Well, you've read the notes, the notes had an "aha" moment, and now it is time for you to post until the "aha" cows come home.

Cool breeze, coffee, recliner.

Glad to know those Vixes are safely ensconced in Florida, enjoying a well deserved vacation.

Vixmom, as nice as the Downtown Disney area still is, I strongly believe they unnecessarily threw away so much of what made it great and better diversified in terms of activities.  The original Pleasure Island was unique and wonderful.  I'm thinking back ten to fifteen years ago.

Back to ASSASSINS today -- the start of tech week, but for me that's not till 6:00 p.m.  I'm looking forward to finding out what our physical arrangement will be, such as off to the sides or behind the set or what have you.  This is in a fairly large (200 seats or more) studio theater that I haven't been in yet.  I don't think they're doing this show in the round, but they have that capability.

Boy, it really is breezy.  Good thing this isn't the day I was going to start working outside.  Doing it tomorrow, though.  I plan on spending many of the daylight hours this week clearing brush and weeds that have grown into trees, and other such things around this jernt.  Fortunately, the weather should be perfect for that the entire week.

Lovely notes - I remember seeing 10 to Midnight and having some of the same questions about it as MR BK wrote in the notes - but you just kind of go with it.

I like Mr Bronson in THE MECHANIC.....

Post by: Jrand74 on September 20, 2015, 06:35:30 AM
We had a great closing night.  The audience wasn't as lively as some, but they all had a good time.  The show was good - no big catastrophes or gaffes.....

The biggest laugh - as it usually is - was an ad lib that I did, I know I heard it somewhere, but I don't remember....

Daria is our medium when we have a seance, and later on after she is killed, Felix and I are carrying her around trying to hide the body.  And of course most of HHW is ahead of me now.....but I say:  "She says she's a medium, but I think she's an extra large!"

Afterwards we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a small party.....and Vickie and I won THREE out of FOUR of the trivia games.  They are played on small tablet type computers and everyone is logged in with a special screen name.

The only reason we didn't win the first game, too, is that we didn't get logged on until the third question!

Fortunately over the last few days, I had either watched or deleted most of the programs that were on it, but I don't remember every series that I had scheduled to record.  Hopefully, the information is still available on-line.  I will have to get another DVR...one just is not enough.

Then we had a meal at the Coral Cafe.

They treated me to a fantastic Mexican dinner and i had two pomegranate frozen margaritas and then they sent me into shock and a crying jag: they gave me a new iMac purchasaed by the three of them.

I am still in shock and flooded with such overwhelming gratitude to be blessed with such caring and fantastic friends on New York and on HHW (you know who you are, and I will never forget). Some days when my world seems a carload of crap I need to remember this.

Makes me want to use my favorite line from "Freaks": "One of us! One of us!"

The ravioli were stuffed with four cheeses and then topped with a mushroom and pancetta cream sauce.

Thank you, DR John G! This has been the best birthday ever, I do believe!

For the main course, I had porchetta in a meat sauce. The pork was tender and delicious and salty and as authentic as any I've had since Italy. I was very happy.

Callbacks? They should have offered you the role.  Remember: you are going out there a gimp and you are coming back a star!!

That sounded harsh and i didn't mean it to.  You had asked me about the Fed Ex the other day, and I've been watching for it, but nothing's shown up yet.

Have gotten about halfway through Toni Morrison's "God Help the Child." It's her first contemporary book and it deals, on one level, with child abuse, so it's not exactly a laugh a minute. But the writing is beautiful, and every once in a while a very wicked wit flashes. In one passage, she describes something as being "as pale and sad as light beer."

Glad to know those Vixes are safely ensconced in Florida, enjoying a well deserved vacation.

Vixmom, as nice as the Downtown Disney area still is, I strongly believe they unnecessarily threw away so much of what made it great and better diversified in terms of activities.  The original Pleasure Island was unique and wonderful.  I'm thinking back ten to fifteen years ago.


I agree I have fond memories of the Adventures Club I wish they would bring that back

Bingo.

The Number One thing.

OMG.    Vixmom understands!!!

What a perfect day. The commute to universal took no time at all, the parks were not at all crowded, by 11:30 we had done the most popular rides

Escape from Gringotts
Kings Cross to Hogwarts train ride
Escape from Hogwarts
Dueling Dragons roller coaster
Hogwarts to kings Cross train ride

Lunch was at the Leakey cauldron in Duagon alley

And I am home from a 3-hour dinner at Cafe Frida with my adopted son Joshie, my conductor-pianoist friend John Bell, and my absolute favorite musical director of choice Rob Berman. They treated me to a fantastic Mexican dinner and i had two pomegranate frozen margaritas and then they sent me into shock and a crying jag: they gave me a new iMac purchasaed by the three of them.

I am still in shock and flooded with such overwhelming gratitude to be blessed with such caring and fantastic friends on New York and on HHW (you know who you are, and I will never forget). Some days when my world seems a carload of crap I need to remember this.

Wow, what a fantastic wonderful gift!
