I've always loved the elegant scrollwork on vintage box offices. That one makes me envision the neck of a giant Victorian violin.

Non-fat half-and-half? How is that possible? What's the other half? Froth? Air? Anti-milk?

I half to go back to the store to read the microscopic ingrediant list before I answer. Anti-milk is a good guess.

I remember going to both the Loyola and the Paradise growing up (the Paradise building also used to be a theatre). The Loyola had more family movies, and I saw a lot of the early 1960s Disney stuff there.

I grew up in Mar Vista. We took Sepulveda Blvd. to visit my cousins in Torrence. I remember my first ride through the tunnel that goes under LAX. Are you old enough to have played in Ballona Creek before it was paved?

[cahwyguy]

Don't remember that, but I do remember as a young boy going onto the Gas Company property, and playing in "the swamp".

I know people who were at the NAAFA conference.

Old movie houses are dear to me, filled with memories and dreams. The design and decor sing out.

[auntysocial]

The conference was smaller than others, but I enjoyed it. Perhaps we have a few mutual acquaintances?

Joyce Mudd, Cathy Miller?

[auntysocial]

Yes, I know both of them. I saw Cathy, but not Joyce. I own two of Joyce Mudd's sculptures. I met her at the first fat conference I attended, a women's gathering in the S.F. Bay Area in the mid-nineties. I've bought clothing from Cathy when she was running Big On Batik.
