I started a new Faulkner called Knights Gambit. It's six tales of murder collected together.

And I shall have to presume it was a good one. What I could hear over the monitor was sounding a HELL of a lot better than even yesterday evening.

About twelve weeks ago the helper told me we were completely out of Follies.  I was quite surprised by this news, frankly, and said I couldn't understand how that could be and that I was pretty sure we had some stored at the pressing plant.  But he told me we had to take it off sale and so I did, at Kritzerland and at Amazon.  Instantly, two disgusting dealers on Amazon upped their prices - one to $250 and one to $350.  People were writing me and I had a couple here so I was able to take care of them.  So, yesterday I looked at our inventory sheet and there are now almost 200 at the office - which means the helper never told me he'd checked and that the plant was indeed storing them.  So, this afternoon I put it back on Amazon and made it live on Kritzerland again.  And posted on all the Facebook groups.  And we got like twenty orders instantly, from people who were basically saying, "How didn't I know about this?"  These are musical theatre fans, Sondheim fans, cast album fans, and this thing got a humungous amount of publicity, we had to repress it, and it's been posted about relentlessly every time there's a Follies thread anywhere.  And yet, "How didn't I know about this?"  I couldn't believe it really, but orders are always appreciated.  So, when we do our next show release announcement in a week or so, my intention is to tub-thump Follies again, along with some things we've found - Gone With the Wind, Camelot, Show Girl...   all those have been OOP for months now but it was the same story - we had some at the plant.

That's great, BK!  Of course, we could be on page 53 by now if you had broken this up into smaller posts. ::)

Tonight, I watched the new episode of "Documentary Now" where they spoofed the Company recording session.

On Late Night with Seth Meyers, Richard Kind performed live the song that his character sang on the "Documentary Now" episode.
