Six!

[Jrand74]

Get me out of the G/D HELL!!!

Only 12 more days, and it will be over!

[ChasSmith]

Good evening.  Back home, and hopefully ready for the satisfying night's sleep I didn't quite achieve last night.

[John G.]

Pleasant dreams vibes for all.

I am watching a repeat of the Celtic Thunder special HERITAGE.  It has been several years since I have seen it.  This is one of the shows that still had elmore's friend, Paul Byrom.

[TCB]

Paul is as nice to look at as he is to hear.

Today has been a day.  I've not had time to log in to HHW at all.  Just as I got to work, I had to go into a hiring committee meeting to replace one of the selectors who retired last week.  Last week, we had to read through and evaluate 22 different applications and decide who were the best of the bunch.  We narrowed it down to eight, who will get first-round Skype interviews.

[George]

After those, which (hopefully) will happen either June 11th or the 18th, then we'll cull them down to however many will have live interviews.  The applicants will have to get themselves to Tumwater for the live interviews.  After that, hopefully we'll have a new selector of adult fiction, audio/visuals, and foreign language fiction. 

[George]

After the committee meeting, I had to speak with a couple of people and each of those impromptu meetings took almost a couple more hours.  Then, I went to lunch, then I actually started MY work.  And now, I'm home.

[George]

I must ketchup on all the posts, but I REALLY can't stay up too late.  Tomorrow, four of us are going to a workshop in Seattle and we have to meet at 7:00 am to get to Seattle in time.  SEVEN IN THE FREAKIN' MORNING?!?!  WHAT WAS I THINKING??  I'm sure that I'll get up and get to work, but I must ketchup quickly.

[George]

Congrats to BK and cast to the latest Kritzerland Success!!

TOD - Words, Words, Words

Maltby & Shire's crossword puzzle song
Rodger's & Hart's I Could Write a Book
The Book Report from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Etc...

There's a song called "Words, Words, Words" in both Candide and The Witches of Eastwick (different songs, of course).

[George]

And I am home from Dr Vong's office. I go back on July 2. He had no answers, just continue the physical therapy and tell my dermatologist next week about several issues he has.

I need a job.

~~~All Kinds of Vibes for DR Elmore!!~~~

Topic of the Day:
How about a "One-Hit Wonders" show, spotlighting composers who only struck Broadway gold a single time?

What about individual great songs from otherwise crappy shows or scores?

[George]

The City of Seattle has approved a minimum wage raise to $15.00 an hour.  I think that is too much, too soon.

I'd read that it'll become the highest minimum wage in the country.  But it will eventually go up to $15/hour over several years, not all at once.

A new Web site with show music available for purchase/download

BwayTunes.Com

I just look quickly at the splash page.

But what is this difference from buying here than from ITunes, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, CDBaby, Krtizerland or any of the other websites that have music of this kind?

Duh! It's like a digital Show Music division of a record store. My friend Andy Propst, who's behind this, wrote:
On some levels, it feels to me like it might serve the purpose of letting a new
generation digitally experience the sort of thrill that many of us had when
we'd go into a record store and simply be able to flip through bins to see
what looks 'interesting.'

I was thinking the exact same thing.  It's all theater-related material and all on one website.  I like that idea.

[George]

Topic of the Day #1:  How about songs from the musicals that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama?

Topic of the Day #2:  How about an evening of Meltz and Ernest?

[George]

And now, I MUST go to sleep NOW if I want to get enough sleep before I MUST get up in time to get to work by 7:00 am...at the absolute latest. 

I hate early mornings.

[George]

Good night, all.

I know, George, but our current state minimum wage is already two dollars more than the national

Yes , George, for large businesses over a period of three years.  But our state minimum wage is already two dollars more than the Federal level.  Why not raise the minimum by $2.00 more?  Why raise it by $5.00?r. That means a starting wage of $2,400.00 a month!

[TCB]

I wish I. Understood more about internet service providers.  I am currently paying almost $180.00 a month for a bundled plan with Centurylink.  That is just crazy.

I'm with Time Warner for Internet - less than sixty a month.
