Galatea in NYC

#1 Post by rebel2008 » Wed Aug 20, 2008 7:18 pm

Just to let you know that I got a chance to see Frank's play Galatea at the Fringe Festival in NYC.

Got to see Frank of course, and KayrHarris, Mary Ellen, Snaxx and a few others.

The play was PHENOMENAL. We all knew Frank was Brilliant...now NYC does.

It was well worth my trip to NYC and fun to get to see some bored buddies as well.

On m way home in the morning. Mellly and I covered every square inch of Greenwich village today.

Aww. I didn't know you were still there. I was in the city yesterday and played NTN at Mad River. :cry:

My world imploded a bit, so I was unable to make the trip in. I didn't even remember it was a possibility.

I am sorry I missed it.

Sorry we missed both of you. Melly and I had a lovely dinner with frank last night.

You can always tell when I post from my blackberry as I always have a typo!

Hopefully my flight will be on time. So far so good - less than an hour to go.

It felt so good to see all of you after the show on Tuesday, and to see how moved you were. This whole experience has been phenomenal.

It was symbolically so right that Nancy was there. She was the first person from this group to see my work (the Thackeray's Ghost reading in fall '08), and nw she was there for my first production in Manhattan.

Had a lovely dinner last night with Kay and Mary Ellen. It's amazing how we have hung together all these years, isn't it?

Everything okay Pea?

I was a little worried when we didn't see you for a bit.

Congratulations, Frank! I'm looking foward to seeing it too.

Had too much going on here at work to get a day off mid-week so I could join you all on Tuesday. :( My plan now is to head up for the Saturday evening show. Is anyone else here going that night as well, or thinking of it?

I definitely echo Jason's thoughts.

I wonder how long ago "Thackeray's Ghost" was, fall of 2000? The emoticon turned it into "Fall '08" on my screen.

Hope everything is OK with Pea.

Had a good day after Kay left.

Visted a store called Sam Flax and place called Kate's Paperie.

Both were great stores. Sam Flax had all sorts of stuff that I didn't know I needed for my office (:D).

Kate's selection of paper was beautiful. But, by the time I got there, I was almost too tired to really look around. I did get some Christmas presents, though.

Caught the 2:11 train back home and just finished a lovely dinner with Boonie at one of our favorite restaurants.

It was SO good to see everyone.

As Jason said, the play was wonderful. A good time on Tuesday.

Had a great dinner with Frank and Kay on Wednesday. And, as Kay mentioned, we spent close to four hours walking around SoHo and Greenwich Village.

The good news is I lost 3 pounds. It's always good to have two nice meals at very nice establishments. Nancy Leo found a charming place close to the theatre - Cornelia Street Cafe - we all loved it. There was a fabulous Gelato place next to the theatre we couldn't pass up afterwards. Melly, Frank and I ate at The Mesa Grill Wednesday night. I love that place. I looked for Bobby Flay but I didn't see him. :(

All the walking and perhaps that one sweltering subway ride Melly and I suffered through helped keep the pounds off.

It'll be great to see you. I'm hearing from so many people now that I'd recomment ordering your ticket online. If it's within 24 hours of the performance, however, you can only buy at the door. So you have until 7 tomorrow to reserve in advance.

Actually, my memory was faulty there. It was actually January 2001.

Hi everyone, just a quick post,( I am still working out compatibility issues between my computer and the bored) but I feel compelled to say how incredible Frank's play is. It really was a great experienced, enhanced by the wonderful company!
