Profile for Highland Guy

kdogg36 said: "Though I have no objection to this thread being on the main board and I thank Highland Guy for sharing the information, I think people are being a little harsh onRUkiddingme. There's a colorable argument that this is not directly on-topic. I acknowledge your arguments that COVID is still very much an important issue for Broadway, but so is the presidential election, and I personally would hesitate to start a thread about that on the main board."

Forme it was to get news on COVID tests. I love COVID test news! I wish they sold merch!

Does anyone know where the TDF Covid tests are located? And what time should I get in line in the morning to get the rush covid tests?"

I'm done."
I hope you do update as I will probably forget until I would actually need one. :)"

I will, and I hope others will post the link when it opens, as well.  Not sure why I was able to order my kit.

Here's a bit of info about the Covid-19 vaccines.  I get my shot this week.

Broadway was devastated by Covid.  People were sick; people died; theatres closed; people lost their jobs and income.  It was a tragedy, and Covid remains with us.  I don't understand why RUkiddingme decided to ridicule this thread, and why others gave his comment a "thumbs up".  

Stay healthy.

UPDATE

Kits should be available in late September, but you can order now.

Once again, the Federal Government is offering free Covid-19 test kits.  4 kits per household, available in late September.

Covid is still with us.  Stay safe, stay healthy.

Where did I say that I am "okay with this"?  Hmmm?

Why would you care how other people spend their money?

 

In December, 1966, I was a new 19-year-old sailor making my way to my first U.S. Navy ship in Scotland.  I was to fly out of NYC (my first time in the city), but the weather was bad so the Navy put me up at the Waldorf Astoria for two nights (not a luxury suite, I assure you).  In the lobby, I was wearing my "Blues" that had white stars on the two corners of the back collar.  I felt someone touching my back, and heard two people say "luck".  When I turned around, it was a middle-aged couple who told me that touching the stars was meant to bring me luck.  That simple gesture meant so much to this teen-aged sailor.  Through the years, there were numerous times that my stars would be touched and I was wished "luck".  But that first time in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria remains a special memory.

So, yeah, I LOVE NYC  !! 

And as a Queer guy, I can't forget the Rainbow Community.

It seems that no matter where in the world I am, so many of the shows I really want to see are somewhere else.  Thus, with "The Dead, 1904".  What an exceptional opportunity to see the great Estelle Parsons and Mary Beth Peil together on stage!  My very best to all involved.

Excellent.  Happy to know she has recovered.  The show was in good hands with Marsha during Mia's absence.

Just a heads-up.  The film version of "Gypsy" will be shown on TCM on September 26th.

"Just curious," as they say.

In planning a trip to NYC from the West Coast, I was searching the vast internet for information about Broadway shows.  Up popped BWW.  Many years later, here (still) I am.

And you?

based on how well her tour sold, you may be the only one with this reaction."

No.

Yes!  Those historic, magnificent bridges.

And then, of course, there's Broadway to love.

When visiting from the West Coast, NYC gives me the quirky mix of grit and glamour that I love.

Why do you  NYC?

I have no interest in the attendant gossip, but I am very excited to see "Kiss of the Spider Woman".  First, because I am perhaps only one of six people on Planet Earth who has not seen "Kiss" either on stage or film.  And second, because it stars Jennifer Lopez.  I mean, JENNIFER LOPEZ !!
