Portland Pride was a lot of fun, particularly hanging out with my buddy Mark (who flew in from Wyoming) and my buddy Greg.

Greg, however, flaked out on us early. He spotted his ex and got all upset and depressed. His ex is a jerk and they have been split up for four years, but Greg still decided to leave us and go home.

Mark and I were a bit annoyed (since both of us traveled in order to go to Gay Pride with Greg), but we carried on, visiting gay bars, block parties, and strip clubs (male strippers, of course) in downtown Portland.

I did not meet MR. Right (not that I was even looking for him), but when I was stuffing a dollar bill down the pants of a very hunky stripper, the guy leaned down, gave me a hug and whispered in my ear asking if I was a top.

So I guess I might have met Mr. Right Now.

MBarnum, please tell Greg that nothing would please the ex more than knowing he still has control over Greg.

Laura · « **Reply #184 on:** June 20, 2011, 06:41:27 PM »

Whenever I've held onto something like that, it makes me mad to realize some jerk still can control me. So I get even by getting over it. No more jerks controlling my life.

Back from the lab. My mint print's soundtrack is a tiny bit better than the optical negative, so that's what we're going to use. It's still got distortion but we're hoping there will be workarounds, one of which the sound guy will try later this evening. If that helps, then I'll go back tomorrow and we'll test out various and sundried filters to see if we can find one setting to do the sound transfer - that's the most cost effective. If we don't then it has to go through something called Sonic, which is a lot more time-consuming, but will probably give the desired result.

The cousin couples cooked Japanese for our dinner and we had a nice quiet visit. Perry's truck now resides in our garage; they'll be back from Pittsburgh on Friday and head for GA on Saturday.

That's pretty much my day. As to the TOD, I've got the following on my reading table:
The new Annotated Pride & Prejudice
Christopher Plummer's autobiography
The new biography of my friend Vito Russo
The Terror: The Shadow of the Guillotine, France 1792-1794

DR elmore and/or other DRs - Have you come across this book?

Showtime: A History of the Broadway Musical Theater by Richard Stempel

A friend of mine is taking a college course this summer, and that will be his text book.

I tried reading this, but couldn't. I found the writing style horrible and his opinion debatable at best.

Call me old fashioned and hopelessly out of date, but could you imagine stars like Merman, Martin, Preston, Raitt or people of their ilk ever doing a Broadway Bares All benefit?

Well, the BIG stars don't take anything off. They just officiate (so to speak...)

Ethel did a disco album. I could imagine it.

Just finishing up "Gnomeo and Juliet." Cute use of Elton John music. Rest of the movie is kinda forgetable, despite some good voices: Maggie Smith, Michael Caine and more.

I was listening to the soundtrack of The Creature Wasn't Nice and I was thinking when you are successful with Kickstarter for First Nudie Musical; how about using Kickstarter to restore The Creature Wasn't Nice to your director's cut and Broderick Crawford voice for the computer>

Certainly a possibility. As some may remember, the lab that was storing the print when I licensed the film to Germany (they insisted on storing it here in LA and then never paid their bill - and no one ever called ME about it) sold the print and I would have to use the German DVD, which is letterboxed but not anamorphic - it looks great but couldn't be used for a blu-ray transfer and at this point I'm not willing to do a DVD as that market is kaput. So, I'm on the prowl for the negative or a 35mm print.

We've only had two count them two pledges today. Let's have some more so I can give a mid-pledge standing ovation. I'm starting to feel like Jerry Lewis, like doing a telethon.

I have discovered the coolest thing that I never knew existed, and BK you may want to run right out and get one, too, as it will instantly solve the wireless update problems I helped you overcome with your BD player at your home environment. There is a company called NetGear that sells these handy dandy little things called HomePlugs. You plug them into a wall outlet, put an ethernet cable into your router, and then there's another HomePlug you can take to any other room with a wall plug and you can "hard wire" any devices into your LAN with another ethernet cable. We've been using it all over the house to do firmware updates where our wireless network won't reach and it's been doing great. Highly recommended.
