DR Ron. My good freind Jim (who has spent the last 5 years in San Jose area) came to dinner (we needed someone to translate American to Oz etc for Jose), and took the photo. Our "rumpus" room (which was once a four car garage) is now our major entertaining area with TV, Pool table etc. The curtains are not hiding the stage!

I stand corrected by a fellow Taurus!   I forgot all about Dumbo.

 Look out–In coming! I guess I should have asked--Where’s the nearest fall out shelter on this board?  :D ;D

We only had 3 kids show up.  I gave them big handfuls of candy but I still have gobs.  I'll take it to work on Monday, I'm sure the "kids" there will enjoy it.

Tom, what a great picture. Good to finally see Colin as well. I'll have to post a larger pic of Anthony and me so you can see him as well.

We also need to get our dear Francois to post a picture. Maybe as he sits in the hotel lobby looking suave and debonaire.

Yes, I was worried that we wouldn't even get to 100 posts, but we did it, doubled it and now I am a happy Halloweener.

More art, this a beautiful piece from a 1919 Printzess dress brochure, by the brilliant Gene Pressler - this is one of my prizes.

Hey!  Don't forget the PERFECT Halloween entertainment.  All of us should revisit the famous "Halloween sequence" of "Meet Me in St. Louis"!

Thanks Ben. Please do post a picture of yourself and Ant. For the mysterious François we are faced with the difficulty of only having the hotel computer for access. Can we convince him to send a photo to one of us so that we can post it on his behalf.

The Andrews sisters certainly had a harmonious evening on the Oz tour. We still are waiting to see a photo of Jose's close encounter with a kangaroo. (Joey Joey Joey).

I hear clawing at my windows.  Those Oakland vampires are supposed to stay home on Halloween!

I guess they've been staking me out (so to speak)!

Love that art BK!

Saw some Norman Rockwell work here some years ago in Paris; the real stuff, not reproductions, and that was quite a moving experience! T'was in some big department store, but showcased as in a legitimate museum, for the Xmas season, and I was so taken that I went there three times...

DR Ron... so what was the translation given for SOIZIC;
a very uncommon first name here!

I've found the sitof said restaurant!

I was told it was a nickname for .... François!


Oh, and I had the portabello mushrooms and the warm duck confit salad.

It was scrumptiddlyumptious!

They had a special for dessert -- chocolate mousse!

Jason will pardon the expression!

That picture of the 1940ish woman in the fall leaves is quite lovely! You should give tours of your artwork! And it would be most interesting to know who that women in the painting is/was and what she looks like today!

Sandra, that picture of you is beautiful!

TD, thank you for enjoying the interviews! I just got mine in the mail today and have only flipped through it but it looks good! Lots of pics of Jeepers Creepers people in color...love the one of BK, Susan, and Zacherly!

"sitof"????

Didn't know I could write Russian that well!

site of...

Was checking in folks at the same time, at 4:00 am here!

DR RON; are you sure it's vampires and NOT Mis Vickie who need to go out?????

DR Tom from OZ: I love the indirect asking for my picture!

DR Ben: I always look suave and debonaire -- like Fred Astaire -- even tho I tried debonaire AND suave but failed!

I precisely have one picture of me that American guests took -- they had some film to waste -- some weeks ago in the lobby and recently sent to me: wonder if I should mailed it back with an autograph???
Now wait, who said I'm vain?

Dr Ron,

Well, after a Google search, it seems they know what they're talking about.
More precisely, I found that Soizic is from Brittany (Bretagne, here) and is both male and female and means little François or little Françoise.

That's what I call terrorifically news!

No, DR Ron is only getting familiar with BK today; I still can't believe what he wrote about the candy thing!

LOL!

Tom,

I don't understand why you'd like to post my picture on my behalf, since it's a very unseemly place to choose.
Besides, I have to ask my behalf's agreement....

Am I starting to sound like BK?

We need to see the "buns of steel" we've heard so much about!

Or was it the tummy of steel?

YES, groaning is allowed on Halloween night!

DR François I did not mean to imply that your "behalf" needed to be covered. It is probably as cute as hell.

Happy Halloween to all the Ghoulies/Ghosties here at HHW

First, let me say that with people in costumes in the subways here in NYC - it's not all that different than any other day..

The kids walking around in my building are adorable... no one is dressed up as a ham chunk, cheese slice or even a Benjamin Kritzer though...

I am mostly errant and truant this evening because after unloading 26 boxes that I shipped up from storage, I am wiped out.  BUT I am finally able to convert my Sweeney Todd laserdisc to DVD - which is why I must bid adieu and allow my computer to use its resources for that purpose.

So, I am sure to get a flogging like Judge Turpin when Bruce reads this post.....

Halloween was very nice and quiet tonight.  Adorable little kiddies came and we showered them with Tootsie Rolls, which ran out very fast.  

MDS--LMAO!  You made me spit out my apple cider with that pic!!

Sandra--you look absolutely lovely in your pic!  Thanks for posting!

François--I was very glad to see you mention Ferré!  I think I'm one of the few Americans who knows his music...the guy was a musical genius.  Did you ever get to see him perform live, I wonder?

Hmmm....well this isn't a Halloween costume pic, but I do have a costume pic from an anime convention I went to this year.
