Nice to see that Haines His Way still has a niche in cyberspace. Hugs to all. We were wondering when you'd finally get tired of that extremely pretentious Alban Berg fellow.That's my problem listening to Berg: how do you know when they're playing a wrong note?

As with the last sale, I've found a lot of stuff that's cheaper at Planet than DDD (including Criterion titles).I think there is a second code you can use: SAVEThe following were previously posted here:DVDTALKUSATODAYNYTIMESSUPERSALEPRICESEARCHSUMMERSALEYAHOOESPNLATIMESXMSOUTHSIDEWGNJIMDEALNEWSWLSPRICEGRABBERDD1109SAVEAnd I received this by phone.REDI have used DVDTALK and SUPERSALEder Brucer

While I disagreed with him, he didn't do anything unlawful.Yes, the better thing would have been to have a big meeting between him, the board, and some creatives who are particularly strong on the issue - some good could have come out of that. Him resigning could be seen in a bad light, as if he were forced to do so because of zealotry - not what happened, but the pro 8 people would love to use that.No, but his actions (vote and donation) spoke volumes to a good number of people who work in his theater. He pretty much relegated them to second-class citizens and said they weren't good enough to have equal rights.

AFAIK, the DDD codes do not work at DVDPlanet, which is what we were talking about.

Today I am going out for dinner and then to The Byham Theater to see (and hear) Miss Idina Menzel. She has an early start-time (7:30), so it will be an early dinner and an early night.

DS Betsy has begun using "friend" as a verb now that she has become addicted to Facebook. In fact, she asked me last night, "Who is Jose Simbulan, and why has he friended me?"

Today I went for a walk and saw....
I had a wonderful visit with Jo Loesser at the Loesser office, and a nice phone conversation with my sister-in-law Jo about how the closing went. My check is in the mail - hooray! - and I'm thinking that my trip to Ohio will run from Dec 13-Dec 28. That will get me to Miami University to visit before Christmas break, allow me to hang out with Jo and Randy and the family I want to see, and get me back to Manhattan before New Year's eve. As for work while I'm there, I can ship the BABES IN TOYLAND materials to Ohio, if I've not finished the final edits before leaving, or whatever act of THE MOST HAPPY FELLA I'm on. I'm getting excited about this trip.
