And our library is proud to have KING KONG ESCAPES and ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE available for rent. Now, how many other libraries can say that?
"proud" might not be the right world.

Maybe "honored?"

maybe "reluctantly admits to"

Back from another long day - had a great lunch with David Wechter, then went directly to another day and evening of mixing and hiding problems.  And I have to say we have done so - right now, there are two tracks where I might want to replace just about eight bars in each track, although I can live with them the way they are.  Other than that, depending on whether I actually want to use play outs (we recorded all of them) - if I don't, then so far we only have one short horn redo - if I do, then we've got three short horn redos.  But it's day two's stuff that will tell the tale, but whatever it is we will have MUCH less to do than I thought and most likely with great players, we'll be able to do it in one three hour session or less.

DR Ryacko -  I am so sorry for your loss - it sounds as if your Mom was a remarkable woman.  May the celebration of her life and reveling in those memories bring you some peace and comfort

My condolences to DR Ryacko.  Your mother's letter is something to cherish always.  You and your family are in my thoughts and my prayers.

They've started buying Blu and Rays at the library here. A few of the more select titles, like Frances Ha, were only on Blu-Ray. Now it seems to be a mix of the two and the question is, which one is going to come in faster. I've been waiting forever it seems for The Long Ranger Blu-Ray -- and I want to see it only because the star, Armie Hammer, lives here in town and is fairly nice guy.


Armie Hammer is also a hottie!

There was indeed a problem with the eBook of Red Gold - it will get fixed next week - for now, they've discontinued it.

Or, I should say, the Kindle APP.

Congratulations to TCB on your milestone!
You have one coming up shortly.







Well, it's a very modest milestone, but thanks for noticing, DR JohnG!


Now, now, Kevin; size doesn't matter.

The thing about the Kindle version they did - it's absolutely right - and that's a first - it's literally the book in Kindle form, with all of its correct fonts - that part is great but because of their very weird specs in turning in the pdf - Grant has to position the 6x9 book in the middle of an 8 1/2 x 11 page, and that's why the eBook has so much white space around the text.  So, what Grant feels may work perfectly is for him to send them a pdf of the actual 6x9 size - then that should translate to full pages on the Kindle.

That's great, BK!  And I think you should use the play outs.  It should be a truly "complete" recording. :)

I had ordered it, but was able to return it for a full refund.  I'll reorder it when it's fixed.  It is, however, still listed on Amazon.com.

This evening after I left work and fed my friend's cats, I went to Fred Meyer and bought a couple of sheets.  Tomorrow night, Theater Artists Olympia (TAO), the theater group whose board I'm on, is having a toga party fund raiser and I'm going to use the sheets to make a toga for the toga party!  I bought two in case I'll need to sew them together to make it long enough to wrap all the way around myself thoroughly.  I will also wear a t-shirt and jeans shorts under it.  I don't show skin.
