So,

Broadway Danny Rose.

Love it. An exceptionally interesting role for Woody Allen, but as always (especially in those years), everyone excels.

This is obviously the one (maybe there are others?) that put the Carnegie Deli squarely on Woody's map. The first several minutes with the comics are incredible. Later there's the prolonged introduction of Mia Farrow's character which simply has to be seen to be believed.

The location shots in Manhattan and across the Hudson in NJ have to rank among Gordon Willis' best -- realistic and memorable, gritty and wonderful. And they always left you wanting more While I was living in California, I'd see movies like this and want to get back and explore NYC in the worst way. Watching this now has brought that, and so much more, back to mind.

Well, another full day ahead of me, so I'd best get started.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #34 on:** April 20, 2014, 09:04:48 AM »

Soon, anyway.

Another cup of coffee first wouldn't hurt.

Happy Easter!

And for Easter, here's my favorite Peep show: Sunday in the Park with Peeps!

Today I have to finish "programming" (I use the term loosely) HAIRSPRAY. Unfortunately, the process of dumping my settings to laptop via MIDI and loading them onto the same model keyboard at the site, has gone all to hell. Something is causing the data to land in a corrupted state, and while I'll eventually determine which thing is the culprit, I just can't spend any more time on that now. So I have to finish up here and I'll shlep my own damned keyboard to play at tomorrow evening's rehearsal, then bring theirs home with me and manually duplicate the programing on Tuesday. It's not a terribly long job since I've already done the hard part, but on top of all the trial-and-error I've been through with this data corruption problem, it's just drudge work that needs to be gotten through.

At any rate, thus begins Hell Week.

During last night's Great Vigil service, during the reading of the Gospel, the priest rendered "St. Peter" as "St. Peeper."

Sounds like a fun sedar. Is it common for people in LA to have a sedar during Passover but not on the first two nights? I've only heard of having them on the first two nights.

I thought of BK again this morning when the renters across the street brought their party out to the front yard at 3 a.m.

Did you go outside? I think 3 or 4 am is unacceptable. In BK's case it bothered him but at least it was 9am or so.

I couldn't believe that I saw a police car this morning (on Easter) trying to catch people speeding/not stopping properly at a stop sign. I always see them sitting there. But I feel horrible for anyone getting a ticket today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #42 on:** April 20, 2014, 10:49:57 AM »

Nice kerning game.

Up till a few few years ago, I'd never heard of the word. Now there are a couple of web sites (not this one) in which I always seem to notice bad kerning, and it's finally in my vocabulary.

back from two Easter services - the first I served as assisting minister, the Vixter was an acolyte and we had the brass band, the full adult choir, the string choir and the bell choir. We all processed in and out and I had to give "mission minute"

the second service I just had to do the mission minute so I hung out in the back until it was my turn - the second service was the same groups except with the children's choir and the service was bilingual

both services were lovely

Took me a couple to get the hang of it, then I scored 100 on two or three of them (even though my placements were still just slightly off from the ideal), and 71 overall.

I guess these days, though, you can't really trust just any old news report on the Innerwebs.

I'm up after a wonderful night's beauty sleep, which I really needed.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** April 20, 2014, 11:17:22 AM »

Upped my score to 85!

But that's all for now. If they used different words I might try again sometime, but they're the same ten.

TCB - they didn't have an understudy? That would have been a great lesson on the importance of understudies.

Last month I got an email from our local theater that the next day's performance was canceled because of an injury to a cast member. I was stunned that there was no understudy.

Nope. No understudies. Since this is a youth theater / school they would probably have to double cast the show, so that the understudy could be given an equal number of performances. Community theaters never have understudies either.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** April 20, 2014, 11:34:12 AM »

Only at the high school I work with have they ever double-cast a couple of roles, for reasons I never figured out. They had two Marias in a West Side Story several years ago, and two Gavroches in one of their Les Mizes (which they've done twice -- oy!).

ChasSmith · « **Reply #57 on:** April 20, 2014, 11:35:15 AM »

None of the multitude of community theater productions I've known over the years have had understudies.

Edit: Actually, make that "HAS had understudies", since "none" is, of course, singular. Shame on me.

Good morning, all! Last night was not a good night for me. I tried a new prescription for Ropinerole, and it did nothing to calm the shooting pains in my left ankle and the throbbing in the ball of my right foot. I am assuming this means that all of my nerve problems are the result of the lower back discs, and not restless leg syndrome. So after suffering this madness for about 2 hours, around 1:15am, I took a flexerill, which calmed things down and I finally got to sleep sometime after 2:00.

I have work here: some orchestration, some writing, and DVD catchup. Easter has never been the favorite holiday of this lapsed protestant, although I am listening to Bach's Easter Oratorio at the moment and perhaps I'll listen to Handel's Messiah next.

DR Jane, nice DC photos.

DR TCB, sorry to hear about the show. How old are the young actors?

The girl who was injured is the oldest of the four March sisters in the show. She is 19. The next oldest is 17, the next is 12, and the youngest is either 8 or 9.
