Remember: Fotomat

This photo, posted by my fellow blogger kenneth in the (212), takes me back to my childhood.

I remember when these were everywhere, all over Fort Worth, my hometown.

I laugh thinking of my high school friend Lisa Priddy who worked for Fotomat.  She used to tell customers that there was a huge facility underneath the street level where all the rolls of film were developed and pics were printed.

Ah, good times...

"Carol Channing: Larger Than Life" screening today at FW Modern Art Museum

In my hometown today for a screening of "Carol Channing: Larger Than Life" at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum.

The Fort Worth Star Telegram gave the film 4 stars and ran a photo of me with Carol on Broadway at "Gypsy of the Year 2010."  Kinda cool for home-town boy.

I'll be attending the 2pm screening with "Hello, Dolly!" Broadway cast mates Halden Michaels, Ashley Stover and Matthew Sipress. The museum invited us to attend and perhaps do a little "talk back" with the audience about the experience of working with Carol on Broadway.

Plus my friends John and Leslie Bell, Addester Williams and Jaynette Dubrowski Holland will also be attending so this is probably the closest thing to a high school reunion I'll ever attend :)

Looking forward to it. The film is terrific and the audience will be too, so if you're in Fort Worth this afternoon come by the Modern and take in a little afternoon cinema.
