The news stories about the California fires are truly frightening.

I agree.  I just sent Rodney Gilfry an email to check on him.

It was a very long day at Encores! I got through the Overture and three numbers.  I have no idea if the orchestra reading on Saturday will occur or be postponed given the state of things.  The lady behind this project was paid a lot of money through a grant to restore this show, she's worked on it four years, and it's rife with entry errors and wrong notes.  Since she's incapable of seeing a wrong from a right note, I have no idea what her edition will be like: she clearly shows no understanding of an Errata List, touring band parts vs Broadway pit parts, or the curiosity of one number having parts for two horns, which are not part of the the orchestration for the other 20 numbers!  On top of that, she's defensive and, like the Fat conductor of Limited Talent and Limitless Ego, she holds all her work and research close to her so no one can see what the realities may be or threaten her feelng of superiority.

On the plus side, any excuse to visit with my friend talented and funny Josh for a day is a reaon to party.

Threaten her "feelings" my ass, your professionalism is a direct attack on her competence and, ultimately, her livelihood. Is here no chance that the grantors will not get wind of how their funds were wasted?

Aw, shucks! I feel I can't let down my friend who's conducting this readthrough on Saturday and I know how that wonderful band is going to gripe about the huge number of errors in their parts if they're not adjusted before the session.

Good Evening!

Well, I just ended up taking the A Train down to 14th Street, and then walking East until I got to Union Square, and then walking back West to grab the A Train back uptown.  In the meanwhile, I stopped into The Virgin Megastore - surprise, surprise - and picked some classical and jazz discs I've been reading about.  Then it was over to New York Costume to visit a friend of mine who's working their "Holiday Shift" for a while.

New York Costume is HUGE!!!  The store spans the whole block, and the clerks(!) even give out maps to the store.  And, yes, it was a virtual madhouse.  However, my friend told me that on weekends, the line to get in starts forming about an hour before they open.  Now that's busy!  Of course, with Halloween coming up they're pretty swamped right now, but they also do a big Santa Suit business as well as rent costumes to many of the TV shows that film in NYC (SNL, various soap operas, etc.).  In any case...

I had a good visit with my friend, Geff, between his "bouts" of customer service.  And, boy, did he have some characters/customers.  I happened to meet one of his regulars who apparently has been buying at least one little costume accessory each day for the past couple of years.  Today he was checking out the the stuff in the "Pirate's Cove".  The mind boggles at just how "stuff" this gentleman has in his apartment.

Oh... Since I know you're all dying to know, here's today's food report:

Late lunch/early dinner: Stand - I had their Chopped Salad (frisee, romaine, green beans, hard-boiled egg, grape tomatoes, carrots radishes, etc.) topped with one of their Beef Burgers - actually it was three of their mini-burgers on a skewer - cute presentation, with their house vinaigrette.  Plus, a glass of their homemade Rosemaryade.  Very refreshing.

Snack: Le Pain Quotidien - Mini Green Tea Ginger Cake with Mung Beans.  It looked interesting, so I gave it a try.  It tasted interesting too, although, I think the mung beans were/are a questionable addition, but at least they add texture and some fiber.

Refreshment: Tavalon - A Taro Tornado Tea Smoothie with "Bubbles".  Yum!

...And I just had another call from my brother, Jay.  The evacuation order has been lifted for his workplace, so he'll be back at work first thing tomorrow morning.  And his house is still in a "safe" zone, although, he did say he had watched about 100 homes get swallowed up by the flames.  :(

Now let's just hope that the next batch of Santa Ana Winds are kinder to the area.

OOH!  OHH!  My turn!  My turn!!

I saw almost every episode of "Seinfeld".
I saw maybe three or four episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond".
I think I've seen every episode of "Friends".

I saw every episode of "Six Feet Under".
I watched the first three seasons of "Queer As Folk", but then just lost track of it.

I only saw/heard "The Addams Family" after I had seen almost every episode of "The Munsters".  -It seemed that "The Munsters" had a better syndication deal.  ???

I never saw an episode of "Dark Shadows" either.

And I saw every episode of "Caroline in the City" too.  *I always thought Andy Lauer was cute, cute, cute!

My latest "sweet drink" is half a glass of pomegranate-blueberry juice topped off with tap water.  I just started doing it for no particular reason, but I still like it.

I found Seinfeld to be a waste of time (but then I didn't bother with Ugly Betty after its first hour and Monk was just so not anything).

Horses for courses.

Addams Family was way superior to The Munsters IMHO

"Six Foot Under" - truly worthy viewing.

I enjoyed the first few seasons of "Friends" and then they "dumbed" it down so much.

QasF - a poor and eventually stupid version of the UK show.
