Can the adults please smoke? — Page 481

Marquise sorry to hear all that crap you're going through right now...I think you should hop on a plane to NYC and we'll go see some shows. That should make you feel better.


KMF, I'm still in shock..I would never have guessed that you were gay,gay,gay.

HI EVERYONE!!!

I'm home...about to go take a nice long nap (like, until tomorrow...). Have LOTS to tell you and lots to read up on...but am just going to leave you with the words to the 'theme song' from my weekend...

Gotta love Neil Young!

"Cinnamon Girl"

I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.


(I have NEVER had as much fun as I did this weekend...)

Welcome back, Addie

Iris - rather than make you try and find it in all these pages (GOD, we talk a LOT ) this is what I wrote:

Boobs - we really enjoyed it. Your friend was very good in the role he had - which unfortuntely wasn't a very sympathetic one - but he played it very well. I think my reaction to the piece overall was better during the performance than it has been as I've digested it afterwards. The extreme word-play which was so brilliant to hear the first time seems a bit out of character for many of the players in retrospect. I really want to get a copy of the script - I think I might enjoy reading it more than watching it. Jeremy (from Six Feet Under) was very good, despite some vocal strain - and talk about an unsympathetic character! My favorite was the man who played Kippy (basically the narrator) and the business manager (who really embodied the joy and passion of discovery) Overall the production was very effective - with the glaring exception (for us, anyway) of a very poor lighting design. But this is a temporary space for this group, so maybe they didn't have things quite worked out there yet.

lol..so true popcultureboy.

marquies;
This bad time shall pass. Believe me.

Cookie...it was Cinnamon DELIGHT!

(and 5 minutes after I arrived and told some people about the suggestion of the nickname, it stuck - and the bridesmaids were henceforth known as The Cinnamons)

So - you want a song?

I actually brought my guitar for the Friday night cook-out...and we ended up doing a big ol' sing-along on the beach into the wee hours. We hit on a bunch of old favorites...including one of my all time faves (from Abandoned Luncheonette - Hall & Oates). So - I will sing it to you now:

Were you ever so in love
you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
about the one you wish was there beside you
In the past few days I've grown
to love your giggles on the phone
and how we hug so nicely

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
has I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
had I known you better then

Now I'm gonna move away
another town another crazy day
ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck
call it fate
call it a shame that we have met so late
and loved so lightly

Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then

How was the rest of the wedding, Addy?

OMG - the wedding was a blast!
Complete with running around the boardwalk and riding the carousel in our gowns...
The band at the wedding was Fabulous - so we were a bunch of Dancing Queens!
I slept about 9 hours the entire weekend...

---

BOOBS;
HEARD YOU WERE QUITE THE HIT LAST NIGHT. And quite handsome.

---

why wouldn't Boobs be quite the hit?

I can attest to that, too. (Do we need another Boobs appreciation thread??)

Oh - and Boobs - when the bridesmaids got up on stage to sing along with the band we were given our choice of instruments to play... I played the bongos Thought you'd get a chuckle out of that...
