Can't find the name of that Chicken chain, but I did just find out that Elmer Dills has died.

Dills was a very good, and very fair, restaurant critic in the Los Angeles area, not one for simply dishing the places he was reviewing.

A quick Google shows that there are currently seven Hamburger Hamlet restaurants, although they are now known as Hamlet, Hamburger having been dropped (and the five second rule applies).

In SoCal, they are the Hamlet Pasadena (on Lake - been there, done that), Hamlet Sherman Oaks, Hamlet West L.A., and Hamlet on Sunset


I forgot they dropped the Hamburger portion of their name.  Thanks for the link.

One more item, before I cut this off to watch EUReKA -

[size=20]HEY, GEORGE!!![/size]

The second volume of Murray Gold's Doctor Who soundtrack, covering Series Three (and a bit more) is out, and it is great!

How many other series have had a full orchestra to play the music, huh?  Wow!  And, to quote the Doctor himself, "Fantastic!"

Good Evening!

Today was a good day of auditions.  The call was primarily for "Actors Who Sing", but we ended up having a couple of "Actors Who Sing Really Well" come in today.  -And some of the "Actors Who Can Carry A Tune Well" were quite wonderful too.  I'm looking forward to the rest of this week, the rest of the "process".

I was truly awed by some of the Talent who came in.  There were times I found myself having an honest to goodness laugh, and there were other times when I was moved to tears.  -Along with the rest of us "behind the table". Good material and Good actors. Inspiring!

After my auditions were done, I met up with Jason for dinner at East of Eighth. I had signed up for the mailing list, and they sent me a "Free Dinner" coupon, so... :)

We had a great time catching up, and the food was dee-lish too.

A question because frankly I've felt this about auditions - When one is surprised by the level of talent that comes in to audition for a particular job, is that a sign that times are hard for actors and they're auditioning for something they might not otherwise audition for?

Hmm... Good question... However...

The people who came in today were either submitted by their agents or were asked to come in, so...  But what made today sort of "extraordinary' for me was that out of all the people we saw today, there were really only two or three people who did not "fit".  Each time someone would leave the room, and they would say, "That's the one!", another person would come in who could also be "the one!".

Otherwise, I think the "surprise" element goes in cycles, and it really depends who and what you've seen before and after the "surprise".  I also believe Good Actors just always want to Act, and want to be a part of good shows.  If you cast it, they will come. ;)

I really love when you tell these stories Jose.  You have such intersting days, while I go and sit in the same chair doing the same thing day and day out.  

In my next life I demand to be born with talent!!!

Ironically, several of my bad service horror tales happened in one restaurant - the now-closed Hamburger Hamlet on Hollywood Blvd.
And you kept going back for more?? ;)

Tomorrow night I'm going to see Chicago.  I have never seen the musical. I've seen the movie and have known all the music, but this will be the first time I've seen it on stage. I'm looking forward to it.

*Maybe DR MBarnum could fly out to one of the cities and arrange an interview with Mr. Wopat.

Hmm, if the tour doesn't kick off until November, then I wonder what cast we're going to see tomorrow.

This Fred thinks the Fed should allow AIG to stew in its own allegedly fraudulently-behaved (towards me, anyway) juices.

DR Jennifer, the muffins & cupcakes sound yummy.
Yes, Mark Valley is from BOSTON LEGAL.

But he is REALLY at his greatest in KEEN EDDIE, a show with only lasted half a season but which shows him in both a comedic and action oriented role. (It is available on DVD.)

Get this man another show of his own QUICKLY!

Well, I did get the rest of the CRIMINAL MINDS episodes finished including the silly cliffhanging season finale. My, how I am tired of those!

Season 3 really was a good year for CRIMINAL MINDS. No real duds and some interesting guest stars, sometimes playing the bad guys and sometimes not. Interesting to say the least how they switch those out.

There's a non-Equity tour out right now - that went out as soon as the previous Equity tour shut down a couple of months ago.  -Then the Weisslers decided to mount another full-scale Equity tour, so...
