Be back later.

Nancy's, Art's and David's versions are the only ones I know.

Same here. And both David's and Nancy's are high on my list.

Ooo! I also just found this one: Bossa Nova Hotel!

Favorite Bossa Nova? Mr. Sondheim's The Ladies Who Lunch

Casting completed this morning. I'll announce the names when the contracts are all signed.

Oh, by the way, I'm back from Brooklyn. Managed to find the dancewear place I was looking for and found a pair of tap shoes (I, of course, up and left mine in LA and didn't realize it until I was about halfway on my drive to Arizona). I was listening to the Brain CD and when it hit the Brain Tap, immediately I smacked myself on the forehead...

You could have driven north to Washington State, Case, I would have smacked your forehead for you.

It just would have been more of a headache that it was worth (including sending my apartment keys through the mail...), plus these shoes were affordable - the place in Brooklyn was nice and had them specifically - and I just thought a day out would be nice.

Give the kid a break! If he wants to start his New York career wearing Brooklyn tap shoes; then that is his business. So what if he can't afford to eat for the entire month of September.

Absolutely!!! Especially as I just found out our backup choice is not available.

If this leading lady choice doesn't work out, perhaps elmore could talk to Bernadette Peters for you?

MBarnum: Do you know who Amitra Rao is?

If you do, she was the Grand Marshal of "Festival of India" in Fremont CA this past weekend. This festival has grown significantly over the past eight years...thousands and thousands of people enjoy a parade and several days of mingling among booths of Indian foods and goods. There is a HUGE Indian population in the South Bay.

Bollywood is a theme in several nightclubs, etc.

As a matter of fact I do know who she is, although I have yet to see any of her films (I do have a few of them here...just haven't watched them yet). I see her a lot in the Bollywood gossip magazines. She is very pretty.

Good Evening!

What a lovely afternoon and early evening I had.

I met up with DR Cason after my auditions, and we basically walked here and there. I gave him the brief version of the "Jose's Favorite Carbs" tour, and we even met up with DR Jason and supped at the Edison Cafe.

After walking Jason to the Golden for his shift at Avenue Q, we walked up 8th Ave... Past Amy's Bread... Past Empanada Mama... Past whym... Then made a stop into the Time-Warner Center... Then continued walking up Broadway to 86th Street. -We waved at DR elmore's abode on the way.

Once at 86th Street, we walked toward the Park. We did not check out the Reservoir. Alas, by that point, DR Cason was a bit tuckered out. Youth truly is wasted on the young.

So, I hopped the C Train uptown, and DR Cason headed back down to Times Square.

*DR Miss Karen - You and your DH have done a fine job of raising a wonderful young man. A forgetful one, but still wonderful.

Oh... And I happened to have what has become my favorite audition experience today... It's sort of hard to explain in words, but let's just say it brought a smile to everyone's face in the room this afternoon.

But, in brief:
-The King & I Dance Call
-Final 12 dancers
-Broken English
-Dreamgirls

Mine was "And you better make that cat happy" or something like that

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #256 on:** August 13, 2007, 07:29:38 PM »

And DR Cason and I ended up witnessing some rather unbelievable and entertaining behavior while walking through Bryant Park. We were so entertained - as were some other people - by what this one woman was doing, that we were tempted to stay and keep watching. Alas, we continued on over to Grand Central, but we did walk back around a couple minutes later just to follow-up.

Let's just say that some people will do anything to make sure they can get a good seat on the lawn of Bryant Park. To see a movie. A free movie. And, apparently, she arranged to have catering on the lawn too.

Evening greetings to all. I had a busy and fun filled weekend. Yesterday I ventured out to Fire Island with my good friend and some of his buddies. It's costly and takes forever to get out there, but I do love it there.

TPunk · « **Reply #260 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:01:21 PM »

Tomorrow I am going to be out sick. And while recuperating, I will go to the gym, do laundry, do some sewing, go to a cat adoption meeting, and meet Rodzinski for a drink.

The kittens are going home to their mommy tomorrow, so I guess they want to make the most of their last night with us. I hope we still have furniture left standing when we get up in the morning.

I am going to finish watching The Hills then get ready for bed. Sweet dreams to all.

There is a Truman Club breakfast at 8:00 AM for John and Elizabeth Edwards. I've seen him a number of times, but haven't met Elizabeth and really want to meet her...so I must get to sleep. An 8:00 AM gathering is really early.

Night.

I began my evening of viewing with the Charlie Chan film THE BLACK CAMEL. This must be the earliest Warner Oland Chan that is still in existence. (1931) I had never seen it before, and I certainly enjoyed it. Robert Young looked like he was about 18 in it. I did not guess the identity of the murderer correctly.

Waiting for THE CLOSER to come on, I pulled out the season 2 box set and watched "Mom Duty," which introducerd us to Frances Sterhagen as Brenda's mother. Always a wonderful episode.

Matt H. · « **Reply #269 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:29:42 PM »

Tonight's episode of THE CLOSER was superb, a real change of pace, and yet still Brenda got to do her job as only she can.

And I thought the two S.W.A.T. team members who were guarding her were cute as could be. Barry Corbin did superbly as Brenda's father, exactly what I was expecting from him.
