We know it's not in the basement of the Alamo.
Although Mae might want to double check.

Ya'll know I ain't got to.

I read a little bit about the production of Pee Wee's Playhouse. They said that the whole first season was filmed in an uninsulated and very poorly air-conditioned NYC warehouse in the middle of summer, where it would often reach 110 degrees under the studio lights. So hot that the makeup would be melting off the actor's faces and they could only work in very short takes, which contributed, as much as anything, to the extremely fast pacing of the show.

No way as many different nutso ways. It is like they took all the nuts from the country and put them in one place...

Hey, if you're gonna be strange you might as well be the King of Strange.

Another bit of trivia about the show...Rob Zombie was a production assistant on Pee Week's Playhouse.
Not what you would expect, given the image he has cultivated for himself as a musician/director of horror films. I'm honestly not much of a fan of most of his music, but I do like a lot of his artwork, and in the interview I read with him, I was impressed with his proffessionality and sense of business.
Rob also most recently directed a remake of the old slasher film "Halloween".....how's that for an autumnal thought?

Yeah, I too read about Zombie working on that show. I've always kind of liked Rob Zombie and his music, even going back to his White Zombie days, but I especially like his filmmaking. Didn't care much for his remakes, but I love his original films, House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects.. I have in fact met most of the cast from those films at horror/tattoo conventions. The thing that's understood about Rob Zombie is that his public rock persona is a character that he steps into, much the same as Alice Cooper, and unlike Marilyn Manson, of whom one gets the sense that he might be that way 24/7.

King of Strange is one thing but the Emperor Ming of Strange is an entirely different thing. :doh:

...Rob Zombie...in the interview I read with him, I was impressed with his proffessionality and sense of business...

Years ago I read an interview in which Rob recalled the early days of White Zombie when they were still performing in clubs and trying to obtain a solid foothold in the music industry, and he said that while the other band members would go out partying after their shows he would be checking the books and making sure they weren't getting ripped-off by the club owners. He also said that he'd visited some of those clubs years later, and that some of the bands that White Zombie used to perform with were still there trying to make their own way. He also said that a few of the members of those various bands commented (to him) that way-back-when they thought he was "stupid" for doing that, but that being a little older and a little wiser they now realized he was right and wished they had paid more attention to the "business" of their chosen careers the way he had.

...The thing that's understood about Rob Zombie is that his public rock persona is a character that he steps into, much the same as Alice Cooper...

Zombie has long cited Cooper as an influence (he's been quoted as saying he always "wanted to be Alice Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Bela Lugosi, and Stan Lee."), and the two became friends in (or around) 1998 when Cooper telephoned Zombie prior to the release of Zombie's first solo album Hellbilly Deluxe. Cooper had been through the experience of transitioning from being the frontman of a successful band to a solo act in 1974-75, so he called Zombie to offer reassurance and support and they hit it off.

When my wife and I took our dog out for his walk yesterday evening we agreed that anyone visiting from out-of-state this weekend would see the high prices and feel the humidity, and wonder why anyone would think California was such a good place to live. lol

When friends in Nashville, visited us whilst touring Europe a couple of years ago, they phoned to find out what sort of weather we were having so that they could pack appropriate clothing. When I asked how long they intended to stay in the UK, they said that they were expecting to be here for about two weeks. "Two weeks eh, well in that case you will see the lot." Such is our weather, you can have hailstones the size of tennis balls, in the middle of a heatwave.

Not the leaves, or the pumpkin spiced whatever.
