That is, I won the derby pool, not the derby itself.  I think the prize should BE a derby hat, don't you?

I thought only 3 year olds could run!   :o

A derby for the derby winner would be redundant.

I'm hoping that someone who liked the Phantom film will offer a different perspective than mine.

One thing I forgot to mention in my Phantom thoughts, when I was discussing the painful process of trying to synch the vocals to the film:

It seems that that problem has influenced the editing of all those sequences.  They frequenly cannot hold on a performer's closeup very long (which is annoying) - I believe they could only hold synch for a certain amount of time, then they'll cut to a really wide shot, and if you look at the mouths you'll see they are doing things that don't resemble what is being sung.  Or, they'll cut to a statue or a wall hanging, stuff that is not logical.  Had they done their homework, none of that would have been necessary.

As Bruce says, the party starts before the race, there is a TV droning on in the background with the various prelimmaries before the race and several dope sheets culled from the internet and newspapers for people to handicap their horses for the pool and place their bets.  

Everything quiets down for the actual race.  We sing My Old Kentucky Home.  The race is watched on two TVs.  One out on the back deck and one in the TV room off the back deck.  Then those who picked the winner split the pot, according to their size of their bet.

Then the TVs are turned off.  Music is put on and the party continues well into the night.  There are nibblies before the race and the real food comes out after it.  The race is just an excuse to throw a big party on a day that will not be co-opted by anything else.  If you have one on 4th of July, say, too much competition.  But Derby Day, especially in California???  The Lovely Wife and I own that day out here.

Was that because you're daughter's feet were on top of yours while you were dancing?????

No, she's outgrown that, but have you ever tried dancing for three hours in  3 1/2 inch heels?

And my Bollywood movie for the weekend:

MY BROTHER NIKHIL (2005)

A champion swimmer is diagnosied with HIV...his family freaks out at this, and the revelation that he is gay. The only two who stand by him are his sister and his boyfriend.

This is the first Bollywood movie to deal with the subject of male homosexuality, and only the second to deal with the issue of HIV and AIDs....the first being last years remake of the film PHILADELPHIA, but with a woman in the lead role (which I have on DVD but have not watched yet)

Despite the serious tone of the film there is still the requisite singing and dancing!

Well, I had a productive lunch. Why, oh, why do I go to Academy after lunch??? But I did happen across some very nice things which will provide me with listening material this afternoon.

I got The Happy Time with [/b]Robert Goulet[/b], David Wayne and "Mike" Rupert (before he became Michael Rupert).

I also got Allegro with the original cover art and CD booklet. Apparently there were two other later releases. This one uses the 1947 record cover art.

And I also got Mr. Wonderful, "a new musical comedy" starring Sammy Davis, Jr.. I have seen this record at various used record stores but didn't want to part with $50 or more. I know the CD is out of print so I was very happy to get it for a mere $15. Along with Sammy we get The Will Mastin Trio, Jack Carter, Pat Marshall, Olga James AND Miss Chita Rivera. Book by Joseph Stein and Will Glickman with music and lyrics by a trio Jerry Bock, Larry Holofgener and George Weiss.

My afternoon listening is set.

Sounds wonderful.    We have a terible house for parties, a small 1955 cape cod style home.. There's no room to really mix and mingle.  All our best parties are in the summer when we can be outside (and heaven help us if it rains!!)

I'm a strange party-giver.  I really don't like big parties, but when I do my Christmas Eve do, no matter how many people attend, I usually try to herd them into one room, because that's how I think parties are fun, with everyone together, yakking and schmoozing.  I have a really nice place for party-flow, but I just don't like flow, I guess.  My favorite parties to have are small dinner parties - love those, and I must do one very soon.

Good Morning!  Good Afternoon!

I ended up falling asleep on the (very comfy) couch last night, and the next thing I knew it was about 10:00 this morning.  -I didn't even hear Steve get up and get ready for work and leave.  I guess i was tired.  I just lazed on the couch through the end of the Noon news, and now...

I love parties!  I love party planning....and I love to go to parties and see how they begin to work and become lovely events.....

I love house warmings and holiday parties, and dinner parties, and event parties.  Yes, I LOVE to go to parties.  I love CAST parties.  I love everything except STRIKE parties because the tech people get SO damn bossy - and I wish they would realize if they didn't have our help they would be doing it by themselves.
