Quote from: ChasSmith on January 03, 2013, 06:15:04 AMRe BARNUM (note: not the DR)... I was surprised, too, that a high school would tackle this, but apparently it isn't all that uncommon, including the tightrope. They're going to build the already large stage out over the orchestra pit area (orchestra's on stage for this) which will give them a great space for the circus venue.I rememeber that Joe Layton and David Mitchell originally wanted to have Dale sail off in a hotair balloon from the stage and up over the audience at the end of the first act, but scrapped that idea because the insurance would have been astronomical. I don't think that would have impressed me as much as the tightwalk walk.

We worked together in retail almost 20 years ago.He now works as a biology teacher and football coach, which normally would mean we'd have absolutley nothing in common to talk about. Still, it should be fun to catch-up.Maybe he can pimp out a football player for you and you can pretend the kid is 75 years old.

Thursday evening greetings from Russell Square! Our 7:30 flight finally left Newark at 11pm last night. The delay actually worked in our favor, hotel-wise. If we'd arrived on time at 7am we would have had a lot more time before our room was ready. As it turned out, we checked our luggage at the hotel and just had time for lunch and a look at our immediate surroundings. Naps and showers later, we're at Starbucks for wi-fi, which costs an arm and a leg at the hotel.

Finished with my viewing - Looper - the first forty minutes gave me a big headache trying to figure out just who was doing what to whom and why, but once it kind of became clear (in its way) then it was enjoyable on a certain level.
Major health vibes to Sherlock's doggie brother Boz. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT is so cold here. With windchill it is something like -22C (which is like -7F). Freaking cold. Brrrr.
All of this discussion about BARNUM is making me feel so special.I am ignoring the fact that it is not about me.
We flew last night with several 20-somethings who were very impressed with themselves because they were on their way to England for graduate study. Wouldn't they be surprised to learn that this gray-haired couple is here for the same reason?
