That's me! Punctual, predictable, and...boring.

Yes, you were going to tell us all about your evenings at The Mine Shaft.

Today at work, I received a package from www.soundofmusic-shop.de...which is fortunate, since I had ordered the two enclosed CDs and had them sent to my work! Even though it's not tomorrow, in my CD player RIGHT NOW is:

Boscos Endins, the original Spanish (Catalan) cast recording of Into the Woods!

George · « **Reply #214 on:** June 05, 2008, 03:13:55 PM »

After that will be the original Czech cast recording of The Witches of Eastwick[/u]. What's cool about this recording is that it has the complete lyrics...not that I read Czech at all.

Good morning!

Another very hot (for early June) day with temps in the upper 90s. Looks like summer has arrived early here. And no rain at all in the forecast for the next five days. We're already running four inches behind for the year and added to the 12 inches behind from last year, wew're still in drought conditions.

The Pacific Northwet summer has arrived. Torrential rain, heavy winds. Hot town, summer in the city!

I just had a phone call from my very dear friend from high school. He has been working in Turkey for the last ten years, and he just returned to town. We chatted until my phone battery went dead.

I'll bet he never saw that coming!

Brad Ross and his girlfriend Dru had dinner here several weeks back.

I think I understand the criteria to be that for a musical that has a history to be in the L.A. festival, it has to be a Southern Calif. debut.

Here in canada we have HMV which is a huge music store.

We also have Best Buy and something called Future Shop. But the last 2 sell appliances too!

Future Shop went bankrupt in the U.S, many years ago.

Only Hong Kong. Their McDonald's was good.

Re: Cubby bernstein

I took it for what it is: A lark. I never took it seriously. The most recent episode with Nathan lane and Cheyanne (sp?) is a hoot and I actually laughed out loud a watch it a second time.

anyone know who the actor playing cubby is?

I didn't take it seriously - I just didn't find it that funny. Like the show it's touting, it's a little too self-involved and winking for me - just not what I find amusing.

My in-laws saw this in London when it was running. They had the opportunity to buy me the OLC, autographed, but, NOOOOO, they got me a lovely coffee mug emblazoned with the logo instead.

I never cook chicken legs on the stovetop (only in the oven for 1 hour).

This is the same chicken that in the oven would take 1 hour at 375F.

I know if i just put it on the grill (for up to 20 minutes) that it would not be cooked.

My mom had 2 ideas. One was to boil it for 10 minutes first. The second was to bake it part way through.

The thing is i don't care if i only put it on the grill for 10 minutes. I just want it to be cooked!

My friends who used to make wonderful barbecue chicken, told me they always partially cooked in the microwave before putting it on the grill. It was pretty great.

Cilla, of course there are exceptions to the stage door madness. You have no idea what goes on - people doing stage door when they haven't even seen that performance, doing it ten or twenty times - all you need to do is read the chat boards.

What, read the chat boards... sorry I don't hang around crazed teens

Hi, Julie,

Newbie goes away at 51 posts if I recall correctly.

I think Gypsy and 39 Steps are good choices. I'm not a fan of Xanadu but both Fred (FJL) and Jose like the show so there you have it. We've been over the pros and cons before. Many people (Larry (Elmore) and I are in a small minority) find the show wonderfully funny and a great take on a very, very, very bad movie. I respectfully disagree.

You should be able to get half-price tickets for August: Osage County at the TKTS booth. It's a big hit but it's still on half-price. The mezzanine tickets are actually better (in my humble opinion) because of the set design. You get to see the whole picture easier than if you're sitting in the orchestra. The Music Box Theatre is small anyway so wherever you sit your view will be OK. I do recommend August: Osage County. It's 3/12 hours of family dysfunction but the time flies by and it's very funny.

I sat in the orchestra third row on the house left side. I could see most everything, but not the far upstairs unless they were actually sitting on the bed.

3-1/2 HOURS OF FAMILY DYSFUNCTION - that should be a great title, shouldn't it?

Only 3 1/2 hours of family disfunction...that sounds like a vacation!

Boy, does it feel like tornado weather outside. Whew! We are under a PDS warning Particularly Dangerous Situation. My, that sure is comforting. We had rain wind and hail this noon, but it's supposed to get bad tonight. I did put a transistor radio and a flashlight in my closet under the basement stairs. I figure that's the best place in the house to go.
There were 46 reported tornados in Nebraska and Iowa south of here yesterday.
