No way! Is there really such a thing? I must have one(sie!)

No, there isn't. But many unscrupulous people have requested them. I do, however, have "The Internet Is For Porn" mousepads and t-shirts that read, respectively, "It Sucks To Be Me," and "Yeah, They're Real." Oh, and one that says, "More Drinks! More Fun!"

Well, DR Jason does have a matinee, but I could always meet you down there - and, actually, I was thinking of seeing your show tomorrow afternoon anyway (before DR elmore's ticket), so...

Regardless of which show I see tomorrow - if any - we could always bring back some banana pudding for DR Jason. *And, remember, if you are not getting cupcakes at Magnolia, you do not have to wait in line, you can go right in.

Well, shall we play it by ear as always?

All this talk of baked goodness makes me feel like going to the evil gym tomorrow. I mean, might as well... seeing as how I'm paying $89 million dollars a month to work out once in a blue moon...

DR Jrand - Haunt your mailbox next week.

Jason · « **Reply #546 on:** August 17, 2007, 10:06:12 PM »

I need at least 24 hours' notice before any banana pudding is to be consumed so I can do 3 or 4 hours of yoga to earn some puddin' points.

I'm just sayin'...

DR Ron Pulliam - I remember "Dream House". *And there are still times when I'm walking around The City wondering if the "dream house" is still there.

Dream House on Church Street? I spent time there with friends from England who knew the composer, Lamote Young. It was still up and running as of last month, still playing the same chord:

As for "The Cason and Jason Show", "The Jason and Cason Show", "Cason/Jason", "Jason/Cason", well...

Would you like some Monkey Cake"?

Edi I would be interested to hear what you think of the links I posted....

Very well done, obviously by someone well versed in the popular trailer tricks. (That sounds sort of dirty....) That is, certain ways of cutting that everyone else then steals. A friend of mine has been a trailer editor for many years and I've seen people copy things he came up with.

I saw the Shining one a few years ago, and the Mary Poppins one last week. (It may have been posted here?) I hadn't seen the Sound of Music one though. I think that's my favorite!

And Thanks for all the Congrats on my upcoming Mary Poppins gig. I really do owe Brad big time for offering this to me, and working around the one conflict I have during the time - which happens to fall at the end of the first week of rehearsals.

I got my copy of the piano/vocal score today, and, well... There a LOT of notes. And since I'll be playing rehearsals for any of the scenes that the children are in, well, I have a lot of music to practice and learn - including a bunch of dance sequences. It'll be a challenge, but I'm feeling up to it right now. I'll basically be employed for about four or five weeks. The cool thing about the schedule is that they rehearse Wednesday-Sunday, so I'll have at least two days off a week for other work - or just to take off (which I'm sure I'll need). And I'll also start learning one of the keyboard books so that I can start covering for the associate conductor (when she conducts).

I must admit, until I met you I never really thought about or appreciated what an editor does and how importnant she is to the finished product

DR Jane - I'm not going to Alaska. And I had already sort of decided that before this Mary Poppins gig fell in my lap. Timing-wise, it was just too long a slot - two weeks - to be out of town - and not available for work. And paying for the trip would have also put a slight strain on my bank account for September. However, since I seem to be in the midst of a very "profitable" period right now, I'm seriously considering either taking another cruise sometime in October, and/or heading down to Disneyworld for a couple of days. I haven't been to the Magic Kingdom in a couple of years, and since I can now get into the parks for free, well...

We shall see...

A good editor can make a film that sucks not suck as much. My best work always goes unnoticed!

When people ask my mom what I do for a living as an editor, she tells them that I "cut out the bad stuff". Which is sort of true, in a way, still...

It's always nice when someone appreciates the work an editor does!

I'm still trying to find someone with a copy of one of the pre-Broadway San Francisco performances of "Wicked".

Hmm... ~~Those have been available for years.~~
