After the funny Flynn and Provenza episode, we get a very sad and disturbing one...

Jose not only knows where to eat in New York, he knows just about every actor in the city

One of the perks of visiting the reservoir, I have heard.

Thank goodness it is payday...I was about to make my reservations for the poor house.

TOD:

CD(car) - audiobook, Maeve Binchey's Scarlet Feather, read by Barbara Caruso.

DVD - Neptune's Daughter, starring Esther Williams. One of the books I read while convalescing was What Would Barbra Do? - How Musicals Changed My Life, in which author Emma Brockes talked at great length about EW.

And speaking of the Reservoir... It's actually a nicer day here in NYC. Could be a good day for a trip to Central Park, or back to MoMA - I want to walk through the model homes - or both. We shall see.

TOD: "The Letter". Capitol released finally on CD. Judy is at her peak (same time farme as "Star is Born"). It's one of those great theme albums (like "Manhattan Tower"--but better). Gordon Jenkins' music, harmonies, arrangements, lyrics and his marvelous use of French horns (The players must have hated him for the orchestrations-- but what glory for me).

VHS: "The Pleasure of His Company"

DR Kerry - are you taking it easy today after overdoing it yesterday?

I do, too, DR Edi. It made me think that the entire production must be very colorful!

TOD: Nothing.

It is a nice cloudy day today. I am doing yardwork. It is warm.

JMK · « **Reply #103 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:22:41 AM »

It's on the overcast side here, too.

Media check:

CDs: still digging through months of backlog material. Got through "Adrift in Macao" and finally all of "High Fidelity" over the past day.

DVDs: getting through a bunch of the new CBS Video boxed sets of tv shows I have to review. Did "Dave's World" (music altered/replaced a la "The Fugitive," if you care), and am now doing "Caroline in the City." Betsy and I started the Blu-Ray of "There Will Be Blood" two nights ago and are enjoying it. Fascinating to see a film go that long without dialogue up front.

I'm up again - I guess I got eight hours of sleep all told, but it sure doesn't feel like it.

DR ELMORE watch your mailbox.

DRGINNY is now my friend on FaceBook, all of the kids in Singin' In the Rain clicked on me so now my profile looks a bit suspicious with mostly teenaged girls as "friends."

TOD - Car CD Player Legally Blonde...

Jury is still out. They asked for lunch menus so I'm assuming this is a good time for me to go eat lunch

Jrand73 · « **Reply #108 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:54:38 AM »

Yes my suit is purple....my shirt is a lovely magenta...and my tie is yellow/orange. This is my mostly second act costume.

DR MBARNUM that is not a cap, that is a beret....I wear a brown one in the first act, I also wearing riding pants and a pit helmet in one scene, and of course my tuxedo with my black beret to the big premiere...with a beautiful moo cow b/w cummerbund.

Yes - I am dressed conservatively by comparison. We should have some more pictures to post next week.

TCB had asked if I'd list DVDs here before putting them on Craig's List - I have about thirty pulled so far and will do so this afternoon.

Some rehearsal pictures at this link. If you click on the thumbnail, you will a really BIG picture....

The "MakeUp" picture link doesn't work, but the others do.

I think I'll go back to writing liner notes right now - I'm certainly not ready to jog.

I smell a hit CD!

Positive verdict vibes for DR CILLA LIZ.

DR KERRY - The Pleasure of His Company is a favorite movie of mine, I think Fred Astaire and Debbie Reynolds are a dynamite team, father and daughter wise - and Tab Hunter and Debbie have some real chemistry. And Lilli Palmer and Charles Ruggles - and what more could you ask for? I think it's a terrific sort of forgotten movie.

DR JRand - Just remember, that "Ignore" button comes in handy.

For a different type of lobby display, I asked everyone to bring a photo of a relative or ancestor from the 1920's - the silent era - and I have been merging them with a photo of the cast/crew member....

Since I am at work right now, I can't give an example, but I will post one when I get home.

I have seen some very interesting pictures and heard some great stories..... Even though some of them think that the 1934 Chicago World's Fair took place in the 1920's....it WAS a good picture.

And some man brought in a picture of himself and his wife taken at one of those resorts dressed in gangster regalia. It's an eclectic group.
