On Saturday...


Fiona and I have cooked up a space to discuss the personal and cultural impact of the Saturday Morning Cartoon phenomenon.  With titles from the mid-1960's to the late-1980's, I predict it's going to be a fun ride fueled by Mimosas, Bloody Marys and "Gordon Ramsey's Perfect Scrambled Eggs".  We're also a compiling a signed and numbered, limited edition reader featuring articles from classic TV Guides, images, and games.  Stay Tuned!

To celebrate my arrival, Host #4 (Fiona Gardner) treated us to Bulleit Bourbon (one of my favorites) and she gave me the general lay of the land.  Roommate overview, key exchange and mattress set-up were the top items on the agenda.  This is going to be an exciting week, as Fiona is the first host to commission a collaborative project.  We are diligently planning a Saturday Morning Cartoon Brunch, replete with a limited edition "reader" as a take-away.  Bloody Marys, Mimosas/Bellinis, and the "Perfect Scrambled Egg" will be featured as we wax poetic (and nostalgic) about the cartoons of the mid 1960's - late 1980's.

TaB: A favorite of teacher's lounges (cira 1982)

I just tasted it.  I am intrigued.  But I'm not sure if I like it our not.





If I was to be a better person, would you marry me? Right here, right now in the West Village?
