Well, if you subscribe to CASTRECL, you now know the name of the LIAR guy. What a diatribe!

That guy is literally URGING everyone to file PayPal disputes!

I have responded to the idiot via castrec. With facts. And I have all his insane e-mails that I'd be more than happy to share. Bottom line: On Saturday, after the package had been delivered, he was the LIAR, telling me repeatedly, over and over, that no package had arrived. Well, the USPS is pretty good about proof of delivery. Then he cancels his PayPal dispute because he now knows they know he was lying. And he admits on castrec that he DID get the package on Saturday - do you think this idiot had the courtesy to e-mail and tell me that and APOLOGIZE? Nope, not him. If anyone is on there, do feel free to take him on - that would be great.

Saw the kidney doctor. Five years since the last surgery. No signs of cancer returning.

All the ones mentioned are great, but I especially like BK's mention of The Most Happy Fella, The Music Man, and Li'l Abner. That style of poster art communicated something that's rarely seen anymore, about the shows, what they were, and what they had to offer.

In fact, I'd propose a corollary to the question: What are the WORST examples of musical theatre poster art? I'd proceed directly from one of the above, in saying that that horrible bland picture of that little brat blowing the trombone with that deadly new (and apparently forever) Music Man revival font/logo is just about my number one most hated thing. I mutter an oath every time I see it. But along those lines, I'm sure I'd quickly find several other revival designs that are just as much of a death knell on their own shows as that one is for The Music Man.

Another favorite, though, from a totally different theatre world and in a totally different concept: the 1988 Carrie.

The worst are usually the ones with just the title without (seemingly) even much thought going into any kind of design, like these:

But I totally agree about Carrie's artwork. That was very simple, but great.

The Repor

I and a few others have been dismissed from serving truth, justice, and the American way for another few years.

The Repor

This was a jury call for a particular case starting on Oct. 25 and estimated to run to around Nov. 8. Before beginning the selection process, the judge asked for anyone who had conflicts during that period to please identify themselves and that would be discussed with each of us alone. As a few others were standing I realized (selfishly) that it could compromise an upcoming musical thing or two, so I stood up, too, knowing I'd have to explain that later when they met with us privately. But I had also been gauging the quality of my vision inside the actual courtroom. Just yesterday my surgeon and I had agreed on Jan. 10 and 24 for the cataract surgeries, and though I get by fine in my normal routine, the particular distances to the attorneys, etc., and in that lighting, was not amenable to reading people's eyes, expressions, and all.....and god forbid there'd be charts or other "exhibits" to look at during a trial. So I was definitely going to discuss that issue with them. As it happened, they excused those of us with the potential conflicts, with no need to justify or explain them, so I am done.

I would hope the cataract situation would have been good enough. I expect you will be glad to get it taken care of.

What is "castrec"? What is the actual site name?

It seems we have possibly been exposed to covid. If only we could have been vaccinated earlier.

Oh, no!!

We are keeping our fingers crossed, don't really want to waste a vaccination on a case of covid
