Off to see the Wizard Tina - bye for now!

[John G.]

We were fortunate to have great Halloween weather last night in Salem, Oregon, 97302.

I went over to watch Cole and Harper do the trick or treat. Cole was the spitting image of Mario (the video game character) and Harper was Princess Peach (also a video game character, I believe).

What? No pix?

From DR Jennifer:

True. But it wasn't because it was too heavy. It's just she had her own bag, plus the donations box for the children's hospital. Plus she was trying to keep her tree hat on.

   That was a lot to deal with.

I'm up, I'm up.  I got just about eight hours of sleep - would have gotten another thirty minutes if the gas company person hadn't rung the doorbell at eight to upgrade or update the meter.  I did fall back asleep rather quickly.

Funny Halloween story DR Vixmom, the one about the church party not the Vixter being ill.

[Jane]

DR Jennifer I think it isn't nice of teachers to give out homework on Halloween, even older kids.  Bryan had to miss one year because the only teacher to hand out homework gave them hours of work to do.

[Jane]

Great pics of the Vixfamily!!

I love the expressions of the two looking at our lovely DR Sandra.

[Jane]

From DR George:

She also made a couple of tins filled with drink mixes (which are in Ziploc bags inside the tins).  One is of cinnamon cappuccino drink mix and the other is filled with chocolate cinnamon cappuccino drink mix.  I have to copy the instructions from the recipe book my sister got these from, print them out and notate the changes from the original recipes so that the winners know how to prepare the drinks.  Essentially, the individual ingredients are supposed to be layered in glass jars, but my sister didn't have any, but I had these tins.  So, we just mixed all the ingredients together in bags and put those in the tins.  They smelled good.

I think these will be popular.

Not much because it's a crazy few days.  Back to some good stuff tomorrow.

However, HORROR HOTEL (actually, CITY OF THE DEAD) has been in the bedroom DVD player for the last three nights -- I've tried watching it, listening to the commentary, etc., and haven't yet managed to stay awake for it.  But I really love this one, so it's still in the player.  I need to move it to the other room and enjoy it wide awake.

[Jane]

Halloween was canceled last night because of bad weather....

Rob and I were just talking about all the nearby communities that postponed last night and he said, "Trick or treating in the rain builds character!"

[Cillaliz]

Cillaliz, I would love to hear more about Ghostland Bros. I enjoy some of the songs on the album, but the whole thing seems to have been put together by people who have never been near a musical in their lives. Too much exposition and narrative. But that's the album.

Have fun.

From what I've read it's in the format of an old radio show.   I'll be curious to see it and will tell you more then

oh they have no school today. So the homework is only for next week.

If you can get the landlord to spring for the installation of "radio" meters, the utility companies will never have to ring your doorbell ever again.

[Jennifer]

Oh wow is it windy out.

[ChasSmith]

Propane installation took exactly two hours, so that much is ready for inspection on Monday, then they'll do their final hookup on Tuesday.  The electrician still has to do his installation and wiring, and that will probably happen on those days as well.  Then the final testing and inspections happen, and -- voila! -- several thousand dollars later I've got a generator!  Oy!

Where were you when the lights went out?
At the poorhouse.

This is your new "Rolf" for the NBC Sound of Music:

Maybe with this photo from today's New York Times arts section, we can get Mikey interested in ballet...

GHOSTLAND BROS was a sellout in Indiana a couple of weeks ago.....hope you enjoy it.  I couldn't afford to go!

Our utilities installed them free of charge....of course I am in Iowa

I am very excited to see it.  The Orpheum holds about 2500.  I don't think it's a sell out, but then a lot of people here wait until the last minute.   There were a number of ticket give aways on public radio, so I'm guessing there may still be tickets available.   

[Cillaliz]

They must have released some tickets today becasue there are some really good seats available via ticketmaster.  The student price is only $27.50 and the next is $46 or something like that.  It's not too bad.  The most expensive are in the $77 range

Glad to hear Emily Skinner's still with the show. She got some of the best reviews when it played Atlanta, as I recall.

[singdaw]

oh, hi!

[ryacko]

Greetings, All, and Happy November!

BK, I love the Matt Damon showing at your house. I know he's a regular Dad with 4 or 5 girls of his own. And I am not surprised at all that he was out just being a regular Dad. I'm sure it was a joy to see it in action.

I'm still disappointed not to be able to see Kritzerland this week, but the Ovations call times will prohibit even a matinee for me. 

[elmore3003]

The elevator is still out and there have no signs or sounds that anyone is working on it. I've sent an angry email to the landlord, which i doubt will get a response.

At 5:00, I'll walk down and see what the postman has left and then endure the grisly climb back up. I have the feeling the will be a really shitty weekend.

I wish we had one.

[Jane]

DR elmore VIBES they will be able to repair the elevator by Monday.  I'm guessing if it wasn't done today it won't happen over the weekend.  I'll be very happy if I'm wrong about this.
