The weekend

[ceebeegee]

Ugh, this THING that lives in me will not go away. I've been sick ever since the party--well, really ever since last Sunday night when I could feel myself getting sick around 9:30. I had a fever and willed it to go away until after the party. Obligingly it did so--and returned right on schedule, after the party. Literally just after the guests had gone and Lori and I were cleaning up and talking, I heard my voice get lower and hoarser. I thought it would've gone away after a few days but like Elaine Stritch, it's still here.

I've been hiding in my apartment as much as possible, but I did go to see Tommy Friday night with Jason. I, uh, don't understand that show. At all. But the singers sounded great, the band sounded great--I guess that's the most important thing with a rock musical. Afterward Jason and I went to Court Street where I talked with Dave Z. about the season next year. Some interesting ideas. I really want to direct, uh, a couple of Sondheim shows he mentioned as possibilities for next season (not sure how confidential the info is).

Last night I dragged myself downtown to hang with Jason et al. for his birthday celebration. Had a lovely conversation with Mike about all sorts of things. So nice to connect with good friends.

I agree. I have the original concept album (sung by The Who), which is pretty cool, if you want to borrow it, Clara.

The original concept record is, by far, one of my favorite records. A master work. I HATED the stage version I heard on CD. Maybe it's something you have to "see".
