Mister D:
Well, I made it to Hammond, IN and what a dump I’m staying in. It is more barren than Bush’s brain. I took a taxi here and they have no restaurant or bar (OMG!)in the hotel….it is concrete heaven. I can walk to Cracker Barrel, but that’s about it. This place does have a refrigerator and microwave…but geez, I have no food to put in it!!! Guess I could grab a taxi for a chocolate run. It really looks like I’m in an industrial park and far in the distance I can see a Wendy’s and of course CB which I should still boycott.
Supposedly The Venue is still being worked on at the last minute. From what I gather rehearsals were done in hard hats…can you imagine that? Bette must be livid! Or laughing her ass off!
Anyway, I’m here for 3 nights and meeting up with one of my favorite BetteHeads, Jeremy, from thejeremyshow.com Maybe he will take me food shopping. I’m hoping to meet others, too. If you come to the show and see me, please bring me some food for my fridge or at least a beer!
In the meantime, I will be doing a lot of reading – especially the long assed novel Crysyal wrote to me about her Lalapalooza experience. I only hope she kept her top on!!!
Speaking of reading….Ron wrote in to say there is an article on Bette and NYRP in the latest edition of Architectural Digest with a small picture of her and one of her finished projects. So everybody should go check out the magazine.
I’ll report on the show as soon as I get back to my room, unless I develop some kind of gambling habit…after all I DO have one of those addictive personalities. If not, there would be no Bootleg Betty….I love it!
Love,
Mister D
You should get a Hostelling International card like I did…LOL!
wish you were here with me!
WARNING: Absolutely no alcohol should come within 100 yards near anyone named Mister D or any boyishly blonde-haired man who claims that beer makes you smarter by killing only weak brain cells.
well i didn’t get my boobs painted like hundreds of girls (then again i don’t have any to begin with..) Try to have a great time & bring back some pix for us!
btw you need to comment on my photos….b/c clearly I have no friends on myspace! cough cough (-;
you mean we are all going to this barge? yiiikes, and like there’s a steel mill and stuff around? like lemmings to the sea….songs about the sea…..and so it goes! kind of reminds me of high school or something doesn’t it?
So what’s your point? 🙂
Love, D
cannot wait to see the show. hope we don’t all drown.
I will be wearing a life vest…I’ve put together a whole outfit centered around that color. I’ll be the belle of the ball….
Love, D
Let’s hope you won’t need the lifevest. But if the casino starts to sink, 2500 of ya’ll can do your best Shelly Winters!!
Do you remember when Bette’s CA home was featured in Arch. Digest in the mid-80’s? Very nicely done. I’ve always hoped they would do her NYC home. One can only hope. I had that article from the 80’s but it was lost in the flood. No, not the Katrina flood but the flood when my hot water heater overflowed.
Have fun tonight and we look forward to your full report when you get home. Safe travels!!
Thank you Mark. BTW, I kind of look like Shelly Winters now…LOL
I lost my AD in the move to Nashville I think, but I would love to see a spread on her NY pad, too. Bet it’s awesome.
Thanks for your emails and concerns….
Love, Don
tell my GIRLS hello!!!
