Re The last night of Ballyhoo, I mean Barrymore's

Fantasies were destroyed, new myths created...

What can I say? You had to be there.

The coffee finally kicked in!In all serious it was a wonderful night, EVERYONE was great. The place didn't know what hit them! Special thanks to Rob and Craig for putting it together and actually making it happen this time and THANKS for the 'round to the sweet and thoughtful Mr. Shaiman. This board is a wonderful place and getting to meet and chat in the flesh was a treat!

How late did it go? Unfortunately I got home from work at 7:30 so I couldn't make it...or at least assumed (incorrectly?) that everyone would've been gone by the time I got there, approx 8pm or so.

10:30ish I think... As evidenced by this board, once you get most of us started talking, it can go for a while. Updated On: 1/17/04 at 03:09 PM

We all had a very nice time.

I would like to thank the person (you know who you are!) who gave me the lovely gift of a CD of Merman's last performance in TWHM. I listened to it on the drive home and have to say that this ISN'T the last performance. I was there and Gower Champion received a loud round of applause when he appeared with the dancers during "I Put My Hand In". That applause it not to be heard on the recording. Similarly, Merman's entrance in the Harmonia Gardens received TUMULTUOUS applause that afternoon. that's not evident on this CD, either. Also, I don't think that's Russell Nype as Cornelius. The fellow on the recording sounds much too young to be Nype. Nype performed with Merman in CALL ME MADAM. It's hard to say, though.

That said, it's a terrific recordning and I'm extremely happy to add it to my collection. Thank you very much.

The most intimate question posed during the evening was asked of Felicia:

"What kind of soap do you use?"

The girl DEFINES peaches-and-cream complexion.

(Alas, I did not hear her answer) :)

In cutting out at 9:30, I missed that question re the cosmetic basis for Felicia's glow, Master. Just goes to show it pays to stay until the end. To "stay all night, and sing 'em all!"

Auggies skin is only second to Felicias in its creamy, healthy glow. :)

RobD...I would come next time...all you have to do is provide a plane ticket, hotel room (optional), and a ticket to a Bway show! Hey, this could be a next BWW.com sweepstakes!!

I wanna' come to the next one, though I'm too young. I'd probably shun everyone. Just my teenage ways..

[Auggie27]

Posted: 1/17/04 at 6:34pm

Master, you're sweet, but you know that our end of the long table, the hirsute RobbieJ the impressive exception, had a healthy glow that was blinding. Talk about a show of skin, above the chin-line. We were either Hair Club For Men, the before picture, or Blue Man Group, out of make-up.

here I am living in the city and I did not go. New to the board, I thought I would not have any fun. next time!!

[MasterLcZ]

Posted: 1/17/04 at 6:38pm

No, Joisey, us old, cranky and bitter types would try to soil you sweet and innocent charms. Heh Heh Heh.

SHER-MANNNN! Look at it this way. You will only make the mistake of NOT going once.

Yes, Auggie...we needed powder to cut down the glare...

I am so glad I showed up. It was a lovely and very friendly get-together, and many thanks to the guys in charge.

Finally back at work (thanks for the 3-day weekend, Dr. King!!) and can report that it was a surprisingly delightful time.

I have been on several internet 'blind' dates, some of which turned out well and some that haven't. But meeting 20 new people for the first time was a little nerve-wracking. But in no time at all, we were chatting like it was this board. The cocktails flowed and so did the wonderful, good will.

A lady never gives too many details, lest she gets them wrong because her head was woozy from the Kettle one, but three points I'd like to make:

1. Auggie, I adore you for calling me hirsuit...but in the spirit of sisterhood, a full disclosure must be made. I pay $55.00 a month for the pills that keep this hair on my head. Plus, bald is very sexy!

2. Felicia Finley is a class act who provided my favorite 'small world, isn't it?' moments in years!

3. I send a big thanks to Marc Shaiman for the delicious beverage. You are a dear man, a brilliant composer and I'd be your houseboy in P-Town ANYTIME!
