First blocking rehearsal for Anything Goes tonight. Laurie is directing; Sally, Dino, Belèn are in the show (all old friends), as is Nina (not the same Nina as Laramie). I don't have a contact sheet yet, so I don't have everyone's name yet. What a difference from Laramie! It's not just the light-hearted material, which most of the cast already knows pretty well. It's also Laurie's seat-of-the-pants approach to a rehearsal. I actually like a little more structure, but I think this is going to work out fine. Sally and Laurie are running the company, and Sally has said more than once, "We want this to be fun. If it's not, talk to me about it." posted: 10:21:41 PM |

Jacob Weisberg introduces the new edition of Bushisms:
[George W.] Bush may not have been born stupid, but he has achieved
stupidity, and now he wears it as a badge of honor. What makes mocking this
president fair as well as funny is that Bush is, or at least once was,
capable of learning, reading, and thinking. We know he has discipline and
can work hard (at least when the goal is reducing his time for a three-mile
run). Instead he chose to coast, for most of his life, on name, charm, good
looks, and the easy access to capital afforded by family connections.
