@shameyreed NEV-ahhhh! (Good time to tune in: "Cool, Considerate Men" will start in a minute or two. 1st of 2 chilling numbers.)
Boy, you can tell that this cast is 1000 performances strong. This is why you always use the orig B'way cast in a film version. #1776
DaSilva, Howard, Daniels, et al are amazing, as are the script and songs. I always make a point to watch #1776 on each 4th of July. - Paul Ring
@smalljones TCM airs the restored, letterboxed edition.
Watching "1776" on TCM. "A musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence" only seems idiotic until you see it. A fave.
@goggy Definitely find time to walk through the Common and Public Garden. Continue to Copley Square and the Boston Public Library.
@neilhimself @trishm CIS and the comix/animation forum are like a geek's version of Anatevka. Our little village was dissolved by the Czar!
@goggy None that I've heard of...! Unless you include the fireworks on the Esplanade...probably the biggest Tweetup in the country.
@ProfPlum There's not an app for "The Seven-Year Itch," but there's a topical cream that you can get over the counter.
Attention: "The Seven-Year Itch" now starting on Fox Movie Channel. That is all.
How many "big announcements" today and next week were originally planned for last week...before MJ stole the whole news cycle?
@augiedb I can remember my CIS ID and the Hayes dialing sequences for my two or three favorite bulletin boards from the Eighties. :)
76327,1775 was my CIS ID I believe. Funny how I can remember that without even thinking about it. - Steve de Mena
@augiedb For many people, their CIS ID will be like their childhood phone #. Hardwired into memory, even tho it hasn't been used in decades!
Just saw an interview with Tom Lennon and Robert Ben Garant...totally cemented their status as one of my favorite writing teams.
This is your local newscast reminding you: don't allow your child mannequins or watermelons to play with fireworks this weekend.
@MikeWright101 - The thing people don't understand about character actors: they get so much work because they're so TALENTED.
@MikeWright101 Oh, I don't fault them for it at all; work is work. I think it's interesting synchronicity. Maria Bamford as Minnie Mouse?
What's with alt-comics and rodent movies? Patton O. was in "Ratatouille," Dave Cross in "Chipmunks," now Zack G. in "G-Force"
I'm not superstitious. But 5 crows alighting in the tree outside my office just as I sit down to work implies "lots of rewrites."
And most superstition people begin their sentences with - I'm not superstitious, but :)) - Lars Clausen
@alyankovic Be fair. He couldn't be sure that you didn't have Bin Laden hunched down in the passenger seat until he stopped you and checked.
I _so_ approve of both the contest (recreate a Frazetta painting in live-action) and the prize (biz cards made of meat) http://www.meatcards.com/challen...
I want to experiment with OCRing longer docs (magazine articles and books) from The Ihnatko Archives.
@fishbert I love Neat Receipts. But it's so good because it's designed for processing and organizing lots of short items, not LONG docs.
What's your favorite OCR app (Mac, Win)? I'm having trouble finding an app that I like which handles multipage docs easily.
THIS is how they define "Dessert" at Zaftigs in Brookline. http://yfrog.com/0zzeyj

@tanner Frank Cho, like Adam Hughes and a very few other comic artists, has flat-our ungodly talent as an illustrator. Mystifyingly good.
@tanner I thought Liberty Meadows showed his weaknesses. Great art, but he totally couldn't keep up with the burn rate on ideas and stories.
@jimbretado Yeah, the show started 10 minutes late so I had time for a last-minute shower (which I couldn't have done with long hair!)
@loveandcapes Congratulations! Best of luck.
I can't believe I talked up Frank Cho's Dejah Thoris art during the pre-show (if you Google, be warned: NSFW).
Setting up for MacBreak Weekly. (opening windows, pouring beverages)
