I would like to thank the following people whom I never would have met if not for BWW...

To... Rob Diamond who took a chance on me as a writer 10 years ago and still goin'. To... Dolly Pop for all his hysterical ranting, false accusations and unwavering loving hypocrasy..To Sueleen Gay...who just made me laugh everyday...To... Anthony Veruso...one of the only people I met and rubbed his head at Joe's Pub...To Lizzy... for her consistant grammER auto correct at every article/post of mine...To MaryEthel...for the amazing meltdown that purged everyone's soul...

To Eddie Varley for introducing me to Matthew Rask and that handsome McArdle boy and last but not least To Namo... who will always remember me as the "brest witer on BWW", a compliment I will treasure and named a seashell after.

Rob, you've come Looooong way from the Michael Crawford, Dance of the Vampires web days. Congrats and many more!

Great memories, PB! Made me LOL. But be honest, you thought you were about to rest your hand on a barstool and were surprised to realize it was the top of somebody's head.

Happy tenth anniversary to everyone! I miss the old days, but I have a feeling that is due more to selective memory than anything. (I take that back, I DO NOT miss the excessive I LOVE WICKED!/I HATE WICKED! threads that overran the Main Board and started dripping onto the Off-Topic board like the vile pools of liquid excrement they were.)

Still, those early days learning about Broadway and its history through the board were magical days! Miriam was such a treasure trove. So many great stories!

I just bumped Winston's 2005 Curtain Call.

And the In My Life thread on the main board.

Omg. Just read thru the IML thread and saw Margo Channing's posts. If anyone has any information I would love some closure on him. Am I correct in that he was ill? He was so dear.

PJ, you're a treasure. I can't believe I'd forgotten about In My Life...

Misty water-colored memories....

junglered!

Thinking about so many people who have graced our happy little playground.
And, remembering some really fun, silly times in the past.

Remember 'baby' or 'childhood' avatar week? What a hoot!

I do remember the baby pic avatar week. Fun times.

Also -- remember the old "Message Board Celebrity of the Day" where each of us had our day in the spotlight. It looks like it died after Part V sometime in 2007.

Here is a link to Part IV (which has links to the previous three in the first post): https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=907705&boardname=off&boardid=2&page=1

The CoTD threads really brought out the best in our OT-family - for a while.
I really enjoyed them.
It's a shame so much of this history is lost.

And then there was the BWW Family Tree. Someone spent alot of time designing those charts - and then it all just went haywire.

Addy; You just don't want to answer me?

Or you don't have a answer?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/24/13 at 2:23pm

Dame, I honestly don't have an answer.

I was in touch with Margo - in fact saw him the night he had been to see "In My Life" with a few BWWers, and the night of the first preview of the revivial of "A Chorus Line" - and loved talking with him after both shows! I haven't laughed as hard as I did the night of the "In My Life" gathering!

We all stopped hearing from him a few years ago. There has been speculation as to why, but, I don't have any real answers.

I loved his presence - here and in person.

I miss him. He turned me on to TCM and we would have the best theater chats thru pm. Thanks for getting back to me.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 5/24/13 at 2:29pm

He had such passion and we all learned so much from him.

[DAME]

Posted: 5/24/13 at 2:48pm

Life is too short. I wonder how many others we have lost.

Posted: 5/24/13 at 4:43pm

Congrats Everyone

remember the Theatermania chat board?

For some reason I keep singing these lyrics while reading this thread...

Drink with me to days gone by
To the life that used to be
At the shrine of friendship, never say die
Let the wine of friendship never run dry
Here's to you and here's to me...


(and here's to the next 10 and beyond!)

[DAME]

Posted: 5/24/13 at 10:20pm

Girl, I just had one of my special brownies. And reading those lyrics made me cry.

Oh my gosh the family tree! All started as a joke between a few of us bc we felt like siblings. I don't even remember who made the chart, but then it just exploded!
