  1. The Historical Society website says the train exhibit goes until February 2nd. I guess I'll find out when I get there 😉 My best friend who lives in Washington Heights won't go to Brooklyn, so we have a running joke about how far away it is and I need to bring my passport. I love the Transit Museum - and I'm going to see Streetcar at BAM in March, so I'm good with Brooklyn! PS - do you have a good dinner suggestion around BAM by any chance? TIA
  2. That, and Pride & Protest are definitely on the agenda. They also just got a carousel horse (replacing the Waldorf Astoria clock) and there's the holiday train thing that I love.
  3. The NY Historical Society is my favorite museum anywhere. Don't ask me why, I just love it, so we always go there. Possibly the Met - I have to see what's showing. I also like the Transit Museum, but Brooklyn is soooooo far away. 😄 Thanks for the CH link - that looks really interesting. There's a good chance we might wander over to see it!

    I only got 9. And I haven't even started drinking yet.
  5. We're going on the 24th. Then Maybe Happy Ending on the 25th and Eureka Day on the 26th. Museums and lots of food in the times not covered by theater. Can't wait!!
  6. I was actually shocked at the barcodes thing. I do vaguely remember the antiquities thing, so thanks for the articles as a reminder.
  7. I think the Greenland thing has to do with natural resources that would benefit Elonia.
  8. Ah... I see. He's known to be somewhat eccentric, stemming, I guess, from his genius talent. No one really knows how or why he makes his choices. I was so taken by the performance, I didn't realize he was hugging the corner. Agree the ending was emotional. The honorees seemed touched by the performances. I was hoping Mavis would make an appearance onstage, but I was happy to see her there. I did ask Mr. ebk how long the show would be on CBS. He didn't know (and neither do his brothers), so I looked it up. Next year is the last year of the current contract, so we have to hope the head honchos at the KC don't screw it up going forward.
  9. I don't think Dave cares about being cool. And Mr. ebk has just cranked up the volume of the TV. I think that means he's enjoying this. (As am I).
  10. A bedspread? Dave coming out of a van. Perfect!
  11. Agree. It wasn't the best tribute, but it would have been helped by skipping the song... I am amazed that I know of all of Coppola's movies, but I'm not sure I've actually seen any of them. Mr. ebk is a huge Deadhead, so ... here we go!
  12. Coppola yelling "Yo, Adrian" at Talia Shire when she came out onstage - ha!
  13. I think everyone should have been singing along with whoever that was singing The Impossible Dream. It only could have helped. Oh, as for Savion Glover, tap dancing requires a special surface, so that's why you'll see tap dancing done on small platforms built on bigger stages. Unless the entire show is tap dancing, then they use a different stage floor.
  14. Savion Glover has certainly gotten older since I saw him as a child on Broadway. Which is to be expected, I guess... 😄 And, was that Mavis in the audience a bit ago? I love her!!! And, this is a fabulous medley happening right now.
  15. Oh look - Cal Ripken in the audience. And I was shocked...until I remembered that he bought into my baseball team which is majority-owned by David Rubenstein, the chairman of the KC. Makes sense now.
  16. That whole dress kinda hit me in the face. Not a fan. However, this dress that Queen Latifah is wearing now is great.
  17. Which kinda goes with my previous post - I saw the Imelda Staunton production on PBS and let's just say I won't be rewatching. I'll be sure to let you know how I feel about Audra at the end of January 😄
  18. I like the pieces of Queen Latifah's outfit. I think maybe the cummerbund was awkwardly placed, maybe? Love Bonnie Raitt. And Brandi, who sounded lovely. And Emmylou, who also sounded lovely. The next segment should be more upbeat. The show has always been on CBS, but I don't know how long the contract goes. I'll check with the brothers-in-law - they'll probably know.
  19. And there is was - and it was fab. Love Julia's dress. Wasn't as fond of Queen Latifah's outfit.
  20. Anyone besides me getting ready to watch? I hope it's as good as the newspaper reports made it sound.
  21. I was hoping you would! I felt adrift during the show because if I don't post immediately when something strikes me as post-worthy, I totally forget it. So I count on you - and everyone else - to spur my poor memory. I enjoyed the show. I thought the first Sabado Gigante was better than this one, but this one was fine. I used to like the joke swap, but the most recent ones haven't been as good, and I really didn't like last night's - except for Scarlett. Not the jokes, just Scarlett. I thought all the guests were great. Loved the monologue. And I really liked Hozier. I don't think I knew anything about him other than his name, but I was entertained. Thanks, @Galileo908for your much appreciated recaps. Have a lovely holiday everyone!!
  22. Or maybe it's amazing to them, which is all that really matters. Also, Darren Criss was on CBS Sunday Morning today. He's delightful. I'm really looking forward to seeing Maybe Happy Ending!

    On purpose?
  24. There's nothing quite as satisfying as a life-long sports grudge! I do applaud you all for highlighting Queens pride to get the bad taste of tfg out of people's minds, though. I'll get on that bandwagon.
