Good Evening!

Another good show tonight with a "weird" audience.  They were very responsive during the show, but then they all sat down and listened to the curtain call sequence.  Of course, after "Waterloo", they all stood up and cheered wildly, and then wondered why no one was coming back on stage.  Ah, well.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.  All of us have tons of friends in the audience, so they crowd should be lively.

*I also realized that tomorrow was probably a light day ticket-sales-wise since it's Mother's Day - which is a very traditional thing here in Richmond.  Church, then brunch, then a trip to Kohl's and Wal-Mart to exchange the gifts.  ;)  Seeing a show is not a normal thing to do.  However, we did have a bunch of people celebrating early this week - lots of sons and daughters with their mothers in the audience last night and today.  In any case...

I'll have at least 6 people at the matinee and 12 at the evening show that I know.  And after the evening show, a bunch of us will be going out for a sort of "Bon Voyage" party.  Good times for sure!

Enjoyed an ANGEL DVD episode tonight before HDTV kicked in. This one featured the return of Elisabeth ("Was it because I'm a lesbian?") Rohm.

I just got in from a lovely production of "A Little Bit of what you Fancy," featuring Mr Anthony Morelli.  My escort was the charming DRRodzinski, and we met DRBen at the show.  The production was lively, funny, and just the right length with a charming cast of personalities, each given several moments to shine.  Anthony is a very talented performer and a joy to watch.  He moves well, his clowning background is a major asset, and he's quite funny.  I liked the direction and choreography quite a bit, and I especially liked the arrangements of the musical director, one Mr Jason Wynn.  The vocal direction and vocal arrangements are very tight and a lot of fun.

After the show, DRRodzinski led the four of us down Lexington Avenue to a diner where we had a bit to eat and some socializing.  I'm off to bed now.  This baby is tired.

I liked your review, Mr LM, because it is... succinct and brief, and vice versa... and versa vice Miami, mon ami!

It's far too quiet around here.  I took some time to write a letter to my Dad, and when I got back there was just one more post!

Today, Sunday the 8th of May, is "Have a Coke Day!"

This is because, on May 8th in 1886, Coca Cola was first sold to the public at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta, Georgia.

Cherry Coke and Diet Coke came later, but are acceptable substitutes for the Coke you have on "Have a Coke Day."

There's no word as to when "Have a Pepsi Day" is celebrated.

Mr. Pogue, is your party still partaying, or are you in the clean-up stage now?

If Harry S. Truman were still alive, he would be 120 years old today.

Yes, Ben's Anthony and his castmates put on quite an enjoyable show of music hall ditties from early in the 20th Century, and some earlier than that. There's plenty of singing along, but not too much, and the atmosphere is one of a cast having the time of their lives. Methinks Vixmom and Co. will enjoy themselves.
After the show, it was the Lenox Diner, where Ben, Anthony and I enjoyed omelets while Elmore had a burger and onion rings. We closed the joint down.
The Gal is off at an 80s-themed slumber party, so it was good to have something else to do.

I actually caught the race, and it was quite exciting. Coming down the stretch it seemed like any one of 10 horses could win the thing. Just glad Steinbrenner's horse didn't win.

I was out and about all day and now I'm back.  This morning, I worked on two disco CD compilations (ABBA and Donna Summer) for a friend's 8-year old daughter, who went to a disco party!  For 8 year old kids!  She (the daughter) had never heard of either ABBA or Donna Summer, but when I brought the CDs to her house this afternoon, she really liked the songs on the CDs.

After that, I went on a little shopping spree (with my birthday money ;D).  I went a local music store and got the songbook to And the World Goes 'Round:  The Songs of Kander and Ebb.  I used to have this songbook but I have no idea where it is now.  I've been looking for it in my stuff for a couple of years and I have not found it.  So, I finally bought another copy.  I also got "The Alan Menken Songbook."  It has a couple of songs that Debbie (Shapiro) Gravitte recorded on her Alan Menken CD (produced by our very own BK!) and it also has songs that I've never heard of.  The only problem is that the songbook doesn't say where any of the songs come from.  That's a bit frustrating.

After the music store, I went to the local mall and went to the CD/DVD store, FYE.  I bought the DVD to "Man of La Mancha."  It was only $9.99...I almost bought the CD, but that was $18.99!!  I can wait.  But I did buy the 2-CD newly remastered movie soundtrack to "Mary Poppins" (I've never owned the soundtrack, not even on LP) to go with my brand new London cast recording.  That was on sale for $19.99, but I figure since it's 2 CDs, that that should be a good price.  Little did I realize....  

After I bought those, I went to Circuit City and guess what they had:  the 2-CD newly remastered movie soundtrack to "Mary Poppins" and it was only $13.99!! :o That's $6 cheaper!!  FORTUNATELY, I did not open the copy that I just bought for $19.99.  I bought the $13.99 copy at Circuit City and returned (unopened) the $19.99 copy for a refund!!  Yea me! ;D

I guess this means that I should buy the brand new DVD. ::)

Next, I went to Toys "R" Us, just to pass the time until I met my friend Margo (whose daughter wanted the disco CDs) at Red Robin for dinner.  I signed up for their e-mail stuff and on my birthday, I got an e-mail coupon for a free burger!  So I had some ranch chicken burger but I had them exchange a boca burger for the chicken.  I just wasn't in the mood for chicken.  It was very good...just not for $10.  I got the free sundae for dessert and they didn't sing to me.  Whew.

And the main reason I was dilly-dallying around all day, was that Margo and I went to see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that Margo's daughter Alexis was in.  She plays one of the actors in the acting troup.  Tonight was their final performance and it was quite good.  There was a lot of energy, the costumes were wonderful (some modern, some not...but it all worked) and the set was absolutely beautiful.  It was a series of panels with art nouveau forest images with nymphs everywhere, all in very bright colors.

I then came home, wrote all of these posts (this definitely counts as a frenzy ;D) and am now watching "Ebert and Roeper."  They didn't like "Giminy Glick in La-La-Wood" (or whatever the actual title is) and they both loved "Crash."

Hello All!

Again sorry for the errant and truancy lately. Finals week flew by, but what kept me from the boards was trying to squeeze in every bit of possible time I have just enjoying the company of my amazing roomates and my friends here at school. (Three of my roomates are graduating and moving away and another is getting married.) They are family to me. We had our picture together, so I always ask people if they want to see my family photo so I show them the picture of us I have in my wallet. I have had an amazing year and though it is very hard to say goodbye, I know I have new and exciting things coming my way so it is bittersweet. These are the closest friends I have ever made and these will most definitely be lifelong friendships.

I also got caught up enough to know I gave the wrong link for my donation page for the marathon! So sorry! The actual link is http://www.justgiving.com/pfp/nf1gunn I am at $95 dollars with two weeks to go so I am not doing bad at all considering I started a week ago. I am hoping I will be able to get more donations when I go home tomorrow. Thank you for all the good vibes!

Well, it's after 1:00 a.m. and I must go to sleep.  My housemate just got home and, as usual, he turned on his radio...I don't know why he does that but EVERY time he comes home, no matter what time of day or night, he turns on his radio.  Fortunately, if I'm in my bedroom, he keeps it pretty quite, but he still turns it on.  Oh, well.

Anyway, I'm off to sleep.  Goodnight, Joey.  And I hope BK is having/had a wonderful time at Thoroughly Modern Millie.
