I just found this link on FaceBook.  It's about DRJoseSPiano's niece Alexandra

Thanks for posting this.

[TCB]

So, here is the milestone post that I've seen coming for a few days now.  Thank you all for being here for the ups and downs of my life over the past 8 years 

Congratulations, Ginny!

[George]

Hi all.

Just wanted to let you know that John did pass away yesterday with Thelma at his side.  Thank you all again for the wonderful vibes.  I'm sure they helped to ease his passing.

Danise, my condolences to you and Thelma.

HOT TODAY again.....whew!

And tonight is a run through.....but without costumes.....

Without costumes!  Perhaps you should charge admission to this rehearsal!

Not if I know my cast....and I know my cast.

[Jrand74]

Congratulations to DR GINNY on her millstone.

[George]

HOT TODAY again.....whew!

And tonight is a run through.....but without costumes.....

Hopefully, they'll at least be wearing something.

[George]

Congrats on your milestone, DR Ginny!

Ditto!

TOD: When I was 7, we went to visit family in Germany. On the Fourth of July, we were in Heidelberg where the Americans set off a huge fireworks show over the castle. The beauty of that scene was made even more memorable by the addition of a couple of people somewhere in the crowd  bellowing "Ooooooooooooh," "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah," "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh," "O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-h" over and over again. Soon everyone joined in.  My Mom, my sisters and I still do that every time we're together when we see fireworks.

There was an episode of "Laverne & Shirley" where they were watching fireworks and Lenny and Squiggy were saying "Ooooooooooooh," "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah," "Ooooooooooooh," "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah," just over and over again.  It was very funny and I've been doing that ever since!

Good morning, all! It was a night of peculiar dreams, most of which I no longer remember. I remember one about sorting music on a shelf for a camera crew.

Today, I will head to Toyland, pack up half of the orchestra parts for DEAREST ENEMY and tote them off to the McGlinnventory mail room, where they will be shipped to Dublin. After that I will kill time until I head to the  2:00 matinee of ONE MAN TWO GUVNORS. I look forward to it.

DR George, I was asking about the Complete Show Boat laser disc set because it had fascinating extras. I can live with never seeng the 1951 SHOW BOAT ever again. The 1936 one is the great one.

Ahhh...maybe I should look for it.

I agree, though I'd like to see the 1929 version.

The 1929 version is quite wonderful, much more faithful to the novel.

It's strange...it's a part talkie/part silent, and there's a lot of actual silence...no music or underscoring for a goodly portion of it.

I watched "The Artist" last night.  I had pre-ordered it shortly after it won the Oscar for Best Picture/Actor/Director/Score, etc.   When it arrived last week, I was not sure I was ready to see it.

Some movies get overhyped so much that watching them is like an event that cannot live up to that hype.   I'm happy to report that this movie DID live up to its hype...primarily because it was so much more than what I'd read about it.  The two leading performances are absolutely superb.  Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejon are beyond belief, IMO.  They truly seem to be from the silent movie era.  Loved it!  Loved it! Loved it!

I'm up already.  I awoke at nine-twenty, stayed in bed and fell back asleep around ten.  Now it's almost noon.

This was a bit used even earlier on The Beverly Hillbillies...and who knows where THEY got it!!!

[Jrand74]

Well DR GEORGE - I am taking the actresses the jewelry from the vault, so they will at least be wearing THAT.

[Doug R]

We're told we can expect two months of rain in the next two days. That's good - I shouldn't need watering the plants for the next two months.

[Jrand74]

One hundred degrees.......

[Jrand74]

We need Starbuck!

[Ginny]

Thank you, DRs John G, TCB, JRand, and George!

DR Doug R - what kind of weather should Richard and I expect in January?  We'll be in London/Norwich/London.

[Jrand74]

Off to the theatre to get some stuff done.....and have EARLY scene work with some .... problem .... people.

[MBarnum]

Back from doing some more archiving of cinema material. It was so hot in the office and no-one had a key to open the windows. Three hours in such heat was the most I could take.

How interesting, DougR. I would love to know more about this archiving project.

[John G.]

One hundred degrees.......

And my thermometer says it's only 83 here now.

[George]

I'm listening to the new cast recording of Merrily We Roll Along and so far, I really like it.  Okay, I've just finished the overture, but it's good.

Well January is the coldest month with temperatures around 40F. It's rare to get snow in London or even Norwich. Could be wet though.

The Cinema Theatre Association has thousands of items of press cuttings, programmes, photographs etc, mainly sent in by members, which needs cataloging and filing. There's a lot of fascinating material which goes back decades and much had been kept by a member who died and which was passed to the archive for sorting out. A working group is also involved in research to digitilize the collection. There are loads of filing cabinets containing files for every cinema in every town and city in Britain. Sorting it all is a daunting task.

Oh, that's very helpful!  I'm looking at new coats in the L. L. Bean catalog and it looks like I'll need waterproofing more than heavy-duty warmth - thanks, DR Doug R!

I don't think there was ever a better theater poster.

Nine hours down, two more to go.
