Good Evening!

Back from the show...

Our conductor was back tonight.  He was out last week visiting his family back in England.  -Hopefully, he won't have to return any time soon...  In any case...

It was a fun evening.  The conductor was sort of getting back into the swing of things, and we also had all the cast back tonight too - no understudies or swings on.

I was also being shadowed by Emily - one of the "travelling" keyboard players - since she will be playing my book and keyboard tomorrow night - and the rest of the week.  She's normally plays Keys 2 or Keys 3, but since she is in training to conduct the show, she'll be playing Keys 4 for the rest of the run in DC.  It's a very "rest" filled part, so it makes it easy to observe what the conductor is doing for cues, etc.  And, as of now, it looks like I will be "walking" the rest of the week.  All I have to do is stop by next Thursday and pick up my check.  :)

...On the way back up from Richmond this afternoon, I decided to stop for gas off the Ladysmith exit on I-95.  This is the exit where two gas stations across the street from each other have been having a price war of sorts.  Each of them lowering their prices penny by penny when "challenged" by the other station.

Both stations had the same price per gallon, so I'm guessing some sort of truce was called.  Or that they both just couldn't afford to continue offering gas below their own cost.  In any case...  I was able to fill my tank up for less the $20.00.  The price for a gallon of Regular was down to $1.92!

*I also noticed that one of the "off-brand" gasoline stations was actually down to $1.83!!  Of course, by the time I noticed that price on their billboard, it was too late to make that exit.  Ah, well... I still got a pretty good deal.

A rather morbid question:  does anyone know if Allyn Ann McLerie is alive or not?  There's been a bit of a running discussion of her on Castrecl and people are wondering on her whereabouts.  I could swear that I read her obituary in The Philadelphia Inquirer years ago.  There is no mention of a date of death at imdb or ibdb, but the memory of that obit is on the solid side.

I also tend to hold thing in, and I never forget a slight. I can get past things, but I rarely forget. A major aspect of my character is calm, so people come to expect it from me, which is cool. The downside of it is, if I show a little anger, people react as if I've hurled chairs across the room. It seems unfair, because other people can get away with more outward anger because people are used to it from them.

I also have a habit of writing folks off if they really wrong me. They'll just never hear from me again.

Me two... three.. four... ???

I'm also usually very laid back and calm.  I still remember getting entrance "giggles" when I sang Mr. Maurrant in Street Scene in college.  People just couldn't believe that I could be such a sonovabitch.

Hey, don't forget that BK married you and I in holy matrimony! That means I get half!

Ummm...

I thought that only applied if the marriage was consumated.

Of course... Well...

Nevermind...

Boy, would I not want to be the dresser for Dr. Lao if they DID do a musical version of the show. You'd never have a moment's peace!

I adore the Leigh Harline theme for that movie, so Jerry Herman probably could do a bang-up score for it, I'd miss that theme very much.

Of course, Bob Merrill did a great new theme for LILI when he wrote CARNIVAL!, and I think each of them is individually wonderful, and both fit the story so beautifully.

A smoother run for the show tonight. We have some invited audience members tomorrow night for our final dress (Time Out Youth - an organization for gay teen help and support).

I got gas today at Costco for $2.149!  Why can't the price be that low here?? :'(

Regular (non-Costco) prices average 10¢ a gallon more!

Oh...

Instead of my usual stop at Potbelly for my pre-show meal, I stopped into Teaism for a change.  I tried their new chicken salad.  It was quite different and quite dee-lish!  Chicken with Thai green curry, apples, celery, onion and mayo on top of a bed of mixed greens - oh, and garnished with toasted coconut.  Very refreshing, and just enough of the green curry to provide a nice kick to the proceedings.

Had an unexpected need to go out and have a conversation tonight.  Now I must hurry and write the notes.

I have, however, caught up and read all the excellent postings.

Umm... nope.  Except perhaps to quote our illustrious drummer, Yosef, "Ooooh my God!"
