Well, actually, I prefer S'MAC. DR Jason and I have dined there a few times.

-Although, SuperMacNYC does have the deep-fried mac'n'cheese balls, so...

DR Jason and you dined there ONCE. We need to remedy that...

Back from a long, hot, sticky day... I feel fairly good about my audition today. I had arrived at the studio just moments before the casting director came out and brought me in to sing, so I'm afraid I wasn't quite as ready to go as I'd hoped to be, but I think it went well.

After the movie, I swam through 34th street to Garrett's Popcorn Shop and then made my way uptown to the movie theatre on 42nd Street, where I saw two - count 'em, TWO - motion pictures: "No Reservations" and "Transformers."

After that, I went to work at Avenue Q. And it's WAY too humid outside!

I had about 20 minutes before THE CLOSER was coming on, so I started BERSERK, and it's just as ridiculous and fun as I remembered. (I did skip the lengthy elephant act.) Ty Hardin meets Crawford, does his act, joins the show, and in the next scene, he's saying, "I'm crazy about you, Monica." Oh, my, how ludicrous. It makes me burst out laughing every time I see it.

Jose, we did find it, but it was so tiny inside that we went down the street to some bar and grill that was roomier.

Matt H. · « **Reply #453 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:28:06 PM »

THE CLOSER was indeed wonderful. I teared up a couple of times (won't spoil them for others) and then got petrified near the climax. Excellent episode.

OK - Well, I did warn you that it was a sliver of a place. But, again, remember, they deliver. Even to rehearsal studios.

Got to save some details for the notes, but after the meeting I went to FJL and Skip's home environment where I had the best time - unfortunately I had to deal with two telephonic calls whilst there, which I hate doing, but I had no choice. Skip is really a world-class cook - his fried chicken was superb, his ribs were spicy and yummilicious and his potato salad was beyond good - I had three big helpings. elmore was a no-show, I think he was not feeling well. The lovelier than lovely Julie and Milla were there, and we had a high old time and we laughed and laughed and just when we thought we could laugh no more, we laughed again.

SAVING GRACE was a little better tonight, but the case was unsolvable with the clues provided, so it turned into a crime drama rather than a mystery. The religious stuff still seems irritatingly intrusive, but at least tonight with churches playing a part in the story, it made more sense to have it.

bk · « **Reply #457 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:31:04 PM »

I do intend to try it - if not on this trip, definitely on the next one - I may have time in between meetings tomorrow to give it a whirl.

DR elmore was a no-show? When I went into the subway at 42nds Street, he said he was just going to hang out for a while - possibly in the Virgin Megastore - before heading over to Fred and Skip's. -Did he call? Did you call him?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #459 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:34:23 PM »

And remember, the Mac'N'Cheese at Macy's is pretty tasty too! Yes, Macy's.

Jason · « **Reply #460 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:36:19 PM »

Oooh...Macy's. I miss the grilled chicken caesar salad at Macy's.

When do you wanna go, Jose??

Matt H. · « **Reply #461 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:44:13 PM »

I'm heading downstairs now to go to bed. I can barely keep my eyes open.

Good night!

Oh, you had Skip's fried chicken!

I dream about that chicken.... I tried to make it myself but it was a pitiful pale facsimile of the original and proved to me I had no business attempting to make the dish myself

The Vixter's comment about my chicken. "Well, at least you tried"

Now aI want a pice of Skips delicous, moist, perfectly seasoned fried chicken

Well, there's always tomorrow.

Unless there were leftovers at Fred and Skip's tonight.

Now I'm worried. Did he call to cancel?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #465 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:50:00 PM »

Can someone call him to see if all is ok?

Cillaliz · « **Reply #466 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:50:58 PM »

Maybe he got lucky at the Virgin Megastore

It's nearly midnight, if he's sleeping he won't appreciate the call...

Well then he should have called to cancel his dinner plans

You're right, of course

Unless he called Fred and Skip, and bk just didn't indicate that in his post.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #470 on:** August 06, 2007, 08:58:13 PM »

And just where is DR FJL?

He may have done, bk didn't say

I guess he MUST have because bk said something about elmore not feeling well ...

I keep telling Lucy the kitten that she will not like kettle corn, but she doesn't believe me. Also, she'd like me to move aside so she can use the computer.

Just picturing this made me laugh!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #474 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:01:07 PM »

Well, I'm sure DR elmore is all right.

-I just hope BK is comfortable tonight. It's definitely not as cool as it was last night, and the humidity is hovering around 70%. $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #475 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:02:03 PM »

Well... It's been a string of long days for me, and I truly am about to fall asleep on my laptop, so...

Goodnight.

vixmom · « **Reply #476 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:02:28 PM »

Well I must to bed...

VIBES to Elmore... wherever he is!!!

MBarnum · « **Reply #478 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:07:44 PM »

If DR Elmore does not post first thing in the morning (east coast time) will someone please call him and make sure he is Okaydokay? Just to be sure.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #479 on:** August 06, 2007, 09:09:25 PM »

VIBES to ELMORE...hope you are home and sleeping well.
