My hunch was right about one thing.

80% of the people who came to Roger Corman's table had their own thing for him to sign.




What was the MOST interesting thing someone brought, or the thing that made Mr Corman stop to examine it......

There was nothing really out of the ordinary.  A lot of people had Roger's book that they wanted signed.  There were also a lot of foreign posters from his movies.

I think that one guy spent close to $1000.00 at our table.

The truth is that the HOLLYWOOD COLLECTOR'S SHOW was fairly well attended yesterday.

With the exception of 1 or 2 5-minute lulls, there were always people at our table.  In fact, we were so busy that, unlike every other show I've attended, I was unable to get up, walk around and visit the other tables.



I received an e-mail from someone who goes to the show regularly and was merely passing on HER assessment of the attendance.  But since Druxy also thought the last show was fine (it wasn't - but his guy did well), I'm sure yesterday's show was not as well-attended as it should have been, given the lineup.  I would, in fact, have been surprised if Mr. Corman DIDN'T have people at his table all day - he's new to the show and no matter what the attendance in general, the people who were there probably came specifically to see him.  It was the same when Bert I. Gordon did it the first time - not a packed crowd, but he always had people at his table.  The gal who wrote me didn't say it was ill-attended like the last show, just that she was a little surprised that it wasn't more people.  I'm looking forward to going.

You're absolutely right.

"Fine" is defined by how well you (or your guy) does. 

Yesterday, I was aware that all the celebrities seated around us seemed to be doing well.

What more can I say?

Parking is at a premium at the hotel, so I'm going to head out there now.

See you later, BK.

Very much enjoyed DR Edisaurus's and bk's accounts of their most interesting days yesterday.

I did as well.  DR's Amy & Mark, thank you for your additional descriptions of Bruce's reading. :)

The new dog down the street is no longer tied to a tree.  There is a strong (I hope) rope tied to the house and then to the tree, and she has a lead that lets her trot along the length of the rope.  But she has no dog house or shelter.  She was sleeping when I drove by about half an hour ago.

Somewhat good news.  Please let us know if you ever seen anyone giving the poor dog attention.  Does she have water?

Yes.  She was part of my crack team of helpers who assisted on a zillion chores related to Such Good Friends.  She's 20 today.

Druxy - do you know about the well-talked-about musical that will be at NAMT this year, BEATSVILLE,  based on Mr. Corman's movie Bucket of Blood?

Jane, for your sake, I didn't post the gorgeously lurid photographs

I'll take your word on that and not look at the link.  Strange custom.

I am sure Miss Doggie has food and water, but they are probably closer to the house than I can see from the street.  DRJANE I am not sure about her getting any attention, I never see anyone in the yard there....

Wow....can a musical version of THE UNDEAD be far behind?

There are a few things listed there that sound like fun.....but so much of it sounds.....well tired or at least uninspired....I wish some of the titles were zippier!

As the weather turns cold a call to the Humane Society might send someone to their house for a talk about proper care & housing of the dog.  It's worth a try.

Back from the long jog, and will now shower and then be on my way.  I've been warned that the parking situation is even worse than the last show.  If it's terrible, I just turn around and come home.

And since I've been up, I've made breakfast... I improvised a sort of matzohbrei that was more like a pita-brei.  I had a bag of pita chips that was down to its last crumbs, so, I mixed those into some eggs that I had beaten up with a splash of milk, poured that into a pan, and cooked it away pancake-style.  It turned out quite nice.  I also cooked up some bacon in the oven that I had seasoned with black pepper (freshly ground, of course) and some fresh rosemary leaves.  Another YUM!  -Most definitely not kosher, but YUM! ;)

DR edisaurus - And, yes, you most likely had cod at Nobu.  It's the signature dish there - Black Cod with (White) Miso. In fact, chef, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa is "responsible" for the black cod "craze" that is still somewhat prevalent in New York and L.A. restaurants.

In fact, here's the (very) basic recipe - which is a testament to how a few high-quality ingredients can contribute to a wonderful finished dish.

Quote
Broiled Cod in Miso Sauce

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

6 Tablespoons white miso (fermented soybean paste)*
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)*
1/4 cup sake
4 6-ounce black cod or sea bass fillets (each about 3/4 inch thick)
Start marinating the fish for this dish at least two hours before you plan to serve it.

Mix first 4 ingredients in shallow baking dish. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover dish tightly and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours.

Preheat broiler.

Remove fish from marinade. Broil until just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.

*Available at Japanese markets, specialty foods stores and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

*And Chef Nobu makes his own White Miso - which you can now find at your local gourmet store - should you wish to make the dish for yourself at home.

*And that enoki mushroom and brussels sprouts really is quite a stunner too!  -Did you get any of the fresh tofu?
