ChasSmith, yes The Crucible is vivid stereo - even when I bought it back in 1962 I got a stereo copy. And just two weeks ago I bought for twelve bucks a sealed stereo copy on eBay, whose cover is the only pristine cover I've seen since - it's almost all black so it scuffs and wears really easily. But this had its shrink wrap and so the cover was minty fresh and brand new. I had it scanned tonight and it will be the back of the booklet.

Joshie took this photo of us when I got back to the apartment. Annabelle looks quite angry with me. Do you think she was pissed because I left her for four hours with food she detests?

Nice photo.

She's ignored this tent/bed for the past three days. Today, when I set it at the foot of the bed, she walked through it and now she won't come out of it.

I don't recall ever seeing a cat bed like this, but it certainly seems like a good idea.

A week ago I heard from the Levi Strauss company who were - oh - disturbed by our logo. So I responded with a really good e-mail and then we heard nothing for over a week so I assumed they were okay with it - but today I got another saying they want us to remove the red bat-wing design behind the title - that's trademarked and they simply don't grant use of it to anyone. I think we're okay with our font - it's actually slightly different than theirs and I don't think you can trademark a font. What they do have trademarked is Levi's - and we don't have that wording or punctuation obviously and if I read the e-mail correctly he's okay with that. So I'm just trying to get clarification about the jeans pocket - again they don't own a trademark on a jeans pocket so I'm sure that's fine. So, once I speak to him or he e-mails me we'll make the change and I'll have to get it right up on Indiegogo, which should update any shares I did on Facebook - and we'll swap it out on the Facebook Levi! page. And I invited him or anyone from he company to come see it as our guest - because I think they would love it. But there were no threats or anything - all very cordial and friendly so that was nice.

I would think that they'd be pleased about the production. Did you tell them about it?

Yes, I wrote them the entire history of the show - a really good e-mail. There was nothing adversarial in either of their e-mails so no one had to get upset. I also invited them to come down and see the show - so they know what it is and that's a loving tribute to their founder. I'm pretty sure this guy's job is to sit at his computer all day and search for infringements. He knows what we're doing - we're not a rival company - he gets it.

Won't some kind soul take us to 80%? So close and yet so far.

bk · « **Reply #126 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:17:29 PM »

Won't some kind soul go and review the damn Rachmaninov CD already?

John G. · « **Reply #127 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:18:35 PM »

I'll give it a listen after the movie.

Jeanne · « **Reply #128 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:19:25 PM »

I think it would be a nice touch to have a representative from Levi Strauss there at the show.

Jeanne · « **Reply #129 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:21:16 PM »

Maybe Levi Strauss could donate lots of jeans to the Indiegogo campaign.

Jeanne · « **Reply #130 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:21:42 PM »

John G, are you still on vacation?

Jeanne · « **Reply #131 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:23:01 PM »

I guess you're home since you received the CD.

I got home tonight. The fun starts tomorrow morning, all too early.

Jeanne · « **Reply #133 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:25:00 PM »

Ah. Well, it sounds like you had a relaxing break.

Today I went to a new eatery near me. I had the impression from their website that they had lots of prepared dishes to take out and homemade soups. I love soup! The place is larger than I imagined and the menu more extensive. They only had two soups today--neither of interest. I tried their house salad: arugula and baby romaine, red quinoa, lots of pecans, some candied pecans, dried cranberries, and green apple with balsamic dressing. It was quite good! NOT cheap, but a substantial portion. I'll return. Maybe I'll have gotten over the sticker shock by then.

Jeanne · « **Reply #135 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:36:32 PM »

I guess I need to win the lottery. Or maybe it's age. You recall what prices USED to be.

~~I may need to start cooking again.~~

Jeanne · « **Reply #136 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:37:20 PM »

I eat out a lot, but it's mostly cheap places.

Speaking of cooking, Bruce, have you ever tried Celentano ravioli? Von's or Gelson's probably have them. They're quite good. Easy to prepare and just add a jar of good pasta sauce. A quick, tasty, easy meal. Trader Joe's has good ravioli, also. And good marinara sauce.

Jeanne · « **Reply #138 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:43:37 PM »

You can guess what I had for dinner tonight.

Jeanne · « **Reply #139 on:** October 03, 2017, 08:44:36 PM »

Good night.

John G. · « **Reply #140 on:** October 03, 2017, 09:29:46 PM »

Good night, all.

bk · « **Reply #141 on:** October 03, 2017, 09:52:17 PM »

I haven't had any kind of ravioli since I was ten - Chef Boyardee.

What no reviews of Rachmaninov? Don't make me bitch-slap you people from here to eternity and hell and back.

Sat on my couch like so much fish and listened to an SACD of Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain - this one from Mobile Fidelity. I had two other SACDs of this, both horrible in completely different ways - a travesty that should not be allowed, but which is proof that just because it's SACD doesn't mean it's good. My Japanese mini-LP CD sounded better than either of those. So, third time's the charm and the Mobile Fidelity is spectacular and puts all regular CD releases of this title to shame. THIS is how to do an SACD.

Thanks for the description DR Vixmom, and congrats on posting the photo.

Jane · « **Reply #145 on:** October 03, 2017, 10:38:31 PM »

Bruce good vibes there are not any more issues from the Levi Jean's people.

bk · « **Reply #146 on:** October 03, 2017, 11:07:34 PM »

I don't think there'll be any further issues once we change the design a bit - he was very friendly.

Notes are thankfully finished and will go up on time and then it's right to bed for the likes of me.

Good evening!
