Dear BK,
It's a good thing you don't live in Phoenix. In the summer here, people get up EARLY -- before the heat. If you don't get your yard work started before 6 a.m., it is too hot. In fact, I told the next-door-neighbor that if it's ok with her neighbor on the other side, she should have her husband/brother/SO/whoever get started at 5 a.m.

Good morning. Today is dedicated to getting an oil change. I hope it doesn't take all day. And that they don't find anything else that needs to be done.

So, last evening, Wae-Ling learned 1) the proper use of "affect" and "effect," 2) how to write a letter, and 3) how a bill becomes a law.

It is my goal to be a yeasty old broad someday, DR John.

Whatever that is.

My readings in trauma for this thesis have left me traumatized largely because some of these theorists persist in warping the meaning of affect for their own purposes and makes the reading even more aggravating.

One book is called: Empathic Vision: Affect, Trauma and Contemporary Art. Blech. Good book, but blech/belch on that title.

Wednesday. I am enjoying the cast photos and stories very much.

With my auditions coming up Sunday & Monday - I am hoping I get a great cast as well.

Fingers crossed. I have finished my Dance Breaks for the choreography section of the audition....I have chosen my audition scenes....now it just needs to happen....

Oh...well I am still refining the dance break for "Luck Be A Lady" - but it is nearly finished.

We will be having our first meeting one week from today.

BK, what is the date of LI'L ABNER? I have forgotten.

Plane tickets are so very inexpensive right now...maybe....hmmm...

My question for ASK BK DAY:

If I remember correctly, you did GUYS & DOLLS when you were a twig of a lad....what part did you play.....what is your favorite part of the show?

Oh, come on. NOBODY knows how that happens.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #46 on:** April 02, 2014, 08:36:52 AM »

Thank you DR SINGDAW....I shall soon know. The problem is of the people who I am sure will be at auditions.....about half of them should stay home....

singdaw · « **Reply #47 on:** April 02, 2014, 08:45:57 AM »

And speaking of auditions, here is what happened when the Hudson Valley (NY) Shakespeare Company held dog auditions...

I hope she especially noted the part about whomever spends the most money on lobbyists, campaign contributions, and PACs gets whatever the heck they want.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** April 02, 2014, 09:03:42 AM »

DR Jrand63, did I understand you to say that you were hoping someone's wife shows up because she plays the piano? What did that mean -- that you were looking for audition pianists, or what? Just curious.

ask bk

In the early 60's (I Think) Frank Sinatra had something like the Reprise Record Rep Company and they recorded several musicals Finian's Rainbow, Guys and Dolls, Kiss Me Kate, South Pacific.

Your opinion on them please.

I enjoy them for what they are - weird.

Ask BK:

Did the House of Pies chain have food other than pies back in the day? I want to say yes, but I'm not sure. My main one was Hollywood Blvd. & Whitley, and as many times as I was in there, I can't recall anything I had except for the pies.

I know the one you're eating at is quite a different scene, menu-wise, from the chain as I knew it, but I remember it fondly and I'm so happy they saved it from annihilation.

I'm pretty sure the one at Vermont and Franklin has always served food.

I saw the show when I was a teen, but have never been in it.

And I'm up. Barely. And exactly as predicted, this morning the neighbors stayed inside.

bk · « **Reply #56 on:** April 02, 2014, 09:10:32 AM »

I had only about five hours of sleep - much going on in the cranium.

Hmmmmm, then.....LIL ABNER is one of my most favorite musicals....saw it on stage during one of my previous LA visits (with Ms. Laurie "Queen of Outer Space" Mitchell as my date!)...never tire of it...might have to give some serious thought to coming down for your production, BK.

I still remember the fun and fond memories of coming down to see your first production of BRAIN FROM PLANET X!
