Did a two-mile jog, proofed, and had some lunch.  No packages, even though there are several that are guaranteed for delivery today.

DR Jose, I will most likely get one ticket for the dress rehearsal; that's been the practice in the past. My only complaint with the City Center - not Encores! - distribution is that the ones who work on the show end up with the lousiest seats since the good ones are set aside for donors, etc. Since I'm giving them my best work at a discount and it's a big 50% discount on this production because I wanted to help Josh out, my feeling is that all of us working on the production deserve better treatment.
.

DR elmore - No worries. Hopefully, City Center and Encores! will coordinate their comp policy for their staff members - especially since this production is running for two weeks instead of one.

Next Tuesday will be kind of a crazy day for me already. I fly back from Memphis that morning, and then go right into auditions for The Music Man, and then... I may just need to sit down for a nice relaxing dinner.


Oh, Jose, I forgot to tell you that I decided not to audition forTommy Djilas.  It is just too long a drive for rehearsals.

LOL!

More hassles today. From what I consider a friendly front. Oy!

That is hardly fair.  Michael gets those cute whatever they are singing to him; and Tom gets some 60 year old hooker singing badly.

Oy, did I have a weird dream, one that would crash JR's machine.  :)  It's way too convoluted to go into detail over, but suffice it to say a major part entailed Betsy morphing into Debra Messing (no, I'm not kidding), and then me telling Debra I was leaving her.  That was just the beginning.  :)

My mother has been popping up in a lot of my dreams over the last couple of weeks.  I imagine it is because she was killed in January.

Good Afternoon!

It appears today's Spring-like weather has lent an air of confusion to things in the City today.

Or maybe I just need some coffee.

T.O.D.

Red Skelton, Harpo Marx, Totie Fields, Burns and Allen, and The Three Stooges.

We always watched The Red Skelton Show, because I loved his comedy and because my mom liked to see / hear her friend Art Gilmore.

I will say the funniest night club act I ever saw was Buddy Hackett. 

I actually got to see The Three Stooges in person.  Naturally, by the time I saw them it was Curly Joe (Joe DeRita), but it is still a great memory.

Didn't I read somewhere that there is a new movie about the Three Stooges?  I actually thought the TV-bio was well done.

Oh, I was wrong.  It is not a bio of the Three Stooges, it is a new Stooges movie with Sean Hayes playing Larry.
