Good morning, DR John G.

I hope you brought us some bagels.

I was hoping the bagel delivery person would make a southern stop.

Speaking of L.A. then, now, now and then, and then and now...

Once in a while I get notices of new posts for theaters I've marked as "mine" on cinematreasures.org, and someone there just posted a link to another site with an interesting shot of the News-View (a.k.a. Ritz - or Pussycat, as I knew it to be) Theater on Hollywood Blvd. Maybe y'all have seen it, but I hadn't. Gotta love that Orange Julius.

BTW, I saved and tried to upload the photo right here, but got a message that it failed security checks!

Good Morning

I'm off to Trader Joes this morning early to get some shopping done and get to school. Today is technically my day off, but there are many things to do at school toward the end of the year, so I'll be there most of the day. Tonight is a dinner for my BFF's birthday. Looking forward to that.

Tonight is our first read through for ON GOLDEN POND. However since Norman can't be there....it will be more of an introduce yourself meeting.

Wednesday ~~morning~~ afternoon greetings! Once again, the morning got away from me. Mostly I've been playing with some of the papercrafting goodies I bought yesterday and plugging along in this month's book group selection. We're discussing Jung Chang's Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China tomorrow evening, but I doubt many will have finished it. My goal is to get the third generation (the author) born, then review the timeline, the last chapter, the epilogue, and the afterward.

Jane · « **Reply #38 on:** May 18, 2016, 09:17:43 AM »

I read this. Plugging along is a good description.

Tonight Richard and I are going to Dayton's Schuster Center for the Performing Arts for the dress rehearsal for:

The Book Collector & Carmina Burana

My friend Sharon is in the Dayton Opera Chorus and my librarian friends Sue and Stephanie are in the Dayton Philharmonic Chorus.

Yes, DRs John G and ChasSmith, attending these dress rehearsals is fun - and free! Sharon gets 2 tickets each time and we last used hers for Daughter of the Regiment and we had the tickets for Otello but skipped it because of my cough. They make the audience leave as soon as the performance is over and the theatre geek in me would really like to stay for the notes.

DR Jane, Wild Swans was originally published in 1991 and I suspect if I'd really wanted to read it, I'd have done so by now. But, as you know, being part of a book group means going along with others' choices, so here I am. I suspect the group will give the person who picked it as hard a time as they gave me for Robert Massie's Catherine the Great...

Jane · « **Reply #44 on:** May 18, 2016, 10:45:41 AM »

I chose to read Wild Swans on my own. It was ok and I finished it.

Jane · « **Reply #45 on:** May 18, 2016, 10:50:41 AM »

I was able to capture this lovely sight today as I crossed a little bridge heading out for a walk.
The photo is nicer if you click on it.

It sounds like a book I would enjoy.

It is why I asked if you read it. I'm enjoying it, so far.

Nope. I've responded to the dumb asses. Otherwise they just pass on incorrect info until it becomes fact. There are dumb asses on Facebook's Cast Recording and Forgotten Musicals who also repeat conjecture and their own wrong opinions as gospel on a regular basis.

The Director of LITTLE WOMEN now informs us that he needs to attend his daughter's dance recital this evening.....the Music/Vocal Director cannot be there until 7:30 p.m.

The Director has suggested that I run three dance numbers at 7 p.m. My ON GOLDEN POND first meeting/read thru is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.......So we shall see what we shall see.

I will ask my assistant to have the cast fill out their contact/conflicts forms and talk among themselves for 20 minutes or so.....

Or maybe I will just stay home and see what happens.

What good are facts if you can't get them wrong.

If some nice producer wants to move the show I'm all for it - unfortunately, you can't get anyone from the city or any of the other theater producers to actually get off their fat ASSES to, you know, see it.

bk · « **Reply #57 on:** May 18, 2016, 01:43:57 PM »

In order to fulfill the Indiegogo cast album thing, we're recording the show live this weekend. It's not what I ultimately want, but when I can afford it, we'll go into the studio, have the exact band I want, and I'll do it with an all-star array of folks properly.
