Here is an upcoming DVD set that might be of interest to some DRs...

I don't know Elmore, if he were in a Mariachi band I think I would pay to go to see it.

I wonder where one buys such shiny shorts?

One of my favorite storybook houses is in LA, on Larchmont. I usually stay in this neighborhood whenever I work in LA because I like walking around the neighborhood---the houses and gardens are so beautiful! This house is just south of Larchmont Village. It has a little wishing well in the front and a sign that say: "I'm Wishing", with a picture of Snow White. I asked Van Dyke Parks about it, since he lives in the neighborhood, and he said that the house had belonged to Adriana Caselotti, the original voice of Disney's Snow White. She has since passed on, but here's a picture of the house, which I now refer to as The White House, (not to be confused with the "other" White House, where Dopey lives...)

Nice Michael Shayne cover. Thanks MBarnum. I read one of the books and enjoyed it.

We have lots of stores in Atlanta where one can find shiny shorts.

In the above photo, the wishing well is on the right. Here's a CU:

elmore - your CD is on its way to you via USPS overnight shipping. It will be there in the morning, sometime before noon, I think that's the guarantee. I'll see if there's someplace to tick that you don't have to sign for it, that they can just leave it, but it will be there so look for it.

Sorry I had to pull these pix from such a moribund site. It is interesting, though.

Well, here's Snow White herself:

She was 18 in 1937 when she got the part and was paid $970 for her work.

Edisauris I have never stayed in that part of town, oddly I have rarely been there. It is very pretty. Do you stay in a hotel or someone's home?

I used to stay in an apartment above the hardware store in Larchmont Village, also at the director's house on Windsor. But usually I stay at a cheap hotel I love: The Wilshire Dunes.

It's one of those '50's motels, small with no amenities except a lovely little pool in a courtyard. It's cheap and shoddy and I feel right at home. It's usually about $75-85 a night and the people who work there are very nice. I usually take a red-eye flight and get there early in the AM. They always try to get a room ready as soon as they can so I can collapse. The fancier hotels are not always so accomodating!

"Mike and the Mariachi Grandfather" -- that's the title of my next dime novel.

What fabric is that? Satin?

I am definitely looking forward to some "NEW" programming on TV tonight. Love "Ugly Betty", love "Grey's Anatomy", love "Smallville" and like "Supernatural."

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Back in the Seventies, I went to see Hallelujah Hollywood (or whatever it was called) at the original MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Part of that show was this fantastic pair of magicians named Siegfried and Roy. They weren't headliners yet, but their act was the most incredible magic act I had ever seen.

My parents saw them in Vegas as headliners about a year before "the accident" and they were absolutely thrilled by their show. They loved it!

Tonight, CBS is in reruns, but ABC's complete slate (including UGLY BETTY and GREY'S ANATOMY), NBC's complete slate (including its comedy line-up and ER), and CW's slate (SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL) are new episodes. So, there will be plenty to see and even more to record!

I only watch the ABC slate, but I'll have to record them tonight. I'm working concessions for the Seattle Symphony at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts. I bet that there'll be a LOT of wine drinkers there, tonight!

Man! With all the Brandenburg pieces, they'll be tipping plenty of wine.

When the Vivaldi kicks in, I imagine there'll be a snoozer or two.

DR MBarnum, is there a title you'd like?

Jane · « **Reply #147 on:** January 11, 2007, 11:40:29 AM »

Edisauris-Thanks. Next time I'm in that part of the city I will pay more attention to the area.

We tend to stay in different areas, mostly staying on the West side of town where our family is located. Recently we have been staying in Santa Monica and enjoying walks along the beach in the mornings. Now we need to find a hotel in the area that permits big dogs. We do have friends who have offered for us to stay with him, they just live a good distance from West L.A. and a nice morning walk to get Keith his Pete’s coffee.
