I devoured this book in about three hours -- kept me busy on a flight to Las Vegas -- being a "theater geek" I found much of myself in many of the characters -- not sure that there is one in particular that is KMF....clearly some of Edward and some of Cheesehead is in me....

People on the plane kept asking what I was reading as the said "It is obvious you are enjoying the book"....so I hvae been telling anyone who will listen to go out an buy it -- I even held it up and told the 20 people I was training to run and buy it!

Awwww...KMF...I knew we were so much alike and that you would love this book as much as I did. The only part of Natie that I see in you is the schemeing and that you're brilliant like him.

Like when we're going for drinks after a show??? Seemes you and me have a plan, but everyone else leads us away from the plan and then we eventually wind up there anyway.

I am going to have to go over there sometime. I adore singing showtunes with lots of people. Do you need to be 21?

I believe you do have to be 21. It's so much fun. You better be up with your showtunes..they play some from way back when..no "Wicked" or "Brooklyn" usually sung there.

I have not been there in about 100 years -- not sure how strict they are in "carding" -- but it is a bar, so by law you need to be 21....

LOL Barts !!! NO Pal..I'm Edward. What's funny is that my signature song is "Corner of the Sky" too. When my friends and me would go out to piano bars in the City they would all say "get up and sing Corner of the Sky". That song got me many parts I wanted in shows. I did however play John the Baptist/Judas in "Godspell" NOT Jesus. Although the director 2 weeks before the show begged me to take over the role of Jesus so that he could can the other guy, but I refused. I had the girlfriend through high-school too..although she was far from a cheerleader.

Did Addy leave yet??? I can't wait for my punishment, but not tonight.

I was thinking we should have a night of singing at Marie's Chrisis...maybe we can convince Marc Acito to join us. He's coming into the City for a reading of the book...why not a little road tour for old times sake ?
