I got it. Look for new clues for fabric and emission, gang.

If I PM Biblio when he's not online, will he still receive the message?

He won't receive it until he gets here, but it will pop up as soon as he logs on to the website.

Mac: None of the above for the answer I got. That emission clue is enough to make one sick.

P&L- I have a theatre degree and worked in technical theatre for twenty years or so, but none of that helped me find the word any quicker! Laughing

All hail Raggedy!

Hi macsm -- I started out as a Music major, and then they combined Music, Dance and Theatre into one... The Division Of Fine & Performing Arts..... so, I signed up for the required Theatre classes, and loved them.... we did Summer Stock Theatre, on campus, which was Wonderful, but exhausting.... 6 or 7 days per week, from 8 am to, sometimes, midnight..... which is where we created all the sets ourselves and painted the scrims.... made our own costumes.... ran the lighting.... props, etc.... Also, we all went to London for three months for Fall Quarter, and saw lots of plays, concerts, ballets, operas, including a week in Stratford-Upon-Avon.... ahhh, very fond memories!!

Where did you study Theatre??? In Texas???

Very Happy

No, I graduated from Louisiana State University and have worked in a dozen states or so as a stage manager. (Summer stock is a killer and only for the very young and enthusiastic, IMO.) I've stopped pursuing my theatre career now, and enjoy working only 40 hours a week instead of 70 or 80!

Your semester in England was a wonderful bonus - we used to save up all year to go to NYC for a week on the Christmas break. We'd see as many plays as we could cram in.

ahhh.... I drove through Louisiana State University, several years ago..... I was in New Orleans for a three-day conference. When the conference was over, I rented a car for a few days and drove first into the southern delta areas, and then up into Mississippi, to Naches. On the way back to New Orleans, I stopped in Baton Rouge and drove through the University, and stopped a couple of times. A beautiful campus... very spread out... very green and pretty...

I was in New York City in October, but did not have time to see a play. Darn. Next time.....

Very Happy
