I'm a little wistful today, because lots of librarians are making their way to southern California for the American Library Association Annual Conference in Anaheim.  Richard and I are already looking forward to next year's conference in Chicago, though.

I would have gone to that one if Keith was still working.

So how does the school edition end? I thought that being entombed alive was pretty awful. Not exactly a Disney ending.

When we moved east from So. California it was 10 1/2 years before we had air conditioning.  I thought living in the hot Southern California Valley without air was difficult, especially the summer I was pregnant.  The first summer on the East Coast I was pregnant and found out how horrible the miserable humid heat really was.

I agree. I hear they're still entombed, but in a happy way.

LOL  - DR John G.    DR Laura, it ends the same way.  Trust me, I hate the ending as much as anyone, but it's the story.  We have to believe that they are in a better place where they can be in love and no one will care.

BK:  This couple from the UK...one of which is a projectionst:  Is he a regular on FSM Messageboard?  I know one of those Brit guys at FSM is a projectionist, a film music fan, and he's a very interesting fellow.  

Sounds like QUITE the partay.  That chicken stew...did Miss Julie have any garlic in it?

Yes, it was Dave Norris.  I'm sure there was garlic in the chicken stew.

BK - Glad you met Dave Norris. He's a great character. He showed me round the projection room of the wonderful Empire cinema last year. His partner Julia who I've also had the pleasure of meeting is a very talented photographer.

Being trapped and can't get out is my recurring nightmare.

No one is in charge of the upload folder. Bruce doesn't have tech support. He has to ask one of the old designers or Web friends to empty the uploader.

Can this day get any better?

Anyone who has a woot account -- DR Sandra entered a t-shirt design contest. I surely would appreciate it if you could vote for her entry if you are so inclined.

The topic is "Lost in a Good Book"

Nick shared an article from the UK "The Independent" on Dave Norris this morning on FaceBook.  It's an interesting article about the decline of cinema "projectionists" in light of "digital" projection.

I hear they interpolate "But Alive" from APPLAUSE

It's still grisly, but it's peppy.

I find THIS rather interesting.  Well, mostly the bit about the Working cast album.

And then Cinderella's pet mice come to feed them.

It's like that great Shoestring Revue sketch that Sheldon Harnick wrote, "Medea in Disneyland" where the oracle screams at Medea that she must "liquidate your children! Are you hard of hearing, honey?"

[bk]

Finished the show order - which I hope will play well - really hard with this one.  And I'm two-thirds of the way through the liner notes and then I shall begin the next set of liner notes and the contextual commentary.

Our new AC is installed and doing a great job.  The new unit is much bigger than the old one, but much quieter.  That's good, because it sits right outside our bedroom window.  Scott and Rob have left for now to go take care of others' AC, ice machine, and commercial freezer problems.  They'll be back next week to finish up the heating part of the job and clean up the mess they've made in the basement.

I saw that. I've got the "Working" and "Madam," but I'd like to get "The Desert Song." I wish they would release the studio album of "Rose-Marie" with Julie Andrews and Giorgio Tozzi.

Yeah, but I was wishing somebody else would release it in this country. Sepia is a British label, and their versions of "Hazel Flagg" and "Make a Wish" were not great in terms of sound. There's something flat about both that is different from how vibrant they sound on vinyl. Perhaps if BK remastered them ... (Columbia Masterworks, or whatever the label is, has redone "Make a Wish" and the sound is supposed to be great, but I haven't bought it yet.)

[Ben]

Didn't know that. Thanks for the information about Sepia.

[Jrand73]

Sepia's Dorothy Provine discs were not so hot either.......

That's great news. Hopefully there's a vibe of good AC work that sweeps down to Danise.

I used to live on a sepai when I was in Hong Kong.

Yes great news DR GINNY......temperatures continue climb....and the chance of that promised rain this afternoon looks dimmer and immer.
