DR Jennifer I read the first book in a series I think you would like, "My Sister's Grave" by Robert Dugoni.

Last night, I ushered for a local (professional) production of Present Laughter, by Nöel Coward. It was very good! The set was gorgeous! The show was almost 3 hours long, but to me it didn't seem like it. The lead actor was fantastic! He and the show got a deserved standing ovation.

After the show, my friend Margo (who was also ushering) and I went out to a late dinner at McMenamins The Spar. I didn't get home until about 12:30 and promptly went to bed. Sorry I didn't check in, but I was too pooped to ketchup on the posts.

Last night I went out for my aunt's birthday. She wanted to take a bunch of us to a very fancy sushi place. It was so delicious I was in heaven!

A Very Happy (belated) Birthday to your aunt, Jennifer!

Okay, people, listen up:

This cold really caught me but good. I'm in the throes of it, and I know that no matter what improvement I might feel through the day, it would be folly to think I can take an all-day trip into the city tomorrow and sit through a show. My coughing alone would be disruptive in the extreme, and in the end I'd be all the worse for it. So I'm afraid I'll have to forfeit my chance to see The Golden Apple.

Therefore, who would like to use my ticket? I'll email the PDF and you print it out and use it. It's got my name on it, but I can't imagine the ticket takers at the door looking at that, or that it would be an issue if they did.

FJL? Maybe we offer it to Ben or Anthony? Who am I neglecting to think of here?

VERY sorry to miss this, but I gotta get well for a multitude of activities that I simply can't afford to miss...

That's too bad, ChasSmith.

Jrand has been on my mind, as well, but he was told he's be in the hospital for 4-5 days, so I didn't expect him to post until today at the earliest. We're all anxious to hear from him, I know.

Glad Ben can use the ticket.

Any news from your sister, John G?

Topic of the Day: right now, I'm listening to the 2012 London cast recording of Gay's the Word. When that's done, I'll listen to two CDs that I just received in the mail about half an hour ago: the new Broadway cast recording of Hello, Dolly!, and new 2-CD live London cast recording of Dreamgirls!

Re The Federal:
I can't understand booking a show--any show--and then reneging on it. It's a commitment. Does The Federal take a percentage of BK's shows, but get paid a flat rate--and larger rate--for these others?

George · « **Reply #81 on:** May 12, 2017, 12:46:53 PM »

Oh, I almost forgot! Jane hit a significant millstone!

Continued vibes to TCB.

How long have you been sick now, Tom?

bk · « **Reply #83 on:** May 12, 2017, 12:55:35 PM »

The Federal gets the food revenue plus about three bucks on every cover charge. And yes, when these entitled people show up and wave a big check, the Federal doesn't care about us at all. This has happened numerous times - last year it happened three times in a row, at which point I said I would leave if something wasn't done - it hasn't happened since then, and since when does a Bar Mitzvah party happen on a Sunday?

FJL · « **Reply #84 on:** May 12, 2017, 12:58:39 PM »

What day do Bar Mitzvahs generally happen in L.A.?

Jeanne · « **Reply #85 on:** May 12, 2017, 01:02:31 PM »

Ron, when I was planned my cross-country move I was surprised to learn that the bulk of the cost was with the non-discretionary items (my furniture and such) and that after a certain weight additional boxes didn't really add much to the cost. Of course, you don't want to have to pay to move things you won't need, but it's certainly less stressful to move a bit more, then sort it out later at your leisure. The moving company was also able to pick up all the stuff from my storage locker. I arranged to have someone I trusted there. Much easier than having to move it all back to my house! Some movers might be a little more flexible than you think.

Jeanne · « **Reply #86 on:** May 12, 2017, 01:04:30 PM »

Bruce, if you knew somehow for certain that you'd sell out would it still be less revenue for The Federal?

I will talk her this weekend. She's still sore and tired, according to her texts.

That's to be expected. I hope she starts to feel better soon.

Yes, they get like ten grand for these events - it's all studio events or rich people waving their checkbooks. I always thought Bar Mitzvahs happened on Saturdays and that the parties were either directly after the event or that evening.
