Is anybody watching Downton Abbey's finale tonight?
I am

Me too, though I've already seen it on the DVD. Before Downton, the Maryland PBS stations are showing "BAFTA Celebrates Downton Abbey." It's not on the DC PBS station so I'm not sure if it's on others.

I did noticed that they cut two songs, "It's Bad Luck to Say Good Luck on Op'ning Night" (they just had one line about how you're supposed to wish someone bad luck), and "Betrayed." The courtroom scene was very short. I don't know if it's because the understudy for Max was on, or if they're just cut from the show. I'd heard a couple of people say that it was their 99th performance, and the first for the Max understudy, and that tonight, their 100th show, is their last. This tour will now be over.

Their tour maybe over, but not before they do a Sunday matinee in Tacoma today.

Yes, Tacoma was to be their last performance after last night in Olympia.

It's too bad they cut Betrayed!

As TCB predicted a few months ago, I'm going to Germany. I'm leaving tomorrow for Dusseldorf, then taking a train to Oberhausen to see Phantom of the Opera, in German.

KevinH · « **Reply #96 on:** March 06, 2016, 04:45:57 PM »

Yes, Mr. BB is playing the Phantom. My friend from the Netherlands is joining me to see the show on Wednesday. Of course, I'll probably see it more than once!

That's pretty cool, Kevin!

Be back later.

Elmore, do you have a smartphone? I deposit all my checks using my phone. You take a photo of the front and back, and the bank deposits it on that basis. If you do that, then the bank has to have the photo, because it won't deposit the money unless it can read both sides.

I didn't know checks can be deposited that way.

I have too, too many books checked out from the library.

I am off to read

ChasSmith · « **Reply #108 on:** March 06, 2016, 07:38:54 PM »

Back from closing night, and from a fine cast partay at a local tavern called, appropriately, The Tavern.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #109 on:** March 06, 2016, 07:39:24 PM »

Where a very fine burger was had.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #110 on:** March 06, 2016, 07:39:59 PM »

As was a fine Manhattan.

And I am ready to hit an early sack.

Looking forward to a fine ME day tomorrow.

Isn't there also a per transaction charge? I don't know how much it would be, but that's what I wouldn't like about the "convenience."

Nope. Not with my bank.

Since I don't get TV, I'll have to watch Downton tomorrow. I'm watching Sicario right now. It's good, butt not great, and it could certainly stand to lose 10 minutes or more. Emily Blunt is the best thing about it.

Are souvenir books of interest to anyone out there? I'm thinking of making a perk for some that I have, some of which are somewhat rare. I have no idea what these things go for, however - I'd put together a grouping or two, I suppose. Here's what I've got - Gypsy (Merman - Klugman was gone, Alice Playten is in it), Carnival (Anna Maria Alberghetti, Ed Ames, JoAnne Worley), Seesaw (Lucie and John Gavin and Tommy), Ben Franklin in Paris (Preston), West Side Story (Larry Kert, Sonya Wilde), Fanny (LA Civic Light Opera, Italo Tajo, Claude Dauphin, Dorett Morrow and - Van Dyke Parks!), Guys and Dolls (Allan Jones, Jan Clayton, Pamela Britton), Timbuktu (Eartha Kitt - ticket stub included, also a flyer), Carnival in Flanders (Dolores Gray, John Raitt pre-B'way when Bretaigne Windust and Jack Cole were still with the show), The Most Happy Fella (Weede, Sullivan, Lund - review from a San Francisco paper inside), Carrie (Buckley, Hately), The Music Man (Preston, Cook, Burns, Kelton and the rest of the originals), Bye Bye Birdie (1st national with Elaine Dunn, Bill Hayes, Jessie Pearson, Joan Blondell), Call Me Madam (Stritch, Kent Smith, Pat Harrington - San Francisco review laid in), Little Me (Caesar), On a Clear Day (Harris, Cullum). Anyone have any good ideas on pricing or best way to perk these, let me know ASAP.

I have also started cleaning up this office room, which is a horror. It'll take ages to get it all sorted out, but maybe I can just get parts of it clean soobner than later.

bk · « **Reply #117 on:** March 06, 2016, 08:46:46 PM »

Holy smokes, some of these go for hundreds of dollars on eBay. Who knew? So, there are sixteen here - what do you think a fair group price would be for all sixteen or two groups of eight and eight. For example, on eBay there are several flop musical programs from around the same time as Ben Franklin in Paris that are going for $150 or so. I want to make this attractive for the Indiegogo campaign.

bk · « **Reply #118 on:** March 06, 2016, 09:11:06 PM »

Someone suggested I look at actual sold items on eBay so I did. A few flops not as interesting as Carnival of Flanders or Timbuktu went for over $100. A Gypsy souvenir book same as mine went for $65. I'm thinking of maybe an average price of $15 or $20 - I saw nothing that sold for under 20 on eBay and they were nothing like these. What do you think?

I just watched THE MARTIAN.

Moral of the movie: knowledge of science can help out in all sorts of unexpected ways.
