I ran across Fred Ebb in the most surprising of ways this morning while researching the Looking For Mr. Goodbar murder case.

The fellow who was friends with the murderer, who the murderer in fact confessed to, was a guy who knew Ebb and, not sure whether to believe his friend or not, called his other (non-murderous) pal, Fred Ebb, for advice. He flies out to LA to tell Ebb what’s happened. They end up getting in touch with the guy’s therapist who convinced the guy to come back to NY and talk to police, which he eventually did. Crazy stuff.

Oh, my goodness! 😲

Idaho is technically my neighbor state. Gonna have to knock that one out. I was close once, while in Wyoming.

I've driven through that, but that reminds me that when I was going to Western Washington University, the Concert Choir performed at the National Music Educators Association conference in Indiana, and we "toured" our way up to Chicago, so I've also been to Indiana and Illinois.

I did have zero show up for a one-act I did once. So we didn’t do the show.

Not even as a rehearsal?

Today I interviewed an author from Brooklyn who does cemetery tours. Very knowledgeable lady, good info about cemetery history, good conversation. Will fashion a story out of it. Maybe just a Q&A.

That's pretty cool.

The one time my sister, niece and I went to London in 2001, one thing my sister wanted to do was to go to and OLD cemetery.  We found one close to our hotel that had gravestones from the 1600s!

Maybe? I can’t actually remember. Probably just all wanted to get home out of the snow. It was a theatre space across the street from Port Authority bus terminal on 42nd st.

I was watching an Outside the Box on kritzerland youtube, and I think it was one with Hal Linden, in the intro phone bit, he says, “I don’t know what to say.”

To which BK replies, “Say yes, like in the delightful Kander and Ebb musical 70 Girls 70.”

Therefore it was always BK’s destiny to direct that show.

;D

I was looking briefly at a sports info job at Western Washington U. Looked like a lovely campus. Did you like it there? I thought also of applying for an adjunct theatre professorship there.

I did enjoy going to Western and the Bellingham city.

I don't know why I didn't get a job in the local library there, but I didn't.  Who knows what my life would be like now. :-\

You’d probably be sad to see what’s become of the Bellis Fair Mall.

That's too bad.  It was still pretty new when I lived there (1986-1989).

The South Sound Mall is no longer a mall, just two or three big stores called South Sound Center, and the westside's Capital Mall has lost some businesses, but at least that seems to be hanging on.
