I'm really bad, but which song is this? I am sure I remember the lyrics
and the tune better than the title.

He has two shows in NJ (one at the John Harms and one at the State Theatre)
which have to be rescheduled from their original 11/9-11/20 dates. Don't
know when they are yet. The websites just say they will probably 'be
rescheduled in the Spring', but if he's doing a play, I would doubt that.
Unless he's going for Monday nights to make up the shows.
Also a show in Stamford CT which has to be rebooked rrom 9/26

Subject: San Antonio Spur
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 1999 10:03:55 -0700
Yes, back from my first visit to San Antonio. I wonder what could possibly
have spurred me to go there?
I had a glorious weekend even before last night's concert--which was quite
a weekend capper. The concert was terrific, as usual, with many of the
songs mentioned previously. Mandy said he hadn't performed "Ugly Duckling"
in a while and threw that one in. Also performed "Brother, Can You Spare a
Dime?". Lots of stuff from Kidults and other songs I hadn't heard in a
while.
The show started 20 minutes late because there was some problem with the
lights, but Mandy seemed in fine form. He indicated that this was his last
concert for a few weeks because he was catching an early flight to LA to
shoot Chicago Hope again. He didn't seem tired and his voice was in pretty
darn good shape.
While waiting for Paul to find the sheet music to brother can you spare a
dime, Mandy told a joke. I'm not sure if he has told this joke elsewhere
or not. He at first said he heard it from Adam Arkin, then corrected that
and said it was told to him by one of the CH writers. Something about an
African American, a Jew and a WASP walking down a street in the U.S. while
kicking a bottle. Then out comes a genie to grant each of them a wish.
The African American wishes that all African Americans go back to Africa.
The Jew wishes that all Jews in America go to Israel. The WASP says "All
the African Americans are going to Africa? All the Jews are going to
Israel? Then I'll have diet coke."
Well, it was kind of funny when he told it....
Mandy opened with "Ten Kopeks" and told the Kathryn/date story. He saw me
in the front row and reached down and gave me the napkin after "Mazel Tov."
Mandy mentioned that the event was sponsored by the Jewish Community Center
partly and then said he'd do something he hadn't done since he was 13. He
told the story about how he got involved in the JCC and rebelled against
his parents when they told him they'd pull him out of plays if his grades
didn't improve. (Mandy played hookie from school when he was pulled out
of the plays. His parents surrendered and put him back in the plays.) Then
he did the tap dancing from the show that he did at 13.
It's not true that Mandy hadn't done this since he was 13 since I saw him
do a little bit of this in Marin County a couple of years back. But he
certainly did more of it in San Antonio. Quite hilarious to see him tap in
New Balance shoes. Is he doing this anywhere else?
The audience participation song went fine. Lots of people went up onstage
surrounding him on all sides. I didn't go up, but did toss up some "Lone
Star flag" boxers that were quite loud when he mentioned throwing gifts at
his feet while giving directions. He promptly reached down and threw them
back out in my direction (the lady next to me had moved forward and caught
them but gave them back) saying that I had to wait for the cue.
When the song ended Mandy asked for his glasses, told the crowd they could
touch Paul too, and read some note on a package someone gave him. In the
package was a camera (is that person on this list?) and a lady asked to
have a picture taken with Mandy. Or maybe it was to take a picture with
the little girl who was onstage. I think I digress and that was later....
Someone else left her earring for Mandy. At some point Mandy ripped some
guy's business card up. Then he put on the shorts that I had thrown back on
the stage (over his pants). He made jokes about wearing them on Chicago
Hope, Then Mandy asked a little girl what she got him. She said "A kiss."
Very cute. Mandy got down on his knee and she kissed him on the lips.
Mandy wore the shorts for a while then asked if he looked silly in them.
The crowd yelled "No" but he eventually tooke them off. He said he'd wear
them on the plane the next morning so someone would notice and talk to him.
Someone had left lipstick as a gift. Mandy started telling a story later
about how on Chicago Hope he is not as bald because they didn't want the
lights reflecting on his bald head. He said they paint a bit of it in. He
joked, "It was either that or hair plugs." Then he joked about network
executives and producers handing down orders from on high about covering
bald spots.
