A very nice remembrance of Sammy Williams.

We watched THE SHAPE OF WATER last night.

It was well done, but I didn't really "love" it.

Unlike THREE BILLBOARDS, which had its own issues, there was nothing in the film that surprised me.

Performances were fine, though I thought Michael Shannon's character was written to be a bit too "over the top".

Did Sammy Williams appear in A CHORUS LINE when it played the Shubert in Los Angeles?

(I think I saw it at the Shubert in Century City.)

George - for the Battle number change: actually, no problem at all for us, and it could be interesting to see how it goes in the Redmond production if that's what they choose. It was interesting to Skip and me that they asked to use the Battle number that was done at the Village in 2008, and the licensor company has no problem about it. We knew there was an audio (though not greatest sound; IIRC, it was more about hearing what got audience reaction) of that, with the different number, as the audio was done very openly, so that may have been what folks in nearby Redmond had gotten used to. The Kritzerland cast album was in 2005, the Village Theatre audio was 2008.

Hmm, could adding the new 8-minute Battle be an excuse, er, occasion to update the cast album?

There also does seem to be renewed interest in the 1984 "Last Starfighter" film online because the author/novelist of the new Spielberg film "Ready Player One" Ernest Cline was very influenced by the original "Last Starfighter" film.

Good morning, all.

In a couple of hours I must get ready for a closing matinee.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2018, 07:19:51 AM »

Enjoyed a (slightly) extended sleep, and, just now, coffee and some delicious Pillsbury cinnamon rolls.

When I get home this evening I shall enjoy Act 2 of my corned beef & cabbage & carrots & potatoes meal.

Just for the heckavit, my setup for this week's journey into a forest.

Sunday morning greetings! I saw Fr. Richard off to fill in for the priest in Dayton and have been reading the paper and puttering a bit.

DR Chas, nice pic of your setup. Do your setups vary? If so, please share photos more often.

Ginny · « **Reply #42 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:27:57 AM »

Thank you, BK, for the nice remembrance of Sammy. I will listen to A Chorus Line today...

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:28:24 AM »

We watched LBJ last night and enjoyed it very much.

Ginny · « **Reply #44 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:32:09 AM »

I appreciate the comments from the Pacific Northwesters about our decision not to make the trip. We never say never, but it just wasn't coming together for this summer.

Nice notes today - thanks for sharing your thoughts MR BK.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #46 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:46:03 AM »

Nice photo DR CHAS SMITH....yes our setup changes for each show....we have a PIT in a LOFT on the stage right side of our theatre....it's much better than when the band was on the floor next to the audience on Stage Right.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:46:33 AM »

Two Indiana teams Hooterville and Pixley are playing in the NCAA tournament at 12:10 p.m. so I will probably watch that....

Yes, as DR Jrand67 says, they vary, but the pictures would tend to look a lot alike. This one, however, marks the MacBook Pro's first outing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** March 18, 2018, 08:51:21 AM »

One of the musicians I play with a lot does something I wish I'd begun long ago. He takes a photo or two documenting the setup, and usually the players, in every show or other gig he plays, which would amount to a wonderful collection of memories. I think I have a few older ones, but I will make it a point to snap something from now on.

Thanks for the heads-up, DR JRand!

I'm still recovering from Michigan's buzzer-beater victory last night - well, early this morning...

I finished ~~all~~ some of my housework and had a short nap. Thatch jumped out of his cat tree to lie beside me and let me pet him. When he had enough, he went back to the tree. Annabelle's sleeping in the bathroom. I'd like another hour of napping but I must get to work.

Good morning.

I took a nice walk this morning to get a bus pass for tomorrow. I had a rather lengthy discussion with the clerk about how much a bus pass would cost. A round-trip day pass is four dollars. She insisted it was two dollars. She finally showed me the pass she was trying to sell me; it is a senior pass. I told her I didn't qualify. She looked astonished.

Laura · « **Reply #54 on:** March 18, 2018, 09:45:16 AM »

I think "astonished" is a word that should be used more often.

I suspect the clerk was a youngun
