What do you need to leave under your Pillow for one to visit you?

Cookie Monster was visited by the Cookie Fairy on the most recent season of Sesame Street. She looked a lot like Sandra Oh. ;)

You look a lot shorter than in your vacation pics. :D:

The height is explained by the fact that the guy I Photoshopped my head onto is down on one knee. I figure the width -- or lack of it -- is harder to explain away!

How about, the actual picture taken was wider and instead of being cropped the edges were pushed in.

It's the striped shirt. Yeah that's it.

Vertical stripes are slimming! :D:

Just wanted to report that last night's first show was phenomenal, and the Dapper Dans are AMAZINGLY entertaining and fun!

Two more shows today!!! If you're in the DFW area, come on!

Wish I was.

Hmm. Can you tell us the names of the songs in the programme of music? I know posting the lyrics would definitely break the copyright laws.

Okay, guys, here is a picture I am going to treasure for a long time!



And this is a shot of the Dans... er, I mean, the Humdingers, performing, from the vantage point of the chorus. We sat on our risers behind a black scrim during their 30-minute set at the start of the second half of the shows:

Here's the line-up. This was a "Hit Parade" show, where attendees at our Spring shows and fans online voted for their favorites from our repertoire.

First Half

• Harmony
• Moments to Remember
• A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square
• Elijah Rock
• How Deep Is the Ocean
• They Call the Wind Maria (performed by soloist Jeff Oxley and a small subset of the chorus, the Phil-Harmonics)
• One song from the Humdingers (a different one each show)
• Can't Smile Without You
• Jimmy Webb Medley: Didn't We Almost Make It This Time / Macarthur Park
• Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho

Second Half

• The Humdingers, 30 minutes
• Georgia On My Mind (from our Anaheim contest set)
• Sweet Georgia Brown (from our Anaheim contest set)
• Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
• Stars and Stripes Forever
• Pledge of Allegiance / God Bless the USA
• Tribute to World Peace: Let There Be Peace On Earth / One Voice / One Song
• Moments to Remember (reprise)

The shows were a great deal of fun for us, the Dans, and the audience. We had a bit of excitement at the matinee this afternoon when a lightning strike knocked out all the power in the building right in the middle of Nightingale! We finished the song, and hey, we mostly are an a cappella group, so we did the remainder of the first half with no sound system and emergency lighting only (leaving out only Can't Smile, which has a orchestra track). It was definitely a moment to remember! We had the power back by the second half and finished the rest without incident.

Great times! I wish I could fly you all in for a show someday. But since I can't, start saving your nickels -- tickets for the Christmas shows are on sale now!!! :D:
