Night, all.

DR Jane, yes, I'm sure my friends will help me clean up. Since it's pot luck they pretty much have to if they want their dishs back

They would anyway. If I asked, they would help me set up too, but I want to do it myself. I've been to all their homes and it's time to pay them back. This isn't stressful for me, just a lot to do. I've known the people coming for 5-10 years. I'm not worried about trying to impress them, just want the house to look good, since almost all of them have never been here, and I want everyone to have fun. The only thing that is putting a wrench in the plans is the forecast for 111 heat index that day.

Tonight was interesting. One of my friends who can't make it Saturday invited me to join her, another friend who has a birthday this week, her boyfriend and the friend I was discussing before and it was her treat. She was looking forward to the 5 of us dining together. The other "friend" who wanted to bring three people to my house, showed up after being at a wine tasting with 3 other people with her. It was very ackward for a few minutes, then we all moved to a big table and the evening ended up ok. Then what really floored me is I bought a card for Mark - the other birthday. He thought it was funny so he sent it around for people to look at. One of the people the "friend" brought, signed it and passed it on! She was about the 4th person to get it and no one else signed it. She probably thought it was a group card, but I thought the whole thing was pretty rude. Of course that's the person coming to my house as the "friend"s guest on Saturday. I asked if she got my email. she said "Well you are letting me bring ONE guest" I said "Yes, I am".

Page four? I'd say we need to Pushkin right now.

Good Evening!

...And I think we're ready to open.

The friend who organized the evening asked at one point how you handle a situation like this gracefully. She said that the other "friend" totally disrupted her evening plans but she was going to be gracious about it because it wasn't the fault of the people she brought. "Friend" told them it was a big party, which it was never intended to be

Finished making CDRs for everyone. Alet just called and told me she screwed up on dates and now thinks she may not be able to do the show on August 3rd - very bad. She won't know for sure until Friday but I'm protecting us right now and will find a replacement pronto.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #129 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:27:39 PM »

Sounds great DR Jose!!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #130 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:28:43 PM »

Anyway, it just never ceases to amaze me that some people can be so rude. When she realized that she probably shouldn't have brought the people with her she just said "Oh we've been out tasting wine, we don't care about anything" sheeseh!

What's the rule when that happens - do you do the gig you committed to first, or do you take the gig that's better for you?

Great to hear that, Jose.

When I got home I put a rub on both of the pork butts. Tee hee, I just had to type that. Anyway, they are in the fridge. I wraped them tightly then read I should have wrapped them loosely, but oh well, they'll be all right. Tomorrow I'll get up early and get them started in the roaster oven. It won't heat the house up as much as the big oven does. I wish I had a table for it. I'm going to just set it on the stove when I go to work, but then I can't use the stove all day....hmmmm...may have to rethink this.

I'm not going to tell my brother I decided not to use his recipe. It's just a little too bland...but I won't say that to him

I "Liked" the link to the Kickstarter campaign and linked to the interview with BK that TCB posted. Don't know if it will help, but at least I tried

And, as has been the tradition, even though there was a block of rehearsal on the schedule for tomorrow, there will be no rehearsal. So, instead of playing rehearsal tomorrow, I will be doing laundry, getting my haircut, cleaning up, etc. -Which usually seems to be my tradition on opening nights.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #139 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:39:45 PM »

DR Cillaliz - Well... I just hope that that friend doesn't come from another wine tasting before your party.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #140 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:51:26 PM »

She'll be OK. By the time the evening was over tonight, I think she actually got it that she shouldn't have done that. Not that it will stop her in the future, but she apologized - she also said we looked at them like they were aliens when they came in, lol. We did all have a good time tonight after the initial ackward moment trying to figure out how we were going to deal with it. I'm glad I said something about my party, but I think I was more put off at the audacity of bringing a group to a small dinner gathering than I would have been to my party which is larger and was described in the invitations as casual.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #141 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:53:49 PM »

DR Jose, I'm really enjoying reading your posts about the show. It's fun to vicariously enjoy your excitement and what I'm sure will be a wonderful experience for you. Break a leg to the entire company and can't wait to hear all about opening night.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #142 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:55:22 PM »

Time for me to get my butt to bed so I can cook butt in the morning, tee hee again, sometimes I enjoy jr high humor

Cillaliz · « **Reply #143 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:56:24 PM »

Oh yeah, I have to work tomorrow too. Details, details, details......

Well...

I'm sleepy.

Goodnight.

I'm sleepy, too, but no goodnights just yet.
