December 11, 1991
Dear Everyone:
Yes! We got the tickets for Ashland. And, yes! We
got all the tickets for all the plays we wanted on the days that we
wanted.
The schedule is as follows:
Monday 7/27/92 Drive to
Ashland Tuesday 7/28/92 Backstage
Tour 10:00 S Shopping 8:30 E $22.00 Wednesday 7/29/92 2:00 S $22.00 8:30 E $22.00 Thursday 7/30/92
Ladies of the Camellias 2:00 B $15.40
Othello 8:30 E $22.00 Friday 7/31/92 2:00 B $22.00 Shopping
Britt
Festival (maybe) Saturday 8/1/92 Drive Home
(S – Black Swan: B – Angus Bowmer; E – Elizabethan Pavilion)
Total cost per person, tickets only: $125.40; we
got Preview price on one of the plays.
I plan to make some attempt to find out about the
Britt Festival. Right now all we
know is that the 1992 schedule will be confirmed in February and the 31st
of July looks like a violin solo.
In other news…
This is one of those short weeks, where I'm only in
the office three days and can't work late because it's my turn to drive
the Big Blue Brute (our Van Pool van). I'm
also trying to put together an agenda for this Friday's Conference Call.
A Conference Call is one where the six Records
Centers, Records Management and CITC all get together via telephone to
discuss business. I found out
that you can connect up to 48 phone lines (called “ports”) for this kind
of call.
Frankly, I wouldn't want to even
try to talk to 48 different
people at the same time. Still,
it's a lot cheaper than flying.
But getting all those people to tell me what to put
on the agenda is a bit of a pain. So,
last thing on this month's agenda is: Somebody
else gets to set up the Call next time!
The Records Management Study Team finally completed
their Recommendation and we each got a copy of the draft--all 52 pages
of it. Comments to be into the
Manager by tomorrow afternoon (on top of everything else that needs to
be done this week).
“Jeannie” and I are going to try to get into the
City this weekend for her Birthday and to look at the Christmas Windows.
Movie reviews…
Walt Disney's
Beauty and the Beast.
Four ****’s. By all means, take
your kids to see this one. If
you don't have any kids, borrow one.
Star Trek IV:
The Undiscovered Country.
Everybody's getting a little
long in the tooth and the writers go a bit heavy on the quotes from
Shakespeare (the title is from
Hamlet) but the
jokes keep moving it along. Starts
with a nice little tribute to the late
Gene Roddenberry
who started it all 25 years ago. Worth
the price of a bargain ticket.
Love, as always,
Pete
