While I do appreciate the generosity, I am a touch confused about this anonymous delivery of the movie "The Birdcage" to my front door. I don't have a lot of experience, but I believe flowers are a more traditional gift? Besides, though my wife isn't at time of writing present in Babylon, please remember that I am a married man.

The truth is, Max and I's living conditions are making it quite difficult, one might even say nigh on impossible, to watch DVD discs with ease. however I wanted to thank my well-meaning benefactor and I promise I will watch this movie as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Max and I have almost finished our script! If you want us to change your name, now is the time to let us know — while we are in the all important editing period. We will be accepting people who wish to audition for the part of themselves, though by default the lead role of Yagami Raito is open to anyone. I'm sure I don't have to explain why! Further details regarding audition dates will be posted shortly. Really this is more a journal entry than a factsheet, but I don't think I'm the only one to use these things for that purpose.

I don't mean to be the kind of man that has only one thing on his mind, but Max reminded me that even though we've already been using these things extensively over the course of the musical, they could probably be very useful for more advertising now that the show is so very close to opening!

That is to say, Bye Bye Babylon, a Bialystock and Bloom production, will be opening on the Tenth of May, which is the Saturday after next! Of course you're all going to want to come and see this masterpiece of a musical, which we believe should appeal to everyone from all ages and races. And worlds, I suppose! Tickets are available now right up until the final performance at prices which vary from $60 to $15 depending on whether or not you're willing to use a scale replica of the Palomar 200-inch optical reflecting telescope to view the proceedings, hahaha.

The opening performance starts at 7pm, however we advise you take your seats by 6:30. There will be a matinée performance on Sunday the Eleventh at midday, and another 7pm performance that night. The show will repeat itself on the Sixteenth and Seventeenth of May, also at 7pm, with our final show on Sunday the Eighteenth of May at 8:30pm.

The musical itself stars new talent Gau and venerated stage actress Fujioka Haruhi, not to mention a cast of dozens of others of theatrical virtuosos handpicked from the citizens of Babylon, including Suou Tamaki, Ema Skye, Lilly Kane, Amane Misa, Aang, Daisy Adair, Cordelia Chase, Neil Perry, and plenty of the other young men and women you have come to know and love; come along and support them!

Cast and crew are reminded that the final dress rehearsal is next Thursday; please be prompt. And remember to let your friends and family, coworkers and roommates, or in short everyone you know when and where to come and see you perform.

Thankyou very much, Babylon, for your inspiration and interest, and I'm sure we'll see you all at Bye Bye Babylon! Please don't pull down the fliers.

Hello, friendly Babylon residents! It is I, Leo Bloom, producer, director, scriptwriter and accountant — and I have a humble request to make of you all. During production of our musical, Max and I find that we are in need of various difficult-to-procure items to be used in construction of the stage, set design, or as props. Being that each and every item is of the most vital importance to our musical, if anybody can assist us in obtaining any of the following, with a preference for cheaply, we would be extremely grateful!

- A smoke machine.
- Two asian folding screens
- Eight jars of peanut buter (chunky)
- A piano.
- A blood-stained lab coat. (Real blood!!)
- Five medium sized rubber-ducks.
- A film projector.
- Full set of golf clubs including balls and tees.
- Two sheets of 6' x 4' x .5" plywood.
- Any amount of fake guns.
- A confetti cannon.
- Lots and lots and lots of cotton balls.
- A model train set (MUST be green.)
- About twenty empty cardboard boxes of various sizes!
- Black material, no pattern.
- Glitter, sequins, and false brooches.
- Red cellophane (enough to cover two largeish people!)
- The soundtrack to War of the Worlds (as narrated by Richard Burton).

MAX! FROM WHAT I HEAR, OUR LEADING LADY, or our co-leading lady, MAY HAVE LITERALLY BROKEN HER LEG. Or injured it in some other, not quite as ironic manner. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, MAX?

I am quite busy, almost to the point of falling asleep while typing this up! which is concerning for a man of my previous profession, a man who once spent long dull hours slaving over a hot keyboard. BUT NO MORE! Bialystock and Bloom are producing again!

This is just a reminder that the first read-through of Bye Bye Babylon will be occurring this Friday!

It will be in the same apartment as the auditions were held, 302 Taurus. We already have plenty of interest, and expect all the cast and crew to be there.

Of course, we're still accepting late auditions, and if Max's previous casting call struck your intrest, why not come along?

We will need extras.

Lots of extras.

I don't really understand why that nice man wouldn't let us into the ball. I had a flier and everything! It's not like Max and I were each other's dates or anything, we were flying solo. Still, I guess that means going back to the (surprisingly few!) scripts in the apartment. There doesn't seem to be much of a market for theatre here, not that that will stop us.

You know, it occurs to me that given the new generation's lack of knowledge of the classics, it's likely an enterprising businessman could reproduce old scripts as their own work. Still, I suppose that would be a difficult undertaking, and I'm consumed with my own work on Bye Bye Babylon at the moment.
