And now, I'm leaving work.

Until later.

Good Evening!

Tonight's run-thru went very well. -And I only had one conductor/operator error! WHEW!

Of course, since we move into the theatre tomorrow night for tech, it means that we'll be "losing" the show for the next few days. But I'm looking forward to having some time to take care of some final fine-tuning - figuratively and literally - in the space.

And speaking of the theatre...

Here's the link for The Sottile Theatre on the campus of the College of Charleston. *However, it seems that the website may currently be down. I'll be sure to take some pictures tomorrow - it's a beautiful space.

Well, I continued with the SCIENCE IS FICTION short films. I watched 8 more leaving four more for tomorrow plus other videos and documentaries with the set.

Matt H. · « **Reply #156 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:21:04 PM »

One of the bonus features on disc one was a 95-minute compilation of eight of the films I had watched already but this time rescored with music by Yo Le Tengo. The films already had their own scores so I felt this was unnecessary though the music was certainly different from what was originally used with the films.

Matt H. · « **Reply #157 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:22:45 PM »

After that I watched Monday night's HEROES. Overall I liked the show, but I am SO over Hiro and Ando as comedy relief, and HRG's wife just happening to be in Washington so Sylar could confuse the issue seemed very convenient.

Matt H. · « **Reply #158 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:23:45 PM »

Next I watched tonight's BONES episode. I didn't guess the killer's identity, but I did enjoy the show very much. Great chemistry with this cast.

Matt H. · « **Reply #159 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:25:25 PM »

And I concluded my evening with tonight's SOUTHLAND. Lots of characters, only about five of which we got to delve into in any meaningful way. I'm sure the others will be explored in more depth in upcoming weeks. I just hope they keep the cases close-ended. The LAST thing NBC needs right now is another serialized drama.

I just watch Wall-E again too night.

What a nice film.

They obviously couldn't come to dollar terms with Ms. Streisand for her voice and image in the Sunday Clothes number.

So there is Michael Crawford, Marianne McAndrew, Tommy Tune, Danny Lockin (his estate) the dancers and Marianne McAndrew's dubber (There were two. One for the solos and one for the group numbers.)

I wonder if the get any residuals?

Matt H. · « **Reply #161 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:41:49 PM »

I got the review copy of SIN CITY on Blu-ray late today. I won't have time to get to it tomorrow, but I guess that will be my weekend project. There are two different versions of the movie in the set (separate discs), so looks like I'll be watching it twice plus a bunch of bonus features. It comes out on the 21st, too, just like the Criterion disc I'm working on now.

Matt H. · « **Reply #162 on:** April 09, 2009, 08:44:35 PM »

I guess I'll do a little writing now and then head for bed.

Good night!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #163 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:01:33 PM »

So...

Apparently they had to "fix" a lot of the swastikas this afternoon - both on the costumes and on the set. (Spoo!)

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #164 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:04:46 PM »

And I will be getting a rental car in the morning... I think. I told them that since we're going into tech anyway this weekend, I really don't need a car until Monday... And since it's Easter weekend... Well... We'll see...

*I also discovered Charleston's "Green Taxi". They use Prius Hybrids. Best of all, they charge a flat-rate of $7.00(!!!) for travel within downtown Charleston, and only up to $20 from downtown out to Mount Pleasant. Quite a good deal.

I believe the titled of this post from Gawker explains it all.

Is that the one with the green background? It's been removed.

Good night, Laura. Good night, Jose. Good night, John Boy.

Dear Kerry. Thank you. And congratulations to your friend. Please tell her it keeps getting easier.

Good night, Kerry. Enjoy the rain they say is coming tomorrow that I am not convinced is coming.

Dear TCB Thank you

Ah, well.

If you read some of the comments, you will get the gist of it.

Sam · « **Reply #174 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:50:08 PM »

must take care of something. See ya in an hour.

Matthew · « **Reply #175 on:** April 09, 2009, 09:53:52 PM »

Holy Thursday Mass went rather well. Good Friday should be smooth, also. I'm excited as we always include "By My Side" and if I'm up to it, a version of "Gethsemane" we'll see how it goes.

Tonight I received a txt from a good friend who is a horn player and who is playing in a community production of Crazy for You. Evidently, the bass player subbed out and the sub didn't show. Quite a kerfuffle for a show which one of the major numbers is "Slap That Bass". Well, they made it through with the keyboard player doing something with a bass patch. The sub showed up at intermission. I'll get the full scoop tomorrow.

"Gethsemane"? In church? Cool!

Will you be singing it?

Just looking at my schedule for this weekend... and my remaining two weeks here in Charleston. -Wow! I guess time has flown. At least the next few days of tech will make things slow down again.

Just wanted to stop by and say how much I love the two musical releases... really! Thank you!
