You shoulda packed up your suitcase and buttcheeks and joined us! It's a group of mad party animals, I gotta tell ya.

Would that I could have! But worked called and that new TV certainly set me back a few pesos, too.

Lar, I hope the event at the Plaza tonight is as spectacular as they anticipate and that your musicians do you proud!

Hi, Cillaliz, I hope you and Sam have a great flight (and extra cookies!)

Sam is wonderful, and I'm glad she had a great time!

We had breakfast with our dear friend John early this morning. He's the editor for Merchant-Ivory and has cut their last 3 or 4 films. He and James Ivory will be coming down to Atlanta in a few weeks and we will get to use our guest room for the first time. (for John, not James!)

John and I worked on a film together and lived at The Wellington for several months, 20 years ago, so it was fun to have breakfast at the Wellington cafe, just like old times.

John holds a special place in our hearts because Greg and I met working on one of his films, a short called WRITER'S BLOCK, which used to air on the Z Channel 20 some years ago. Maybe bk remembers it?

Who would have thought back then that we all would have ended up where we are now? We have all been very blessed to be able to do what we love for a living.

It was great to finally be harassed by meet der B in person, and to meet the very sweet S Woody White. What a nice couple! I can't beleive they were able to do that whole trip in one day. It made me tired just thinking about it!

DR td - A couple of friends of mine saw "Eastern Promises" this weekend too, and raved about it.  *They also talked about Mr. Mortensen's "Viggo".  ;)

EASTERN PROMISES was Awesome.

In my mind- The Best Film of the Year.

What comes in mind?  The Godfather

Now we're going down to Tribeca to see another old Atlanta friend who designs neon installations. The shop is called "All That Neon".

If anyone finds that they need some custom neon...

I didn't get to say goodbye to Elmore; I was hoping he'd come to John's.

Wonder if the rehearsal is open to the public? Hmmmmm...



My intentions were to get to John's, but after the spilled margarita, all I wanted to do was get home and out of the sticky mess.  I suspect though, that if i'd got to John's they might have turned me away since they clearly were heading for closing time by the time the first inlux had arrived.

In retrospect, I wish that I or someone else had thought to plan on reserving a big space for all the guests as well as the cast and crew.

Now, for today, the rehearsal is at 4:30 at the Plaza, but I have no idea when the fireworks piece will be played; there are several pieces on the program and a singer, but if you want to come to the rehearsal, call me and we'll meet up before 4:30 around 59th and Fifth Avenue.

Before then, I'll be coming from the NYPL and the copyists.  I'm not sure I will be going to tonight's event: I make it a rule in Manhattan to avoid the situations outside the theatre where crowds gather.  I'll check out the lay of the land at rehearsal.

DR FJL, I had a copy of S&V to give you but I wanted to give it to you when you left for home so oyu woun't have to carry it around.

And then I forgot!

I will mail it to you or possibly drop it by your front desk if we have time before we leave.

Once again,  it was a joy to see your show. We absolutely loved it!

My DH, the wiser of the two of us, thinks that might be pushing it since we will be picked up at 5:25 by the car service.

So alas, I probably won't get to see you before we leave. But we will be back up in Januay for Nora's Bat Mitzvah (she was at the show last night) and I will want to hit Barney Greengrass again for more whitefish and salmon! Yummmm!

Break a leg tonight and I hope the crowd is well-behaved!

DR MATTH - I have a HDMI pt connection on my television, should my regular DVD player be hooked up to that instead of where it is?

THERE, now you know you're back.

We returned our cabinet half assembled and they took it, no problem.

From JMK:
Quote
Yes, but BeeGee doesn't use his nose, like Sherlock does.  BeeGee literally "stands up" (on his hind legs) and uses his front paw to press the doorbell button.  All the while giving us the "are you crazy leaving me out here in the fresh air?" plaintive look.

JRand, BeeGee is a clever boy & figured out his bell ringing trick all on his own while we taught Sherlock to ring his little cow bell.  What we didn’t expect was how much Sherlock would enjoy the sound of the bell.  As he walks past it he likes to lean in body into the bell & make it ring, often walking back & worth to do it multiple times.  When he is serious about getting our attention he uses his nose, over and over and over again.

DR Jane re: the President's CUP golf tournament.

The weird thing is that the golf course is not near where i live.  I've never been there.  But i think it's probably a 20-30 minute drive.

It's just the parking lot (buses took people to the golf course) that was on the field near my house.  It made for ridiculous amounts of people here.

Hi DRMattH! While you were gone i made some comments about most of the new shows i watched (reaper, chuck, dirty sexy money, bionic woman). (click on my name and see my last 10 posts).

I'm curious did you see DIRTY SEXY MONEY? It was much different than what i was expecting.

TOD:  well it should come as no surprise to anyone that I love the cover versions of pop hits by Sergio Mendes and Percy Faith.  I sent this one to Tomovoz the other day--it's a Slovenian cover version of Sergio's own tune (with the Bergmans) "Look Around":
