And so we opened.....

Jrand73 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 12, 2019, 08:13:36 AM »

And got to Page Two.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #32 on:** July 12, 2019, 08:15:45 AM »

We had about 3/4's of a house.....and the laughter started at the beginning and continued for the rest of the night.

I was most popular with the populace particularly in the second act when I come in and clean up the mess that George and Arnold have created....

And my clothes of course got much comment...... More chicanery and shenanigans last night. I locked the front door.....helped with the cleaning and started to leave....checked the front door and someone had UNLOCKED it so they could get back in.....

Elmore, I hope to start reading this weekend.

I would say same here, but I think mine will have to be a few days beyond that. Soon!

Congratulations on your interesting opening night, DR Jrand68!

My cousin Sue Ellen, who's a published poet, sent me some good criticism on the Annabelle-Thatch stories, and I have some thinking to do about one chapter.

That's great!

In 1980, my friend Jim Roman, with whom I'd acted in dinner theatre, told me to stop being idle and come help with the newly-formed New York Gay Community Band. When I said I played piano, not a band instrument, he said I would be the editor of their newsletter, and so I was for a year. As my choral and vocal arranging picked up, I left the band.

Jim posted this photo on Facebook this morning. I have no memory of it, but I'm guessing this is from the June 1980 Pride parade. I'm on the left holding a flag.

That's really cool, Larry!

Elmore, I hope to start reading this weekend.

I made a PDF and put it on my Kindle. I've read the first two chapters, and am enjoying it.

I will say that this WIZARD OF OZ -- now made up, costumed, miked, lit, and all that good stuff -- isn't as bad as I'd thought it was going to be. Which sounds like faint praise, and I guess it is. But it will sell well, and for their $25 per head, The People will enjoy it.

I remember reading years ago, "Bad community theater is better than no community theater." Even when I've been in stinkers (fortunately, a rare occurrence), I've certainly enjoyed the process...but of course, that doesn't matter to the audience.

The Epstein deal did him in. Acosta has resigned. So much for all the "better people" Tramp keeps appointing.

But sadly, look what it took for him to get to the point to resign. $:-\$

I'm up, I'm up - six-and-a-half hours of sleep, thanks to really loud yakking and stuff from next door. Perhaps time to have a chat with them.

Item on the menu at the Korean restaurant where I am having lunch:

Haircut with Korean radish in a spicy sauce.

I didn't feel anything here in Tumwater.

DR JRand68, one more event in my life I have no memory of!

I've been wanting to ask you about the Doris Day movie of SEND ME NO FLOWERS. Is it close to the play?

The 6th person in from the left, second row, nearly in profile and holding a saxophone is my friend Ken Goralski, whom I've not seen in over twenty years. In 1980 he was having housing issues and I offered him my apartment while I went to Ohio to visit family for Christmas. I returned on Jan. 2 and Ken stayed on as my roommate till July or August, when he left New York to go to grad school at Stamford. He was such a good friend. I hope he's well.

In that same row, there is a lady who acted as a pimp for one of the more exclusive male escort services in the City. She recruited several members of the band to work as escorts. They were all embroiled in a huge Brinks truck robbery and a gay porn film Centurions of Rome. The rumor is that the costumer for the film was a dresser at the Metropolitan Opera and all the Roman soldier uniforms came from the Met's production of Bellini's Norma.

Life was never dull in the 1980s!

Back from a chili, cheese, and onion hog dog and a side Caesar salad, both excellent. I broke GEE down into five sections per part, each about twenty-two or twenty-three pages long, so that's done.

When I got home I called ACX and got everything up and ready, got the specs, uploaded the correct cover (they have their own specs), so as long as the studio gives me exactly what I need, there should be no issues at all, and since I'll be there when it's being done I'll be proofing as we go, so that step has been taken out of the process.
