It's still Friday.

And it still feels like a Monday, though I’m coming around to believing it’s Friday.

Same here, only getting adjusted by what's on TV.

. I'm hoping I'll be reoriented properly by Sunday!

Congrats DR Jane.

My back is a lot better. But it still does not feel great to sit at my computer. So I am only seeing your news now.

I think we're going to do the work on The Creature - just talked to my editor and he's got two months to play, so why not?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #94 on:** July 05, 2019, 05:57:24 PM »

Excellent.

I was wondering if the original film elements are gone or lost or otherwise impossible to acquire.

So happy you’re doing this, regardless.

In other news, two days ago (these came to me within twenty minutes of each other), my July got booked with playing a two-week run of THE WIZARD OF OZ (RSC) at one jernt, and subbing in the last two performances of a four-week run of PIPPIN (revival version) at another. The latter is the much more demanding challenge, for a few reasons, and I’m very glad to have three weeks to prepare. I’m sitting in to watch it tomorrow evening and will do so again closer to my own dates.

In the midst of those, my director friend and I have our own auditions for CABARET (1998 version) which I’m music directing at one of our 100-seat theaters in the fall.

And I absolutely have to find a few days in which to make my visit to beautiful SW Ohio.

Thanks for the travel vibes. The flight was uneventful and on time.

Perfect.

Not sure what I wanted to watch tonight. So, I popped in the original State Fair.

Spoiler:

I prefer the original story though there are parts of the remake I like very much, especially Darren & Ewell.
In the original it makes sense that he did not stay with the actress while in the remake I did not understand why Wayne didn't end up with Emily.

Back from picking up tape transfers - all watched. The four Playboy bits are fascinating and a couple are more than a little not PC, but I don't care about PC. The little preludes to the roll-in bits are pretty funny, and the roll-in bits are variable.

The Dinah tape had an additional fifteen minutes or more of stuff that wasn't on the reel I posted previously. It includes my I Write the Songs performance and two or three other musical numbers, a bit more of Dinah, glimpses of guest stars - Phyllis Diller and Paul Williams. Since we never interacted with the guests we never met them. I forgot that Lola Falana's brother joined the show for the last two episodes - you see him in a couple of things and also the other cast member who joined at that time, DeeDee Rescher. I had another long sketch with Leland Palmer - not too funny, bad writing - we're fine - and she's my dance partner in a couple of clips.

That's pretty cool!

Then I watched my cut of The Creature Wasn't Nice. It's so much better than the version the producers did and which has been all that was available. That said, I can see exactly what I should have done back then and it would have really helped - has to do with music. So, I'm going to give this to my editor, Marshall Harvey, and I think with his help I'm going to add some music to certain scenes, then if I'm going to release this I'd have to go to Fotokem to do some clean-up work - it's never going to look great - it was transferred in early 1982 to 3/4" tape with that technology. But I think we can help it a bit. IF I decide to all that work, I may have to do a small Indiegogo to fund that work.

Yes! That would really be cool!

Nice view of the park. I haven't been to our minor league team this year. That's always fun.

When I went to the grocery today, there were no pie sheets. First, no blueberries at Costco. Now, this.

I just made pie crust dough and refrigerated it for use tomorrow or Sunday. I really don't like to do that, even in the food processor.

8:18. Another earthquake and this one wasn't so rolling. This one was a shaker - I did my usual "Stop it!" but it didn't stop for about twenty-five seconds. I thought the TV was going to fall so I held onto it, but everything else seems fine now.

It's fine, but his one was scary. Of course, the initial report was 7.1 within fifteen SECONDS of it happening. That was not accurate, however, and whoever is releasing those early figures should be fired. 6.9 - just downgraded. But that's much stronger than yesterday's. I actually have a headache now.

And these stupid people who live to the south of me were outside laughing it up with the kids - they thought it was real funny. I had to bite my tongue to stop from using the M word (MORON).
