Lenny Kravitz at Terminal 5 in NYC

Nothing like being in the front row at a concert. What a great night!
I took lots of pictures and here's a few of them. Enjoy.

Jersualem closes with a final brilliant performance by all the cast

'Twas like a fairy tale!

I strugged with myself. Do I go to see "Jerusalem again or do I not?" See prior posts.
The angel won and I went, knowing that I would be very sad if I did not bask in the
wonder of that marvelous play and it's actors one more time.

I first saw Carol Kane as I stood in line to go in. Once inside I saw Steve Buscemi take
 a seat a few rows ahead of me. Then the usher comes over to me and asks if I would
mind moving down front. I was in the orchestra back row. I said, "No. I don't mind."
And there is Liam Neeson giving me his ticket so he could sit in the back.  He said I was
very sweet.  Honestly I would have traded seats with anyone, but I was getting a better
seat, so cool.

And then, across the aisle is Brooke Shields and Alicia Silverstone with their hubbies.
I'm a big fan of Alicia's book and website, "The Kind Life." Great receipes and sharing
of food and kind things.....

The play began. I was mesmerized once again. Mark Rylance is too much for words.
I could watch his performances for days on end. Mackenzie Crook is tremendous.
Maybe you know him from British TV, "The Office" or "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
Spectacular. And Alan David as the Professor, stupendous! Everyone is simply fantatic.

Come back soon. All of you!!!! If you're going to London, catch it there.







The Dude is so nice

Jeff Bridges was at Barnes and Noble on Thursday night to sign his new CD.
The songs played as we stood in the que, waiting to meet the gracious "Dude."

Awesome!

He spoke with everyone and was so so nice. He said, "How ya doin'?" I was doing
just fine I told him as he signed the CD and a limited edition of "The Big Lebowski."

The que was wrapped around the block with lots of dude looking people in it.
One guy had his guitar signed and proudly showed it to everyone afterward.

It's always such fun to meet someone you've liked for a long time and find that
they are even cooler than you imagined....

My weekend movie is Fright Night

I was very excited about seeing Fright Night this weekend. I was not one bit disappointed either. It's awesome! And in 3 D. I love Anton Yelchin and he's great. I'm a huge Buffy fan and this movie reminded me of a few Buffy elements. I do not like anything really creepy but I like most movies and stories about vamps. This post may be a little odd. I'm posting from my phone. Laptop is on the Fritz. One of the coolest things ever about Fright Night was the 3D effects especially when burning ash was involved. That was a first for me. Sunlight and wow.

If you've never seen Anton in Charlie Bartlett, that's another really good movie. Robert Downey Jr is in it also.

'The Help' with Emma Stone

Just saw 'The Help.' Fantastic movie, great title, excellent cast. Emma Stone was marvelous. Viola Davis took my heart in many scenes, Octavia Spencer was tremendous, Bryce Dallas Howard was a perfect meanie, Allison Janney was super as always, Cicely Tyson is always a pleasure to see on screen, and Sissy Spacek was brilliant. Anna Camp, the creepy preacher's wife from 'True Blood,' got to play that character again in this movie, a shallow southern belle. Still a great character. And even with lots of characters, it wasn't too much. Another opening night where the audience clapped when the movie ended. I love that. Another night when the audience was well behaved. I love that even more.

I saw somne trailers of movies I so can't wait to see. 'Like Crazy,' I'm very excited about and love everything Anton Yelchin is in if I haven't mentioned that before. This movie is a love story and a winner at Sundance. Also, next Friday night is 'Fright Night' with Anton Yelchin again and Colin Farrell. Schwing.

Saw an interesting trailer for a Disney movie with Jennifer Garner. It's called 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green.' Magical and fun, I think.

Keep 'em coming. Movies. Movies. Movies.
