DR Singdaw, So you're not really too far from Manhattan then, huh? DR Jose, do you any how safe it is to be in the Harlem area in the evening...ya know, 2 ladies trying to running around town and such?

Hmm... "Safety" is sort of relative. At least to me. There have been a couple of times where if I'm coming back late from a gig or a night out, and the trains seem to be running on a skip-stop schedule, I'll just go ahead and keep walking up Broadway from 116th to 145th.

Just be sensible. I will say that West Harlem seems to be a bit safer than East Harlem, and since 125th Street is the main crosstown drag, it's always busy. If you do start to feel a bit uneasy, then just hail a cab - or one of the numerous gypsy cabs - and head back to midtown.

And speaking of midtown... Midtown also has it's share of safety issues - mainly pickpockets - so, again, just be be aware and sensible.

We have a picture near the phone of the queen of England with a corgi.

A young lady visiting one day went up to Skip and asked "Is that Fred's mom?"

Would it help if we held a lineup at the Reservoir?

I think that would only confuse matters. At the very least, make them more complicated.

DR Jose, Thanks for the info. I will definitely keep that in mind.

Someone posted a rather negative post about a certain CD, and guess who was right there, all defensive, saying the recording had a 60 piece band (!) and telling this person he was on crack and that his remarks were slanderous and that you never know who's reading the board. I replied "Oh, yes we do." And I asked the simple question as to why you'd have a 60 piece band for a show that originally had less than twenty in its pit and is orchestrated specifically for one violin. I then said that the real "slander" would now start and be hurled in my direction, just as it was on the other board until I had it removed. We'll see if he dares do it, because if he does I'm afraid I shall have to be a very bad boy.

Hmm... Well, according to the liner notes, it was not a "60 piece band". It was a 60 piece orchestra... In Bratislava, Slovakia... The Istropolis Philharmonic Orchestra, in fact.

Well, actually, I do.

However, that whole stage door scene at the St. James is a bit crazy, and with the way the backstage of the St. James is set up, it's not always the most convenient or exciting place to hang out after the show.

JulieC40 · « **Reply #128 on:** June 04, 2008, 09:54:50 AM »

DR Jose, You really do know someone? Mmm...we don't care if its boring. It would be a thrill for my sister! She has done so much theater in the Portland area and being around backstage she would think she died and went to heaven even if we didn't meet anyone.

JulieC40 · « **Reply #129 on:** June 04, 2008, 09:57:56 AM »

Dr JOSE, We are going on Wed, July 23rd to the 2:00 p.m. showing, about 4 rows from the front in the center. Are those good seats? I hope so. Am I being too abnoxious? If I am, just tell me to be a good girl and I will then sit & heel and try to be good. (no promises, though).

Trust me, you'd be better off stage-dooring at the St. James. With the way the stage is set up for Gypsy, you really don't see much of anything or anyone while you're in the public areas backstage. Basically, all you'd see is one long hallway, one stairwell, and another hallway. I always have a better time waiting at the stage door for friends, rather than going inside.

Those are good seats. Almost great seats in fact. -And since the orchestra is on stage, you'll be within spitting distance of the actors.

DR Jose, Okay, I'll take your word for it. So the Stage Door is the way to go then, huh? That's perfectly fine. I have found out in life, if you don't ask for things (or hint at them), they won't come to you on your own, ya know? Life is too short! You are such a doll!

Whilst browing in the local "special foods" emporium, I came upon a travelling ~~anvil~~ candy saleman; he was touting product from Oregon:

MOONSTRUCK CHOCOLATE

Best damn truffle I ever ate.

Do you Pac NW folks know much about them?

DERBrucer, Only that they are THE Best Chocolate Truffles EVER made! They are awesome and one is not to far from where I live. They are a bit expensive though. I think one truffle can be like $2.50 to $3.00 per piece. Can't afford those all the time! They ARE wonderful though!

DR MBARNUM is on his way to the center of celebrity - Memphis Tennessee, is he not?

DR JENNIFER - MAD MEN is about the men who work in a New York/Madison Avenue advertising agency in 1960 - although the new season starting this year jumps ahead a couple of years. It concentrates on one man and his family and a younger newly married man - but all of the stars get a chance to shine a bit.

DERBRUCER · « **Reply #146 on:** June 04, 2008, 10:58:38 AM »

I never thought I'd see the day:

I not only watched a TV trailer, I rewound the DVR twice to see it over again:

THE CLOSER (shot in NYC I presume) - "Everybody has something to confess"!

Really fun.

Must be Amy.

I did watch the preview of In Plain Sight - the new USA showl

Actually enjoyed it quite a lot; it's Saving Grace without the sleeze and a "Burn Notice" wit.

More importantly, they'll be within spitting distance of YOU!

I sat not more than four feet away from both Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel the first time I saw "Wicked" at San Francisco's Curran Theater. While I was seated to the right of the stage, both actresses had many "moments" right in front of me.

And I do believe I got spritzed a couple of times.
