Planning

It's almost time boys! My flight leaves at 9 tomorrow morning, so I should hopefully be at the hotel around 1. However, it looks like everything will be as if I never said goodbye. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow and Saturday in NYC (although it will be clear here), so who knows what time I will land. I figure we can leave up to 5 hours late and still get to Equus on time, which is doable, we only left about 3 hours late from New York last time and that was a Biblical level storm. A mild rain should only delay us 1-2 hours. Speaking of Equus, my companion is leaving me on my own from about 2-5 tomorrow afternoon, so I'm going to go to Colony Records then so we can hit the Village Saturday morning and go to Strand and finally the NYU bookstore which he has been trying to do the last two times. So, I may have to stop at Starbucks on 57th between 8th & 9th on the way and get a pick me up since I'll have to get up so early tomorrow and want to stay awake for the money scene tomorrow night. So, any free boys who don't want to wait until Monday may want to be hangning around Starbucks at maybe 2:30-ish tomorrow (hint hint Cheyenne!).

Speaking of showtunes, I stopped at Borders yesterday at got Patti's CD (and bad news boys, Gypsy is closing when her contract is up in March of next year, she's a busy woman, so get to the show NOW!). I haven't listened to it yet because I was in training at work all day today, but I did copy it and get it onto my mp3 player so I can listen to it on the plane tomorrow to set the mood for the weekend. They did not have Jackie Hoffman's CD, but emusic did, and my downloads happened to refresh last night, so I got that along with the 13 cast recording, again neither of which I have listened to but are now on my mp3 player. I was then only able to get 2 more tracks from Guys & Dolls, but there are only 5 more left and no matter what comes out between now and next month, I will get those 5. However, I had originally planned to then get Lady in the Dark, but on a hunch, I typed in John Barrowman's name to see if they had his CD which is supposed to be coming out sometime around now, and while they don't have the new one, they've got two older ones, an Andrew Lloyd Webber collection and a general Broadway collection, so guess what I'll be getting next month! I may just need to up my subscription level, I've had the NEO concert recording on the backburner almost all year now and that's going to be a multi-month download as well because of the number of tracks, and I want to start getting the "The Musicality Of. . ." CD's, particularly the Kander & Ebb one because it has the only recorded song from The Visit. Regardless of what I didn't get yet though, it's a great week for showtunes. Anyways, I've got to get to Supernatural (Jensen deserves my full attention) and then get packing and off to bed so I'm not falling asleep on anyone tomorrow. See you in New York!
