Well, you've read the notes, the notes had blurbilicious blurbs, and now it is time for you to post until the blurbilicious cows come home.

And the word of the day is: NICETY!

Great blurbs, BK!

Topic of the Day: I've never been to Las Vegas, but I have the Region 2 DVD to Bette Midler's Divas Las Vegas concert. Does that count?

I have been to Reno, though...just a one-night stop with a friend while on a road trip to Utah and back to see friends in some summer stock shows.

Well, I'm off to bed. I need to get to work early so that I can leave work early so that I can get to rehearsal early so that I can get the Covid19 test to be able to actually go to rehearsal at the regular time.

Have a good day, all!

I think I liked Bruce Vilanch;s blurb the best.

Last night was a terrible night of sleep. It was cold, I could not get comfortable, and I was quite irritated by the whole ordeal. I did have a long dream about working on a production of The Pirates of Penzance. My goddaughter Charlotte was singing in it, and my brother Macbeth's first wife was involved in the production. In the dream, she and my brother were being sued for $40,000 and I think the suit involved dogs.

DR vixmom, I got an email from your artist. He's interested.

There are two places I never want to visit: Las Vegas and Florida. In the 1990s, while I was still at The Drama Book Shop, I worked on the American Booksellers convention at Atlantic City, which strikes me as a small-town Las Vegas, several floors above a casino. Once was enough.

Good morning, all.

An unpleasant night of surface sleep. I didn’t always feel asleep. And maybe I wasn’t.

I loathe Las Vegas and the soulless mediocrity of its architecture. Vapid glitz with little wit. I felt a palpable sense of evil about the place. Visited twice. Same results.

Good morning to all. Hope everyone has a great week

Looking forward to reading the new book

Good morning.

TOD: Yes. I love the tackiness. And the carpets.

It's extraordinary. What an incredible wit. I would probably be willing to read any book he blurbed so beautifully.

Good morning, friends.

Forgot to mention that I watched Better Nate Than Never a few days ago. It's not going to win any awards. But it's fairly entertaining if you're into musical theater.

Is this what all the brouhaha from the right is about? Disney "promoting" homosexuality? Give me a break.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** April 11, 2022, 05:48:34 AM »

I liked Vegas in the days of its mid-century vibe and kitsch, and the other-worldly escape from everything, but my good memories of that are from a few times in the 1970s and just a couple of times in the early 1980s. The last time I was there was in the early 1990s, when it had begun to transform into the oversized Disneyfied thing it is now. At this point I have little desire to return, since I would probably find the last remnants of what I enjoyed about it obliterated.

I only ever wandered around playing penny-nickel-dime slots, denominations that probably don't even exist anymore except in the most outlying areas, and I loved eating at the then-cheap 24-hour buffets. And I only ever saw two shows there: Don Rickles at the Riveria in the early '70s, and a corporate-sponsored Siegried & Roy show on that last visit. Okay, pretty tigers and all, but a waste of my evening. And of course we all know how that eventually turned out.

Fortunately, DR Laura's tackiness and carpets still live, there and elsewhere. Those make me happy, too.

I do indeed like that artist's style with DR Elmore's stories in mind. It would be so wonderful if something came of that.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** April 11, 2022, 05:51:04 AM »

DR vixmom would probably be looking at a pretty hefty commission.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** April 11, 2022, 05:53:27 AM »

Okay, I have to post it or it might still not happen:

Today -- YES, TODAY -- FINALLY -- I am taking down the ca-1962 aluminum tree.

We took the ornaments off a few weeks ago. Can't hurry these things, you know. But now I've said it, so I have to do the rest.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #26 on:** April 11, 2022, 06:06:27 AM »

Monday, Monday!

Well, enough of that.

No singing from Johnston SC this morning.

Having my coffee, pondering whether to trek to Leesville for a chiropractic consultation or not.

Dreamed strange dreams, none of which bear mentioning.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** April 11, 2022, 06:07:43 AM »

DR ChasSmith just reminded me why I chose not to have a tree this past Christmas.

Last year, I didn't put mine away until late March or early April. I didn't turn the lights on, but I just didn't feel like hassling with it.

Ah, well.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #28 on:** April 11, 2022, 06:08:40 AM »

Who knows how cold and gray the day may be?

Wait until dark and we'll be warm!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #29 on:** April 11, 2022, 06:09:02 AM »

Dang it! I said there would be NO SINGING this morning.
