Sunday was a big HHW day: BK finished "the latest book," which I'm looking forward to, DR Ginny continues to terrorize Georgia, and DR TCB is back in rehearsal.

Monday morning greetings! Today's my last conference day and it's a bit more leisurely than Saturday and Sunday. Just going to wander the exhibit hall until it's time to find a seat to hear the closing speaker - Neil Patrick Harris!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #34 on:** January 23, 2017, 06:32:43 AM »

DR Ginny, has anyone addressed the possibility that this new presidential Christian right administration may encourage banning books?

Had a bizarre dream that I was attending an environmental production of a non musical version of Zorba, except there was no Zorba or any mention of Zorba. I got bored and asked if we were in one of those stupid productions in which we were supposed to be our own Zorba. As they were hemming and hawing their answers, I woke up.

I don't like getting bored with my own dreams.

Ava Gardner wasn't in THE BANDWAGON.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2017, 08:25:01 AM »

That I know of.

She plays herself at the beginning. It's a walk-on. She's also blond. Very memorable. To me.

Yes, Fred Astaire gets off the train and greets reporters he assume are there for him...then Ava gets off and they rush toward her.

Easy to forget about in the long run, but a very amusing/bittersweet moment.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #42 on:** January 23, 2017, 09:04:38 AM »

I concur with the films of Ava Gardner already mentioned, but I would be remiss if I didn't add two personal favorites:

Pandora and the Flying Dutchman
55 Days at Peking

I'm up, I'm up - not sure how much sleep I got but probably seven hours.

I have a jury summons for today.

I didn't have to attend the 9 a.m. roll call, but I have to call in at 11 a.m. to see if I'll be needed for the afternoon roll call.

Now I shall be on my way to Staples to Xerox.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #46 on:** January 23, 2017, 09:34:29 AM »

Ah yes.....the appearing as herself moment. I had forgotten about that....

BK

Ever thought of bringing your files on an USB drive to Staples and having them print out from that so that way you don't have to print a copy for them print from and you wouldn't have to rush back home to print missing pages?

Once the book is finished, yes, I always bring a PDF on a flash drive. Until that time, I print out the pages here because I want a copy next to me as I go - and so I just print out and bring there - easier that way rather than making a PDF every time, which you have to do with Word docs as every computer and printer will do something wacky to them.

Book is at Staples and I'll pick it up just before my noon o'clock lunch meeting.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #49 on:** January 23, 2017, 10:50:35 AM »

Just checked and my jury group has to report at 1 p.m.

Drat!

I am home from City Center where the music office is busy with The New Yorkers and Big River. I think Joshie was happy ro see me leave so he could bet organized.

The weather is extremely windy and we are due for rain. I mist step out around 6:30 for Rob Berman's birthday festivities, Thank God it's not far away. We're meeting at Cafe Frida.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** January 23, 2017, 11:25:38 AM »

It just poured hugely - for exactly thirty seconds. Now it is not raining and it looks like the sun might be trying to break through. Make up your damn mind, I say.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #53 on:** January 23, 2017, 12:17:06 PM »

DR RLP - fry the defendant.

From DR TCB:

Quote

We would have to win the state competition first. Flying would probably be easier, but I imagine we would drive.

No wonder I didn't realize you were going to Idaho as you need to stay in Washington first, then you will go to Idaho.

Where in Washington is the competition?

Jury vibes for RLP

And if all else fails, follow JRAND's advice.

Burn, baby, burn.

There's not much love in the library community for the new regime, but there's determination that libraries have a significant role to play in the resistance.

Ginny · « **Reply #58 on:** January 23, 2017, 01:34:02 PM »

Neil Patrick Harris was fabulous! He's promoting his new book for young readers, Magical Misfits, but I didn't stand in line to get a copy and have it autographed.

Today, the MD for a show I orchestrated in 2002 for the New York State Theatre Institute asked me to score a show he's doing for NYMF this summer. I like the premise, and it sounds funny, so I look forward to seeing the score and reading the script before I say yes.
