A New Dress, Lost Childhood & Access:
The great hunt is over at long last. I can breathe easy. Every year my wife goes out hunting for a new outfit for the Annes grumbling under her breath about how unfair woman`s clothing is and I keep a real low profile and try not to mention that I will be wearing the same tuxedo that I have worn for the last couple of years.
Yesterday I hit the thrift shops on my weekly rounds looking for used videos and managed to score Davey and Goliath. Also found a He-Man and one of the saddest things on the use video racks, someone`s home movies from 1953. It is even sadder than the thrift store trophies to the world`s greatest dad or greatest teacher. These kids grew up as teenages in the 60s but someone throw out their childhood.
Sad! Of course I can`t figure out how anybody can turn loose of all of these rare animation videos. I`m just glad that they do.
I got my access code and password for the online Annie voting in the mail yesterday. If you have not received yours it should be in the mailbox Tuesday or Thursday. What I like about the on line voting concept is that everything is there and you know for sure that the people casting their ballots have seen what they are voting for. It doesn`t hurt to cut down on the mileage into LA either.
See you the Annie Shorts screening at DreamWorks on Tuesday.
