My fifth word guess was something completely different to see if other letters are in the word, because I couldn't think of words that had the second and third letters until I made that completely random guess.

BK wrote in the notes: "So, folks who bought the signed copies will get via e-mail the unexpurgated version of that chapter."
Wow, that's an exciting bonus add-on, BK! Great idea.

John G, hoping the rain didn't cause you problems.

Good morning, all!

The Broadway URBAN COWBOY was quite entertaining, if you went into it knowing what it was going to be and what is was not going to be.
And an interesting memory was of music director and conductor Jason Robert Brown (he was already a Tony-winning celebrity at that time) spending some time onstage during the intermission, checking people's music, doing some kind of work that the music director might do at intermission, even jumping around a bit in entertaining fashion as he moved about the stage. And when members of the audience saw him doing such work and movement during intermission in full view of the audience, quite a few of us sat and watched him as if he were a part of the show.
-
I slept well, much better than I expected. I had a weird moment around 10:30, when I came out of a sound sleep, thinking someone was knocking at the door. For several minutes I seemed to be in a semi-conscious state where the dream seemed real, and I panicked, thinking someone - one person or several- was coming in to harm me. It was quite unsettling. When my panic ceased, I sat up, stepped on Stella who was sleeping on the floor next to the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, checked the cats - both Annabelle and Thatch slept next to me - and went back to sleep.
-
Another memory of the Broadway URBAN COWBOY: Since the ad campaign very much featured an alluring picture of its leading man, the audience in previews was quite skewed towards gay men. And the result was that there was a rather short line for the ladies' room at intermission, but a noticeably longer line than usual at the men's room.

This morning, now that my social security has landed, I will pay some bills and send a few mp3 flles to Miss Kim Criswell, who returned to London last night. After that, it's anyone's guess.

Again, how wonderful that she was able to stop by to visit with you, Larry!

Good morning.
-
I had an experience like that once, Elmore. I heard banging on our motel room door and was sure someone was trying to get in. Everyone else in the room was still sleeping, so it may have been just a dream.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Your situation is quite alarming, DR Laura.
-
And quite an inconvenience, seeing as how YOU didn't do anything wrong.
-
I hope there are consequences for that shady service technician.
-
And how stupid. Did they think they wouldn't be discovered eventually?
-
BK, glad to see you are promoting your new book on social media. I would think this one will appeal to a wide variety of demographic audiences, and I hope you sell a ton.

Very good idea to use social media as much as possible! Did I miss seeing a new place where BK is promoting?

Using the word in a sentence; I use salient solution to store contact lenses.

Good morning, all.

Did I miss seeing a new place where BK is promoting?
I've seen about 7 distinct FB postings in different groups.

I must take out A Patch of Blue and add it to my watch pile.

I got an email from Bill Gates about malaria and at first I thought he was referring to the First Lady.

Indeed.

