Since I haven't been here in a long time, I should update my animal status. Although my beloved (favorite) tuxedo cat Bailey passed away from cancer in June, in December I adopted a terrific kitty from animal control, one day before he was to be put to sleep. He's a wonderful addition to the tribe!

I had heard of Paul Ford because he's played on Mandy Patinkin's albums, and especially loved "A Handful of Keys". Mandy gives him a shout-out in the song: "Paul Ford on rag piannah...". I would always picture Mayor Shinn when I heard that!

Whew...page 30. Mission accomplished!

Paul Ford was connected to Sondheim in the 80's-90's, was the pianist in the shows of those times, etc.

All these idiots at the parties are saying it was the best Oscarcast ever. These people are really dopey.

I had to prep tomorrow morning's eBlast and test the order pages - all done and ready.

I'm thinking about more food, but...

True...they mentioned it on the broadcast. It was in the Capitol Records building.

The round building that is being turned into condos?

DR Edisaurus, I met Paul Ford ages ago when he was Mandy's accompanist in concert in York, PA.
He and I are in touch on the facewaste.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #885 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:02:31 PM »

I got in touch with him there. We are both members of the Buckhead Natives group. I'm not a BN, but joined to learn more about the history of where we now live.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #886 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:04:04 PM »

I love the Capitol Records building. Is it really being turned into condos? It would be fun to live there!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #887 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:04:42 PM »

OK, now I really am signing off. 'Night, y'all! XOX

bk · « **Reply #888 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:05:24 PM »

No the Capitol building remains, but they're building condos right next to it, big, tall buildings that will blight the landscape of Hollywood.

bk · « **Reply #889 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:05:34 PM »

I made some scrambled eggs.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #890 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:06:22 PM »

Just what they need...more condos. Feh.

Matthew · « **Reply #891 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:09:08 PM »

I'm saddened by Hollywood. The landscape and the Oscars. I'm going to bed

Ann · « **Reply #892 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:09:22 PM »

I just read through all 30 pages of the party

Ann · « **Reply #893 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:09:33 PM »

Do I get a prize?

Ann · « **Reply #894 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:10:17 PM »

Overall I was nonplussed by the evening's entertainment.

Ann · « **Reply #895 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:11:20 PM »

The opening bit was 15 minutes I'll never get back

Ann · « **Reply #896 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:12:01 PM »

Seth McFarlane was alright...I've seen better and I've seen worse

Ann · « **Reply #897 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:12:43 PM »

I'm now strongly considering seeing Life of Pi and Silver Linings Playbook

Ann · « **Reply #898 on:** February 24, 2013, 10:13:21 PM »

Dame Shirley put the rest of the singers in their place

I made a Cream Soda float, which Miss Molly wanted to share. . .
