Love the pictures from NYC of 1993. Such memories of those shows in the photos. Loved them (though I would rather have seen FALSETTOS win Best Musical over CRAZY FOR YOU).

Media check:

CD - DREAMGIRLS IN CONCERT

VCR - 1992 Winter Olympic women's figure skating competition.

DVD - A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE followed by something fun like THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS.

I finally had to replace my trusty Memorex VCR yesterday. It had been faltering for weeks, and last night it just would not play properly so it was out with the Memorex and in with the Samsung (which I bought on sale last year in anticipation of this occurrence).

DR Kerry, if DR and mate MusicGuy can't reduce your pic, I certainly can and would be glad to do it. Just let me know.

Good morning everyone! We have beautiful freezing rain here. So it is very icy outside (or it looks to be very icy).

On to read page two.

DR Matt you have a new photo!

DR Andrea: That is the fastest border inspection in history. I never get through that fast. They always want to know where I'm going, what I'm going to do there ... One time I actually got a bit flustered. It was so bizarre, but the guy was really grilling me (I was going to NYC). He wanted to know every detail about my trip. And I guess he was making me nervous. But he wanted to know exactly which shows I was seeing. And even though I knew in my mind what I wanted to see (although I hadn't gotten the tickets yet). My mind went blank. But since I knew I had to give him an answer I ended up saying "Fosse" and "Chicago" (which were both playing, but I wasn't seeing either). It was totally bizarre.

Does anyone know when the cds for BOUNCE or the new WONDERFUL TOWN are coming out?

Btw, DR Emily: I also find it very strange how much a payphone costs in NYC. Here (as you know) it's 25 cents for as long as you want. Do other cities have time limits (as well as the higher prices)?

Welcome to new DRs Penny and Robin.

I love babies and I thought that pic is so cute!

BK good luck with your dish (now you can tape Alias!).

DR Emily: You are almost a goddess, hurry.

I enjoyed my DVDs from last night: Daddy Day Care and Emma and Alex (or is it the other way around).

They weren't genius. But the first was funny and the second was sweet (although there were a few things that should have been fixed).

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Matt H. · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2004, 07:31:14 AM »

Yes, Jennifer, I put up the new pic to celebrate the new year. Thanks for noticing.

Just read a long list of Warners Special Edition DVDs coming out in Region 2 releases this year, and I'm hopeful that they'll just port them over to Region 1 while they're at it. The ones that interested me most were the MGM (and RKO) Marx Bros. collection, an Errol Flynn collection (didn't have which titles, but I'm sure hoping for THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX, THE SEA HAWK, and GENTLEMAN JIM), FORBIDDEN PLANET and KING KONG special editions, and a Johnny Weismuller/TARZAN boxed set.

Better start saving my pennies now!

One of my favorite lines from "Auntie Mame" because of the choice of words, timing, delivery, etc. (not counting practically ALL of Little Glorie's lines) is,

"I'm a bride!!!!"

Tomovoz-- beautiful photo-- no wonder you are proud.

I'll let you know what ends up in the various machines later.

td-- I'm so glad you discovered Cam Clarke. I knew you'd like him (and his CD). Maybe I'll dig out my CD and play it today.

Ditto. Such a gorgeous family portrait. Heavenly.

Well, in the dvd player, for some odd reason is Cliff Richard in THE YOUNG ONES.
In the cd player is of course, Cam Clarke, WICKED, Connie Francis' BEST OF, an obscure American rockabilly artist - Ral Donner (who sounds remarkably like Elvis, only with a vibrato) and 007: THE BEST OF BOND.
I think the appearance of Jason Graae at the Kennedy Center is still in the vcr.

Well, Kerry, of course you knew that I'd like Cam; you know me so well.

Thanks for those covers, DR td. I'm REALLY looking forward to ST. LOUIS and FORBIDDEN PLANET. Those laserdiscs of them which I have must be getting near the breaking point. KING KONG is undoubtedly a classic, and I have it on a Criterion laserdisc, too, but I don't play it very often.

Matt H. · « **Reply #43 on:** January 03, 2004, 08:25:15 AM »

I'm sorry, DR JRand, but those shows didn't run long enough for me to remember them. Maybe I can catch them in some revival somewhere.

Panni you should be happy with your karma today.

Tomovoz the photo of mother and daughter is simply beautiful. Lucky you.

Payphones cost fifty cents here, too. It's a racket.

I really want a Cherry Coke, but we don't have any. What am I to do?

