Grease 1981 Joey Tintfass and I Property Masters and everything else

So in 1981I was attending Bancroft Junior High and involved in a couple of creative things. I had been excepted for an apprenticeship with Zoetrope studios under the Tavoularis brothers (Art Department) and Production Fred Roos. I had two slots out of ten. Anyhow, I was also working with a classmate Joey Tintfass as property masters at our local Junior High.
Being a difficult year with my mom, all ventures away were important, but Joey was an incredible friend. We spent many days painting sets while listening the Grease soundtrack off a record. We got props everywhere, dumpster diving, trays from La Cage Aux Folles Restaurant. We were all over the place. Specifically I remembered the painting of puffy clouds in the girls bedroom. Seeing it on youtube was great.
But and the biggest but is that I never saw the production and today my old partner in crime posted it in its entirety. I was so excited!!! After 34 years, I finally get to watch. So thrilled. I was such a baby, only 15. Wow!!

Next Gen

Went shopping at Antiques at the Barn and came home with this dolls head. Appears to be an old woman but sitting in the cup peeking out at me, it is Jean Luke Picard from Next Gen. He may have to stay with me and not go to the show?
It is sad when you shop for inventory and there is always a chance that that special something may not get its new price tag. The problem of buying things you dig:)

Stripping, painting and other items

We have been working tirelessly for the "show" the last two months. This is an example of Lindas dress form pin display. Between Bill stripping furniture and myself creating pillows and other textile item. We really haven't stopped. When it has been too cold, well then we are painting or fixing/altering items.
We did go out to look at the venue and it appears that it will be an ideal location. So we continue the last couple weeks doing finishing touches.
