think something like 6,000 people and they had expected 50,000.

Maybe Jimmy's time has passed. But the Gallery was a great place. Go the website and take the virtual tour while you still can. :-\

If you only read the headlines and not the story which begins:

"WASHINGTON - After months of resistance, the White House has agreed to accept Sen. John McCain’s call for a law banning cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of foreign suspects in the war on terror, several congressional officials said Thursday."

I had food poisoning once when I was home for a Christmas visit. I lived in Phoenix then and had to fly back that day. My dad drove me to the airport in Minneapolis and we had to keep stopping the car so I could lean out the door and throw up. Not pleasant. Luckily by the time they put me on the plane I was feeling a little better. But it was something I never want to do again.

Post by: Ben on December 15, 2005, 01:01:48 PM: Hi, gang. I'm at the office awaiting our holiday party which begins at 4:30pm. I'm clearing out my office mail box so when I return on January 3rd I'll only have a few hundred messages, not a few hundred hundred.

We are all ready to leave. The only fly in the ointment is this transit strike mess. Car services which are not in Manhattan are not taking reservations because they will have trouble getting into Manhattan. Those in Manhattan are fully booked as I found out over the past few days. Oh, well. If we have to we will walk to Penn Station and take the Long Island Railroad to Jamaica and take the Air Train to JFK from there although there are rumors that some of the LIRR and Metro North employees will honor the transit strike. Oy and Vey. Our flight takes off at 8:45 pm but we are planning (if there is a strike) to leave the house at 11:30 to get to Penn Station for the train. It is expected that there will be large crowds and LIRR has said they will enforce crowd control on the trains. Since we have a large suitcase (we're leaving for two weeks) it may be more difficult to get on a train. Otherwise things are fine. I will probably post another time or two before tomorrow afternoon.

Bye for now.

I spent 3 hour-long performances of "Seussisal" in agony. I never tossed anything, but I remember hanging onto the keyboard with one hand and playing with the other in order not to fall over in pain. I did miss the evening tech, though as I went home to try and recover. It's not pleasent, and recently I likened having food poisening to having lower back pain. I think the food poisening is worse.

Post by: TPunk on December 15, 2005, 05:03:07 PM: Ben, your contingency plan for getting to the airport sounds horrible. I hope there isn't a strike so you can just hop into a car and go.

What do other new yorkers think about this 4 people to a car to get into the city rule? Are they trying to make things worse under the guise of trying to encourage people to carpool? At my internship, we were trying to come up with carpooling plans to get up to the Bronx, some of us are in Manhattan and some are in Brooklyn, but those in Brooklyn with cars don't have the requisite number of people to get into Manhattan to pick the rest of us up to get into the Bronx. So potentially none of us will get to work when the means to get all of us there do exist.

Thankfully it won't be an issue for me until Monday, tomorrow I'm only scheduled to work at GMHC and they already have coverage in case of a strike. Sorry if this has already been discussed to death on the board. I have been e&t the last few days...

I put him in the garage while I was at work. Mark and James brought his kennel/cage but I couldn't put him in that thing all day, which is what they do...well, I will have to next time as Digger lived up to his name and kindly dug the dirt out of every planter that I had put in the garage for the winter! OH, my but it is a mess in there! Dirt, mud, and ceramic planters flung ALL over the place. LOL!

My father always had me wait 10 to 15 minutes between sips on my 7-Up, too soon and it would make me worse, not better. When I can eat I begin with plain white or egg bread toasted, and if I think I can handle more food I include scrambled eggs. I cook the eggs plain, without any butter or oil.

Doggie Day Care programs are becoming popular. Maybe Mark and James can find one of those, or someone to let Digger out during the day.

She does that too. She takes care of your pets in your homes. She has a number of clients who live and work here and she goes to their homes every day and lets the dogs out. I'm just saying there are probably services like that in other places too

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: Dan (the Man) on December 15, 2005, 08:39:31 PM: Oy! I just read today's notes (though I have yet to catch up with today's posts) about BK's bout with food poisoning. Something similar hit me last night. I attended an office Christmas party and though I didn't eat or imbibe overly much, I began to feel queasy as I was driving home. And then I felt worse and worse. Vomiting and vomiting and vomiting--ugh! Eventually it stopped and I was able to get a decent night's sleep, but I still felt nauseous enough this morning to not go into the office and work at home. I've been eating light all day and drinking Gatorade and I felt better this evening. I doubt if it was food poisoning--probably a stomach virus though there was no diarrhea involved.

