YWIW - saw DROWSY tonight, and if you're concerned about your memories of the previous production interfering with your enjoyment of the current production, all I can say is that J2 and I enjoyed it as much tonight as we did in New York two years ago.

We went to Hollyhock House this afternoon - what a gorgeous piece of architecture, and the renovation is superb.

Oh how I wish I could fly out there and see it again!

[DG]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:12am

OMG, D2 - you're into architecture as well?!?

This is getting scary.

When you get back here - for WHATEVER reason - I need to take you to the Gamble House, among others in Pasadena (and elsewhere.)

Listen to me - assuming you haven't been there. But you haven't been there with ME, and that could be a WHOLE different experience

[D2]

The renovation has assured that Hollyhock House will be around a while, so it will still be here the next time you come out, Miss P.

Ok - D2 is more 'spritely inciting' than I am.

And that's saying something!

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:18am

No, DG - I haven't been to the Gamble House, so the next time I'm out here, we'll definitely go.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:19am

Any place with you would be a "whole different experience," DG!

[DG]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:21am

Hehe, MissP

D2 - I am a REAL 'Arts and Crafts' fanatic, so the whole expression of that architecturally is somewhat of an obsession of mine (among MANY others ) The whole neighborhood around the Gamble is a treasure trove - INCLUDING a Wright that has recently undergone a renovation!

DAMN space and time.

Truly.

Wow - sounds fantastic DG - I've only recently begun to be fascinated by the Arts and Craft style and I'm dying to learn more. But yes, I am interested in architecture, and at one point when I was very young I thought abut becoming an architect. I don't really remember why I didn't.

Twins!

My background was in that field, which I abandonded when it all went to computerized work.

But, when I lived in Scottsdale, Taliesen West was my favorite 'hangout' (that's Lloyd Wright's western digs, for those not familiar.)

And we have MUCH to discuss concerning 'Arts & Crafts' - up to and including the Disney homage to the same. We were just sitting yards from the hotel they built honoring that very style!

I say again - DAMN space and time!

I can look and point and say "ohhh pretty" and "wow, neat" and "what really clean lines."

Other than that, the closest I have gotten to architecture is construction defect cases during my evil days as a litigation attorney.

I was one badass YWIW!

[DG]

What do you mean 'was', YWIW?

I think we need a field trip. I'M the guide (pushy bitch, aren't I!) - but TRUST ME, you'll love it!

Another big fan of architecture. Hey, for years, I worked for the organization started by Buckminster Fuller!

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:41am

Okay, I have to go pack now. J2 is giving me dirty looks.

But I'll be back.

Now I am a problem-solver - much better suited to my personality.

I can pull the badass hat out and wear it, but I always feel a bit icky afterwards.

Funny story - when interviewing all those years ago in law school, I was asked by a senior partner how I saw myself as an attorney - my answer - a piece of pipe, linking two other disjointed pipes and connecting them - i.e., a problem solver.

He said ... Well, I have always seen myself as a gunslinger.

Big surprise, I did not get that job.

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:44am

OK, ok.

Jeez.

These spouses sure are pushy!

Oh, I'm one of them.

Nevermind.

Safe packing D2. Wave to J2 for me.

Night DG. Try to behave...

[DG]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:57am

"Night DG. Try to behave..."

I'll just assume that's rhetorical.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 2:59am

Notice the word "try".

[DG]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:04am

As D2 pointed out recently about someone else, I can be 'very trying'

I'm out myself.

*MWAH* to all.

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:08am

And I'm back.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:11am

You're back???? It took me an entire evening to pack!!!

[D2]

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:14am

Well, I'm leaving some stuff for the morning - toiletries, etc... I also pack light and wash clothes as necessary.

By washing clothes I mean I send them out, of course.

Night D2 and Miss P!
