I think it houses a dental school now, but what it houses has changed several times in the 15 years I've lived a block from it.<br /><br />But back in the 1970s, that building was Filmation. All the Filmation shows were made there in that building I pass by daily. I seldom glance at it without imaging Shatner, Nimoy and the cast of <i>Star Trek</i> going in to record the vocal tracks for Filmation's Saturday morning animated <i>Star Trek</i> series, 45 years ago.D.

Our choices varied slightly, but not completely. When do you find out what the audience picked, and who wins the trip to Aruba and the Rice-A-Roni?<br /><br />It was also neat to be at the historic Stella Adler theater and school. And to see the star for Hanna Barbera (no hyphen) on the sidewalk outside. Next time, I've got to find the star honoring Filmation.

Some of the others are not so fortunate. But with such quick plays, even when one bores you, five minutes later something quite different will be along.<br /><br />Nice audience shot. You got the small balding spot on the back of my head framed perfectly.D.

( I wrote "End of the Rope", one of the Wild Card pieces, so flew down from Oregon to see both line-ups.) You got my vote in the evening performances! <br /><br />I remember CLEARLY where I was during "The Fugitive" finale. It's like knowing where you were when JFK was shot! Thanks for your contributions - here and elsewhere. (And I, too, believe life should be experienced through "Oh wow!" lenses as often as possible...)nancyhttp://nancyhopps.com/noreply@blogger.com
