Quick Catch-up
May. 7th, 2009 05:40 am1) I'm not entirely sure what a bandwagon is, but I have jumped on the latest and have a dreamwidth account now. I still plan to be here, not there, but it's never a bad idea to have a plan B.
2) My trip to Los Angeles was mixed. The actual travel wasn't too bad. The actual meeting on Tuesday was not a great use of my time, but I was able to have some productive conversations with people who were there. Both of my meetings yesterday were pretty good. And it was nice to be able to get together with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cahwyguy in between them.
3) I have managed to misplace two things which I thought I'd put in particular places so that I'd find them. I think I may need to do another round of desk cleaning at home.
4) I am very pleased that Signature Theatre has won the regional Tony award. I really enjoyed the Kander & Ebb series they did last year and I have tickets to both of their shows this coming weekend. The category that I think will be the toughest to decide is featured actress in a musical. Karen Olivo was excellent as Anita in West Side story but Martha Plimpton was a real scene stealer in the less spectacular Pal Joey. By the way, I am surprised that Jerry Herman has waited this long for a lifetime achievement award.
5) My first great-grandboss at circle-A died last weekend, as did another person who had an office down the hall from me back then. The former was a surprise (sudden massive heart attack while playing tennis). Then I got home last night and had an email from Jane with Sherry Geyelin's obituary. Sherry was a big supporter of storytelling in Washington and I was honored to get to know her when she hosted a weekend workshop with Donald Davis at her house.
You all stay healthy out there.
