Speaking of memorabilia, BK, I just got my notice of the Ray Court show coming on January 17th & 18th.

Danise - yes, there is a downloadable version and it's quite cheap as I recall - go to www.1stbooks.com, enter either title or my name and you'll see how to get them. We've actually had quite a few people read them that way.

Jed: Which Quizno's sub did you have?

We are now officially on our way to 18,000 posts and yes, I'd say today already qualifies as a complete and utter frenzy.

Pogue, we must go together!

A couple of comments on above posts:

Annie Miller did the musical MAME and Connie Bennett did the non-musical AUNTIE MAME. I don't think either did the other version, so in all probability the Bennett Playbill® came first. I saw Celeste Holm in the musical version. She was okay although her late husband Wes Addy was his usual boring self as Beau. Gooch was played by a pre-M*A*S*H Loretta Swit.

NEW FACES OF 1952 will be out on DVD later this month. I hope it is Widescreen and not the poorly done Pan and Scan version that is on VHS. I wish that the version that was televised on Play-of-the-Week on 1961 would be released. It was called "Best of New Faces" but was almost all 52 with only a couple of people or numbers from 56.

I have never eaten at a Quizno's (they are just starting to open around NYC) but the photography (or printing) in their color newspaper ads is so awful that the food does not look very good. I hope it looks better in person.

And on a totally different note, a pic of me a couple of years ago.

I would've thought the picture was taken only yesterday...

Thank you, DR Jason, for the ASSASSINS pic. Since it's going into Studio 54, I'm assuming it's not for a limited run. God, how I hope it lasts until I get there in July.

Jason · « **Reply #277 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:27:43 PM »

Actually, MattH...PACIFIC OVERTURES is booked for that theatre, as well, though that doesn't happen until the fall. Still and all, I've been told that ASSASSINS is a limited run.

Matt H. · « **Reply #278 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:27:51 PM »

WEL, the videotape I have of NEW FACES is letterboxed, and it's a commercial release, not taped off TV.

Jed · « **Reply #279 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:28:29 PM »

It was the Classic Italian that I had, sans pickles.

Danise · « **Reply #280 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:30:09 PM »

I'm not offended, Ron. I do the same thing sometimes.

He lived for over 2 1/2 years so he did have a full life. I don't know exactly how old he was when I bought him. They only live about 3 years or so I read on the I-net.

Back when I first got him a bunch of people got one as well. They were doing that plant/fish in a jar thing. It's sick because they were told they didn't have to feed their fish--he would live off of the plant. What a big fat lie.

I read on the net that when you see a fish eating off of a plant, it's like you being locked in a room with a couch. If I looked in and saw you so hungry you were eating the stuffing out of the couch, I could tell people, "See you don't need to feed him/her" They live off the couch." They do it because they are starving to death. The whole process takes about 60 days.

I fed my fish 3 times a day, not counting treats. I bought a fish feeder for the weekends and holidays so he would never go without. The feeder cost about $35.00--the fish about $2.99 but I didn't care. He had to eat! I cleaned him once a week with fresh drinking water NOT tap water.

I would just like to add that my fish lived the longest of any of those poor babies. I wonder why.

I guess I need to read up on ASSASSINS and see what dates they're selling tickets through.

bk · « **Reply #282 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:33:48 PM »

Danise - I just went to the 1stbooks website - it's only 4.95 to download the book, pretty good. BUT THE BEST THING - everyone must go there immediately and type in Kritzer Time - you will see a free preview, about half of the prologue. Go now. Especially JANE.

Jason · « **Reply #283 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:34:03 PM »

One never knows, Matt...it might do well and extend!

Matt H. · « **Reply #284 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:40:00 PM »

Love the logo, too. Thanks again, Jason.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #285 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:48:28 PM »

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Thanks, DR Jason, for posting the pic of the Assassins logo... the one I was describing in my post...

Jrand74 · « **Reply #286 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:49:01 PM »

Thanks for the logo/Marquee DRJason! Whew I like it much better than the original one!

And yes....Bennett was in the play Auntie Mame and it was way back in 1957 when I saw it.....Miller was musical MAME in 1969!

WB DRDanise....sorry about the amphibian....

Wasn't Natasha Richardson's MOTHER Guenevere in the CAMELOT movie?

-You said I fought all of my life...well, you were wrong...I fought all of YOUR life! And what did I do it for?

-I thought'cha did it for me, Mama...

Love ya, Jose...

Did you people MISS MY POST? No one wants a free preview of the first half of the prologue to Kritzer Time? How RUDE! I am going off in a huff.

I guess this is my newest:

Jed: Thanks for sharing!

Jason · « **Reply #291 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:52:13 PM »

Just to clarify...the logo in my profile is the logo used for the Original London Production--NOT the new Broadway production. The marquee I posted earlier is the new B'way logo.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #292 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:52:29 PM »

Ah, no, BK.

Wait at least a minute and a huff!

If you went off ON a Huffy Bicycle, you'd get where you're going a lot faster.

Danise · « **Reply #294 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:53:17 PM »

I was going to d/l it but it's not available yet. I bookmarked the site and will keep an eye on it for when it is. I really enjoyed the sample. but I think I might want the hardback since I know the author.

Laura II · « **Reply #295 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:54:01 PM »

Aww I just found out one of my aunt and uncle's dogs, Sparky, passed away. Sparky was like their "firstborn son."

I hope they're doing all right.

Jed · « **Reply #296 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:55:20 PM »

We weren't commenting on the Kritzer Time preview because we had to go read it first, BK!

I have now done so, and it has whet my appetite for the third book, oh yes, my appetite has been whetted.

Danise · « **Reply #297 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:57:30 PM »

I'm very sorry to hear that Laura. I well understand the feeling of losing a "child". I tend to get to attached to animals but I never stop falling back in love with the next one.

I didn't answer because I was on the other site reading the preview.

Danise · « **Reply #298 on:** January 06, 2004, 04:59:27 PM »

Whetted or wetted? Is that like rabbit or wabbit?

bk · « **Reply #299 on:** January 06, 2004, 05:00:11 PM »

Well, what's wrong with the OTHER people here? I glad someone's appetite has been whetted. I was very excited to see it up, and I've started a new topic on our Kritzer discussion board.
