This Jeepers Creepers business is really bothering me. I went ahead and wrote about it, figured out where it would go, and adjusted the stuff around it. My only real problem with including it (it's a little over a page of additional material) is that it comes at a point in the book where I made all those cuts because I wanted to really move along to the end. However, having it solves a couple of problems and it's a record producing story so it's certainly germane to the story - I'll read it to Margaret and tell her how it fits in and if she likes it then I'll probably insert it. I really liked the way it felt without it, but the story has one important piece of information - you get that information about ten pages later, but including it in this story makes it more touching.

If I keep it the way it is, then the information on how Kritzerland came to be isn't quite accurate, although dramatically I really like the way that's written. But this is a true story so to suddenly have something that's just not accurate is probably problematic, especially since even people here know that the Kritzerland logo appeared on a CD two years before we actually started the label.

Whether you include the Jeepers stuff or not I think it is important to be accurate. If you decide not to include it is there still a way that you can be accurate?

Jeepers Creepers was my very first BK cd - it was a gift from former DR WFO

I received some extremely strange swag today from anime label Funimation: a Princess Jellyfish tote bag and a Princess Jellyfish keyring.

Some people will be very jealous

The Washington Post says an "illegal immigrant from Northern Virginia" has been arrested because he wanted to attack the capital. I didn't know northern Virginia was another country.

Obviously a typo--they meant West Virginia.

OMG, Keith Olbermann is just reporting about an incredible new proposed Tennessee law that makes it illegal to say the word "gay" to anyone younger than in the 9th grade.
It ought to be illegal to expose anyone younger than the ninth grade to Tennessee.

The Vicar of Dibley is also one of the favorite shows of the minister at the church where I work. He just got his doctorate from Oxford and he claims the show is more realistic than might be imagined.

I've never seen it.

My mother wrote a Coles Notes
Interesting! Do you know for which book?

I revised my original posting that mentioned it. But you probably missed it.

It was MOONFLEET

BK

I posted earlier that I have photos from the Jeepers Creepers recording sessions including one with Susan Gordon. If you are interested I can send them to you.

Speaking of Weird Swag Department: We have a new stockbroker, who seems to be extremely knowledgeable and may in fact get us to the point where we only have to work until we're 125, not 150

, but he has sent us two extremely odd mailings. The first was a lithograph of the Brooklyn Bridge, with a little commentary about building secure foundations, and then today he sent a totally bizarre parchment lithograph of (are you ready?) William S. McKinley, inscribed with all sorts of McKinley quotes.

I think we have enough photos now. If you have a nice one of Susan and I or me with anyone where I actually look good, you can use You Send It to send a hi-rez version (over 300dpi).

Finished with my viewing. I think I'll put the motor car away, take a shower, and then relax - maybe post the notes a bit early and get to bed early.

I saw the rough sketch of the book cover tonight - viewing roughs is rough for me - I have no imagination whatsoever, but I think when this is polished and final it will look really fun. He's captured a BK look and it's fun - Grant thinks so, too. He's going to play with the image tomorrow just to make sure we have enough room for the text - if not, we'll either have him shrink the art or we'll put a box around it - I leave that all to Grant, who has great design sense. The artist wants to add color, but both Grant and I feel we should stay true to the Hirschfeld black-and-white look.

Well, on that note (F#), I'm off to the theater for our very first official performance of "A Bucket of Blood," presented by Theater Artists Olympia!

Be back later!
Break a leg, George.

Thanks, John! Our first performance is over and we had a great audience! Probably close to 30 people! The show ran just under two hours...applause and two songs added to the length. I don't think that there were any mistakes or problems at all.

I'm watching Tuesday's episode of "Body of Proof" and Donna Pescow was a guest. So far, she's only been in one scene, a dramatic scene, but she was very good.

George · « **Reply #143 on:** February 17, 2012, 11:41:47 PM »

Just had to share.

George · « **Reply #144 on:** February 17, 2012, 11:55:22 PM »

Donna was just in another little scene.
