[Dan (the Man)]

taking it off

Cue the stripper music!

Oohhh... It's my birthday... And there's a stripper too?

Yep!  What time do you want me there?

[Dan (the Man)]

And now...

I believe I'm off to Central Park and MoMA and maybe even The Highline... Wherever my feet and unlimited MetroCard end up taking me.

Laters...

I read about that Highline park in the paper today, Jose.

And there was a report last night on The NBC Evening News.

[DERBRUCER]

Should this be posted on the entrance page to HHW?

Let's hear it for Effluvium!

Someone on the FINIAN'S RAINBOW staff is tweeting about the show and provided this clip this morning.  My gosh!  Cheyenne Jackson's voice is wonderful!  Listening to it, I couldn't help but think of John Raitt in his prime.  I can't wait to hear more!

Very nice! 

[DERBRUCER]

Now I'm looking forward to puttering and roasting a chicken...

Don't you mean "buttering" - or do you knock the bird around the golf green before putting it in the oven.

And that's before he gets there!  Imagine tomorrow's headlines!

Didn't you watch yesterday's cable TV clips about the sex shows being performed for Highline viewers from local hotel windows?

Sounds like George had a really good audition - and I'll only remind that if it should transpire that he is in the ensemble, those roles are all fun and have a lot to do throughout the show.

I don't doubt that at all.  I certainly just want to be in the show.

ChiChi the Chihuahua-Mix Named Hero Pet of the Year
by Helena Sung


As a puppy, ChiChi was rescued from abusive owners. Years later, at the ripe old age of 13, the Chihuahua-mix returned the favor by saving the lives of two elderly women in danger of drowning at a beach. This month, ChiChi was voted Reader's Digest Hero Pet of the Year.

Before he became a hero, ChiChi had been living with cruel owners who thought it entertaining to beat, kick, and throw the little dog out of a moving car. Mary and Rick Lane's niece Heather saved the pup and soon moved in with her aunt and uncle in Greensboro, North Carolina, while attending a nearby college. …
…
Last October, Mary, Rick, and ChiChi were enjoying a day at Indian Beach on North Carolina's Outer Banks. The Lanes set up a blanket and umbrella for their dog, tying his leash to the beach chair they brought for him because, "He doesn't like to lie on the sand," explains Mary. The three sat in a row on their beach chairs, the Lanes reading and ChiChi dozing.

It was late morning when the Lanes heard a little boy in the water shouting, "Help! Help!" Alarmed, the Lanes looked up, but the boy was only joking. The boy played this frightening trick several more times, and each time, the Lanes looked up worriedly. But ChiChi didn't stir.

As the day turned to dusk, the beach emptied. Deeply engrossed in their books, they didn't notice two women in the water.

Suddenly, ChiChi leapt out of his chair and started barking furiously. "He was whirling in circles, dragging the chair behind him and making a sound we'd never heard before," Mary recalls to Paw Nation. "It was very sharp, loud, and fast. He seemed panicked and was almost twirling on his leash."

Startled, Mary looked up. "A hundred yards down the beach, in the surf, I could see two women," she says. "They were struggling. One was on her back with her head in the surf and the other woman was trying to support her head."
…
"Thank you for rescuing us," the woman gasped, explaining that she had just had knee surgery and would not have been able to right herself and crawl up the sloping wall of sand to shore.

"It wasn't us, it was the dog," Mary replied. "He's the one who told us you were in trouble." Had ChiChi not alerted them, the women would likely have washed out to sea. "There was a riptide," Mary says. "And as far as you could see in either direction, there wasn't one human being on the whole beach."

Mary cannot explain how ChiChi knew something was wrong -- remember, the pup didn't look up earlier in the day when the little boy cried wolf -- but he sounded an alarm when the two elderly women, who hadn't made a sound, were struggling in the surf.

"I think ChiChi has some sort of sense that we don't have. It's the only answer," says Mary. "In all the pet stories I've ever read, the animals were always saving someone they know, like their family or friend. ChiChi wasn't. He was saving strangers. I didn't know I had a dog who could do such a thing."

ChiChi meanwhile, had jumped back onto his beach chair and fallen asleep during the dramatic rescue. When the elderly women tried to pet him, he growled. "He's a funny little dog," says Mary, laughing. "He'll save your life, but you can't pet him."

On a sad note...Ellie Greenwich, 'Chapel of Love' co-writer, dies.

Hi George, if you're in the show, I'll see you next year.  Promise. 

Cool!  If I'm in the show...I hope I don't disappoint anyone!

You won't disappoint us, we will be disappointed for you.  Vibes we are all happy!

WELCOME WAWNYC!  Do you have any pets?

Looks good.

Thanks for this clip, DR Dan. I love this score, and I can't think of a more enticing reason to come to NYC than to hear Cheyenne sing "Old Devil Moon," the sexiest love song ever.

[Jane]

Cillaliz-

Tell Samantha to hang in there. I'm sure she will feel much better when she gets into a routine and meets new friends,

Also tell Samantha that she definitely has friends at HHW. We are Family.
Which means Samantha should return to this site and join in the fun.

DITTO! 

New moves take time.  I consider myself a bit of an expert on this.

[Jane]

I must now work on my lines....I now have lovely dark brown hair, what there is of it.  It is most disconcerting to see a stranger in the mirror.

You might get use to it & decide to keep it. 

[Jane]

Don't know if I mentioned it, but tonight I go to my first meeting as a member of the board of a local nonprofit that's mission is to save historic buildings in town.  We have a rich architectural history here and there are many buildings that have been saved over the years.   I'm really looking forward to being a part of this group.  

I wish you much success on the board, and a great group of people to work with.

I spun through my iPod and found that I had months ago downloaded an ootlegbay of an Encores performance and I've been listening to it this afternoon.  What I think I really love about this production is that the vocals are all so dead-on.  The performers are singing what was written without any modern day riffing, Streisanding, American Yodeling or any histrionics of any kind.  It's a cliche to say it, but this is what's meant to have faith in the material.

I hate to think what's in store for us in BYE BYE BIRDIE in comparison...

And where IS edisaurus? 

Just busy with projects, she'll be back.

I had time to watch the last two episode of DOLLHOUSE season one. The penultimate episode continued to feature Alan Tudyk as Alpha in a wonderful performance. I really loved that show.

[Matt H.]

I was equally disappointed and disturbed by the season finale. I didn't really get it (though it was great to see Zack/Scut Farcus from A CHRISTMAS STORY now all grown up and a total hunk) but I didn't take the time to listen to the audio commentary to hear their justification for what they were doing. Since I have/had no plans to watch DOLLHOUSE in the upcoming season, I didn't care.
