"Stressful Roller Coaster" is that the name of one of the shows?

I hope all goes well for everyone involved.

Well, Roller Derby is probably close enough!  ;)

Kerry, the fundraiser is November 5th - I'm VERY nervous about it, given the issues we're having getting the funding checks and because being here in NY for six weeks and not being able to deal with it, has put us in the horrible position of having to do everything in four weeks, and that includes selling 1000 tickets.  If there were any way to push the show into January, I would do it, as difficult as it would be.  Everything depends on the timeliness of the next funding payment which was, in fact, due on the 15th.  

On top of that, the entertainment portion of the OTHER fundraiser for the LACC Foundation is completely falling apart and unfortunately it's all going to be on my shoulders to fix it.  The conductor I got is now having "elbow" problems and may have surgery.  I suspect that these problems would go away if he could only have as many musicians as he wants - eighty.  Unfortunately, it's not possible because the most they can fit in the room is forty-five, and he's basically known this since July.  They'll be playing a musical tribute to Jerry Goldsmith, but NOW we're finding out that the charts won't necessarily work for forty-five players, because they're designed for symphony orchestras.  So, I'm not sure where this is leading, but since I arranged for all this, they're looking to me to fix it.  And I don't know how to fix it and do the benefit we're doing in November and it's just driving me crazy, which is why I'm up three hours after having gone to bed.

Good morning, all!  I'm a bit down today: it's partially fatigue from the past three days of work, a bit of mourning for my dad, and a bit of early withdrawal from "The Brain," the closing of which will be very sad for me. On the plus side, I've got several NYMF shows yet to see, including the grand opening tonight of THE LAST STARFIGHTER and SUCH GOOD FRIENDS

I also learned that our Plaza Hotel rehearsal time on Sunday has once again moved and it's now on Sunday morning at 10 am.  I'll be there.

I received an email from our DR MattH this morning; he's leaving the site for a while, but I hope it will not be permanent. As a person who's been through several rows with other DRs, including DR MattH, I know that this HHW nuclear family has its share of family feuds. That said, I hate it when someone feels no longer welcome, and I'm sorry to see him leave us.  I still miss DRs Jay and Stuart a lot.  Has anyone heard from DR Dan(the Man)?

I know it isn't Wednesday (Thank Goodness), but I do have a question for BK.   Has this version of THE BRAIN been taped or filmed - for educational purposes only.  This seemed like such a fine cast that it would be a shame not to save the memory.  Unless, of course, there is a chance that the show will reopen soon??? ::)

We were so tired from getting up at 6 and only having 4 hours of sleep the night before, that we never went back out last night, which is uncharacterstic of us in NY and an indicator of how exhausted we were from moving and then getting ready for the cat sitter to stay there.

I also think the book should be written!

I dreamed about THE BRAIN last night. I was backstage talking to Barry Pearl, who had on pink and blue brain makeup but hadn't donned his brain head yet.

The house darkened and I jumped up and slid down a long ramp to the seats and grabbed the only empty one I could find, which happened to be in front of my father and step-mother. I was very surprised to see them there, especially as my father would never be able to negotiate a theatre seat like that (he's in a wheelchair) and was very happy to see him.

Then the show started, and there was a crucial set piece missing on stage and they had to start over.

Boy, our dinner conversation really made its way into my dreams!

Well, since they can't even get their sound system to work, and a crew would want to plug into the board...

I do happen to have a sound man right here in my hotel room taking a shower. Now all we need are 3 camera people. (Not for the taking of the shower...)
