And I am home from a real surprise party.  There were twelve of us and it was three hours of fun. I am very tired and I'm heading for bed.

The shunt they placed in his liver duct had to be replaced.  Hopefully he can go home again tomorrow.

Sigh.  Continued vibes for him.

I am icing my knee which seems to be swollen.  All day it has been progressingly worse. I hope I can walk ok tomorrow.

I kind of dropped/tripped down a high curb yesterday, uncomfortable but not a big deal.  I suspect it is slowly becoming a big deal.

For dear reader Jane - both Murder at the Hollywood Division and Patrick Bronstein Presents are now on Nook.  Will she read them?

Sandy is back in the hospital today.
The shunt they placed in his liver duct had to be replaced.  Hopefully he can go home again tomorrow.

I think my biggest problem with Daniels was that he refused to be nominated in the Featured Category for 1776 - and so his ego cost him a Tony......and as the years went by, he could have been introduced as Tony Winner William Daniels....

It didn't seem to bother Tom Bosley who won featured actor for a TITLE role.

I think Daniels' problem was that Ron Holgate, who won the Tony for playing Richard Henry Lee, was also nominated in the same category. Daniels really should have been nominated as best actor.  Several years later, Rita Moreno won best supporting actress for THE RITZ, and she  should have been up for best actress.  As she said in her acceptance speech, all I support in this show are my earrings.

Isn't it up to the producers of any production to request a change in the Tony category based on billing?  If they're name is above the title, they are automatically considered as lead actor/actress, but if they're below the title, they're considered as supporting.

I remember when Joel Grey was first playing Amos in "Chicago" (which is definitely a supporting role), he wasn't nominated at all because (if I remember correctly) the producers just forgot to petition the Tony nominating committee to consider him for supporting role, even though his name was above the title.

Final seven days of the campaign and we will do whatever it takes to fund the damn thing to its full potential.  Do we have any Broadway window card lovers here?  Because I've got a few goodies:

Shine It On and The Act - the two wonderful posters for The Act - the old title and the new and with new credits for the folks who were let go between these two posters. They're wonderful and I think they'd go as a pair. Suggest a price - if I like it I'll put it up and you can go right there and buy it.
Amadeus - original run and signed by Ian McKelland and Tim Curry.
On the Town - Donna McKechnie, Bernadette Peters revival
Applause Lauren Bacall
The Apple Tree - original production
Pacific Overtures original
Rags Original

I would love (and would be afraid) to know what you'd ask for Amadeus and Pacific Overtures.
