Title: A LITTLE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
Post by: bk on July 12, 2015, 01:33:07 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes took a little trip down memory lane, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently taking a little trip down MOOmory lane.

People down and across the street had water in their homes......

Right now I'm doing laundry, but Paul and I are going to a movie later. It's going to be a pretty quiet day, laundry and a little more cleaning. When I had my car accident I didn't have the luxury of having all the chores done before I had to recuperate. This time I'm going to have everything done and clean so I can just sit back, read books, watch movies and get better. So I don't mind doing some of that on my birthday, it will be a gift to myself

I'm thinking not unless I send you a code for a free download - but George had trouble with that and I don't know if it was solved.

From George:
It sort of was, but it wasn't. I could've read it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet, but the size of the font was very small and not scaleable. And it never worked on my Kindle. I broke down and read the physical book in an afternoon. :)

I suppose now isn't the time for me to attempt this. Maybe when my house is in order.

Post by: ChasSmith on July 12, 2015, 11:29:34 AM: I just cleaned and listened to a little bit of the German MY FAIR LADY cast album I rescued yesterday. It's in near perfect condition and sounds well recorded. Right off the bat, the orchestra sounded damned nice, and then so did the cast. Glancing over the liner notes, I found it was conducted by none other than Franz Allers.

Checked on Amazon.de, and I see it's not only still in print on CD, it's the first one shown in the search results. So, nothing rare, except for being a really nice vinyl find. I'm delighted to have it.

Title: Re: A LITTLE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
Post by: bk on July 12, 2015, 12:49:13 PM: BUT, ChasSmith's memory is also excellent and correct - on December 14, Close Encounters moved from the Dome to the Paramount, which means it played less than three weeks at the Dome.

Post by: elmore3003 on July 12, 2015, 02:43:46 PM: I spent the afternoon watching RETURN TO CRANFORD, a most delightful Christmas production. For musical theatre aficionados, Julia McKenzie sings a beautiful, melancholy song at a social gathering, and Jonathan Pryce and Tim Curry have wonderful roles. Michelle Dockery of DOWNTON ABBEY has a nice secondary role. It's a lovely sequel to the original 2007 production, which is glorious.

Post by: Cillaliz on July 12, 2015, 03:31:45 PM: Paul and I went to a matinee of Inside Out today. It was interesting, original and had some very funny moments. I liked it, but can't say I loved it. It's sort of a psychological profile of an 11 year old girl. I have no clue what a kid would think of it, but there were a lot of kids there today

Post by: Jrand74 on July 12, 2015, 03:53:13 PM: My brother gave me a set of Block City blocks - I used to love to build houses and buildings with them when I was young[er]....

I started to build a house and realized that this EBAY purchase only had three small windows.....so if I build something it will have to be a DARK house.

I do have a set myself....with red windows, so maybe I will combine the two.

Post by: Cillaliz on July 12, 2015, 04:25:37 PM: You definitely need more than two windows in a house, I'd combine the sets

after you saw The Apple Dumpling Gang at the Fox, did any of the audience members recognize you?

It was the noon show - I believe I was the only one there.

You and I must be the only ones who still write checks, Elmore.

My account is too erratic to allow them to deduct funds.

I write one check a month for my HOA dues. Otherwise, I write checks as the treasurer of both Theater Artists Olympia and my library's supervisor's union.

Yes, that is the corner of my front yard. The water is receding....like my hairline....but it got closer to my house than it ever has.

People down and across the street had water in their homes......

Yikes! Hopefully the water stays away from your house!

Title: Re: A LITTLE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
Post by: TCB on July 12, 2015, 09:29:36 PM: The first movie I remember seeing in a theater was THE WIZARD OF OZ at the Proctor Theater two blocks from our house. I saw almost all the movies I saw as a kid at the Proctor with my friends or my sister. When we went as a family it was usually to the Temple Theater in Tacoma. That was the theater where most of the Road Show Engagements played. I mostly remember seeing WEST SIDE STORY, BEN-HUR, CAMELOT, and SOUTH PACIFIC there. We had three downtown theaters in a one block area. The Roxy, the Music Box, and the Rialto. The Roxy is where PSYCHO played. The Music Box burned down while the THE BIRDS was playing. And the Rialto is where I saw that horrible MR. SARDONICUS.

Post by: TCB on July 12, 2015, 09:34:03 PM: And in the summer we had the four drive-in movie theaters. We had the Auto-view, the Fife, the Starlite, and the 112th Street.

The Skyline Drive-In (http://www.skylinedrive-in.com) is between Olympia and Shelton. If I remember correctly, for a while years ago it showed "adult" movies. ;)

The ice cream looks good.

I purshased mini cones and had one tonight filled with Badkin Robbins chocolate chip. Keith laughs at my miniscule cone but I like the size.
