Either that or  ask Obama to close down all churches in the country.

A few snaps from the restoration-in-eternal-process Loew's Jersey, with apologies for my failure to capture the richer golds and other deeper colors, especially noticeable in the shots of the lobby.  Unfortunately, because I love balconies, their balcony is closed to the public for now.  Scroll down the page to see 'em all:

One of the worst theatrical productions that I ever saw was a local production of "Little Shop of Horrors."  The Seymour and the Orin (the dentist) were pretty good, and the three street urchins weren't too bad, but the Audrey couldn't stay in tune to save her life.  The voice of Audrey II was a local politician who had actually had some vocal problems years before, so he didn't just not have a voice...he was totally wrong.  During that run, they had a special Halloween performance where if you came in costume, you could get in for half price.  A friend of mine was at that performance and he said that no one came in costume and they had all of 30 people in the audience.  The theater was the main stage of the Washington Center for the Performing Arts which has 988 seats!  30 people! 

That theater group didn't survive for very long.

Which company was that George?

I need to get ready to leave the island and return to reality.

You mean you are on Long island with Ben and Ant?

Happy Anniversary to Kismet T. Dogge. One year ago today I adopted you from an animal rescue. Thank you for your companionship and your unconditional love.

Happy Anniversary to Kismet and Mike!

Glad to hear that DR TCB's speechifying was well received.  I am sure he received generous applesauce.

I did actually ending up getting some nice applesauce; although the program was not really keyed that way.  When I got to the end of my speech / reminiscence, I announced, "That since I have finsihed talking about this old institution, now lets talk about the other old institution in town -- Sharry O"Hare.  After the roar of laughter ended, we did a little of our usual banter, and then I asked her husband, Micheal, to wheel me up the aisle.  At that point, the applesauce started.  It was very nice.

[Jane]

Very nice indeed DR TCB.

Well, it wasn't pretty, but the Seahawks won 23 to 20, in overtime.

They originally were called Puget Sound Theater Ensemble, and then at some point changed their name and concept to The Washington Shakespeare Festival.

Happy 150th!

Cool!  I just rolled over 149,000, so I'm getting close to that.

[George]

Jrand, I think the obvious answer is - The Brain from Planet X   Fun show, I've heard.

I've got a Brain you can borrow.

[George]

Well, I must be off.  I have to shower and hie myself down to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts for my first rehearsal as sound board operator for "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." 

It's going to be a very long day and I will not have very much to do, at all...but it'll be fun!

Until later!

Pool Shark!

Did you rebuckle your knickerbokers below the knee?

[singdaw]

Wow, DR ChasSmith - they don't make 'em like that anymore! Thanks for sharing those photos.

[Sam]

Well, I feel stupid.  I found 300 and some unopened emails.  Because gmail changed it's page.
So all of bk's upcoming releases are in a file called promotions.

Why would i look under something called promotions ?   But, more than half of the stuff i like goes to that file.   

So while i was feeling butt hurt that i was not on the email blast.  There they were.

 

[Sam]

A very happy late birthday to DR JohnG.

 

[Sam]

And it's hot again.  And i'm cranky from the heat. 

And have not wanted to do anything at all this weekend.

HEAT GO AWAY 

[Sam]

And in gmail the file called social is empty.

What does that mean ?

 

[Sam]

Great pictures.

Sunday evening greetings!  Richard and I had an uneventful trip to Lima and back today, but our day started with a bit of drama.

We'd had a nice visit from Rob and Mary Linda last night and, as they were leaving, I noticed Rob's glasses case and keys on the kitchen counter and reminded him to take them.  Well, this morning Richard couldn't find his keys.  We looked and looked and pieced together yesterday's events and finally surmised that I'd sent HIS keys home with Rob.  A quick text message to Rob prompted a phone call from him and it was confirmed.  Richard used my keys to his car to drive today and we're about to meet the kids at Chipotle halfway between their house and ours to retrieve Richard's keys.  Good thing a couple of other church members have keys to the church in Lima!

[Ginny]

I wonder if DR Ben and Anthony would like to visit OUR basement...

[Ginny]

Happy anniversary to DR Mike and DD Kismet!

The finale from the record-breaking performance of A Chorus Line:

Goose bumps.

I feel like Alice in Wonderland standing next to Dorothy.

Judy wasn't very tall.

The Seymour sang a half tone sharp the entire show and was, I suspect, close to forty and not nerdy in any way, shape or form.

Actually, when I was in Fort Wayne a few months ago for LOMBARD, I did try to turn the theater group onto BRAIN.

Unfortunately, they had just staged DROWSY CHAPERONE and it hadn't done well, so they were only interested in doing big name musicals in the future.  They just opened their season with LE MIZ. 

Sorry, but I did try.

Isn't everybody?
