I have to make a trip up to NY to lock the film sometime soon, before THE CLOSER cranks up. I wonder how late in the year the City Bakery sells hot chocolate?

The City Bakery Hot Chocolate is available year-round.  -And they introduce an "Iced Hot Chocolate" usually starting in mid-April.

It's a sunny but chilly day here. I hope to spend a little time continuing my spring cleaning of the yard and garden. I got a lot done yesterday but am kind of sore from pulling weeds---which I call my pull-out-ese exercises.

I've been reading the reviews for Twyla Tharp's latest Broadway "show", Come Fly With Me, and even thought some of them seem like raves, I still can't tell if the reviewers actually thought it was an actual show, or just an amped up stage version of "Dancing with the Stars"?

I have a friend who is involved with it, Charlie Pignone. I wanted to see it when it was here in Atlanta but never got around to it.

I don't understand why they called it "Come Fly Away" instead of "Come Fly With Me". Guess they couldn't get the rights? It was called "Come Fly With Me" in Atlanta... ???

Oh... That's right, it is now called "Come Fly Away".  -From what I understand, part of the reason of the title change was to make it more generic on purpose, and, in turns, more inviting.  Apparently, some audience members were expecting a full-on Frank Sinatra impersonation evening, not a dance piece set to the original Frank Sinatra vocals - with a live band.

*I just have to wonder just how "deep" the audio back-up system is for those original vocals.  Although, I think I heard that there is an "emergency male vocalist" on stand-by just in case - in addition to the female vocalist who sings some of the songs, and sometimes with 'Ol Blue Eyes.

...And I guess I could just check the Playbill that's sitting just a few feet from me...

Favorite artists: Bosch, Breugel, Van Gogh, Monet

I've seen a lot of work by the last two. We're having a Monet exhibit in Atlanta right now but I haven't made it there, even though it's right down the street!

Well, I'll leave the lights off at the house and will be in a dark theater watching movies....does that count?

They finally found an actor to play CAPTAIN AMERICA. When I met with the producer in LA, this seemed to be their biggest obstacle. They couldn't find a young actor with the right "build"...it's too popular to be skinny.

Looks like Chris Evans is very qualified!    ;)

I like lots of different art. I now like more abstract art although I never used to.  I collect local artists and people I know.  I have about 10-12 different paintings by locals.  I love all of them and it's fun to collect the works of people I know

When we interviewed Johnny Mercer's daughter, we videotaped some of his watercolors that she had on her walls. Thanks to shooting in HD, I was able to blow up a frame and have a very nice Johnny Mercer watercolor of my very own!

Johnny did a watercolor of Sandy Koufax that I used in our baseball film.

DR Laura said last night that there's too much talk about TV and movies.

Actually, that was what drew me here in the old days.   HainesHisWay used to be primarily about such things.    Now, for me, there's "too little" talk about entertainment issues.   Many -- most? -- aren't interested in such things at all.   Usually, when I attempt to start -- or "steer" -- a discussion,  it is met with a resounding absence of interest.  I later may find that someone did, eventually, see it and comment upon it, but by that time I was on FaceBook engaged in a round or two of Mafia Wars...in short,  spending my time in a way that interests me at the time.  It will, of course, pass. 

And no, TCB , Facebook in and of itself isn't very interesting or entertaining unless you are engaged in some game or other in which many other people  are also actively engaged.  In Mafia Wars, for instance, I have a "personal" mafia of 650 players....all of which were added one-by-one to help me grow and increase my strength in the game.  And the stronger I am, the more useful I am to other players who have different numbers of people in their mafias.  It's interesting, it's fun and it's not at all judgmental about how I spend my time there....nor does it care if I visit other sites.

 ;)

TOD - I've been a fan of Mark Tobey ever since seeing his abstract painting, "Broadway Melody," in the University of Michigan Museum of Art when I was an undergraduate.  He and I share a Dec. 11 birthday; I was born on his 60th birthday.

I also like Charley Harper, a beloved Ohio stylized wildlife artist.  About a year ago, Richard and I attended an exhibit of needlepoint adaptations of his work that were exquisite.

BK,

This is probably old news to everybody else, but I just discovered where the "Guy Haines" name (probably) originated.

It's Farley Granger's character's name in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.

 ;D

Did Farley ever sue?

Hello, everyone.

I've had a very busy last several weeks. I've lost one day each week to dental work. Yesterday should have been a relatively easy day procedurewise, but I came home and fell right to sleep. This is becoming the norm. I'm taking a break from it for a few weeks, then will try to finish it up.  It needed to be done, though, and it'll soon be history.

Re the post count:

Bruce, I know the post count is important to you, but for those of us who come here to chat or learn or just enjoy the amusement, I don't think it matters. From my viewpoint, another hundred posts a day doesn't make it a better site or a more entertaining one. And I think we learned that there are a few people who we don't want here. This site isn't for everyone; it's a select group, but it usually works pretty well.
