I am going to have really really good luck after this.

We drank some Wreck-Ah and laughed a lot.

Ephesus: Just Like New York 2,000 Years Ago

Carnegie Rocks — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:14:46 +0000

This place was like New York City 2,000 years ago, They had plumbing and everything.

A lot of the houses and stores weren't is such great shape, but the marble city was magnificent

This is one of the biggest coliseums in the ancient world. The acosutics are still great!

All the roads were paved with marble. This was a wealthy and opulent city!

This nice lady was minding her sheep just accross from the entrance to the city. Baa!

The sky was wild all day the day we visited Ephesus. Very dramatic, huh?

During the day, the sun came out and it was gorgeous.

The sunset over the Agean Sea was special. too.

I Went on Vacation to Turkey

Carnegie Rocks — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:34:33 +0000

This is Marsha. The plane was gargantuan (500 peeps on the plane). That's why the engine is so big!

I was a good cat and I went to most of my Mom's lectures.

This is Mom doing her thing. She even got a very nice award!

“God of Carnage” and the Caprice at the Pierre: An Evening with Ken Stott

Carnegie Rocks — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:40:10 +0000

Wow! I got to be in "God of Carnage" on Broadway. This is me on the set. I played one of the pillows.

This is Ken Stott actually during the play,"God of Carnage." He is a great actor and he's my buddy.

As usual, I earned my keep by helping out back stage.

After the show my friends Zach, Ken (as himself), Nina, and Marsha all got to be on the stage, too.

Here we are leaving the theater, ready to face our fans; it's sort of like Madison Square Garden.

The Caprice at the Pierre Hotel is one of the best restaurants in New York, maybe in the World!

Everyone at Caprice made a big deal about Ken because he is a big star.

The End

Friday Nite with Yoyo Ma & Emanual Ax at Carnegie Hall, and The Marshall Tucker Band at B.B. Kings

Carnegie Rocks — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:28:39 +0000

On Friday, January 29th, The Marshall Tucker Band was in Town the same night that Yoyo Ma and Emanual Ax were performing at Carnegie Hall. I saw both. Yoyo Ma & Emanual Ax were great, but to my liking, the program could have used a Brahms sonata. The MT Band, Southern Rock’s best, just keeps getting better and better.

: This duo — artistically combining passion, precision, and thematic planning — is outright heavely.

: This is the view from one of the side second tier boxes at Carnegie Hall; we sat here (in Box 16).

: Emaual Ax is every bit as much a showman and virtuoso as Yoyo Ma … well almost … lol.

: Here we are at B.B. Kings on 42nd Street; this is where the MT Band is playing.

: As usual, I helped out back stage and with the sound.

: Doug Gray is the lead singer and leader of the pack. Doug is the sweetest, kindest man in the world.

: Marcus Henderson plays the flute, sax, and keyboard with equal agility and insanity.

: I took this picture of Rose, Doug, and Mom. I guess I should have used the flash, huh?

: This is Doug Gray and Terry Proctor; Terry taught me how to do this WordPress so I can report to you.

“A Little Night Music” with the Beautiful and Talented Catherine Zeta-Jones

Carnegie Rocks — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 06:17:36 +0000

: The Walter Kerr Theater has these cool classical murals.

: Catherine Zeta-Jones was really wonderful. After seeing Night Music, I’d see her in anything

: Catherine, if you ever leave Michael Douglas for any reason, PLEASE call me right away.

She has a very nice singing voice; “Send in the Clowns” was my favorite song.

This exceptional show is thee hours long, so I bought a big bag of Skittles and big box of Milk Duds to eat.

“Avatar” the Movie Was Great in 3-D at the Lowe’s Theater on 34th Street!

Carnegie Rocks — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:15:14 +0000

I saw Avatar in 3-D but here are some still photos that I took. Yes, it’s me, Carnegie. and I don’t write reviews, but … The movie, Avatar, is like the futuristic pay-it-forward of colonialism. This great movie in 3-D will revive movie theaters, which maybe should consider expanding concessions to include actual food. My vote? This is the best movie of the year (so far), and I am not a science friction fan.

: I saw Avatar at Lowe’s Theater on 34th St. It has an old Hollywood feel complete with fake palm trees.

: The Lowe’s is a bit scary because there’s a very big King Kong on the wall.

: The rug is very nice. When the movie got a little too intense for me, I went out and stared at the rug.

: This is one of the Lowe’s light fixtures. I like them even more than the rug and I like the rug a lot.

: Avatar takes place on the planet “Pandora” at some time far in the future, like 2054.

: To get to Pandora, the humans go into suspended animation so that they don’t look old in the movie.

: Of course the movie is science fiction, but here is the hero of the movie’s brain just floating around.

: Some of the creatures on Pandora look like seriously upset and confused blue cows.

: The people are blue too, but they are long and thin and beautiful, like West Village models.

: Everyone on Pandora must have Facebook, because all the people there are well connected.

: Pandora is a very peaceful and beautiful planet (until the evil humans get there).

: Greedy Earthlings invade Pandora bringing way bad karma.

: The poor Pandorans have to get all painted up to go to war with the Earthlings.

: Unlike Earth, there is no sexism on Pandora. Females and males are equal.

: Avatar is a love story. Personally, I think that it’s a lot like Casablanca with Bogie and Ingrid Bergman.

: For this movie, get a really big thingy of popcorn and some Twizzlers, because the movie is 3 hours long.

American Composer Aaron Jay Kernis’ 50th Birthday Celebration at Poisson Rouge in Soho New York

Carnegie Rocks — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:07:05 +0000

Pulitzer Prize winning Aaron Jay Kernis is an American Composer of great renown. He had his 50th birthday celebration at Poisson Rouge and it was a wonderful musical event. I was just glad to be there.

The party was at Poisson Rouge, but the fish were actually big "gold fish."

This is the birthday boy himself. I think he really enjoyed his party.

The music was terrific because it was Aaron's music that they played.

Kernis, Kernis, Kernis, Tanenbaum and Luest

As usual, I earned my keep by helping out with the sound.

Happy NewYear! Carnegie Rocks in 2010 in Key West

Carnegie Rocks — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:48:38 +0000

New Years Eve 2010 in Key West was ushered in by the dropping of a ginormous red pump with a famed drag queen named Sushi inside it. CNN always covers the shoe drop. I love the performers and just people watching.

Sushi lands safely.

I actually got to be on stage with my friends at Bourbon Street. (The show was before the shoe drop.)

This is my friend Butch. He was one of the male dancers.

This is Joey, he is a dancer too. I think that he works out a lot.

These gorgeous women were the ladies in waiting for Sushi. I was really glad just to be in the show at all.

This beautiful young woman was the (not drag) Queen of the New Year 2010.

This friendly clan came over from Scotland just for this New Year's party.

Fast Buck Freddy had a great New Year's Eve

There were a lot of pirates in Key West. I think Key West is famous for having a lot of pirates.

This is Captain Mo. He is really a nice guy once you get to know him

Santa and I hung out. He was exhausted from working all through Christmas

This poor man was really angry because his boyfriend left him.

After everything was over, I was pretty hungry. So I went and had a bite at Jimmy's buffet.

This sculpture was at the Key West Airport. I always feel sad when I leaf Key West.
