Casting vibes for George

Thanks, Vixmom!

[George]

George - hope you get the part you want!

Thanks, Fred!

[George]

Laundering and changing the bed must be done. 

I was finally able to do this last night!

[George]

Just had to share.

[George]

And I just realized that I had been thinking that the performances would be in June, but they're in July.  And rehearsals begin June 12.  I guess we'll really need to learn the lines before rehearsals start!

June 12 is when I leave for a digital banking conference. Last year, I was just switching to a bank focus and did not get to go. It was in New Orleans. This year, when I get to go, it's in -- drumroll, please -- Austin.

John, will you be flying or driving that incredibly long distance from your home??

June 12 is the 19th anniversary of when I first test drove my car!  It had all of 20 miles on it.  Now, it has over 174,000 miles!  I actually bought it on June 14, so that's its "gotcha" day.  June 16th is my mom's birthday, and the 22nd will be my parents' 52 wedding anniversary!

Well more controversy.....I cast a mature looking High School Senior in the lead, and Niki is somewhat older.  Now the community is in an uproar because of it.....and we haven't even started rehearsals yet.

People are such idiots.  It's a PLAY....it's PRETEND.....mind your own GD BUSINESS.

However, I don't want THEM to have to be the targets of idiots.....so I may have to recast Frank.

I hate this show....I HATE IT.....I wish I had never said I would do it. 

And that's my day.....or rather my life for the next two months.

Just tell them that YOU are the director and you've cast the best actors for the roles!

[George]

I just had to turn down an invite to an eight-course Titanic dinner based on original menus. Already had plans. Bummer.

Send TCB in your place!  I'm sure he'd LOVE to be your proxy!

So sorry, DR JRand66.  Tell the moaners to get over it.  I once - possibly DR Ginny did, too - saw a misguided community theatre production of  Oklahoma! in which the Will Parker and Ado Annie were played by siblings.   I was very uncomfortable about it, but there was no uproar.

That was the first show I worked on here in town.  Volunteered to help with make-up and I was treated so badly I vowed never to go back.  Then, my boss's boss appointed me to the board of the sponsoring group, so they kind of had to accept me.  Baptism by fire in AUNTIE MAME kind of bought me some credibility.

I did not know the people well enough to know that Ado Annie and Will were siblings.

[Jrand74]

True DR GEORGE - you would think it would go without saying.

Oh my.....I hope some people spend the time they would have used to come to see the show to write letters to the editor and post things on FaceBook.....

[Jrand74]

I am off a bit early so that I can talk to the set designer.....

Pray for Rosemary's Baby.

Driving.

That is, of course, who I thought of first.

My car's anniversary is April 26th (I think) and it's approaching 195,000 at 15 years of age.

I am so enjoying Two for the Road.

My Mazda 3 is 12 years old with almost 175,000 on it. A big chunk of that was the Barbecue trail.

Speaking of which, I had brisket, ribs and jalapeño sausage for lunch. Happy.

[Ron Pulliam]

I had a salad with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers for lunch.

It's 65 degrees outside.  It's in the 50s in my office.  My new space heater is a blessing.

[Ron Pulliam]

I watched "Feud: Hagsploitation" last night.   Very excellent.

[Ron Pulliam]

Stanley Tucci is a wonderful Jack L. Warner!

[Ron Pulliam]

I never knew any back story on Crawford's brother, either.

[Ron Pulliam]

Jack:  When you say "the community is an uproar", do you mean local townfolks or the "theatrical" community?

[Ron Pulliam]

True DR GEORGE - you would think it would go without saying.

Oh my.....I hope some people spend the time they would have used to come to see the show to write letters to the editor and post things on FaceBook.....

They will.  Never fear!

My mom's town was hit by a tornado last week.

She's fine and experienced no damage, but another part of town was hit rather hard.

You can see photos via Google!

[Ron Pulliam]

That church is my mom's church.

[Ron Pulliam]

My mom and aunt drove from Johnston to nearby Ward SC, the "path" of the tornado, and witnessed uprooted trees and pickups overturned and tossed into fields.
