We had dinner with Kevin and his California friends this evening. A good time was had by all.

Kevin will send me the picture his friend took of Kevin and me. When that arrives I will post it to verify that we actually did have dinner. We went to our favorite place, The Good Stuff Diner on 14th Street and 6th Avenue.

The photo better damn well show food being ingested.

Happy Birthday to DourR.


Is that a personal opinion?

Quite enjoying the new TV drama, LUCKY 7.

Unfortunately, it appears it will have a short life span as all reports show that after just 2 episodes it is headed toward cancellation.  :(

I hope that will also be the fate of THE GOLDBERGS and TROPHY WIFE.

I was pleasantly surprised tonight by SEAN SAVES THE WORLD tonight.  I expected it to be a little bit forced, but it was pretty well done.  Linda Lavin looks good, but do we need another oversexed senior parent.

I have always liked Michael J. Fox, and I admire him a great deal, but, so far, his new show just isn't jelling.  The characters don't seem to be the members of the same family.  Maybe that will come in time.  Since the show is on NBC, maybe they will get a little more time to work out the kinks.

I cannot remember the last time I watched a network TV show.

It's time to head to the theater!  Tonight, we have an invited audience for our dress rehearsal.  David, the sound designer, has practically (but not actually) promised that all the sound cues would be done for tonight's performance.  We'll see if they are.  If not, only a couple of things weren't done for last night's run, so no one would really be able to tell what's not there.  And he said that he wanted to embellish some existing cues, so those already do exist, but will just be added to.

Be back later!

Tonight's final dress went very well.  We had about 10 people in the audience (including the director and fight choreographer), but they enjoyed it.  The sound cues were all there and they sounded very good.  The only issues were of volume...a couple were not loud enough and one had to be turned down a bit...and one cue had to have a repeat added.  That was it.  Everything else technical went quite well.  Now, we open tomorrow!

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

There was another show several years ago about the exact same thing.  It didn't last very long at all, either.  A bunch of people won a group lottery and problems ensued...how long can that kind of concept go on?  It would be fine as a mini-series or one summer series, at the most, but I can't imagine that a full, potentially open-ended series could keep anyone interested, no matter how well it's done.

Just my 2˘.
