Wonderful stuff. I came in to look hoping that I'd be able to go to this. But, alas, I can't. I'm in "festival" stupor thinking about the TCMFF. Oh well.

Festival season has definitely arrived. I'm debating whether or not to head down to L.A. to see if I can get a ticket to "The Razor's Edge" when it screens at the TCM festival.
DeleteThe hubby and I used to go to a restaurant in Stratford, Ontario where the Men's and Ladies Rooms were designated with a picture of Burt Lancaster and a picture of Ava Gardner. Who knew going to the washroom could be a noirish experience?
ReplyDeleteI like it! Wish more restaurants were that creative about their restrooms.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound real cool. Would love to be there!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd love to be in your state for the Bogart Festival in Key Largo!
