Belated Congrats on 25000, TCB!

Thanks FJL, I hadn't paid any attention until George posted it.

I think that whole Kickstarter thing is a cool idea!

TOD: Every time I cross the border to Mexico, I marvel at how much better the Mexican food is there than in Texas. My favorite meal would have to have been with a group of friends at a restaurant in Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, called Mi Pueblito. Spectacular food and margaritas. We started with two different types of sauteed mushrooms, one in white wine, the other with ancho chiles. It was followed by a mixed grill plate with fajitas, chicken, beef ribs that looked like something prehistoric, sausages and who knows what all else. It was meant for four, but the seven of us had a hard time eating most of it. Handmade corn tortillas and guacamole on the side, plus borracho beans. And the margaritas were amazing.

Sad thing, the town has been overrun by drug lords and it's just too dangerous to go back there any more.

Interesting. I've never liked Tex-Mex. I lik the Sonoran Mexican food the best

I love Mexican food. I don't like it too spicy, which is why I don't like Tex-Mex and New Mexican food

I do recommend (and I don't do it that often) that you search out COMPANY on the big screen. I believe Sunday is the last day to see. It's a lot better than the version where the cast played their own instruments a few years back.

When you have members from the New York Philharmonic backing you during a concert version, well... O hope it would be better.

*I actually liked the Esparza/Doyle Company. Alas, I don't think the video of the production did it justice.

**And I believe the DVD for "Company in Concert" will be released just in time for Christmas and Hannukah.

I've been thinking about going to it tomorrow. It's playing at the theater in town I don't have a pass to, wouldn't ya know, lol

Ride With Larry, the doc that will be made this coming week about my friend Larry who has had Parkinson's for 20 years and is riding his bike across South Dakota, did fundraising on Kickstarter. They met their goal and I think it really helped them

Hello, DR TCB! I was watching a dreadful 60s horror film, The She Beast, and now I'm watching Peter Ustinov in Thirteen for Dinner with Lee Horsley and Faye Dunaway.

I have an unfurnished unaffordable place available.

A bit far from OHSU & Portland, most of all unfinished. There is that doggy door though.

JMK · « **Reply #103 on:** June 18, 2011, 03:59:43 PM »

You are kidding, aren't you? Almost everyone who applied works at OHSU--it's about 3 minutes from the Hamilton house. And 5 minutes from the house to downtown Portland.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** June 18, 2011, 04:03:25 PM »

I remembered it as farther away from Bryan's place. If only it were a little house with furniture....

All went well.

Good to hear Druxy.

Jane · « **Reply #107 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:09:50 PM »

Craig went to the library for me and picked up four books I had on hold. Of course the first one I want to read is the heaviest, by far, to hold. I think I shall begin with the little book before reading the big one.

Druxy · « **Reply #108 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:19:27 PM »

It is 106 here in Austin.

Back from everything. First of all, I did get the motor car washed, so that was good - and literally ninety minutes later the gray day disappeared and it was ninety degrees.

bk · « **Reply #111 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:37:27 PM »

The signing was really fun - maybe my fave of all of them. We had about twenty-five people, including some folks I didn't know at all. I read a bit, I answered questions, we had CAKE, I signed (we not only sold the new book, but also the first book in the series and a Benjamin Kritzer even). Of the folks I knew, in attendance were cousin Dee Dee (sans her ever-lovin' Alan, whose back was bothering him - when my back bothers me I tell it to go take a hike and bother someone else), The Singer and her mother, the thirteen-year-old and her folks, dear reader Sam, looking very svelte, Adriana's biggest fan, Miranda, her parents and her friend. someone I went to high school with, film score aficionados Neil Bulk (he's done some work for Kritzerland) and Henry Stanny, our very own Doug Haverty, Illona Simon-Mueller and her ever-lovin' Steven, and our very own Amy and Mark. I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, and then there were the folks I didn't know at all.

bk · « **Reply #112 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:38:41 PM »

Afterwards, Sam, Mark, Amy, and I, in honor of today's topic, went to Don Cuco's, where I ate a rather large meal, but it's all I'm eating today.

bk · « **Reply #113 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:38:56 PM »

Then I picked up one package and an important envelope.

Haven't had any Kickstarter pledges since this morning. I hope we haven't stalled, although I know a few people who are doing it this week.

Is Aunt Jo your mom's sister?

Yes, DR Laura, Aunt Jo was about 10 years younger than my Mom, but if you'd seen them side by side you'd have thought the opposite.

It's the scotch I tell you.

More truth than fiction, there, DR TCB!

Ginny · « **Reply #116 on:** June 18, 2011, 06:30:14 PM »

We are back from a just-right, short & sweet, memorial service for my Aunt Jo. In addition to the 12 family members, there were several of her neighbors and several of my Mom's friends in attendance. One of Perry's college friends drove in from Pittsburgh, surprising everyone. He's staying the night at the same hotel where the others are and joined us for dinner at the Houston Inn, a popular restaurant not far from the retirement community. My mother held up pretty well, but she's awfully tired. Everyone's going in different directions tomorrow - Richard and me to Lima, my sister's family to play golf, cousins and wives to (I hope) have a little fun.

Do any DRs have any questions for BK's close personal friend Nick Redman, whom I will be interviewing tomorrow?

I have a few

1) He did a restoration on the soundtrack of The Sound Of Music and found a recording Julie Andrews singing "A Bell's Not A Bell Till You Ring It" Where was it supposed to go and why hasn't ever been released (at least to my knowledge) on cd?

2) The cd release of Hello Dolly is minus the Main Titles, "Call On Dolly" "The Waiter's Gallop" exit music etc and shortened versions of Dancing, Put On Your Sunday Clothes etc. Is there a reason why these are not on the cd?

2A) Also at one point in Put On Your Sunday Clothes a woman's is heard singing over the chorus (I don't think it's Streisand.) It happens as they are dancing at the train station and just before the train whistle is heard. The lyrics is "Beneath your bowler brim/The world's a simple song" l was wondering who it is

3) Will STAR! ever make it to Blu Ray?

Ginny · « **Reply #118 on:** June 18, 2011, 06:36:54 PM »

When I was stretched out in my new recliner earlier, the phone rang and I grumbled all the way to answering it. My grumbling soon turned to delight when I answered it and it was my Uncle Bill - Aunt Jo's ex-husband - calling from Pittsburgh. We'd lost touch when they divorced before Richard and I were married and reconnected at Perry and Jessica's wedding in 2008. He seemed genuinely concerned for everyone here and it was great to talk to him. The cousins are going to visit him next week before coming back here to retrieve the last of the furniture and heading back to Georgia.
