Is that what things have come to....watching cement and asphalt?

That ... and folks discussing it on the internet!

And here was one of the true highlights of my time in Charlotte...

The Cornbread from Mert's Heart & Soul.

I've been eating at Mert's ever since the Fall SETC auditions were moved to Charlotte a couple of years ago. -It's just a block from the theatre, and the service is usually very fast. The cornbread has never really impressed me. Usually, it's "just OK", and there were a few times when I could tell it had been sitting in the warming oven a bit too long. However, this time it was just sooooo good. A thin, crisp crust, with just the right amount of crunch, and the "bread" was light, airy and practically exhaling corn essence. It was the first time I finished the mini-loaf that they serve with each meal.

*And it would be even better if they served it with real butter instead of margarine. But even the whipped margarine didn't damper my enjoyment.

CNN is watching the tarmac where Sara Palin will be landing. The tarmac hasn't done anything in all the time they have had the camera on it. They've been watching it for at least 20 minutes. People have walked on the tarmac, but it hasn't done anything. They still keep saying "We are watching the tarmac" Is that what things have come to....watching cement and asphalt?

Well, I guess since the networks broke into the regular daytime programming to show both Michelle Obama and Sarah Palin walking through their respective convention venues - when they were saying nothing(!) - they just have to follow through now. $:-\$

And for DR MBarnum...

I had tried to take more pictures at the Festival of India, however, most of the "cultural exhibits" happened to be sitting in the theatre watching the dancing demonstrations while I was there, so they weren't circulation through the crowd. However, this very nice group of people did pose for me.

And here are the shoes that the gentleman was wearing:

Do you have a pair of those, DR MBarnum?

I loved the costumes and hair "decor" that the young women were wearing. Some of the young women had real dried flowers woven and sewn into their hair. Truly intricate and beautiful.

Bruce, did you produce the "Babes In Arms" revival CD done with Judy Kaye, Jason and JQ and the Bandits?

Nope.

Shayne asked if I prefer the original cut of Darling Lili to the shortened director's cut (omitting about twenty-five minutes).

I think I prefer the original cut, but the film is sort of hopeless in either version. It's gorgeous to look at, the actors are all good, but the story is so odd, and the film just veers wildly, mood-wise, and I can never get with it - I like parts of it a lot, though, and Blake's direction, style-wise, is superb.

With the storm brewing in the east valley, I actually have my windows open at the moment and am enjoying the breeze and the promise of something other than an eternity of August.

Thanks for the photos Jose. No I do not have a pair of those shoes, yet.

Yes.

And one reason I am glad that I don't have a television.

It is August in Phoenix for a good 4 months. Just like it's January in Milwaukee for 4 months.

Well, I may be getting up early, earlier to get in line for tickets to Hair, or I may just sleep in (again). Either way...

Goodnight.

Finished with my DVD viewing for the evening. Watched the Cinerama Adventure doc that my pal Dave Strohmaier made. And I checked out the transfer, the much lauded transfer of How The West Was Won, and I'll have more to say about that in the notes.

A new venue for Adriana Hofstetter:

MACERICH / KITCHEN SINK STUDIOS

A $155-million renovation will open the formerly inwardly focused Santa Monica Place to the street and nearby ocean. A Bloomingdale’s store will replace Macy’s as the anchor.
