  1. Wish I could help with tickets, but I work in the sports industry and that's how I got ours. Good luck!
  2. We went to Wimbledon in 2003 and stayed at the Rembrandt Hotel across the street from the Victoria and Albert Museum. It's near everything, including transit, and doesn't seem too expensive. I just checked and it seems to have a pretty good rating with Google reviewers. That's the last time we were in London, so that's the best I can offer right now. Good luck and have fun!!
  3. Two-show day at the Kennedy Center for me. Matinee of Chess, then West Side Story in Concert with the NSO. Hope the weather doesn't make the day too difficult. I saw Something Rotten last week. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wonder how people who don't get all the in-jokes enjoy it. There are a lot of in-jokes...
  4. I never came back to thank you for this recommendation. So...thanks!!! Love the stuff - it smells wonderful and works as well as anything else on my hair.
  5. I wish I'd enjoyed the show as much as @Galileo908. I found myself wondering if the same people who wrote last week's show that I thought was lots of fun also wrote this one. I liked Chastain. There were parts of almost every sketch that I did like, but more parts of them that I didn't. I'm not sure what went wrong, but tonight didn't quite come together for me. Didn't hate it, but didn't like it much.
  6. As much as I love Larry, I'm not sure I can watch Real Time... I'll read the forum and decide. Larry was featured on a short segment of last week's The Big Listen on NPR - a podcast about podcasts.
  7. Love Rachel's new sign off - "That's Weird" So perfect.
  8. Today is the 80th Anniversary of Benny Goodman's concert at Carnegie Hall https://www.npr.org/2018/01/16/578312844/how-benny-goodman-orchestrated-the-most-important-concert-in-jazz-history My favorite number
  9. I'm definitely a wine and beer gal, but recently, the folks in my office have turned Friday beer hour into Friday bourbon hour. I'm no connoisseur, but I certainly don't hate it. So, all because of @JTMacc99, I went out and bought a bottle of the Knob Creek smoked maple bourbon. And it's really helping me get through this ridiculous cold/flu-y thing I have at the moment. I'm sure it's helping more than any of the actual medicine I've taken. So, thanks @JTMacc99. I guess... since I really needed to expand my drinking horizons :-)
  10. I will have several more drinks before I click on that YT link. Thanks - I think...
  11. The theme song haunts me to this day, in that I can't actually remember the words past the first line, but I can't forget the damn thing either.
  12. Sorry @Mindthinkr and thanks @Spunkygal. Should have gone with another link, but the NYT came up first and I didn't think it through.
  13. Mr ebk's favorite tomato sauce. Really easy and really good! https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015178-marcella-hazans-tomato-sauce
  14. Finally watched this. I have nothing substantive to add, but I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Some sketches didn't work as well as others (ATM) and I wasn't particularly fond of Halsey, but I thought Sam Rockwell was charming and totally into it. I hope he comes back at some point, now that he's a big-time deal and all.
  15. Just watched this and it was marvelous. It's so refreshing to hear two adults having an adult conversation on my TV. Love John Lewis. Laughed at Malia telling Dave that he looks like someone who knows how to party. And that Obama was the one who knew what they wanted in the parting shot, not Mr. TV Guy. Can't wait for the next show!!

    Oh my goodness - that was beautiful
  17. I agree. I couldn't be happier that he's back on the TV somewhere! I've tried to keep up with what he's been doing the past couple of years and there's a lot of good work there. I'm really looking forward to this show.
  18. I wear a watch (I have about 2 dozen watches - love them!), 3 rings and an ear cuff. In the winter, I'll wear a fun brooch on a sweater, but I don't usually wear them in summer because they pull on a thinner fabric. When I dress up, I'll sometimes wear earrings and a bracelet.
  19. I think I spotted her and Mr Babs - I mean Brolin - sitting a bit farther back earlier in the evening. I guess they just moved up later.
  20. I really liked Three Billboards. Now I have to go and see everything else. And I kinda missed Seth after the opening. I seem to remember Tina and Amy (and other hosts) being around more.
  21. I do love Frances McDormand. She's just so weird. And she just ordered tequila for the table!
  22. He did finally crack a smile there.
  23. I'll be seeing this in DC next month. Looking forward to it! Glad it's a good production.
  24. I'm sure the table can order another bottle. I know I would. Well, I would order another bottle anyway.
  25. Denzel looked kinda bored.
