Interesting stats: For the House Of Flowers eBlast, of the close to 1800 people on the Kritzerland list exactly 788 have bothered to actually open the e-mail.  I find that so weird - the people on the list have either asked to be there or have purchased other soundtracks or B'way-related CDs from us, and the header clearly states that the e-mail has info about a new CD release, so it's a little peculiar.  We do get the usual "out of office" or "on vacation" replies, but those aren't very many.

And that's been consistent from release to release - only about fifty-one percent open the e-mail.

For LACCTAA events it's a complete joke - of our four hundred LACCTAA eBlast names, seventeen percent actually open the e-mail.  And I just want to say one thing about all that: Mr. Kimmel has a very long memory.

I finished packing this morning, and then headed out for a bit to run some pre-trip errands.  My train doesn't leave until 4:00, so I still have a few hours to "edit" my luggage and to draw up my list of "Chicago possibilities".  I do know that I will be spending a few hours at the Art Institute of Chicago. Other than that, I'm basically playing it by ear.  I'll be staying with my friend, David, and he's mentioned a few places he'd like to show me.  It also looks like there will be a mini-Theatre-VCU reunion on Saturday or Sunday.  :)

TOD:    Ethel Barrymore's double-take when Jean Harlow, in "Dinner at Eight", said she had been reading a book.

That's Marie Dressler, not Ethel Barrymore.


They were both matronly....I thought "Dressler" but figured "Barrymore" was classier.  Win some, lose some.

Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year

[Alan Swann has blundered into the wrong restroom]
Lil: This is for ladies only!
Alan Swann: [unzipping fly] So is *this*, ma'am, but every now and then I have to run a little water through it.

My favorite line from "My Favorite Year" is when Alan Swan is in an absolute panic when he finally realizes that the show that he's agreed to guest star in is going to be broadcast live with NO retakes:  "I'm not an actor, I'm a MOVIE STAR!"

This just in - confirmed case of Swine Flu in the elementary school in our town.

There was a news report just this morning that a school in the Seattle area is closing until next week because of 6 probable cases of swine flu.

Have a great trip, DR Jose, and scope out some things Richard and I can put on our "to-do" list for when we're in Chicago in July for ALA!  Your train doesn't go through Fort Wayne, Indiana, does it?  I should be there by 7pm or so!

That is some of the most reprehensible reportage I've ever read.   What else is new?

And now, I must shower, get dressed, go to the county courthouse and pay my property taxes, then go to work.

Have a good day, all!

Thanks, DR Ginny.  Alas, I don't think the Lake Shore Limited goes through Ft. Wayne, IN, however...

"The Lake Shore Limited travels daily between Chicago and New York City, along some of the country's prettiest shorelines.

You'll travel along the south shore of Lake Michigan, the Mohawk River, and the Erie Canal, following a famous Native American Highway. In New York State, you'll pass through the Finger Lakes region to Albany, capital of the Empire State."


-Of course, most of the trip takes place during the overnight hours. When it's dark, so... ;) But, still, it should be pretty.

Speaking of restorations, Mr. Larry Moore, did you have anything to do with restoring Robert Russell Bennett's original orchestrations for

The King and I

which will be playing at Lyric Stages in Irving, TX?

During commercial breaks on last night's "Lost":

Does anyone know what to make of those strange commercials that showed a small insert video on a black background of (1st commercial) a wedding, (2nd commercial) a surfer and (3rd commercial) school kids exiting a school followed by the words "What did you just see?"  (or something like that) ??

My husband will be home from Long Island some time this afternoon. I went to Trader Joe's at lunch to buy some groceries.

I don't know yet what we will have for dinner.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I will do the laundry tonight. Isn't that exciting.

I haven't checked the interwebs (yet), but I'm guessing it's for the next J.J. Abrams feature.

My Microsoft Outlook has an email "preview" feature.  You can read the contents of an email without actually double-clicking and "opening" it.  I wonder how that registers in bk's statistics??

Additionally, if someone reads an email on their Blackberry, iPhone, etc., depending how they have their mailboxes set-up, the email may have been read, but not read through their main email client.  I know with my GMail account, if I read something on my computer, it will still show up as "new" on my iPhone. And vice versa.

As far as no-shows go, I cannot tell you how many times people who had set up appointments for job interviews (a governement job, a couple of law offices, a behaviral health company, a retail store) wopuld not show up.  I thought I was dealing with adults.  If someone bothers to call, ask about a job and set  up an appointment to come in for the next day, why wouldn't they show up?  It used to be joke no matter which type of job or which company I was working for that I would schedule 10 people, and I'd be lucky if 1 or 2 would actually show up.   I cannot imagine not showing up for a scheduled appointment.
