I was awakened in the wee hours by a cat (not naming any names here) tossing a hairball.

DR Elmore has so much to look forward to!

Oh joy

As I left I heard the new fella ask, who is that? Is that one of the owners?!

Funny 😊

It's nice to know the Vixter was so well thought of that nearly two years after she left she's still being asked after

Nice but not surprising.

Well it's not nice out, but at least it's not snow

Unfortunately when I woke up today there was a little "surprise". It's not much snow. Maybe only 1 cm. But it was supposed to rain NOT snow. Not happy I have to get my boots out again.

It doesn't sound like enough to need boots.

Doing good work, even putting in that extra time, can pay off. I worked at a summer job when in law school, a really great law firm, and the cases were exciting to inexperienced me at least, so I worked until all hours because I was having a ball work-wise. The hiring attorney even made a donation to a campus extracurricular group I was involved in, and called me up to have lunch each time he came to campus to recruit in following years. I chose the CPA-firm route instead, as the CPA firm was giving me a chance to work on the AT&T break-up (which so ended up annoying me as a regular phone customer, but totally fascinated me as one of the great business learning opportunities so i grabbed it; it felt once in a lifetime at the time. (The CPA firm paid much less but since my parents didn't mind me still living with them at 23, my living expenses were very low).

But years later, a wonderful actress in "The Last Starfighter" premiere (and on the Kritzerland album, so there's a HHW connection) was working at that firm, the firm's name came up on caller ID when the actress called us during her lunch break - and I said to her I wonder if Charlie remembers me from over 20 years ago; she was sitting right outside Charlie's office, so she just asked him, and he got on the phone as if he remembered me from last year.

This is a wonderful story

Weren't some people wondering something like that when you had your best-in-the-house table for one at 54 Below?

It is very thick. So I definitely needed boots. It might have been 2 or 3 cms. I was just going by what it looked like out the window. But after going outside it was a bit of a mess.

I'd been looking forward to today and tomorrow at home with no commitments, but yesterday's severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings kept me from doing an errand that MUST be done today. All I have to worry about today is snow squalls...

Cold today - lots of wind and rain and thunder last night.

I want warmer weather for our ANNIE auditions this Saturday and Sunday....but I don't think I'll get my want.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #74 on:** April 04, 2018, 09:08:41 AM »

I came "this close" to playing three days of ANNIE auditions just now, but they're on the same weekend we open the family show, so I get to miss all of that fun this year.

BK, why do you think you were the only person in LA who experienced this Smellovision? Were you alone in the theatre when it played?

I'm confused

Well, let's just say that no one has ever admitted to it since that time and I suspect I probably was the only young person - it had a very short run here and did poorly. I've talked to many who saw it in the 80s when it aired on TV with scratch-n-sniff cards in a seventy-minute version, but no one has ever come forward and said they'd actually seen it during its run here. And of course we weren't alone in the theater. There is a reason I was asked to do the commentary on the Blu-ray just as there's a reason I've been asked to do this interview - but I'll be interested to hear what this other gent has to say.

I'm up, I'm up - I have no idea how much sleep other than not enough. I guess I drank too much liquid because I was up what seemed like every fifteen minutes using the loo.

bk · « **Reply #78 on:** April 04, 2018, 10:12:32 AM »

And extremely weird dreams.

And a bit of congestion this morning.

And I was showing off my ignorance of centimeters

Had a good phone conversation and the Kritzerland show issues are resolved and we're back on for May and June. And to address FJL's idea - our audience has been really loyal and likes the fact that we're at the same place, the same time (mostly) every month and we're the only show to have ever done it for this very long period of time. However, for the past year I've known that my plan is to get to 100 shows, which will happen mid next year and then either stop completely or, more likely, that we'll do three yearly specials, which would keep it alive but me much easier on me.

I hope it stops snowing before I get to Maine at the end of the month.

Are the May and June shows back on at The Federal?
