I'm Back!

I had a great time in Chicago. Sold a lot of books at the HCS and met some nice people.
We sat right next to Ruth Buzzi, who is a hoot. I also spent time with 3 "Bond girls," Britt Ekland, Maud Adams and Lana Wood, as well as Taina Elg (LES GIRLS), actress Shirley Knight (AS GOOD AS IT GETS), actor Robert Dix (Richard's son, whose credits include FORBIDDEN PLANET) and actor Michael Gross (TREMORS).
On Friday, before we we went to the hotel, our driver gave us a brief tour of the city and he took us to what was once the Biograph Theater. That's where John Dillinger got his.
The name of the theater has been changed and its been completely remodeled, but they do have a poster from MANHATTAN MELODRAMA hanging in the lobby. That's the movie Dillinger saw before he was shot.
I did have Sandy snap a photo of me in the alley next to the theater where the shooting actually took place.
I've uploaded some of these pictures to my Facebook page, so go over and take a look.
I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, then the rest of the week is free.
You have a creative day.
Michael
