Glad the show went well.

BK, hopefully you can eat something today. Maybe soda crackers. White rice. Toast.

[Ben]

I had oatmeal, raisins, pecans and cinnamon and black coffee.

[Ben]

Yes, it raineth hereth in Manhattaneth noweth.

[Ben]

[Ben]

And noweth, I musteth getteth backeth to worketh.

Congrats on the successful show, BK.

Congrats to BK on what sounds like an absolutely perfect, stupendous show.  I wish I could turn the TV on and catch it On Demand.

Bone marrow broth - sounds almost as appetizing as haggis!

Poached eggs and toast are usually a very good way to ease oneself back into regular eating.  Always loved that as a kid, and hell, it sounds really good right about now.

But here's a question.  What is it about poached eggs that makes us feel that way?  It seems like a very carefully made over-easy or over-medium egg is just as gentle and nice.  At least they are the way I tend to them, resulting in their being delicate and lovely, done just "enough".

Though I'm a voracious meat eater, I, too, limit myself to the standard cuts.  No brains, tongue, head, feet, innards, for me.  That kinda gal spins webs--  wait, sorry, wrong number.  And though I like a lot of seafood, including lox on a bagel and the basic kinds of sushi (it's a great carrier for soy sauce, wasabi and ginger, if nothing else!), no raw oysters or lobster innards or other too-weird things from the sea.

I could still probably enjoy a well prepared liver with bacon and onions meal, though it's been years since I've had it.  And chopped chicken liver on a bagel is an essential food group.  But I've grown way out of my childhood liking for the plate of "chicken gizzards and hearts" (with gravy, mashed potatoes, etc.) at the "nice" Sunday-dinner type restaurant we were taken to now and then in Columbus in the late '50s.  Oy!

A fried egg has grease to irritate the digestive system.

Hey, folks --

LITTLE ME at Encores!  Trumpet 4 part recreated by our own DR Elmore.

Has anyone decided anything?  If not, I'm going to grab a ticket for the Sunday matinee, February 9th, 2:00 PM.  I'm going to be cheap and grab one of the remaining first row balcony seats, just off center, unless someone says those aren't good for any reason.  Or if Saturday would REALLY work better for people, but there's already less to choose from.

I think we must needs decide this, like, today, before the few remaining decent seats are gone.

[FJL]

Congrats on the successful show, BK!

Tickets just went on sale this morning, so in case anyone has a spare 30 minutes for a one-act musical:

If you can't see Larry Kramer's THE NORMAL HEART, or even if you can - come see
I NEVER MISS A LARRY KRAMER MUSICAL

Come see:  A divine musical parody one-on-one!
Part of John Chatterton's Midwinter Madness Short Play Festival, featuring widely diverse examples of the one-act 30-to-60-minute play
form.

"I NEVER MISS A LARRY KRAMER MUSICAL, A Parody Chat with Bette Midler"
Has Been Invited To Be Part of John Chatterton’s MIDWINTER MADNESS SHORT PLAY FESTIVAL
Roy Arias Stage II – 300 West 43rd Street – 4th Floor
New York City, at 43rd Street near 8th Avenue

Three Performances – FEBRUARY 25 – MARCH 1 & 2
Tuesday February 25 – 5:45 pm - our first performance after a quick tech time, so it should be exciting - anything can happen!

A parody written by Fred Landau       

Milla Ilieva (who has an album on Kritzerland) plays the Divine Miss M - more casting coming soon!

Directed by Michael Joseph Ormond (showing a totally different side after his great success with The Crucible last fall)

This 30-minute mini-musical takes place on the morning that Bette inexplicably and unaccountably did not get a Tony nomination.
The one-act piece is 30 minutes from the time we start.   A unique blend of parody with divine-Miss-M tribute.

TICKET INFO FROM ovationtix is on my blog http://music-and-comedy.blogspot.com/

Sounds very good DR FJL.  But I will have to wait until it goes on the road.

[Jrand74]

Thanks to all for the rehearsal vibes.  Things went very well.  My lines weren't as secure as I wanted them to be....but they were better than some....so there is some work to do there.....

The director sent out an email this morning that said no evening rehearsal tonight, there is just class today from 12:30 until 5 p.m......he talked to me about coming in at six to work with my scene partner, so I am not sure it that is still happening.  I guess I will get an email if it is.

My BIG scene is the opening scene of Act Two.......my scene partner is Oley (pronounced in the Swedish way...NOT the Spanish way).

[FJL]

Sounds very good DR FJL.  But I will have to wait until it goes on the road.

Well, we do do a take on "One for My Baby, and One More for the Road." 

[Jrand74]

Loved reading about the benefit.....what a great evening! 

I like SILENT auctions....although I guess you can raise more during a LIVE auction.....

Nice.

I just wrote an opening for the choral medley for 8-12 alarm clocks.  I think it will get a laugh.

It makes me laugh just reading about it.

[Jrand74]

LOL that makes me laugh, too, DR FJL.

[singdaw]

Congratulations on your production, DR FJL.

[FJL]

Thanks so much, Jrand! 

Hoping it goes over (although it can't go over 30 minutes!).  The director has been great so far, and Milla is already her terrific self, even with just starting the process last Wednesday.

[FJL]

Congratulations on your production, DR FJL.

Thanks, singdaw!
