Time to pack up the laptop, we'll be boarding pretty soon. See you in the Big Apple.

Samantha says hi and she can't believe that she's really on her way to New York.

Gosh i must be so out of it that when i saw DR MattH write "I will refrain from posting" i thought he was talking about not posting re: tv shows.

I don't think anybody wrote any comments in a mean way. So i really don't see why anyone should feel hurt. But it's very difficult to know what another's tone is on this board.

So if i said anything to offend DR MattH i'm sorry. And i hope you'll come back.

FWIW, I thought the requests were quite reasonable, and not offensive in any way.

Good morning all!
Thank goodness the cool front has moved into NYC...

I'm pretty excited for today - definitely ready to do the "Brain" again, followed by taking in the opening night of my dear daddy's "The Last Starfighter."

Tons and tons of vibes ('cause I know they'll need 'em) to both the "Starfighter" and "SGF" casts and crews for the all-day techs, plus their big NYMF opening nights!

Travel vibes to everyone who is coming into the City today (hello to Samantha - welcome to the craziness that is HHW; you'll get a crash course this weekend!)...can't wait to see all of you!

Cason · « **Reply #93 on:** September 28, 2007, 07:35:22 AM »

I'm also very sad to see MattH go...
I can't say I know him very well, but his shining avatar will be missed until he comes back!

As for the Friday Media Check...

Hmm... I haven't really listed to much of anything this week. Of course, that hasn't stopped be from buying any new CDs this week.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #99 on:** September 28, 2007, 07:53:49 AM »

-Oh, I did get watch "Grey's Anatomy" last night courtesy of the DVR. Who knows when I'll have time to catch up on the rest of the programs that are currently saved on the DVR? $:-\$

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #100 on:** September 28, 2007, 07:56:28 AM »

And since I really do want to be warmed-up and prepared for today's rehearsal...

*I'm done at 5:00, so if any dinner plans happen to shape up in the meantime, just give me a call.

Laters...

Was SMALLVILLE on last night. I looked in the schedule (cause i had thought it was supposed to start) and it was not there.

It aired here. I watched "Ugly Betty" and DVR'ed "Smallville".

Regarding MattH and his taking a break:

It's my understanding that he is, currently, overwhelmed with work -- the reviewing of DVDs that td mentioned in a previous post. He not only has two accounts -- Criterion and Disney -- but he also has become the reviewer of choice by his editor for the onslaught of titles other reviewers with larger accounts cannot get to. Add to this Matt's own DVD interests and he finds the days growing shorter and shorter and the viewing/reviewing demands a constant.

I hope, after he finds time to catch his breath, he will come back. A break can be a beneficial thing.

A random memory: When I was 6 or 7, I woke up one morning to hear my mom counting my freckles. She then told me I had epidermis all over my face.

I was horrified.

Thanks for that perspective, DR Ron Pulliam.

It reminds me of a little story, not related. In college, I worked summers to earn spending money at a local Pepperidge Farm factory making croutons & stuffing [I kid you not!]. Many of the managers spoke in a broken English. Whenever it was time for a break, they'd say, "Go for break," and make a sign with their hands, suggestive of breaking a twig. I always found that amusing. What was NOT amusing was trying to get the black grease stains nightly out of my white uniform. And us summer temp folks were only issued one.

Hiya, gang!

First, best opening night vibes to Noel, Fred and Skip. I have seen productions of Brain and Starfighter - but Such Good Friends will have to wait until I can get there for the Broadway opening.

CD player has Bach lute suites.

I know I'm gonna hate myself for asking this question, but why would "making croutons and stuffing" lead to "black grease stains" on your uniforms?

PennyO · « **Reply #115 on:** September 28, 2007, 08:28:37 AM »

I hope someone is taping this final Brain... could be that all the many tech cues will be spot on... and with a full house, deep and full laughs for all the jokes... that would be nice to save for a final memory of this production.

PennyO · « **Reply #116 on:** September 28, 2007, 08:29:20 AM »

Ron! Shipoopy and Doody??? They have herb teas for that...

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #117 on:** September 28, 2007, 08:31:51 AM »

I thoroughly enjoyed, this past weekend, my watching of the film "The Last Starfighter" in its recent HD-DVD incarnation. It's breathtaking for the first time on home video.

This morning, I learned from local news that tonight's San Francisco Opera performance of "Samson and Delilah" will be simulcast in HD-DVD at the downtown ballpark (AT&T Park) on is huge HD screen.

And that led me to wish that the NYMF productions would be simulcast in HD DVD...for pay-per-view customers.

I'd love to see all the shows, needless to say, but especially "The Brain from Planet X", "The Last Starfighter" and "Such Good Friends."

Well, some people handle the food part, and some the machinery part. I'm not terribly mechanical, which made it all the more funny. On the days when I was on the food line, my job, for 8 hours a day, was to take slightly stale baked loaves of bread out of baskets and put them on a conveyer belt to go into the machine to be cubed. You try doing that for 8 hours a day in a noisy, hot factory - and this was before Walkmans! It was the best incentive I ever had to finish school.

And - to anticipate your next question: No. I never re-enacted the Lucille Ball scena.

Well, if not taping it, they'll certainly be tapping it.
