Well, you've read the notes, the notes were post-midnight notes, and now it is time for you to post until the post-midnight cows come home.

I slept very well with my guardian angel, the faithful Thatch. I had no dreams that I remember, but I'm feeling rather melancholic this morning and last night. I don't know if it's the surgery in three weeks, my insecurity about further work now that the ballet is coming to a close, or if I'm missing something I lost or never had.

Yesterday the humidity was so high, the AC leaked condensation all over the floor. Our landlord, when he combined 202 and 204 West 82nd Street into one building in the 1960s, curiously decided at all apartment ACs should be wall units, so my AC sits on a sliding platform in a rectangular opening, maybe 1.5x2.5-3.0 feet just below the end of my window. The platform should tilt a bit towards the street so the condensation can run out onto the wall of the building. but it occasionally tilts back so the condensation runs into the apartment. I don't know if it's the cats jumping on and off it, the cheap 1960s construction, or somethng else. The last time this happened,around a year ago, the new super came in to adjust the AC.

I just got the copyist's full score and mp3 of No. 39, Train Station Cakewalk. It sounds quite delightful.

Good morning, friends.

Bittersweet about the ballet coming to its conclusion.

DR elmore3003, are you considering traveling for the premiere?

singdaw · « **Reply #10 on:** August 27, 2023, 04:56:02 AM »

DR Ron Pulliam, thank you for the refrigerator/fridge clarity.

I just read this morning that the Eiffel Tower can gain as much as 15cm in height during the summer when the heat expands the metal.

Useless factoid.

This afternoon I am going for a very much needed haircut. I think it has been over 2 months. And my eyebrows look like wild hedgerows.

Read about two interesting obscure cast albums yesterday.

One is Schmidt and Jones's Grover's Corners demo, featuring Liz Callaway, which was supposedly released on CD at some point. I know a few of the songs have appeared on other commercial releases.

The other is a 2-LP set of King of Hearts, from a production at Los Angeles Harbor College.

I don't think I shall ever be able to hear either one, alas.

I was awake too early for a Sunday, but laid around enjoying the rest and I've been trying to bring back as much as possible of the insane dream I had.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:07:26 AM »

That's absolutely shocking, the price of BK's omelet breakfast at Art's Deli.

But people must be paying it fairly routinely, right?

Who are those people?

DR elmore3003, are you considering traveling for the premiere?

Actually, I have two trips coming up. The first is in November to Florida (why, God?) for Moonshine & Mistletoe, although I could live without seeing it. Then in March, my friends Richard and Sherri Newman and I are driving to Bloomington, Indiana for the orchestra rehearsals and openig of the ballet. Sherri is a huge balletomane and they will act as my librarians and guardians. On the way back, we may stop in Middletown, since it's Richard's hometown as well as mine, and see family.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:16:12 AM »

Oy. I forgot that Florida is where Moonshine is going to be.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:18:18 AM »

I would love to be there for the opening of the ballet, but March is a completely packed month for me these days. I'm already booked for half of it even as we speak.

Back to expensive breakfasts for a moment.

Me, for a breakfast that didn't have to be anything fancy or upscale, I'd be sticking to a Denny's, Norm's on La Cienega, Du-Par's at Farmers Market, or whatever other L.A. coffee shop still exists...even at the inflated prices all of those are probably charging now.

Because: Art's and the like? For thirty-six smackers? No Way.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:23:46 AM »

I wonder if BK ever stopped in for a meal, any kind of meal, at Skytrails on Sherman Way and Hayvenhurst, the "official" VNY airport restaurant. Talk about nothing fancy... but man, I ate a lot of fun and satisfying meals there for cheap. Of course, I'm talking the late '70s, and of course, the place hasn't existed in decades, may it and many other good things RIP.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:25:33 AM »

I first typed Havenhurst, because "Hay"venhurst just seemed wrong, then I looked it up. Has it really been that all of these years?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #25 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:26:04 AM »

Okay, I've got stuff to do. Happy Sunday Vibes to all.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #26 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:40:53 AM »

Sunday.

Yes DR JEANNE that is a beret on Dennis' head.....I thought he should look as pretentious as possible in his headshot.....and as a big fat bald person - in a headshot it is best to have your bald head covered.....or it becomes to focus of the photo.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #28 on:** August 27, 2023, 06:42:51 AM »

It's my Audrey Hepburn Funny Face beatnik dance look.