Graba can of coke, grab a jar of maraschino cherries, pour the juice from the cherries into a glass, add coke to taste.

Yo, gang! Another gawjus day in Paradise... alas, I leave for drizzlier climes tomorrow mawnin. (Roz Russel in Auntie Mame, "Mawnin', mawnin', y'all" while mincing about in too-tight boots. I still laugh...)

Thanks for the pix of New York - a twinge of homesickness, the old longing to get back there asap.

How nice of everyone to welcome me so enthusiastically... so this is what Jane and Bruce were yammering about for so many months! Feels like family, doesn't it...

CD player: wads of Vivaldi (driving music)
VCR: Groundhog Day. Seen it dozens of times... Deja vu...

Have any of you Diet Cherry Coke lovers ever tasted a Cheerwine or Diet Cheerwine? You'd be spoiled forever if you ever had one of those. They're a regionally bottled soft drink that's more cherry tasting than a Diet Cherry Coke but HIGHLY addictive.

MBarnum · « **Reply #51 on:** January 03, 2004, 09:06:53 AM »

Wonderful pictures JRand53, you must have had a great trip!

Tomovoz, that is a superb pic of neice and grand-niece. So I feel obligated now to show a pic of the light of Great Uncle Mike's life...baby Taylor. Here she is being held by the other light of my life, my neice Katie (Taylor's aunt)!

Good Morning all. Sorry I was E & T yesterday but I think you will forgive me. I wasn’t feeling very well again. I stopped off at the drug store to pick up a prescription last night and even the druggist said I looked very pale. I took my BP and it was 147/103. By the time I got home, I was seeing spots. I made it in the door, told Mom I was going straight to bed and did just that.

It was so weird, I felt like I was falling even though I was lying flat in bed. I was almost to the point where I thought I was going to call 911 but I didn’t want to scare Mom and the dogs with an ambulance coming to the door. I managed to go to sleep—fully clothed from work until about 2 when I woke and was finely able to get undressed. I slept some more until about 10:30 this morning. I still feel a bit weak and dizzy but I think I’m past the worst of it.

I wanted to rake the leaves up in the front yard but I think that’s out. I think I’m going to take it easy today and tomorrow. If I can't shake this, I may call my doctor and go over to the emergeny room.

Sorry Jane, but I don't know the eposide names of JAG so I can’t answer your question.

I hope the skier was found alive and well.

Welcome and happy posting to the newbies.

Bruce, I hope your satellite dish gets installed and works well for you today. I also hope your getting the Sci Fi Channel. It's the best.

Talk to ya'll later.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

Great pics all around!

Media Check - Nothing, except for the demo CD of the songs in the show I'm working on - sung and played by the composer/lyricist/playwright himself.

DR MattH - I LOVE Cheerwine! The 7-11s in Richmond used to carry it, but it doesn't seem to make it that far north anymore. I usually buy a few six-packs whenever I have to drive in/thru North Carolina.

-OK - Slept in a little too much... Time to get ready for the matinee...

Good Day!

Matt H. · « **Reply #57 on:** January 03, 2004, 09:28:42 AM »

Thank goodness, DR Jose, that someone else other than me knows about Cheerwine. It's really a very special soft drink, maybe not for all tastes, but I definitely love it. It's bottled about 20 miles from Charlotte.

Matt H. · « **Reply #58 on:** January 03, 2004, 09:31:11 AM »

I agree. Wonderfully expressive and daunting cat, DR MBarnum.

Anyone remember poor Ben Vereen at the Tony nomination announcements when he called THE WHO'S TOMMY nomination for Best Musical: "THE WHO by TOMMY." He seemed totally out of it, probably on some kind of pain killers.

Good afternoon/morning to y'all. I REALLY need to fix my sleeping schedule. I cannot keep staying up until 4 and getting up at 12-1. Especially since school begins again on Monday,

.

In my CD is a mix CD that I found one day under a dresser in a beach house we were staying at. It has a lot of fun songs, Michael Jackson, Madonna, pretty much every hit from the 80's.

DVD is eeeeeeempty. My computer DVD was enabled when I had it fixed.

In my VHS is NOT a bootleg tape of Cabaret that my friend DIDN'T buy online and DIDN'T lend to me. It's not that good anyway.

MBarnum: You think a 13 lb cat is giant?! I have two cats, and both are at least 17, if not more. We're trying SO hard to get them to lose weight, we've even gone so far as to only feed them non-fatfood, every other day. Yet they STILL don't lose weight.

Tomovoz, that is a gorgeous picture!
