I would like to see SISTER ACT and SPAMALOT. And maybe THE ADDAMS FAMILY. Hopefully I will be doing a show in the same slot as MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.

I hope you will be, too, TCB!

And perhaps you, as well.

Did you know that pug is directing DRACULA at Tacoma Little Theatre?

We'll just have to wait and see.

I had heard that. I'll want to see it.

Well, time to see if I can fall asleep

Good night, George.

Good night, Tom.

Have a good day, all.

Good morning, all.

I'm going over LATE to the book sale.

The hell with 'em. Just didn't have it in me to get up early to fight for parking and have to stand in a long line.

I'll go late and it will be a nicer experience browsing what the early hordes didn't scarf up.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #41 on:** July 09, 2016, 05:24:50 AM »

After that I'm going to hie me to a Barnes and Noble to scarf up some Criterions that have been released but so far ignored by me in the past few months.

And if I go to the one I think I'm going to, I shall treat myself to lunch at Shake Shack on a gift card I was given last year.

It's been WAY too long since Shake Shack and I have enjoyed each other's delightful company.

TOD:

French and Caesar

I was lucky enough to see Jack Albertson and Sam Levene in THE SUNSHINE BOYS at the Shubert in Los Angeles. Fantastic!

Years later I saw an Equity waiver production with Brian Keith and Howard Morris. Terrible.

I thought the Matthau/Burns movie was okay, but the TV version they did later with Peter Falk and Woody Allen wasn't.

I love the play.

TOD:

Best Caesar dressing I ever had was at a restaurant in a building across West St. (which I really still insist on calling the West Side Highway) from the twin towers. That was in the mid-1990s and I haven't had one to rival it since.

Second best was, oddly enough, at a friend's wedding reception.

I don't recall other "best of"s at restaurants, except for whatever they made the chopped salad with at the La Scala cafe (not the formal restaurant but their lunchtime place, I forget exactly what they called it) on Little Santa Monica in Beverly Hills in the late 1970s). I'd love to be able to recreate that salad.

Store bought:

Favorite thousand island is Ken's Steak House brand.
Favorite oil and vinegar: Newman's Own.
Favorite ranch: Hidden Valley.
Favorite russian (the red kind): Wish Bone.

Interesting how we come up with such favorites. I think part of it is long held associations. Nevertheless, those are what I go for every time.

Good morning, all! I slept in, then showered, and here I am. I'm pondering today's events beyond the Guys & Dolls work.

I like EYE-talian dressing - but since I'm a cretin from Indiana, I have only ever had it from a bottle......

DR TCB, not only is the stage version of Mary Poppins darker, but it makes no dramatic sense, and there are a lot of issues brought up that never go anywhere. I still wonder how long Mr Banks is unemployed. He isn't rehired by the bank until that loan he made makes the investor wealthy; did it take six months, six years, six days?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** July 09, 2016, 06:50:01 AM »

And I'm still here.

I only know BUDDY: THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY from the London Cast CD, which I think is terrific....the music is all hits from Buddy, so I guess it's sort of a jukebox musical....but i love the CD.

Of course, you have to find a real BUDDY or you're in trouble. And the musical says Buddy records on Decca....which is NOT TRUE....his records were all on a Decca subsidiary called Coral Records...

That poor library sale. Whatever are they doing without me?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** July 09, 2016, 06:51:32 AM »

But I shall get there soon. Like, within the hour.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** July 09, 2016, 06:54:32 AM »

Now that we've had a Tish Tash day, I wonder when we'll have a Pish Tosh one.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #54 on:** July 09, 2016, 06:55:08 AM »

Hey, it's food for thought. And a post.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 09, 2016, 06:57:18 AM »

Of course I'm not sure I would enjoy being in an audience that is encouraged to act like participants in a rock and roll concert......

DR CHAS SMITH the book you're looking for is being handled by riffraff right now.

I know, DR Jrand65. I know. It's horrible.

I just checked the schedules. The next two Saturdays are also not-miss book sales for me, and both are a little better than this one for things I like to see. The final big one of the summer season is Labor Day weekend.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #59 on:** July 09, 2016, 07:27:29 AM »

Okay, I'm finally off now. The next thing anyone says to me will be said to my horse's ass.

Later!
