Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Gershwin and were magic, and now it is time for you to post until the magic cows come home.

Today is the final performance of, then strike for, Olympia Family Theater's production of Cinder Edna!  It's been a lot of fun!

Post by: George on June 03, 2018, 01:10:52 AM
Before today's performance, however, I'm going to the combined "Long Hundred" Birthday party for my friends Rick and Scott!  They are both turning 60 within a few weeks of each other (this adds up to 120, or the aforementioned "Long Hundred") and they've been together for about half of their lives (and legally married almost five years)!  Their party starts at noon, so I can go for the first 45 minutes or so, then head out to Cinder Edna.

After the show will be the strike, which shouldn't be too difficult.  I think the set is being left up for their summer theater camp, so us actors will just have to deal with costumes and props. :)

Closing day vibes for DR GEORGE.

We are having our Season Kick Off Open House during which some songs from ANNIE will be performed....but not in costume the director says....so we will be standing around in our T-shirts singing....

But first a program committee wherein we will choose a season that makes sense....then we will go to a board meeting where everyone else will say they don't like our shows....and then someone will say: "We did 'Beans for Breakfast' in the 3rd grade and everyone loved it."  And then everyone will say "Oh I love 'Beans for Breakfast' let's do that!"  And we will end up with 'Beans for Breakfast' on the schedule three times.....

I know it's not Wednesday, but I've a question for BK.

On the Bagley albums, will you be fixing some of the vocal performances? Two examples, both from Cole Porter Revisiteds:

1. Karen Morrow's voice seems to crack on a word somewhere in Vol. 2, I think it's on "I Now It's Not Meant for Me."
2. Bobby Short misses his cue for the last word on "Red, Hot and Blue" and seems to whisper it as a question at the last second. Vol. 1

In ways, they're part of the charm of the series and a sign of how much Bagley did on a budget.

Yup.  Times have changed.

We cancelled our local paper in Ashland, not because we didn't get the paper but that they kept delivering it when we put a hold on it while we traveled.  We actually had to remove our rural paper box because they then continued to deliver the paper to get their money for the ads.

I'm sure Kate Swenson's name as director been on the main Mainstage page, which lists the whole 2017-18 season's shows, for a long time.  She was definitely on the audition announcement in February.

It was a lovely Scranton wedding.  It was outdoors, and the weather last night was a little muggy, but people took off jackets and ties and many seemed to be pleased at the excuse to do that once the ceremony ended and the reception and dinner started.  The evening never cooled down, and I noticed that a few of the men were even in shorts before dinner was served, so I'm assuming (?) they had gone to their cars and changed.  (In case that old Joan Rivers joke about her husband being underdressed for dinner comes to mind, they all did keep their shirts on.)


Title: Re: THAT GERSHWIN MAGIC
Post by: FJL on June 03, 2018, 12:03:04 PM
It was a buffet, so maybe "Dinner was served" is technically wrong.  I only noticed some of the clothing shifts because my cousins (my cousin the groom Karl and my brand new cousin his bride Maria) were very nice about seating me at a table close to the food.  :)

TCB, from what I've seen, they tend to post bios from the next production as the previous production ends. (PROOF ends this weekend.)  At least six (more?) bios seem to be missing; I'd thought the web person was being considerate to the "on time" people, in not hold up posting the bios of the people who got them in on the original schedule until all the bios are in.

The Joan Rivers joke was something like:  My husband came to dinner in a T-shirt.  I said “No! No, no, no! At least go put on some underpants.  If not for my sake, then for your mother's.  Or we'll never be allowed in this restaurant again."
Title: Re: THAT GERSHWIN MAGIC

You know, of all the things people have been posting over the last twenty-four hours...

The one thing that stands out the most disturbingly...?

Well, I’ll tell you.

It’s vixmom and the enchiladas. Or lack of same. It’s like a major disruption in the Force or something.

You're missing out!  Get thee to a Mexican restaurant!

I am afraid my tastes run more to Taco Bell than authentic

Perhaps when we see Desperate Measures in July, we should have a Mexican dinner after?

YES. No question.

I was trying to remember what my first Mexican food was. No idea, really. But it almost certainly had to be on the order of Taco Bell and the like. And when I was finally taken to a “real” Mexican restaurant? Bliss.

I have come to the conclusion that I do not care for mole sauce on my enchiladas.  I prefer Salsa verde but the standard ranchera will do. 

