The Daily News
1 In all my infinite wisdom I forgot to let y'all know that two times in the past week Evelyn has sent me info on Arsenic and Old Lace and should definitely take a lot of the credit for getting me into the show. I had finally recovered from a wretched week of exhaustion when Angie's e-mail came, but all week I meant to write Evelyn back and to thank her for letting me know about the show.
2 I say this simply because I didn't acknowledge her in yesterday's DN and I darned well should have.
3 Haha, thanks d00d!
4 And thanks for all of that triggering lots of memories in the past two days. Yesterday Jenny and Jeff came by and we talked of some good times in the Theatre, and even took a nostalgic ride past the YB Theatre.
5 We pulled into the parking lot for a second and I saw the Theatre, which hasn't changed a bit from the outside. I was hoping someone would be in there rehearsing but alas! Nobody.
6 As we pulled out of the parking lot, I looked up and saw the teevee camera that is now poised ominously on the corner of the roof that faces the parking lot.
7 Weird.
8 More "safety" from the boyz who wish to scare the pants off everybody.
9 I thought of getting myself, Jose, Ray, Sunshine, Sparky and Peter and dressing in all black, throwing ropes with hooks over the bricks, and moving to the roof in the blackness.
10 At a given moment we could take out black spray cans and sneak up behind the teevee cameras.
11 Within seconds we could spray out the lens, open the door we've never opened on the roof, and rappel to the stage.
12 From that point there would be mischief afoot.
13 Gels, lights, CD's, mirror balls and pure joy would fill the place.
14 The Grateful Dead would be alive again, Goin' Down the Road Feelin' Bad. Jose could get on the mic and do some Chevelle live.
15 I could break out Annabel and begin some guitar tunes, beginning with Good Riddance by Greenday.
16 For what it's worth it was worth it all the while.
17 Sing Yellow, Landslide and finally Your Song, just sweetly while the mirror ball gently spins. Memories will light up in each reflection.
18 And after around ten more, we would bring it all home with the immortal In My Life.
19 And all the spirits of all the people who have enjoyed a show or two in that Theatre could rise up and celebrate.
20 I miss the Theatre.
21 I miss all of you.
22 I'm taking off for Reno today, Rocha and me are. This is the last DN for this week.
23 We both miss all of you.
24 Meanwhile enjoy the thoughts and the memories.
25 It's a nice night for it.
26 Nice memories.
27 All these places have their moments.
28 Love the moments.
29 See you soon.
30 Peace.
