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.
