Oh I know DD, I think it is just the magnatude of the change. Graduation, new city, new job, etc.... I am looking forward to it though. Poor DC though, imagine what will happen when we can get together on a more regular basis?

The invitation is "out there" (so I can't take it back!)

For the first time in years, we are not going to be in NYC over the holidays, so YES, MAMIE, let's organize a gathering at my house.

People, PM me your dates of availabilty!

Whatever kind of martinis you want will be waiting...as long as you let me know the ingredients that are needed!

Virgin Mary's for me. (Of course, if you can make them LOOK like a cosmo, I'd really appreciate it)

I call those mock-tails, mamie.

Is it only for 18s and over again? I don't want to be left out!

Whatever you want to call them sweetie - they're still pathetic!

Just catching up on this thread....

miss pennywise- nice to "see" you again too. Summer has been good but busy. I was able to get a few days off to have some fun in London (read: see shows) while I was there for work, so it was a nice treat.

Would like to see you all again too over the holidays.

Agree on Roundhouse Theatre- I saw a fabulous production of "Once on This Island" there a year or so ago. I know they will be staging Summer of '42 in the future.

Off to see "In the Continuum"

This is what it's like for all of us in the DC area!


Va., D.C. Declare Storm Emergency

Awe - there's no storm. See my 'vacation' photos?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 7:26pm

Your photos make the weather look much prettier than it really is, Mamie!

I just got my catalogue for the Roundhouse. They're doing "Orson's Shadow" end of January through February. I really want to see that.

MP, where is the Roundhouse?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 9/3/06 at 1:20am

Bethesda, Maryland...right outside Washington DC. Come down and see it, Brd! Our babysitter can watch your kids at my house while we go with the domestic partners. (Our babysitter is great...she's in her 50s and has a grown daughter. The kids ADORE her. She is like family to us. )

I caught Orson's Shadow in NY during it's run. I loved it. Austin Pendleton came out after the show and sat on stage with his guest, Peter Bogdanovich. They chatted for more than an hour about Bogdanovich's old friend, Orson Wells. It was a GREAT night of theatre!

They have a Roundhouse in Downtown Silver Spring, too.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 9/3/06 at 12:59pm

Yes, Atrias is correct! The Roundhouse in Silver Spring is a small "black box" theatre with bleacher seating. I have seen a couple of excellent productions there.

Their homebase, however, is the Bethesda facility, which is a much larger, traditional theatre space...and relatively new. (The site opened about 3 years ago, but the company has been around for years.)

"Orson's Shadow" will be produced at the Bethesda site.

Too bad that when I'm in DC most theaters are dark.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 9/3/06 at 11:43pm

Don't worry, DD, we're taking you to see "A Broadway Christmas Carol" even if you don't want to.

Just read that Hunter Foster's musical adaptation of "Summer of '42" is going to produced at the Roundhouse in the Spring. They're also doing "The Little Prince" (non-musical) in the Fall.

WST (Wildwood Summer Theatre) did "Cabaret" at BCC High School in Bethesda this summer and that was really good. Not professional but never the less, they do some good shows every year. Plus, the high schools are here do really good shows as well. Sure it's not professional but for high schools, some of them are very well done...

Oh, and Piazza tickets... can't wait! I'm definitely buying mine the day they go on sale <3

^ Yes. Churchill does great high school productions :]

Back to the organizing...

How does December 27th look for everyone? It's a Wednesday night.

I'm thinking a traditional French winter dish (okay, it's really Swiss): Raclette.

DD doesn't leave the area until December 28.

(I'm figuring AFTER Xmas is better than BEFORE for everyone.)

[Mamie]

Posted: 9/10/06 at 5:10pm

You know I'm there! (I'll even help organize the dessert table....)

..."the desert table," Mamie?

Is that where we'll put out the huge platter of quicksand?

Since the death of my dear dparted PC, I take no responsibility for typing errors. (And this laptop doesn't care for the letter 'e'. Not a good one to skip)

Hey, I love quicksand. Especially with whipped cream.
