Well, you've read the notes, the notes were hidden and had treasures, and now it is time for you to post until the hidden cows come home.

And the word of the day is: INCHOATE!

To answer Shayne's late night post about the Bells Are Ringing color photos - there's one of Mu-Cha-Cha, most of which was cut from the film, including the shot I have. Oh, and I found three original interior pages for two issues of the Dark Horse Godzilla comics. These are quite fun. Have no idea if they've gone up in value. One other thing - when we cleaned out the storage facility I had bought all these Godzilla toys in the late 90s and just kept them in storage. There's one up on eBay now for three grand - not that anyone would ever get that kind of dough, but I have every one they issued and they're all as new so I think the helper is going to list those on eBay for maybe a hundred or two hundred each. Why not?

I also have some original art for G Fan, the Godzilla fanzine - I believe it's for one of the interior stories - it's really nice - and in the garage. That's the next thing I'll begin going through. I also have in the hall closet, Leon Joosen's wonderful original painting we used for the Sax and Violence album.

At the very least when I put all this away it will go in the garage on shelves where I can both access and find it easily, as I'll definitely sell a lot of this stuff I just don't really need.

In case you couldn't picture what I was talking about in terms of the little circular Jean Simmons in Spartacus thing - the display at the Pantages had separate ones for everyone in the cast and they're exactly what's on this window card on eBay - so what I've got is a large version of that Jean Simmons circle. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPARTACUS-1961-rare-Roadshow-engagement-window-card-poster-SAUL-BASS-titles-NF-/231334764186?hash=item35dca05e9a:g:YgwAAOSwDk5UFkOo

Found several posters from that Alan Menken Stephen Schwartz benefit I directed back in 2007, signed by most of, if not all of the cast (some signatures are really hard to read) - but I can clearly see Cindy Williams, Linda Purl, Patrick Cassidy, Kevin Spirtas, Alice Ripley, Michelle Nicastro, and there are lots more. I'm happy to sell these at fifty bucks each - at the event they were 200 each.

DR TCB, I have never cared for Whitman's chocolates.

Lovely treasures! I am enjoying reading about them!

And such great photos from DR CHAS SMITH!

I finally got measurements from the actors, so i am going to travel to Goodwill this morning and see if I see anything worthwhile.

I had a very poor night of sleep, but I am now awake and pondering my day.

I own a George Gershwin drawing that Mrs Ira Gershwin gave me.

DR TCB, I think it's wonderful you were invited to take another cruise. You do get around!

Fan letter reply from Rod Serling.

Two or three scores given to me and inscribed by Jim Levine.

A few movie lobby cards that might have a smidgen of value now. A fair number of Hitchcock ones, and some color 8x10s, that I think definitely would.

I am, too. The wonderful thing about such treasures is that the variety is, quite simply, infinite.

And thank you, DR Jrand65. It was a different and interesting project. I'd happily do something like it again sometime. Weather the first week made the conditions less than ideal, but at least we (and the audience) were under cover. My next gig is another outdoor venue, where I have no idea of the working conditions yet.

BK,

I'm not a big fan of Ford's cavalry pictures either. I like RIO GRANDE the best.

Actually, with the exceptions of STAGECOACH and THE SEARCHERS, I'm not a fan of Ford's Westerns.

Aside from THE SEARCHERS, my favorite Ford films are THE GRAPES OF WRATH, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY and THE QUIET MAN.

Happy 21th of June....the Firth Day of Summer, as I recall.

TOD:

Plenty of "treasures," including signed lobby cards by Humphrey Bogart, Orson Welles, Jimmy Cagney, Cary Grant, Abbott & Costello, Lana Turner. Perhaps my 2 favorites are STAGE DOOR, signed by Hepburn, Rogers and Ball, and KISS ME KATE, signed by Grayson, Keel, Miller and Rall,

Also have signed sheet music signed by Jolson, Chevalier, Astaire, etc.

In the 1970s I had letters from Lotte Lenya and Benjamin Britten. I have no idea now where either might be!
