It's just been extended and I hope to see it but I thought for certain that Hoch [Berkeley Rep] had some sort of link to Buffistadom. No? Yes?
I can hook you up with inside dope about ushering at the Berk Rep. The party line is here: [link] I've seen the Hoch play and it's very, very good. Short, also, which leaves lots of time to go out afterwards for coffee & dessert & chat & still get home before midnight.
I was worried about what to say when my grandmother passed away and, on the advice of many wonderful people here, told a story that showed her humor and people laughed. So many people came up to me later and told me their own fond remembrances after. It meant a lot to me.

I'm examining the carton from the grape tomatoes to find out where they're from. (I know they're not from around here. It's January.) Grown in Mexico, by a company based in New Jersey.
Near Todo Santos (where the real Hotel California is), the tomato growers for the US market have so depleted the water table that the aquifer literally collapsed, creating "springs" in some places that can't be stopped. Those people simply have to move. The sad thing is, once that upwelling water's gone... no more nifty underground places to store pure water!
I wish I lived somewhere where local produce year-round was more practical.coughcough: California! coughcough:
