it's running until feb 7!

here is a pic of the set posted on deadline hollywood: the set is actually taller and has a set of ducts at the top of the proscenium. and it is wider. at stage left is a bedroom and bathroom, to the right, the phone (can & string system )and kitchen. my co-worker is going tonight. i can't wait to talk to him about it tomorrow!

oh, good! i hope that the audiences continue to be filled with people who have a real affection for this odd world and its characters. in los angeles you get those crowds of "got this ticket for free-nothing to do-i'm too cool for this" people. if you're not yelling in response to the secret word, well, i just don't know what to do with you. after the show, before the curtain was drawn, a lot of people were snapping pix of the stage, but i didn't find any online to post here. that's a good thing, i suppose.

thanks for the spoiler how to, dude! a few details... , more later!

ok, i will post some details, but someone has to remind me how to post with the "blacked out" text!

WONDERFUL!!! boy howdy, the crowd was on their feet as soon as paul reubens walked on stage. to quote another fan, "never seen a crowd lose its collective mind as it did for pee wee herman". the stage was FANTASTIC, colorful, wacky shapes: the original set design of the tv playhouse and then some. everytime a character was introduced, the crowd cheered. such a feeling i tell you. there was a receiving line of sorts for autographs and 3 words w/each of the cast after the show. i had them all autograph my program. almost all of them signed their character names. i don't want to spel

i was looking on youtube for the trailer that's been on the ticket seller's website promoting the show. didn't find it, but found this!

i'll do my best! you know i'll be hollering during if anyone uses the Secret Word.

this is what i'm hoping for! here's an article from the LA times: Pee-Wee Herman!

to pile some further radness on this: the cast and crew were using a rehearsal hall in the same building where i work. they moved out right around xmas, probably to rehearse in a theatre.

tomorrow night is opening night of the Pee Wee Herman Show revival in los angeles! i've got a ticket and am soooooo excited. in case it isn't terribly obvious, my username, ms. yvon, was a nickname given me by friends during the heyday of the original run of the live show in 1986 or so. anyone else in l.a. going to any of the shows?

saluqui, is that a falcon in your avatar? what a great pic! i'll be there tonight, too! maybe jeff will dust off a version of "santa baby," this being the season and all.

inspired!

i had no idea this was coming!!

i am of the opinion that this is the appropriate time for decorating to start. any earlier and by the time xmas rolls around, it's all a pit passé.

aw, sarah. so sorry. much love and vibes to you. not much to do when you're heart is broken except to share with friends and family.

it's a christmas miracle!

http://www.mymorningjacket.com/gogo/ at last! a show date!

to solve the "portrait" vs. "landscape" problem: 2 pix on the months with portrait pix. also: pete: toe warmers in chicago, feb 2008: solid.

that was a great episode!

heather, i love that you're making a point to find non-spiritual charity. seems like that opens up who you might be able to help. will drop a line to WBEZ, too. bbop: please consider giving matt walsh a kiss on the cheek from me. i'll give you five bucks and a kogi burrito. thanks in advance.

pehaps the candy "fell off a truck". "niche market."

TORGO!!