Nice review in the notes.
-
It is a nice cool morning.
-
I'm up - I've only slept about three hours - don't know why and it's annoying. I went back to bed and then woke up about fifteen minutes ago having maybe some kind of allergy attack. I'll do Flonase in a bit and see if that helps.
-
I've been posting in various Facebook groups and getting lots of likes - sadly, few if any of that results in book sales. I'll never really understand how these things work, unfortunately. And I cannot and won't know about the soft and hardcover sales until I get the royalty check from Author House. The only thing I can track on Amazon is the eBook. I believe that's sold a whopping five copies.
-
I even tried a book promo thing - the ad runs frequently on Facebook and comes with lots of comments from authors who say it works great. Not too expensive. It has resulted, thus far, in what I truly believe are zero book sales.
-
I saw an ad for some AI thing that makes ads that supposedly result in six figure book sales. I see ads for every kind of how to sell a zillion books fifty times a day on Facebook. I think all the comments saying it works are bogus, I think none of it works and the people who do these things have just found a nice grift to sucker hopeful and/or needy authors to spend a lot of time and money on these things. If there were some surefire way of doing this, everyone would be on the NY Times best-seller list.
-
Did you send your press release to Talkin Broadway?
Would they review your book since this book's just about 100% theater music or cabaret show related?
-
Continuing - I have many, many friends, some that I've known for many decades who have never once attended a Kritzerland show and never once bought a book of mine. The one book that sold really well was Benjamin Kritzer - I hired a terrific publicist, did tons of radio shows and signings, but the real sales came from the then popular classmates.com, where I targeted people who went to the three schools I attended and who lived in the neighborhood. We sold so many books that way - I think I ultimately sold just under a thousand books - I personally went through three hundred of them.
-
Nothing after that has come anywhere near.
-
I have no idea who reviews books there anymore. The one book that was reviewed there was Writer's Block. Not even Album Produced by, which is ALL about musical theater. The first memoir did do well and Album Produced by did okay, too.
-
Most people online never see the posts and don't care anyway. It's always shocking to me how many people STILL don't know about our remix of Follies. Or that we've released other major cast albums. Every time there's a Follies thread about the original recording, I remind people and we always get ten or twenty orders from people saying they never knew about it - it's FIFTEEN YEARS AGO and we weren't exactly silent about the release.
-
It's an interesting world. One simply can't afford to hire a publicist for three months (the minimum for it to do any good), and you never sell enough to make any of that money back.
-
And I'm not sure what publicists are left for books, frankly.
-
And how stupid. Did they think they wouldn't be discovered eventually?
I'm not so sure about his story that we included a tip in the total, so he was cashing the check to get the tip and then would give the rest of the cash to the company.
-
When I began the writing books journey it was an entirely different world than now.
-
I don't tip professionals who come to my home. They set their prices.
-
And it's only going to get worse with this AI crap. Everyone thinks AI is so incredible - well, of course it is for lazy, unfocused generations who don't want to do the actual work - they want everything done FOR them - this is what we've devolved to. And yes, I see fifty ads a day for AI stuff - how it can write your book for you, be your Muse. Uh huh. All a grift.
-
I think the guy who assembled the barstools was expecting a tip. Sorry, not for those prices.

Big TV and movie names keep coming to Broadway - Carrie Coon, star of THE GILDED AGE, is coming in the play BUG
"Carrie Coon Is Scratching an Itch, Starring in ‘Bug’ on Broadway
The play was written by Tracy Letts, who is married to Coon. It’s about a down-and-out duo for whom motel room insects prompt paranoia."

Freddie, nothing has changed in the Follies booklet since 2010. If you were in it then, you'll always be in it.

Proofed another ten pages with a humungous number of fixes. Especially important is to keep her factual mistakes factual.

From George:
I'm glad it's not going to rain around here. I have sanded but unfinished shelves in my back yard, ready for me to stain them to (sort of) match the shelves on my bookshelves.
You had better do it fast, or wait until after the heatwave headed our way.

Hmmm, I'm guessing you did not add a tip to the total. I hope this didn't cost you anything since he didn't cash it.

That's pretty sad about the book sales. And this one, of all things!
BK: Did you ever check out Disney-related podcasts?
I asked my housemates again about those. The one they thought was great was called "Inside the Magic". Unfortunately, the guy who'd created it, and really made it worth following, sold it several years ago and it just wasn't the same after that. It, uh, lost the magic.
-
Slept another couple of hours.

Well, since the book package doesn't seem to be in LA yet, guess it's not arriving today. Hopefully tomorrow. It's in New Mexico according to tracking and has been there since yesterday at three. One would have thought it would have left there the same day. Perhaps I'll give Fed Ex a call.

RIP Jamshied Sharifi, gone much too soon. He joined the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble when I left after my grad school degree. He and his fellow new band members took the group to some of its greatest heights. I was so happy when he took over directorship of the FJE when Herb Pomeroy retired. Of course, Boston couldn't hold his musical talents for long. His gifts of music will keep giving joy to all who listen.

