HOBNOBBING

Bruce Kimmel Photograph bk's notes

Well, dear readers, we had another lovely day at the Hollywood Collector’s Showcase yesterday. It started off very slowly, but there seemed to be a steady stream of people all day and by the end of it we’d all done fine. I can’t wait for you all to see the photos we took of all the hobnobbing and nobhobbing that was going on, and I hope and trust that all photos, including the recording session photos will be up and running by Friday in our revamped Unseemly Photo Section. I hobnobbed with Miss Billie Hayes, Mammy Yokum from the film of Li’l Abner – what a delight she is, and I’m telling you if they did a revival of the show she could still do the part. I also hobnobbed with the divoon Miss Tura Satana, star of Mr. Russ Meyer’s classic Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill. I sold a few more books and DVDs and met a lot of nice folks. Miss Susan Gordon had a very good time as well and the whole affair was simply too too.

As most of you know, we had a bit of deesaster here at haineshisway.com when Mr. Mark Bakalor’s entire system crashed, hence our site was down for a good portion of yesterday. Happily, there didn’t seem to be any damage done to anything except our most excellent stats, but such is life. Hopefully steps will be taken to preclude anything like this from happening again. We thank Mr. Mark Bakalor for staying on top of it and getting the site back up and running as quickly as possible.

Today I shall be recording the final vocal for our new CD, with Mr. Jason Graae singing a medley of strange rock-and-roll songs from 50s horror films. And tonight I shall be going to the Gardenia nightclub with our very own Mr. Donald Feltham to see my friend Linden Waddell.

Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because to not do so would leave us stuck on this page and then we wouldn’t be able to finish these here notes, you wouldn’t be able to make excellent posts and the whole damn thing would be too too unseemly for words.

Has anyone noticed that June, June, June (that is three Junes) is in its final day? This month has just flown by, hasn’t it? Well, tomorrow will be a brand spanking new month and let’s hope that July will bring some fireworks, some sparkle, some pizzazz.

Speaking of sparkle, we had a wonderful lively and sparkling chat last night with a roomful of people engaging in amusing discourse all the livelong night. Apparently after I left for dinner an uncouth interloper of some sort paid a visit but the visit was short-lived from what I was told.

Dear readers Laura and Sandra came into town and Susan and I hobnobbed and supped with them last evening, then we all came back to my home and watched Broadway musical numbers. I’ll let Laura and/or Sandra post about it. They will be attending the Jason Graae session today and we shall all hobnob until the cows come home. Have we actually looked at the word “hobnob”? I mean, honestly, what can you say about such a word as “hobnob”?

Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must go hither and thither and definitely yon, and I must make phone calls, and do other errands as well. Don’t forget to check out Juliana’s Journal and Donald’s new radio show and Miss Christianne Tisdale’s Unseemly Interview. Today’s topic of discussion: We started to do this late yesterday, but not many people got a chance to, so even if you did it do it again – in honor of Miss Katherine Hepburn’s passing, what are you favorite Katherine Hepburn movies? I’ll start – Summertime, Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Bringing Up Baby, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (sue me), and most of the Tracy/Hepburn comedies. Your turn. Post often, dear readers, and let’s make up for the crash of yesterday – let’s send June out with a big old bang, shall we?
