Good morning, all! Around 6:30 the anxiety attack began, and by 6:45 I was out of bed. My last dream had something to do with illustrator Edward Ardizzone, an artist whose work has never much appealed to me, and those photos of high rise construction workers lunching on steel beams hanging hundreds of feet off the ground.

So, today is an overdub day at the studio; the seven Collegians will record to the orchestra tracks everything they have to sing except for their two numbers with Jason Graae, which we will record on Tuesday evening. Jason is off today with a Lyrics & Lyricists concert at the 92nd Street Y, and he joins us on Tuesday.  We also have Jeanne Lehman, Laura Daniel, Stephen Cole, Tally Sessions, and Patrick Cummings to sing various things with them. We need to finish up the numbers with Patrick and Tally by 2:00; they have to get to a 2:00 matinee.

So, I need to run to the corner bodega to pick up lunch, some bottled water, and milk. I need coffee!  I have to be out of here in 90 minutes.

Stephen Cole, as in, composer Stephen Cole?

Well, "The House at Pooh Corner" is no more.  It's all done and I'm home...but not for long.  Tonight, Theater Artists Olympia is having a meeting to discuss our taking over The Midnight Sun performance space!!  It's a little converted storefront where TAO has performed in the past.  The space also rents out to other groups for concerts, readings, burlesque strip shows (no kidding!), so it gets used.  It's just that the current manager is just getting tired of doing it and wants out.  She would also like TAO to take over because we're a performing group and she's performed in several of our shows.  There's no way that we could do "The Rocky Horror Show" there, but HOPEFULLY, it can work out for us to finally have our own theater!

I'm watching the CBC broadcast of the closing ceremonies and right now, they're showing a hockey game.  They just showed a commercial about Canadian athletes and people celebrating the games while watching on TVs and different devices.  Well, they showed a gay couple kissing!  The whole commercial showed a LOT of various shots very quickly, and this was just one amongst the many, but it was so cool!  They were actually kissing (and not platonically )

Lovely photos from DR VIXMOM last night - congratulations on your placing and your empty pot!

Closing performance vibes for DR GEORGE.

Thanks, Jack!  It ended quite well.

Gonna be a busy day here with lots of prep. I have three auditions in the next 2 days (all of which need special material music choices), our first Kritzerland rehearsal tomorrow, a gig in Phoenix on Wednesday, and more Kritzerland singing on Thursday. Woosh! I do love it when it's busy right after a show closes though.

Have fun and someone laze about for me, will ya? 

~~~Audition Break Legs Vibes!!~~~

DR George how far from you does Margo live?  It is good she didn't have to spend the evening waiting until you could drive her home.

I personally think Native American is more appropriate than Indian which I find confusing when there is an entire country of Indians in India.  I have read that Native Americans still say Indian.

Margo only lives about six miles away from me, so it's pretty close.  And these "Indians" were definitely NOT from India, nor were they even remotely "Native Americans."  They had too much pastel and fluorescent and neon colors to be "Native Americans."

It was a nice weekend break to start until my mother's house got shot at over the weekend. Yes, in North Dakota!

Were you there?  Was there damage?  How is your mother?

I was at my mother's over the weekend to do some projects for her and wash clothes. Around 330 yesterday, we heard a pop and loud crack. Looked out the patio door and there was nothing in direction of the train tracks. Nothing on the street. However, when I went into the living room the bay window had three bullet holes from a bb gun. We were both at the table in the kitchen, she was winding a spool and I was looking something up on a laptop on a yarn site for her. She lives in Thompson, an hour north of Fargo.

Yikes!!

[George]

Well, I must be going.  I have to get ready for the meeting.

Be back later!

Thank You ALL for all the great Audition Vibes!!

I had to redo and reprint my resume today. It was two shows behind. 

Off to study. Hope you all have a great night!

Did you call the police?  I'm not sure they can do anything, however, they might find out who owns the bb gun and give a warning.

She filed a police report for insurance purposes.

I hope she has a good deductible.

VIBES THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!

Made a rhubarb-blackberry crisp this evening because I had some fruit in the freezer that needed to be used. Now, all I want to do is eat it.

It sounds good.

Yes, that's correct.  My Native friends here refer to themselves as Indian and the subcontinental Indians as East Indians.  BTW, my Native friends were (and are) fans of the Indians on "F Troop" never taking offense.  However, they did not like the Iron Eyes Cody "Keep America Beautiful" ads.  Ironically, both main Indians were portrayed by Italian-American actors.

Hear, hear for DR ELMORE!  Success vibes for DR ryacko.  Get well vibes for DR singdaw and DR Jeanne.

I agree with DR Arnold, Zsa Zsa & Charo will not be doing any columbine skit.  It's by definition a lovely flower, but by connotation it's something entirely other as everyone knows.
