Media Watch: I had a good time visiting the Hockaday Museum as a guest artist, rather than an employee, last night. Didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to speak with, but almost did.
Trash A Go Go I and II Double eliminations on BOTH shows. It's dangerous to be associated with the name "Sabrina" on Trash A Go Go I, but at least they got rid of one of the male schlubs, even though the football player was acting like he wanted to go instead. I'm not fond of Trash A Go Go II's results show at all -- don't know how to "fix" it either, except by using guest stars, and eliminating biological sex as criteria in the final six.

Two of MY favorite dancers:

(R to L) Patsy D'Roubay (that's French!) and Hillary Elmore onstage in the late 1970's, choreography by Debra Ryals. Hillary also toured with Katie Duck in Tunisia.
