World Premiere Video :) -
This new YouTube parody was inspired by New York Times stories last week on some wrongful arrests New York police were making using facial recognition techniques.

With police intrusiveness on people's minds - Maybe a show tune parody can make the iffy use of facial recognition techniques more palatable to the public?

Clever and funny, but scary because it’s true!

The news:
My offer was accepted and we open escrow on Tuesday.

I really wasn’t at all sure we’d get here. My agent and I both tried to say, “This is it, fella. It’s now or never” without saying the words and remaining cordial. I don’t fully trust it, but we’re proceeding.

Reading with interest the reports about the reimagining of The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere.

Ooo...what have you been reading??

Peter Filichia's review of THE LAST STARFIGHTER gave us one of the best quotes we have: "The 1984 film may be a cult favorite, but the musical has potential to meet much more success."


Very cool, Freddie!  I, very fortunately, still have the DVD that I was able to get autographed by both Lance Guest and Johnathan Betuel (the writer of the movie) when both were at the Village Theatre's New Musicals festival in Issaquah when the musical played there!


Really good stuff!  Thanks again for being there, George!

Thanks for the tickets!  It was a wonderful weekend of theater, as well as the Q&A with many of the authors and you and Skip!

I played the role of "security" at church this morning. I was watching for people and was able to lock the doors if necessary.

The pastor had an angry phone call this week. The caller wouldn't hurt anyone, but might start verbal shit.

Only security for a loud mouth, not a dangerous person.

I was hanging around the lobby so I could send him a quick text if said person arrived -- just so he wouldn't be caught off guard.

Will you need to do this next Sunday as well?

I’m at Fort Clark near Brackettville.

Are you staying there?  I looked it up, it seems like a nice place to stay as well as an interesting one.

Yes. Staying in a renovated barracks from 1850.