Later on, I don't even remember the context at the moment, some guy yelled
out something about "Your bald spot is reflecting!" I think Mandy asked if
he was lit enough when he sat on the side of the stage. After this was
yelled out, Mandy went and got the lipstick and colored in his baldspot.
Later he was smoothing his hair and got it all over his hands. The
lipstick was smooshed all over and was quite visible when he sat on the
edge.)
MP got his usual several standing ovations, including after Buddy Blues (I
LOVE IT when he does that routine). "Oh What a Circus" he performed
brilliantly as well. Earlier in the show messed up the Minute Waltz and
started over. He thought he messed up Ugly Duckling, but Paul assured him
he had not.
After the concert there were just a few people from the JCC who saw him
first, then about 20 others waiting. Smallest crowd I've seen in a while
after a concert, actually.
I talked to MP a bit about Wild Party. He said Vanessa Williams isn't
doing it because she's pregnant. He asked if I knew anything about Toni
Collette and I said only that she's Australian. He asked me if I'd seen
Sixth Sense and pointed out that she was the mother and mentioned
specifically the scene with the boy in the car. He seems excited to be
working with her.
I asked Mandy about the Japanese film he purportedly had done the voiceover
for. He asked me how I knew about that and I mentioned there is
information on the web about it. He seemed surprised at what kind of
information you can find on the web and asked how I found it. I said by
doing a search on his name. He laughed when I said 'You'd be surprised what
you can find. On the web you can even find what boards you serve on." He
then said a bit about the voiceover job--naming a friend who had got him
involved. He said he thought it was supposed to be released in theaters,
but didn't have a clue about when.
I told Mandy that he wasn't the only one flying back to LA in the morning.
He asked what time I was flying. I said 6:45am and he said "We're on the
same plane!" He seemed to think I live in San Fran (probably because of
the multitude of concerts I've seen there.) and asked if I was then flying
to San Francisco.
After we conversed a bit more, we said goodbye. He said "Get some sleep!
I'll see you in the morning!" Off he went to the rental Ford Explorer
with Staci and Paul.
Sure enough as I approached my gate in the morning, there was Mandy just
boarding with first class (they boarded very early.) As I boarded, he saw
me, smiled and said "hello." We talked very briefly while I waited in the
aisle and then I sat in "steerage" a mere three seats behind him. The
curtains between sections were not closed for long, so I saw his lovely
bald head and New Balance shoes for much of the flight.
If you are curious about what Mandy did on the flight.... he drank orange
juice, read the New York Times (even during takeoff--when he had to be
asked to straighten his seat ;) ) and later read his CH script.
(Presumably running his lines for the day.)
When we got to LA, we both were in the baggage area. I left him alone
because he was clearly talking on the phone. (Actually, he looked like he
was talking to himself, but it's because he has a phone with an ear piece
or something other.) I think he was asking the CH production office if
they had sent a car for him. He mentioned he had another car at the
airport if they didn't.
A bit later I saw a driver with him claiming his bags off the carousel.
Then I heard him say my name and saw him walking toward me. We shook
hands, he said something to me which I can't quite remember. Something
along the lines of "Good seeing you... blah blah blah... until next time."
I said something like "Go give 'em hell as Geiger." Then I asked what
episode he was working on. He said #8. That was about it.... He was
driven off in a town car on his way to the Fox lot. (After he left, I
realized he called me by my real name. I didn't know he knew it as he
always calls me "phantm" or "Phantom Pants.")
Kind of an interesting evening and morning for me...
phantm<--sorry for the rambling post (and I'mprobably forgetting lots of
things as I think I got about an hour of sleep)

My three year old loved it. She didn't have Huxley problems until we got home.
I took out my picture of Mandy and me and explained that he was just playing
pretend as Huxley and has two children of his own and would never hurt a child.
Now she looks at the picture to remind herself that mommy met him and he is very
nice, and would never really hurt anyone.

Hey! I know Jane Lanier's brother Gary! He played the Steward in "Into
the Woods" when I played Cinderella's Stepmother. We shared a little
moment of tension during the Giant scene. ;-) He's a dancer, too, and was
just in "Assassins" at the university I attend. She is from my hometown
of Ft. Wayne Indiana. Just a little trivia for y'all!
