Happy anniversary, Ben and Ant.

Aww, thanks, folks for the good wishes. Anthony thanks you also, even though he's not here (he's here in spirit).

Speaking of bargins, I finally got a copy of Dessa Rose. It was on sale through Broadway Cares ($20 including shipping and it usually sells for anywhere from $35 to $40), but apparently I got there too late. I had placed an order on Wednesday last week and was told I would get a confirmation e-mail. I waited and waited and today I got an e-mail but it was not the one I wanted. They had sold out of DR but the Web site had not yet been updated. Oh, well. I ended up going to my favorite store, Academy, and what was there but an unopened copy of Dessa Rose for $26. I picked it up and will listen over the week. It's the entire piece and it's beautifully packaged by John Yap of TER/JAY Records. Like FJL, I'm a fan of the show even though it got pretty well trashed in the reviews.

I never really adjusted to Seattle/Issaquah time, so I haven't had to make any real time adjustment back. Or at least so it seems, so far.

And a very happy haineshisway.com anniversary wish to Ben and Ant. If we combine the names and add an "i" we have Benanti. I wonder if that's how Laura's last name came to be, since her daddy-o is Martin Vidnovic.

DR Penny, it was right across the street from Bellevue Square that my eldest sister bought the aforementioned LP of The Collage, after having seen said group on the Mike Douglas Show. There was a little drug store called "Marvel Morgan's" on the corner there. Now this was in the day when Bellevue Square consisted of maybe 4 stores, no joke. One Christmas my other sister came to visit and she and my "Collage" sister erupted into hysterical laughter one night when my visiting sister said she wanted to go to "Happy Flanagan's" the next day--that's what she remembered Marvel Morgan's being called. Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind.

If I look unhappy in the photos George posted on Saturday, it has nothing to do with the Village Theatre festival, which was lots of fun. I just don't have the ability to smile on cue. Plus I clearly forgot the clench-your chins rule which I learned here on HHW.

I believe I got She Loves Me on LP at my local market - sealed, in stereo.

I guess I shall attempt to jog now.

FJL · « **Reply #73 on:** August 07, 2006, 10:52:54 AM »

I've got to find time to catch up on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday posts in general. Sounds from the notes like there was some degree of excitement.

I was surprised that the library near where we were staying enforces the half-hour rule of usage for the internet for out-of-towners, even when there are available computers. But I guess there's an administrability issue, and it's easier to enforce a rule all the time rather than have people say they didn't know about the rule when the joint is busy

It's a gray, semi-humid-yet-coolish day here in Oakland CA.

her daddy-o is Martin Vidnovic.

Speaking of Mr. Vidnovic, I saw him last night in the new production of The Fantasticks. I was not expecting good things but it's a very nice production. I saw it with a friend who had done the show at Sullivan Street in 1983. He said it's an almost exact replication of the old show. There are minor changes but, to me and my friend, nothing stuck out as inappropriate. Mr. Vidnoic, as I was about to say before I went off on a tanget, is quite good as Bellomy. Tom Jones is excellent as Henry, the Old Actor. He also directed the show. Henry is listed as being played by Thomas Bruce, Mr Jones' acting name when he was performing.

I sometimes wore my hair combed all to one side, over like Annette’s or tied into one pig-tail. It never reached her level of poofiness (spelling?

).

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** August 07, 2006, 11:31:52 AM »

Elmore, I agree with Penny it was okay to take your dad to the cemetery, going there was important to him.

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** August 07, 2006, 11:33:53 AM »

Jane never had poofy hair. Nor did I.

Back from a jog - I'll say one thing - it's easier for me to jog when it's warm. Today is gray and chilly. I'm happy for the respite from the heat, but it just makes jogging a bit harder.

Jane · « **Reply #80 on:** August 07, 2006, 11:34:59 AM »

But I did wear it to one side occasionally.

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** August 07, 2006, 11:45:35 AM »

FL- I thought you looked just fine in the photo, your lack of a grin never entered my mind.

Ben & Ant-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY & CONGRATULATIONS ON 11 YEARS!

td, Kerry & Music Man-SO NICE TO SEE YOU!

Jane · « **Reply #82 on:** August 07, 2006, 11:48:25 AM »

DRLaura-I hope they find your Baseline Killer soon.

MBarnum · « **Reply #83 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:34:54 PM »

Happy, happy anniversary to Ben and Ant!

I myself have never had anyone around long enough to celebrate an anniversary...the parole officers always seemed to catch up with them, somehow. Ah, well.

So congrats to the both of you!!

Sorry, that is the best I could do, card wise!

MBarnum · « **Reply #84 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:35:36 PM »

Actually that was just a joke on my part, most of my boyfriends were already off parole by the time I met them.

(and people wonder why I don't date much anymore!)

Rodzinski · « **Reply #85 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:36:25 PM »

Happy Anniversary Ben and Ant!!!

Rodzinski · « **Reply #86 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:39:12 PM »

I am a thrifter, no doubt about it. Brooklyn was a great place to live for stoop sales. I furnished my Park Slope apt. almost entirely using such sales. Some of the furniture I still have.

Of course you might guess that OCCASIONALLY, I will haunt thrift stores for there records.

Ben · « **Reply #87 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:40:06 PM »

MB, you're too funny!

No need to apologize for the card. You have the best stack of vintage cards I have ever seen. I love 'em!

Ben · « **Reply #88 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:42:00 PM »

There is a great CD/Record/Tap establishment in Minneapolis called Cheapo. Ant and I make a pilgrimage every time we get back to MN. I have made some good purchases there.

Tom, are you still on generators or has Playbill been returned to full power?

Rodzinski · « **Reply #89 on:** August 07, 2006, 12:42:14 PM »

I am fortunate to work near a Salvation Army store that has great turnover of LPs. In Manhattan, most thrift shop records have been long ago picked through and only the same junk remains. At my local Salvation Army, however, I have found a ton of interesting albums in my year here.
