Sorry if I missed this, but is your ticket to The Wild Party part of a subscription? Maybe you can exchange it. Maybe you can exchange it anyway...can't hurt to ask. Too bad about On the Town. I hope you try again. It's wonderful.

But he did win an Emmy for Best Game Show Host for Celebrity Name Game. That's...good.

A night of tears for me. I was crying by the end of the tribute to Dorothy. And I was sobbing by the time Ray started crying. This is gonna be tough.

Not a big donut fan because they usually give me a sugar headache. However, there was a diner-type place in downtown DC called Reeves and I loved their blueberry donuts! Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), they closed a while ago. So what opens right next door to the old Reeves location? Astro Donuts and Fried Chicken. The creme brulee donuts are fabulous. I've yet to try the chicken, but I hear it's great.

Huh. I guess I should watch the first season then...

That article about the music was wonderful. Thanks so much for posting it.

Thanks for pointing out that sidebar HelenBaby. Great read, and I learned that Biff's real name is James Jackson Henderson Jr. I love learning new things!!

I guess this goes in this thread... Watching the local news (yeah, I"m old) and they showed a preview of the President on the show tonight. Then they showed what happened during a commercial break when the White House press photographers went up on stage to take pictures. It was like a herd of vultures descending on the scene. Oy...

They did pack in the clips, and for that, I'm grateful. However, there are soooooo many clips, they could do this every night this week and not repeat one! Thoroughly enjoyed the show. I just want more.

So much fabulous music! I thought I'd be posting more during the show, but I just want to watch.

In case anyone is interested, there is a theatre thread here on PTV http://forums.previously.tv/topic/9659-theatre-talk-in-our-own-little-corner/ Any and all questions and discussions welcome!!

I'm already crying...

That's what I heard too, SingerIslander. No mention of Will Ferrell. I went and tried to see if he'd been rescheduled, but I was too tired and gave up quickly. Hope they manage to get him on at some point. Lovely show last night. I was just a tad disappointed that Ralph Stanley wasn't there since he'd been listed in the promos. However, the music was perfect as is!

If you want to plan in advance, you can check BroadwayBox.com, or sign up at Playbill.com (it's free, they just want your email address). They have discount tickets to a lot of shows that you can get if you want to plan. The discounts aren't quite a good as the TKTS booth, but if there's a particular show you're interested in, it could help. Have fun!!

Family... can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em. The end. Quof, do you have Papyrus stores where you live? They usually have cards that are off the beaten path, but not too out there.

One of the few drawbacks of not having over-the-air reception anymore. It aired here on the Washington channel, but that doesn't help since the cable doesn't work so well with rabbit ears...

I really liked that interview. And the fact that the pictures were all in black and white. Loved the cups!

I had to listen on the radio today because even though it was the free game of the day, I'm in the blackout zone. I have to say, it sounded the same on the radio. The O's radio broadcast never plays up the crowd noise. The Nats broadcast is much louder. I really enjoy Gary Thorne. It really is too bad no one was allowed in today. The weather was absolutely perfect for baseball.

Bob was my first 'head. He holds a special place in my heart. And actually, Daffy Duck is the Oriole Bird. At least I think that's the one you're looking at. I don't have Wally (although I bought one for a friend), but I do have a Phanatic. All the mascots are in the white shelving unit. My boss is great, and everyone else humors me :-). My office is a "tour stop" when we have clients or guests in. It's kinda funny. No lock - they're for fun. If something happens (like the cleaning person accidentally knocking one off a shelf with his backpack vacuum), it's okay. I try not to stress over it. Certainly nowhere near as serious as what's going on in Baltimore tonight. Oy...

Okay, who kidnapped the real Wiz team and replaced it with guys who can play?? That said, Allez Les Boulez!!!

Thanks! It's fortunate that I have understanding bosses. Now I just need more room - it's a new baseball season!!

Here's an overview. It's tough to get them all in one shot.

Jim Palmer just told us that Mark Buehrle recently won his "two hundredth and two hundred and oneth" games. Gary Thorne let it pass... King of Birds, I will attempt to post a picture or two of my collection. I have more of the local guys (just because I'm here to attend the games), but I take any and all offers! We're going to Seattle in August to knock off one more stadium, and it worked out fabulously that there's a Jamie Moyer 'head giveaway, then 2 days later, the O's are in town. Yay!

Seems to be. Last season (or the one before), the Nats gave away a Jason Werth gnome and this season the O's are giving a way a Buck Showalter gnome. I can't possibly start collection gnomes. The 200+ bobbleheads I have are all I can keep up with.

Welcome back aradia!! Hope you had a lovely vacation. That's quite a lot of work you did there. So much to absorb...I'm gonna have to back and reread. I really need to work on my attention span :-)
