It's raining in Tumwater.

[George]

And my third load of laundry is in the wash.

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.

WONDERFUL!

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.

Excellent news

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, 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?

a fountain flowing with chocolate goodness.

Many vibes for LA Now and Then, BK and company.

Starting to watch Macbeth. The beginning is wonderful and different. It features Lord and Lady at the funeral of their child with Banquo and his son watching as are the three witches. Then we switch to a battle scene in slow-motion, while the witches and the Macbeths' child watch. Very brutal.

Two years ago a childhood friend of Keith's had a bone marrow transplant.  Today the friend and his family went to Poland to meet the donor, and his family, in person.  They had an emotional meeting at the airport. 

After a quick stop to settle into the hotel, our friend and his family went to the donors house were they were served awesome appetizers (that they thought was their dinner), then an AMAZING home made dinner, followed by and a  cake with our friend's picture on it.  For the grand finale... they had a firework show in front of their house.

All that after saving the guys life-nice people

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

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.

Excellent vibes and xylophones!

Payment is very nice

I found some nice videos of flowing chocolate fountains, except they were all adds for how to make one.

[FJL]

And yet more L.A.  NOW AND THEN vibes!!!

Excellent news, Elmore, on the Loesser work.

The cocktail hour was huge there was one table with all Italian ant pasta items including a fresh mozzarella that was being stretched and double and cut to order...a seafood table with shrink, scallops, mussels, crablegs, a pasta table with rigatoni in a pink sauce  and I g forget the other items....

I didn't know that shrink was in season at this time of year.

TCB, you asked me if I ever mistype a word on a regular basis. I do. It's "insurnace" and I, of course, work for a company that sells insurance.

Hmmm, let me check with Freud.

Well, Michael Fassbinder and Marion Cotillard are fine Macbeths and the visual staging is interesting, if somewhat Hollywoodish (cathedrals lit with hundreds of candles on all kinds of nonsensical levels far above the actors' heads  and not part of chandeliers). But the pacing of this movie is deadly slow.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[Kerry]

Bruce, congratulations on a successful run and for breaking all the legs.

[bk]

Has anyone spoken to or heard from Singdaw?  I find this long an absence absolutely peculiar.

[bk]

Back from a not very good cabaret show.

[bk]

Failed for all the usual reasons, but you'd never know that thanks to a room filled with nothing but friends and family, although I was at my usual front table with the parents of the performer and all three front tables just applauded as they should, unlike the rest of the tables with their cheerleading and woo-hooing relentlessly.

I saw this early this year.  I didn't care for it...for the most part.  You can go HERE to read what I wrote about it.

That would make them shrink-wrapped.
