I had a wonderful time last night at Artie's.

I had deluxe chili dogs (meaning they came with fries). They filled me up enough that I didn't have any rice pudding.

As Deb mentioned I walked her back to Lincoln Center where she parked her car and then she very kindly drove me home. Since I walked up from 16th Street and then was driven home I wasn't on the subway at all yesterday. We had a very nice conversation about what's going on in the world and our lives. It was all wonderful. I so enjoy my HHW friends.

And now, back to work.

First, we're going back to the scene of the crime and try for TWELFTH NIGHT tickets for tonight or tomorrow night.

Good morning, all!I had too much excitement last night, and could not get to sleep. As a result, i slept in and will not be making the trip to Toyland this morning.  So, i'm on my first cup of coffee and pondering how to proceed with a question from my Moross copyist Scott.

DR Ginny and Richard, thanks again for a really wonderful party last evening. I hope you have good luck with the TWELFTH NIGHT tickets.

Nice review for Sandy B linked in the notes....BWW certainly does love its popups, doesn't it?

Tonight I am going to see a rehearsal of THE WOMEN and hopefully pick up my script for ACHILLES/ACHILLES SON.....

The director of THE WOMEN asked if I had sheet music for "The Way You Look Tonight" in C or B flat.  The sheet music I have seems to be in E flat, but I do have a copy from a fake book that is in C....so I will take her that copy.

Everyone's food looked great.

DR Elmore, the potato pancakes/latkes, for my taste, were EXCELLENT.  Thank you for sharing!

The soups looked great.

DR Vixmom's cabbage roll looked yummy, and like it should keep a family fed for a week.

DH Richard's sandwich -- forgot to ask -- was that the pastrami, with cole slaw?  Whatever, it looked fantastic.

I think DR FJL said the blintzes were a little on the bland side?

I would never eat a chili dog or burger any other way than on a plate.  A local place has delicious chili burgers and I always ask them to put it on a plate instead of their Styrofoam container.  That just never works out. :P

The #20 bus took us right to the Big Gay Ice Cream Store, where DR Jose presented us a "flight" of flavor samples and then brought out some hot fudge to sample.  Not having the sense to stop there, Richard and I ordered from the menu - he had a Mermaid and I had a Salty Pimp (easy on the salt, but Michael double-dipped the chocolate).  We don't plan to eat again until after TWELFTH NIGHT (the play, not Jan. 6!)

Although it wasn't mentioned, Fred asked to be cut out of the photo. He doesn't like having photos taken of him so he requested that when it was posted that he be removed.


Yes, not wanting photos on the net until the "stalker" matter is resolved - I asked vixmom to edit me out of the photo (I was on the far side anyway) before it was posted, though I definitely want a copy of the photo for my own collection.

Wouldn't that be fun, DR Jane! Remember our first NYC HHW get-together in 2004! Such wonderful memories of the eating-walking-talking tour!

If only we had know what a feast DR FJL & Skip planned for us I would have eaten less on the walking tour, still I managed to indulge in the feast :)

LOL, I'll print that out for Skip!!!!   Thanks, Jane.

Had some chicken tenders, picked up some packages, finished liner notes number two and got them on their merry way, and got all singers and MD the music and mp3s for the Kritzerland show.  At some point I had an amusing meltdown when Hightail froze.  But it's all done now, and tomorrow I'll do liner notes number three.

Sad news for "I Love Lucy" fans.  Shirley Mitchell (http://tv.yahoo.com/news/love-lucy-actress-shirley-mitchell-dies-94-050000771.html), who played Marion Strong, has died.



The last of the cast members, apparently, except for Richard Keith (Little Ricky).

Did I forget to mention (why yes, I believe I did) that Vixmom has one of the most beautiful Noo Yawk accents I've ever heard?

No joke! 

I suppose it could be more Long Island than NYC in general.  I'm not good at accents.  Professor Higgins I am not.

That's why I asked if she'd lived here all her life.
Seriously, I do believe I could listen to Vixmom read the proverbial phone book!

Not that the rest of you sound horrible!  But you know, you either got it or you ain't...    :)

We had a wonderful time seeing TWELFTH NIGHT!  They open the house half an hour before curtain and the actors are on stage being dressed and made up.  The show was very well-done and the finale and curtain call are exquisite.  With that 7pm curtain, we were home before 10:30 to enjoy our Artie's leftovers from last night.

Post by: Ginny on November 14, 2013, 08:26:25 PM
I don't think I've ever shared here why TWELFTH NIGHT is so special to me.  I took one acting class in college and the instructor said on the first day that one of the ways we'd know we'd done well would be if he felt he could assign us Shakespeare for our final scenes.  My assignment was to play Viola/Cesario in the first scene she/he has with Olivia.

Now, I'm just watching Jimmy Kimmel (no relation to BK).  His first guest is his former girlfriend/partner Sarah Silverman.  She brought a box of his stuff that was left over from when they were together.  Of course, it's a comedy bit and it's pretty darned funny!

All of a sudden, a little kid ran out from back stage and asked her, "Mommy, am I gonna meet daddy tonight?"  And he was dressed just like Jimmy. :D

Good night, all. 8)
