That sandwich DOES look good, doesn't it?

Have any of our East Coast members heard any early buzz (good or bad) on NICE WORK?

As usual, my Kritzerland package arrived after everyone else's. Did anyone's head roll vis a vis the typos on the CD label?

No, we knew you'd be the first. Pilot error on the part of the designer and my bad for not catching it - I always assume the CD label will be correct if it's correct elsewhere - but for some reason on this one rather than cut and paste he typed it in anew - bad error and it won't be happening again. If that's the worst we're ever guilty with I see no reason for head rolling. Apparently the recent Quartet release of Casino Royale, despite much proofing, has several similar mistakes.

Picked up a couple of packages, including a Blu and Ray of The Killing - not the US version but the original Danish, which I hear is superior.

Although, I'd order half a Reuben and a bowl of beef barley soup.

The theatre company in which I have just been named their "Resident" music director - which is basically a title that comes with an email address so that patrons can contact me directly with their concerns/praises, etc... and of course, doesn't come with an extra cash... but oh well. Anyhow... they chose a season for next year (starting in September) and while it's not public yet, all I can tell you is that I see a lot of legal pink and marine green (and lots of Asian percussion) in the coming year.

And that's all I have... isn't that enough?

FJL · « **Reply #67 on:** March 17, 2012, 02:29:07 PM »

In the words of TURN THE BEAT AROUND, linked way above, Love to hear percussion.

Congrats, Matthew, on your position. Sounds like a fun season.

Congratulations, Matthew!

I am sure that your thinly veiled hints are quite obvious to the majority of the denizens at this site; however, as someone whose mind has been clouded my months of Vicodin use, I have not a clue as to what you were talking about.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Laura? I've never heard of such a thing (at least not on this side of the Atlantic). Sounds revolting

You are kidding aren't you, Doug?

P & J is very American, plus I believe their peanut butter isn't as good as our is.

Well, there was a smiley face, so I wasn't sure. And then I thought that maybe "jelly" didn't mean the same thing in England.

My first trip to New York City, when I was eighteen, coincided with St. Patrick's Day. Growing up, I had heard about the famous New York St. Patrick's Day Parade. I was so exicted to see it, and I was so disappointed that I saw it. Not my idea of a parade. I didn't see any leprechauns that day, but I saw a lot of very drunk Irishmen

That evening, I legally consumed far too many beers at Your Father's Mustache down in the Village.

Last night on JEOPARDY, Mr. Speilberg was involved with Final Jeopardy. The Final Answer was: "The film contains the direction, 'Start with the tone..... Up a full tone.... down a major third.... Now drop an octave..... Up a perfect fifth'"

At first I thought he was joking, on second thought changed my mind.

I don't think anyone delivers food out to us. I've had florist call & offer to put extra flowers in the arrangement if I pick it up.

T.O.D.

One of my Top Ten Favorite Films of all-time is CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. However, I prefer the original version of the film rather than the two or three different versions or Director's Cuts, or enhanced versions that followed it. The original version was like a religious experience for me. I dragged everyone I knew to see that film. Every time I saw the film in a theater, the entire audience sat through all of the final credits without moving.

DR TCB I am also not good at guessing games. I am not sure how many shows he was referring to in that one sentence. First thing I thought of re: Legal pink was LEGALLY BLONDE.

I hear it's one more musical to use "Someone To Watch Over Me," which has been in CRAZY FOR YOU, which is ridiculous, given the number of songs in the Gershwin catalogue. Since I believe that most of these Gershwin revisals have to do with extending copyright and greed, you'd think they'd want to get more songs into their grasp.

PB and J is also quite common here. However now that peanuts are not allowed at schools ... well my nieces have not eaten too much peanut butter. In fact they do not even recommend that kids try penut butter early in case they are allergic. My two year old niece has never even tried it. I find that crazy.