One of the suggested videos after the KotSW trailer was this auto-generated voice talking about a new version of Pal Joey, to be called Chez Joey. It was done at Encores! a couple of years ago, and co-directed by Savion Gover and Tony Goldwyn:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yMsiGqxIU1s
-
In a move that's got the theater world buzzing, Arena Stage is reimagining the classic musical Pal Joey and changing its title to Chez Joey. But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Savion Glover and Tony Goldwyn are co-directing Richard LaGravenese's revised version, which sets the musical in 1940s Chicago and reimagines Joey Evans as a Black jazz singer. But why the title change? And what's the real story behind this controversial decision? We dive deep into the scandal, the secrets, and the shocking truth behind Chez Joey....

Jamshied wore so many musical hats as composer, producer, performer, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, and I'm sure I'm leaving some out. For this group he might be most noteworthy for winning the 2018 Tony for Best Orchestrations for The Band's Visit. One of his first awards was Outstanding Performance at the 1983 Notre Dame Collegiate Jazz Festival as the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble's pianist during his senior year.
-
I'm sorry your faucets are still leaking, DR Jane. Do you have any recourse with the folks who did all the work?
They have been great. The plumber has been out multiple times, first trying things to fix it. Then he spoke to Moen who eventually sent new spouts. We haven't told them yet that there isn't a difference.
-
We don't want to go with different faucets as they won't match the others we put in, and we don't expect everything to be replaced when it is working fine.

Vicki Lewis is one of the best things on NewsRadio. BK, any remembrances of working with her? I love her Happy New Year Blues.

Back to pie. I have recipes for Millionaire Pie. The newer versions use cream cheese. Older versions call for oleo and egg.

Back to pie.
One should always be about going back to pie. In my humble opinion.

Peach shortbread squares with brown butter are ridiculously easy to make and are ridiculously welcome wherever you take them. We cannot let stone season pass without making them at least once.

I watched the 2017 version of Journey's End on Fawesome today.
It is very different from the play - but it is very good.
-
Ketchuping?
-
A glass shelf in the display case fell and broke....it's all cleaned up now, and I had two shelves but was only using one.
So when someone comes over and put the little shelf holder in (three stayed in place and one fell to the bottom) I just can't see to put it in the little crevice.....
-
And I'm tired of looking at myself in the mirror.

You make for me?

Hi, Vixmom!
-
Finished Before We Were Yours today. Sad book. And I had a problem with it (the contrast of the haves vs. the have-nots) was grotesque. But I really liked it on an emotional level.
-
Good night, friends.
-
And others.
-
Also watched nine episodes of NewsRadio. Very funny stuff.
-
Good night, Singdaw.

Page turn!

Eight!

With all the talk of reading and books here today, I was shocked when I came across this nugget:

Very interesting. I don't read every day, but I try to read frequently.
At least 15 minutes most days if not longer.. I like to travel and the stories I read take me to many different places
-
Feel bertter vibes for DR George!
I hoipe bk gets his package tomorrow
Sweet dreams one and all...
-
Always had fun working with Vicki - it wasn't a lot, but she's hugely funny and a great gal.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Watched a movie, some Ricky Jay videos and an American Masters thing.
-
And now, before writing some damn notes, I'll proof and cross page 100 - a third of the way through the manuscript.
-
Made it to page 100. Lots of sentence rearranging, as she has a habit of putting what should be the first part of a sentence as the last part - which gets confusing. That sort of thing.
-
I guess I should write some damn notes.

I always thought that it would've been cool if they had done a cross-over episode with Suddenly Susan and had Vicki Lewis' and Kathy Griffin's characters be cousins.

Just a thought. ;)

Today I did feel better, but tonight, I'm just tired. :-\

It may have something to do with all the shelf staining I did:

Ketchuping?
It's a word...well, I've used it here ;D
