José, glad to hear you saw DRS again! Thanks for the report. I'd love to see it again sometime.

Okay, to everyone ... Greg asked me to relay his apologies to the thread re. last night's camcast (or lack thereof). It was however completely out of his control. The theatre totally lost its DSL connection. And sounds like the DSL phone night tech support were pretty useless. I told Greg it seems it's usually that way with weekend/night tech support; you aren't generally going to get the cream of the crop since no one likes working those lousy hours in the first place. He said the entire crew was pissed last night. Said he's not holding his breath that service will be back up before Tuesday.

Let's all hope it's running well again by Wednesday if not before!

PS Editing to add that it was me (in case anyone wondered) who changed the webcam page to "Offline mode" last night around 5 min. before 11 (eastern). I figured by then it was a safe bet to do so and that Greg was probably not able to do it himself or to email me. His email today tells me I was wise to do so.

DSL can be such a pain! And that's definitely true about tech support on weekends. Totally useless. I'm sending out good thoughts and hopes that the service will be back up by Wednesday. Tell Greg not to fret too much if it isn't. It's not his fault.

Kerrie, Greg said that he's "so over" it. lol I think they were all ticked off last night, but sounds like in the light of day, that it's just not worth worrying about. Does no good anyway ... it'll get fixed when it's fixed.

One thing I know about Greg, he never seems very bummed out about anything for very long. He is virtually unbummable. :) Very positive person; one of the reasons people like being around him!

barb - thanks for the info. I hope the best
liz - nothing happened tonight and you can watch the picture of the award on Barb's page. I can't write what it is because it's pretty obscene

Well I know what it is but just, what was the purpose of it? Any backstory? lol. Or did he just get it?

[cserannie]

Posted: 7/17/05 at 3:17pm

he said he got after he mantioned the "story", that he left the cigarette staff in his dressing room. I don't know if there is a connection. Probably...

Ohh Greg...

I have red the 2/3rd of the HP book. I don't know it's just not good as the 3rd or the 4th one (my favorites). And now I will go watch some episode of 3rd Rock.

See you tomorrow everyone.










And remember: **fingers crossed**

Hello everyone...back from the beauty of San Diego...I'd say that SeaWorld is the best theme park I've ever been to. I'm serious.

I will post about San Diego in my blog and give you guys a link to it tomorrow morning, unless you have certain
questions about it. So...did I miss anything special on Saturday? And Liz...did you enjoy Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

BUMPITY BUMP.
Gee...I wonder when I'll destroy my stupid headphones that can only play from the right speaker! Gah...I can't hear a lot of Greg either...

Good news, everyone! I just woke up from a long summer's afternoon nap to find an email from Greg in my box telling me that DSL is back at the Imperial! So yeah!!!! Let's hope it stays and that Wednesday's camcasts come through without a hitch!

The gypsy boner award ... yes, I think from what Greg said/typed during yesterday afternoon's camcast that he got it because of forgetting the cig props and having to dash offstage to grab them. Sounds like it's an award that gets passed around for stuff like that. I'll see if I can find out more from Greg about the history behind the award. Or maybe someone who knows more about it will see this part of the thread and post something.

Oh, good...so I didn't miss much.

[JbaraFan1]

Posted: 7/17/05 at 11:02pm

BSo, nope, didn't miss much at all. I think that's the fastest I ever got a slideshow up, too!

Everybody ... the award ... I found this while googling (btw, there sure are a lot of various "boner awards" out there!) --

excerpt from a past (c)Playbill Online article, found at the following link::

(Especially note the last comments from BSM and MM in this quote.)

PLAYBILL ON-LINE'S BRIEF ENCOUNTER with Marin Mazzie and Brian Stokes Mitchell
15 July 2003

PBOL: I assume you two must enjoy working together, or otherwise you are both very tolerant of each other.
MM: [Laughs] No, we enjoy it. It's very fun.
BSM: You can look into a performer's eyes on stage and see if they're hooked into you and into the moment. We always seemed to be, ever since Ragtime. Immediately, we hooked in to each other.
MM: That was the first time we met.
BSM: I knew of her, but we had never worked together before. She has a great sense of humor. And she never misses a line. We have a boner award [for on-stage flubs] on this show and we had one in Kiss Me, Kate. Marin never got the boner award. I got it...how many times?
MM: Brian Stokes is very good at it!

Thanks Barb. That is pretty good news. And I knew I could sleep with my fingers crossed (but I hardly can type also )

Gav- Loooooved CATCF, seeing it for a third time tonight.

To everybody- When Charlie finds the ticket, get up and start clapping, I did it and the entire audience went crazy in applause. . It was opening night so maybe everybody was already crazy but whatever. lol.
