Tower Lincoln Center finally confirmed and even upped their initial order of CDs - those are going out today, so New Yorkers will be able to find our CDs exclusively in Tower.

I was thinking about ordering the Guy Haines CD but now maybe I'll wait and buy it at Tower when I go to NY. Then I can have the memory of where I bought it at.

Well, folks. It looks like our occupancy permit hinges on whether or not "Charlie" shows up tomorrow to repair something of his that may not pass the fire inspection.

I think those "test cock" people have seen The First Nudie Musical and just done their own version of its most famous phrase.

Shortly I shall be supping with cousins Alan and Dee at Louise's. Not Louise the person, Louise's the restaurant.

Dear reader Laura, you do realize that if anyone is doing a google search on "test" or "cock" they will find haineshisway.com.

This may indeed bring in quite a few new Dear Readers -- or maybe Dear Lurkers. I wonder if they will ever tell us how they found us.

We're back from the doggie delivery. Sadie is a lovely fawn and white pit, who recently gave birth and is having serious problems with her uterus. Der B and I never learned what happened to the pups.

Sadie needed help getting into our car, partly because she was afraid, but once I got into the back seat with her she calmed down. Within ten minutes she had a smile on her face, glad to be away from the SPCA. I gave her scritches, which she enjoyed, and she slept part of the way up to Smyrna.

The young woman who met us at the park admitted to being new to the rescue operation. She and der B chatted while Sadie and I went for a walk. Sadie was so happy to be someplace where there was grass.

I helped pick her up again, to put her in her rescuer's car. Her next stop would be a vet's, to take care of her womb and bring her back to health. I felt sorry for her, but glad to know she was in good hands.

On our way to picking Sadie up from the SPCA, we received a call from my bosses at the market, asking if I could come in and help out. I had to beg off, and they understood. Sure, I'm missing out on some extra pay, but this was worth it.

I was watching the remastered twilight zones and one of things they have is a ten second promo. On this particular episode it was for My Sister Eillen. Did anyone ever see that show? Ruth was played by Elaine stritch. She really was really beautiful

In between episodes of The Twilight Zone.

I watched Steam Boy. From the director of Akira.

What a wonderful animee. It took 10 years to make.

Amazing work. Better than any Disney/Dreamworks of recent vintage

DRMichaelShayne, I loved the series "My Sister Eileen." It didn't last long, as I recall, and I believe it's the series that gave me the impulse to read the original stories. I hadn't heard the musical then.

Good Evening!

Back from rehearsal... Another good day. And a bunch of went out to the Thai place for dinner afterwards. *There are basically only three choices of cuisine here in Williamstown: Thai, Indian and Sandwiches.

Apparently, there is some Mediterranean/leaning heavily towards Italian place nearby, but we haven't tried it yet. One of the guys when asked what he would do when he got back to New York City in a few weeks responded: Eat Mexican!

In any case...

I took pictures! So...

Here's the composer, Curtis Moore, and the book writer, Joshua Scher:

*And I would have had a solo photo of Carlos, but my digital camera's auto-focus feature seems to be working sporadicly lately. I do have a fuzzy-focused one oh him, but I think I'll just try to take a better one of him tomorrow.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #229 on:** August 03, 2005, 06:37:48 PM »

...And if you can't tell from the photos, they really are a great bunch of folks. Very easy-going and lots of fun to be around.

DR MattH - Sorry, I'll miss you too this time round when you're in The City. Have a wonderful time, and just remember to take it easy. Lots to see, lots to do - but you don't have to see and do all of it.

And as for the heat... The Lobby of the Marriott Marquis is still my favorite place to chill out - literally - in the Times Square area. -Although, I do miss the rotating lounge on the Eighth Floor. -And they're still working on the new elevator system too - but the escalators are fun.

My day off is Saturday up here - which I thought was sort of strange - and it is - but it also ensures that we can see all the Mainstage productions at some point and time. *And it frees up the interns and company members to work concessions for those Mainstage shows.

TPunk · « **Reply #236 on:** August 03, 2005, 06:44:18 PM »

I actually have to decide it I'm going to make a trip out to California next weekend. A good friend of mine is working on the San Jose Jazz Festival and asked me if I could come out and work on it for a week.

I feel very fortunate- 2 weeks ago I was faced with leaving my job a month earlier than I had planned. And now I have more opportunities than I know what to do with!

You should have seen their show FOR THE LOVE OF TIFFANY; it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen, low humor of the highest order.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #239 on:** August 03, 2005, 06:52:09 PM »

Oh... DR Danise's mention of Tower Records reminded me of something that I saw last week at Tower...

In the Vocals section, there was a display of Nancy Lamott CD's. In particular, they were featuring "Nancy Lamott: Live at Tavern on the Green". On the front of the CD, there's a sticker with the following text: "Her first new CD in eight years!"

Well... Since she's been dead for eight years... It actually kind of disgusted me. I knew that Midder Music had sort of dissolved for a while, but "things" came back together again recently. I figured that after all the "stuff" that went on, that someone would have to know that putting "First New Recording in Eight Years!" on the CD would/could possibly come across as crass and cheap.

$:-\$
