The food was amazing wth a huge cocktail hour to start and Viennese hour to finish

I know what a cocktail hour is, but what is a Viennese hour?

 A Viennese hour is where they have a selection of desserts and aperitifs. For the desserts they had at least 30 different types of cakes, cannoli so, crime bruises,

Crime bruises? When people get mugged afterwards in the parking lot? Or maybe some of the guests fighting over the last of the desserts.

I fear my day -- nay, my week -- will never live up to vixmom's posts.

What the HELL?  Did someone die and get whisked off to an eater's Paradise, or what?

I wish John G was along to give a better description. The reality far surpassed my poor attempts to report

Oh, I think we got the gist of it. A HUGE amount of food!

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up.  I was up for some unknown reason at eight-thirty for two hours but then fell back asleep until one.  Now I'm up for real.

 A Viennese hour is where they have a selection of desserts and aperitifs. For the desserts they had at least 30 different types of cakes, cannoli so, crime bruises, brownies, napoleons,  cream puffs, eclaires, chocolate pudding, jellies, rice pudding, ice cream, tiramisu, fresh fruit, a chocolate fountain, two or three types of ice cream and all the toppings you can imagine, waffles with fresh piped whipped cream and fresh fruit, and I know I am forgetting tons of things

A chocolate fountain? I don't think I've ever heard of one. Is that a fountain made of chocolate or a fountain flowing with chocolate?

John G, where are you?

We've already been contacted by one theater who had a show fall through, but I'm not raising money for the show, and that's what would have to happen.  But she called because the buzz from the folks who've seen it has been so incredible.  I know what would be optimal and we're meeting about it this week.  Send excellent vibes and xylophones about that.  But when every show is pretty much sold out, something that never happens these days at LACC, that's really saying something.  I already miss the show and especially the entire company including the tech folks.

Oh my goodness!  That sounds incredible!  AND incredibly expensive!

The Long Island economy is alive and well. Several new car dealers just reported an uptick in sales. Customers came in talking about this big wedding they've been catering and how they're treating themselves to a new car. One couple said they need a vacation to recuperate from all their hard work. The wedding venue reported plans for yet another expansion. The tux rental place wasn't so happy. "Bunch of cheapskates!"

Today was our second annual day of service at church.... I was in charge of the clothing drive my team and I sorted and bagged 45 large trash size bags of clothes

Were these JRand's?

[Jeanne]

The person running that activity shared this story:

A woman came over wheeling a shopping cart with five bags filled to the brimmed with canned goods she said I only came in for butter... Took her lb of butter and lefts the rest for the food drive!!

So Vixmom isn't the only one eating well this weekend.

[Jeanne]

Vibes for "Act II" of LA NOW AND THEN.

Were you thinking about a theater about the same size as LACC's? It's less than 99 isn't it?

[Jeanne]

Glad to hear you'll be directing more shows there, Bruce.

I learned at the last minute that Richard's neighbor wanted to attend. Richard's been walking her dog because she's recovering from knee surgery. When he told her where he was going, she said she wanted to come, too. Richard said she can't really walk around on it yet, though. So, maybe next time. She's the daughter of John Payne and Olivia de Havilland.

Just to clarify... They did NOT have "crime bruises". They did have creme brûlée  (which in my opinion was the better choice)

[Jennifer]

I think chocolate fountains are fairly common. They flow with chocolate and you can dip strawberries or fruit in them. yummy.

John G, where are you?

It is a fountain running with melted chocolate.  The have fondu sticks and cut up fruit, angel food cake , marshmallows etc and you put you choice a fondue stick no stick it in the fountain to chocolate coat your treat

[Jennifer]

The weather here has warmed up a lot. It is supposed to be around 27C this whole week (which is in the 80s). Yippee for summer!

This GUYS & DOLLS overture is a bitch! Lotta notes.

Sorry if I've been out to lunch on this, but what are you doing with it?

Editing the new editions of it and How to Succeed In Business without Really Trying.

I knew it was in the works for some time but it all just came to fruition in the past week.

[elmore3003]

It's a job! Finally!

What's really nice about it is that the person who had applied for the restorations/reconstructions then asked me to edit because he wants to learn from me.  I like mentoring, and i would have done it for nothing, but the payments a nice bonus.

Bike ride done!

[George]

Well, since we're so close...