But as bad as I felt last night, it was no where near as bad as what I believe was a true case of food poisoning this past spring. I began to feel sick in my stomach in work and I began to worry if it was a kidney stone attack coming on. I left the office early and took a cab home instead of walking. I began having the absolutely worst stomach cramps I ever experienced, along with bouts of violent vomiting. This went on for about three excruciating hours. Finally, after a particularly intense episode of puking, the stomach cramps subsided and I felt somewhat better though it left me feeling incredibly weak for a day or two afterwards.

I'm pretty sure that that was food poisoning. The previous night, I had gulped down over half a can of salted peanuts, which had been sitting in my pantry for close to a year. I don't normally eat that many peanuts at a sitting, let alone year old peanuts. It's now only occurring to me how closely that event paralleled that old classic song, "Found A Peanut". Life imitates art.

I still haven't eaten anything since one in the afternoon yesterday, and frankly I'm afraid to have anything. Maybe I'll go out later and buy some broth of some sort, but even that sounds yuckilicious. I might try a Saltine or two.

Since I was a very little boy, I've had Coke to settle my stomach. 7-Up didn't do it for me; Coke did.

I can remember as a youngen that for years we had the same prescription medicine bottle in our medicine chest that was cola syrup. My mom told me that it was for upset stomachs, but she never gave any to me when I had a tummy ache.

Knowing my mom and her inability to ever throw out any unused medicine, it was probably some kind of cocaine derivative that was prescribed a doctor in the early 50s when that stuff was still legal.

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: JoseSPiano on December 15, 2005, 09:40:46 PM: Good Evening!

What A Wonderful Opening Night!

-It just seemed that everything was in place, and everything went right. Heck, I was even a little verklempt when the lights went down after the Act II Finale - and I will freely admit to being a bit "jaded" when it comes to "special evenings in the theatre". But tonight was really special. And fun.

When I walked into the pit tonight, my keyboard was covered with cards, chocolates, candies and various gifts from the cast, crew, etc. My conductor gave me a great 1950's style cake pedestal. Perfect gift! And one of the men in the ensemble managed to track down a bunch of original Washington Senators' Baseball Cards, and gave one to each person in the company - I got Andre Marrerro.

But beyond the gifts, it was a great evening to be with friends, and to share with friends. My friend, Justin - with whom I just recently reconnected - came in for the show tonight with his partner, Kevin. -And it turned out that Justin knew a few people in the cast from his Florida State days. There were also lots of other friends in the audience - lots of hugs at the post-show reception, lots of mini-reunions. And, of course, the whole cast and crew of this show are also friends - well, more like family now.

Tomorrow, we're having "Gay Day". ;) A bunch of the cast and crew is getting together to catch the 3:00 showing of "~~Bareback~~ Brokeback Mountain". ;D Hopefully, we'll all have enough time after the movie to recover emotionally before the evening show.

Thanks again for all the Vibes and Well Wishes. It was nice knowing that the HHW Family was there in spirit tonight too.

Post by: JoseSPiano on December 15, 2005, 09:42:27 PM: BK - Yes, as others have stated, have some sort of Sports drink - Gatorade, Propel, even something like Vitamin Water. You need hydration and a bit of energy (sugar) and electrolytes. And, yes, bland food is the best course to follow right now.

Title: Re:LONG NIGHT'S JOURNEY INTO DAY
Post by: JoseSPiano on December 15, 2005, 09:53:05 PM: And since it was Opening Night, I took a little "break" from my diet. I have to say there are some incredible bakers in this company. One of the assistant stage managers made the most amazing lemon cake - I had a few small slices throughout the evening. And the male swing made a couple of trays of Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Brownies. Truly decadent. I had at least two. -And I wrapped up a few for Justin and Kevin to take home too.

The reception food was sort of bust. Well, at least not the usual chicken satays, beef tenderloin, roasted vegetables, etc... Since we're doing Damn Yankee, we had hot dogs, nachos, Cracker Jacks, popcorn, etc. Fun food, but a bunch of were looking forward to the usual chicken skewers with spicy peanut sauce. ;)

...And I guess I'll work out a little harder tomorrow during my workout. However, I'm also toying with going for a run since it's supposed to be dry - it's still raining right now - and the temps will be in the upper 40s. I have a great set of thermal running clothes I haven't used in a while. We shall see.
