Hey Marci
Thanks!  I know Nancy and I are interested.  I know two of the pieces -- they are wonderful. And the Disney Concert Hall is amazing.  There may be one disappointment though.  The beach is ten miles away and it may not be so balmy when you get here.  We can always hope.

Thanks again,

David

Hi,
I will leave tickets for you and Nancy at the will-call.  If things aren't crazy backstage and I'm not needed, I'll look for you.  (And I will walk (or drive) to the beach if I have to.)  I grew up by the Atlantic Ocean but the Pacific will do.  See you soon!

Thanks so much for providing the comps! I am so looking forward to the coming weekend!

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Hi,
That's great!  The tickets will be in will-call; y'all had better pm me your full names so I can do that.   I am SO glad you are coming--it should be a great concert--and I'll hang out by the will-call so you may see me.
Best,
Marci

The way things are going in the world, plan on the uprising.  Just remember to tell everyone you encounter, "I'm having brain tumor surgery next week" and they'll say "oh" as they think "poor b**stard" and let you move on thinking "Thank God it's not me."  It works like a charm -- or a curse -- don't know which.  But you won't get stuck in any of those messy rebellions.
See you soon.

Made it back to Singapore, and its great when all these govt uprisings takes place, the airports and beaches in Thailand were brilliant no one there.  Very relaxing, mad rush now packing,  I must have had nomadic ancestors, for me a tooth brush and spare pair of undies is all I need, wife is a bit more old school, put it this way when we went to Hong Kong for a long weekend the hotel porter genuinely asked if we were relocating to HK as he struggled with two trolleys

See you all soon.

Ok, so I've got comp tickets waiting at will-call for Lainie, Nancy and David.  Anyone else decides to go you can let me know even at the last minute.  I will have my computer and therefore access to email with me.
See you all soon!

I'm here in LA!  I'll see David, Nancy and Lainie at the concert (I'm sitting with you) and everyone else at lunch.  So nice to be away from the frigid temps and ice and snow.  In a strange twist of fate, there is a neurological convention at this hotel. I'm tempted to ask them if they want to do show and tell.  :D
See you soon.

All,
Will have to miss lunch on Sunday because I need to go back to Ohio unexpectedly (on the Saturday night red-eye). Fortunately, I spent all of yesterday with friends and colleagues in Santa Monica and did in fact watch the sunset.  It felt so good to see/hear/smell the ocean and feel the sand beneath my feet that I got all sappy and cried.  We watched dolphins and seals play,  had a picnic, replete with wine, on the beach and had an all round wonderful day.  Thanks for the suggestion; it was well worth it. 

I'm looking forward to seeing Lainie, David and Nancy at the concert tomorrow at 2pm--could one of you bring a camera so we can at least have a picture?  As for everyone else, I'm sorry I won't meet up with you, but don't be surprised if I just move here.   :P

Best,
Marci

Dolphins?  Are you sure they weren't surfers in dark wetsuits?  I'm glad you had a good day -- too bad the weather isn't better.  And whether you realize it or not, there was an earthquake yesterday around 1 PM -- a 3.2 I think.

Definitely dolphins.  They did a few flips for us!  And we were listening to the waves crash so never noticed an earthquake.

Marci,

I'm sorry you'll miss the lunch on Sunday, but I'm SO glad you got to spend time at the ocean and see the sunset. Even with the wet weather, it's always wonderful to experience the beach, and all the better when you can catch a glimpse of the dolphins swimming just beyond the surf. Sounds like you had a great day. ;D

(David - I never even felt the earthquake yesterday - I only found out from watching the news!)

I'll be at the concert tomorrow with camera in hand. Maybe Lainie can even try another video with her cell phone.  ;)

Looking forward to seeing you, Lainie and David tomorrow - and Francesco, Rick and family, and maybe a few others on Sunday.

Nancy
