FINALLY!!! I went to the airport this morning with Rafael and Robin came through. A bit late. But HERE! Yeah! Looking great. I'm so happy that he's back. We went back to the apt. and he unpacked and puttered. Thank goodness for Fresh Direct. All delivered and waiting at the door.
Myles came over and we playd his peculiar game of hide and seek where we ALL hide! Then he calls out who goes to find whom. (He's also told us where exactly to hide so it's a bit existential.)
But R is here and we're in bed watching TV. Poifect.
On Monday I finished proofing the Wordsworth. Then I had a lovely dinner with Greg Jbara. Lots of fun. I want Greg to be the first article in my 100Stories/100 Words for B'wayworld.com. I recorded a couple of songs but of course, I opted for the dirty one. Greg invited Robin and me to the run through of BE. Fine.
So I went home after the dinner and wrote up the piece. It was fun. I also wrote up one on Michael Jenkins. So I'll be one ahead. It was a challenge getting them down to 100 words. But the shorter they get, the better they get. So I did lots of work, sent 'em to LW and today sent them in to Robert. He said they were going to do a nice layout. I have a feeling this will be something I can enjoy.
And Robin!

DIARY
Had a great reunion dinner with Greg Jbara last night. He told me that his webmaster called him and said she knew he was having dinner with me. He said my Blog goes to google and it came up as google news on his google alert. Wow! Better be careful what I say.
We met on the train and went downtown but couldn't get into the place he wanted to try. So we continued walking through little Italy but nothing struck our fancy. But we kept chatting the whole time. He told me all about Billy Eliiott which sounds exciting for him! Clearly an amazing part and I'm thrilled he's in it! And of course, Stephen Daldry is amazing! Machinal! Wow. We ended up eating at the Chelsea Cookbook. So good.
He was incredibly supportive about DR. T. Feels it's on the right track artistically, which of course, I know it is. Always loved the piece. Not surprised it finally may get on. I told him all about Brian's death. Which is a whole separate article unto itself. But again, he was so supportive.
Today I sent off the libretto to London. And started on the Milton song. I get the first bit which will represent God's expulsion. I couldn't quite figure out the time signatures. Even with finale playing it back to me. But i'm close enough for now. (There's a missing 16 note somewhere!)
Then I had a very nice meeting with the animation company that Peter Schneider set me up with for the Bunny. They were very positive about the piece and seems like they want to move forward. So off to the rights issue. We decided that they'll send me a package describing who they are and I'll forward it all to Harper's. Let's hope.
Tonight is Hamlet which I'm excited about.
Ray Colcord called and told me Alex is coming to NYC to look for a job and work and live. I'll try and help. He said he would help with some Grammy voters. So everyone wins. I plan to be VERY aggressive with my campaign.
A little ps to the convention: no one mentioned the Clinton/Biden face work. I guess I've spent too much time in Bev Hills cause I'll could see were their face lift scars. Good work, but work nonetheless. I wonder who did it? Harry Glassman?
