We know it's not in the basement of the Alamo.
Although Mae might want to double check.
Ya'll know I ain't got to.

Hey, if you're gonna be strange you might as well be the King of Strange.No way as many different nutso ways. It is like they took all the nuts from the country and put them in one place...
I read a little bit about the production of Pee Wee's Playhouse. They said that the whole first season was filmed in an uninsulated and very poorly air-conditioned NYC warehouse in the middle of summer, where it would often reach 110 degrees under the studio lights. So hot that the makeup would be melting off the actor's faces and they could only work in very short takes, which contributed, as much as anything, to the extremely fast pacing of the show.
Another bit of trivia about the show...Rob Zombie was a production assistant on Pee Week's Playhouse.
Not what you would expect, given the image he has cultivated for himself as a musician/director of horror films. I'm honestly not much of a fan of most of his music, but I do like a lot of his artwork, and in the interview I read with him, I was impressed with his proffessionality and sense of business.
Rob also most recently directed a remake of the old slasher film "Halloween".....how's that for an autumnal thought?

Years ago I read an interview in which Rob recalled the early days of White Zombie when they were still performing in clubs and trying to obtain a solid foothold in the music industry, and he said that while the other band members would go out partying after their shows he would be checking the books and making sure they weren't getting ripped-off by the club owners. He also said that he'd visited some of those clubs years later, and that some of the bands that White Zombie used to perform with were still there trying to make their own way. He also said that a few of the members of those various bands commented (to him) that way-back-when they thought he was "stupid" for doing that, but that being a little older and a little wiser they now realized he was right and wished they had paid more attention to the "business" of their chosen careers the way he had....Rob Zombie...in the interview I read with him, I was impressed with his proffessionality and sense of business...
Zombie has long cited Cooper as an influence (he's been quoted as saying he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and Stan Lee."), and the two became friends in (or around) 1998 when Cooper telephoned Zombie prior to the release of Zombie's first solo album Hellbilly Deluxe. Cooper had been through the experience of transitioning from being the frontman of a successful band to a solo act in 1974-75, so he called Zombie to offer reassurance and support and they hit it off....The thing that's understood about Rob Zombie is that his public rock persona is a character that he steps into, much the same as Alice Cooper...

:suspicious:

When my wife and I took our dog out for his walk yesterday evening we agreed that anyone visiting from out-of-state this weekend would see the high prices and feel the humidity, and wonder why anyone would think California was such a good place to live. lol
Tomorrow sucks already. :doh:
