Well, you've read the notes, the notes mused, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they, too have a muse but they call it a MOOS.

ATELIER

A fancy-schmancy way of saying "I"ll tell ya"??

bk, it's great that you've got such sage advice for your writing projects.

A very warm HHW Welcome to our newest DR, Basil! Glad that you found your way here, and looking forward to getting to know you better.

Morning all.

I survived my first day back at work. I have a presentation tomorrow morning at 9:30. The same dog and pony show we did last year so it's not anything new. I have a small pile of work which came in while I was gone.

I will be seeing Nine with a friend this evening. I don't know how I will react. I am of the opinion that the original stage version was amazing and beautiful. I don't get the sense from the clips I've seen that this will be the case in the movie theatre.

Good morning, all! And a special hello to our new DR Basil! It's fantastic that we've acquired three new DRs in the past two months and I'm very happy that all three have shown up.

This morning, I was lying in bed thinking about what I hoped to accomplish on Jonathan Gealt's show this morning and it hit me: after a long hiatus, I am back to the McGlinnventory today. So, I'll be downtown until noon and when I get back I'll finish up the bass parts and proceed to the drums.

BK, I'm glad the book is going well. I hope you're moving the deleted portions of the text to another folder and holding onto them for the book that deals with yucky personal history in fictional or nonfictional form. And I guess this is my lead-in to the TOD.

I still want to write my history of BABES IN TOYLAND from 1902-2000, and I'm still intrigued by DR Jose's suggestion for a book on musical theatre although I've read and agreed, and disagreed, with so many texts on the form's origins, developments. Maybe I shold write a book tearing down those I disagree with and praising those wherein I agree. And then there's the long-awaited memoirs. Hmm . . .

DR Ben, you've got me! I'm here.

Would any DR be interested in a Jan 16 ticket to a Symphony Space concert of Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE in which my friend Jesse Cromer is singing Papageno? I cannot go and I'm bummed about it.

And now DR Ben has gone. So much for pledges of non-abandonment!

Good morning! I expected to sleep in later since I've been going to bed late and getting up so early every day since I've been here, but I guess I'm on a routine. And this is later than I've gotten to sleep in. I may snooze a bit more though, I feel so tired after going through this whole process and battling very opinionated people. It will ultimately make the film better but it's very draining.

Welcome to brand new DR Basil! Glad you've arrived to spice things up! (Although I know you're an herb...)

TOD: If I could write, I would write a book about Calypso music.

I often hear that I should write a book about the making of the last, not-to-be-named documentary.

Ben · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2010, 04:52:32 AM »

Sorry to have missed you Larry! The top of the board doesn't always show who is here or not since when I was here around 7:35 the top of the board said I was still alone!

Greetings, Amy. I hope you're enjoying your time in New York.

Hi, Ben!

I'm looking forward to having a day just to hang. DR Jose is going to meet me for breakfast and then we're going to check out the big tree and a few store windows and wind up in Chelsea. I have a feeling Madelines will be consumed at some point. A great way to spend a day before diving back into intensive editing tomorrow!

I would love to write a book about the Broadway theatres from the time Broadway was 14th Street up to the present day and include as many pictures of the old theatres and locations as possible. It might be a coffee table book or it might be a multi-volume book.

Or I might write a biography of

Julian Eltinge

It's a bit cold for it, but Jose may take you on the High Line!

Ben · « **Reply #20 on:** January 05, 2010, 04:58:50 AM »

and then you could have hot chocolate at Chelsea Market

Greg and I already did the highline a few days ago, when it was colder and windier. We'd been looking forward to going the next time we were in NY, and since this WAS the next time...

It was very cold but we were glad we went!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2010, 05:15:11 AM »

I wouldn't be opposed to hot chocolate at some point, either! I wonder if Jose would know where you can get hot chocolate in this town...hmmm...I just wonder...

TOD:

Hmmm...not exactly sure about this one. I know that in the past five years or so, I've become fascinated with the New York performing arts community of the 1950's. It was a very exciting time, with the rise of off- and off-off Broadway venues and the emergence of new playwrights and lots of work available for actors through theatre and television. There was a growing middle class that was starting to attend theatre, ballet and classical concerts regularly. And even though this was the age of McCarthyism, this new audience was approachable (if not totally embracing) to new and radical ideas and approaches presented on stage and in concert halls. I think I would have loved living at that time. If I could find the proper hook, I think I would also love to research and write about it.

Maybe I'll write a book on macaroons. Or cranberries!

If they asked me, I could write a book.
