Sticker shock!

I've been invited to appear at a couple of horror conventions: one in Seattle late this month, and the other in Burbank in late October.

So, yesterday I started checking air fares...and they have virtually doubled from what they were a few months ago. Fuel prices, I assume.

To fly from Austin to Seattle and back, it costs close to $1000...and, there's a plane change.

I told the Seattle people "Maybe next year".

Los Angeles and Burbank are around the same price, about $500+.

I'll hold off on my decision on that one for 2-3 months; see what happens.

$:-\$

Did anyone else read the AP article this morning on the 5 idiots who were arrested for attempting to blow up the bridge in Cleveland? It lists the first three and then states the FBI has determined they were anarchists. Then the article goes on for a while, and then finally lists the other two and says "it wasn't immediately clear if they were anarchists." That made me LOL.

And thanks for sharing the poster for the upcoming production of Herringbone?

Didn't they do the show in Indianapolis many years ago?

Dear friend Maureen, who will be here for my birthday celebration, played Golde in much of the most recent national tour opposite Mr. Bikel's Tevye.

Jrand - Skip thanks you for the alert about the Indianapolis production of HERRINGBONE. Sending invoice for royalties as I type. (Just kidding.

)

FJL · « **Reply #48 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:27:12 AM »

Thanks for the birthday wishes and cake (cyber-cake is perfect for my diet) to Kerry, and to Jennifer, and to Ginny (yes, hope to see you on this trip though I may not be there that night, Skip naturally will be), and to Arnold Brockman

(more in next post)

Trying to keep posts numbers up on my birthday

FJL · « **Reply #51 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:30:38 AM »

Question (maybe for the TOD?)

I've found that I can actually use all-frequent-flyer miles to go to L.A. on Memorial Day weekend if - and only if - I travel on off-times.

Since I don't drive, I'm told the smartest thing to do is to choose a hotel near the airport and use that as a base.

Does that sound logical?

Ginny · « **Reply #52 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:32:49 AM »

I've been catching up on paperwork and emails. Sheesh, being away 3 extended weekends out of 4 last month sure contributed to my backlog!

FJL · « **Reply #53 on:** May 02, 2012, 08:34:54 AM »

Ginny - thanks also for the Facebook post. I'm confused on how to thank you there, so I'll thank you here.

If I had lived in Los Angeles in the 1960s I think I would have been to the theatre every day!

Jrand75 · « **Reply #57 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:05:05 AM »

Well it's not listed in their production history DR FJL......so I must be thinking of a different one-man show......I AM getting old.

Matthew · « **Reply #58 on:** May 02, 2012, 09:05:26 AM »

Hello, goodbye