I always order whole beans instead of refried, unless it is black friend beans.  There was a restaurant in Ashland, that sadly closed, and the owner prepared them for me for a special treat.  I was pleasantly surprised.

DR FJK I am pleased the wedding was lovely.  What is that cake?

Delicious Chocolate Something or Other.  It was so good that everyone seemed to have forgotten that a part had to be saved for the first anniversary.  Since our table was close to the food, it was clear no one thought about that.  Before it got completely devoured, I found Maria and told her it was going fast, and she got right on saving two pieces to freeze for next year.

It was helpful fro f\uture reference to note at some point that Maria's twin sister is 2 inches taller than Maria.  They look so alike. Last night, of course, Maria was the one in the bridal dress, but in general, they are hard to tell apart.

I think mine was either Taco Bell or Chi-Chi's, which wasn't any more Mexican than Taco Bell. Then, in Florida, even the Mexican food was more Cuban than anything. I don't think I had really good Mexican until I moved here. That was almost 20 years ago. I think that has changed somewhat. Still, San Antonio's version is light years better than Austin and elsewhere.

The worst I've had was in Ireland.

Congrats George on a successful Cinder Edna run!

Thanks, Fred!  We ended with a sold out house and a great performance. ;D

Wonderful.

I just found out my friend was outside when the ash was falling.  She doesn't feel great but nothing bad.  She was unable, so far, to clean up the mess in her little courtyard and said it is difficult to take her dogs out there.  Hopefully it will be easier to clean once it dries.  Someone told her it would turn to cement.  I sure hope not.

Yikes!

Yup.  She is able to take them out for quick potty breaks but of course they are taking ash and mud back inside.

I need to think about packing.

I just realized that a Cinder Edna cast photo was posted on FB. Here it is (not linked from FB, though):

I almost missed you with the crown covering half your face ;)

How's this, Jane?  It was taken in the lobby after today's show:

Yes, now I can see you 😊😊

I have never eaten an enchilada .  To the best of my knowledge I have never even seen one

You're missing out!  Get thee to a Mexican restaurant!

I am afraid my tastes run more to Taco Bell than authentic

Perhaps when we see Desperate Measures in July, we should have a Mexican dinner after?

YES. No question.

I was trying to remember what my first Mexican food was. No idea, really. But it almost certainly had to be on the order of Taco Bell and the like. And when I was finally taken to a “real” Mexican restaurant? Bliss.

I've got the place!

I'll be having the enchiladas Rojas por favor

I suggest trying 2 different fillings in the enchiladas since you don't know which you prefer.

I have come to the conclusion that I do not care for mole sauce on my enchiladas.

Well that's hardly surprising seeing as you're a vegetarian .

I have seen, and eaten it, served over cheese enchiladas.  Often it is too spicy for me.

However even as a card carrying carnivore I have never been tempted to eat a mole

Now I get the joke 😀

You know, of all the things people have been posting over the last twenty-four hours...

The one thing that stands out the most disturbingly...?

Well, I’ll tell you.

It’s vixmom and the enchiladas. Or lack of same. It’s like a major disruption in the Force or something.

I'm remembering the misheard Rupert Holmes lyric "If you like bean enchiladas and getting caught in the rain."

LOL

Mine was probably Jack in the Box tacos....those frozen monstrosities that they would deep fry and give to you dripping oil


I love Jack In The Box tacos!

I watched JURASSIC WORLD on NBC tonight.  I hated all the commercials, but at least, I didn’t have to see the people being eaten.

When I was growing up, we didn’t have Taco Bell in Washington.  I think my first Mexican(?) food was Taco Time.  It is still a step up from Taco Bell, but for fast food it is not cheap.

Tom, do you go to Costco?  I've gotten Taco Time gift cards for myself at Costco (and for Meconi's Subs, and Mercato's).  You can get $50 in gift cards for only $40!  That's a 20% savings, and over time, that savings adds up!  AND the gift cards never expire!

I may have to join Costco again.  I let my membership lapse when I was just using a wheelchair.  I would get worn out just going thru the parking lot.  Now that I have the scooter is isn’t quite so daunting.

The gift cards are definitely worth it. :)

Fred, have you been looking at motels in Bellevue?  That would be a lot better than staying by the airport.  Trivago had a (I think it was) Ramada Inn for $120.00 a night, and it was five miles from Redmond.
